- Tate: I like birds, too.
- Violet Harmon: Why do you like them?
- Tate: Because they can fly away when things get too crazy, I guess.
- Tate: Something has changed in you. Towards me. You're distant, cold. I don't know what I've done, but I'll leave you alone from now on if that's what you want. Is that what you want? You know why I'd leave you alone? Because I care about your feelings more than mine. I love you. There I said it, not just on some chalkboard. I would never let anybody or anything hurt you. I've never felt that way about anyone.
- Violet Harmon: Come here.
- [Tate climbs into the bed]
- Tate: I'm tired.
- Violet Harmon: Me too.
- [Violet falls asleep after overdosing on sleeping pills. The scene cuts to Tate dragging her down the hall]
- Tate Langdon: [crying] Don't you die on me, Violet! No, don't you die!
- [He drags her into the bathroom]
- Tate Langdon: Don't you die on me!
- [He turns the shower on]
- Tate Langdon: Violet!
- [He sticks his fingers down Violet's throat. She wakes up, throwing up the sleeping pills. When she sees Tate, she begins to cry]
- Tate Langdon: [whispering] It's okay...
- [He kisses her neck as they both continue to cry]
