“Camila knew who Billy was better than he did. A lot of women would have said, “You’ve had your fun, but we’ve got three kids now.” Camila loved Billy exactly as he was. I dug that about her so much. And I really think Billy loved her the same way she loved him. I really do. When they were in the same place at the same time, you could tell he was just so taken with her. He’d stay quiet and let her be the one to talk. And I always noticed that he used to squeeze the lime into her drink before he handed it to her whenever we were all out somewhere. He’d take his own lime and squeeze it into her glass, too. He’d squeeze the two wedges in and then throw them in with the ice. It seemed like a beautiful thing to have, somebody giving you their lime wedge. I mean, I hate lime, actually. But you get the point.”

“I loved my wife. I was faithful to my wife from the very minute I
straightened up. I tried desperately to never feel anything else for any
other woman. But…[breathes deeply] Everything that made Daisy
burn, made me burn. Everything I loved about the world, Daisy loved
about the world. Everything I struggled with, Daisy struggled with. We
were two halves. We were the same. In that way that you’re only the
same with a few other people. In that way that you don’t even feel like
you have to say your own thoughts because you know the other person
is already thinking them. How could I be around Daisy Jones and not
be mesmerized by her? Not fall in love with her?
I couldn’t.
I just couldn’t.
But Camila meant more. That’s just the very deepest truth. My
family meant more to me. Camila meant more to me. Maybe, for a little
while there, Camila wasn’t the person I was the most drawn to. Or…
…
…
…
Maybe Camila wasn’t the person I was the most in love with. At
that time. I don’t know. You can’t…Maybe she wasn’t. But she was
always the person I loved the most. She was always the person I would
choose.
It is Camila, for me. Always.
Passion is…it’s fire. And fire is great, man. But we’re made of
water. Water is how we keep living. Water is what we need to survive.
My family was my water. I picked water. I’ll pick water every time. And
I wanted Daisy to find her water. Because I couldn’t be it.”

“Graham: I said "Hi." And Karen just said, "Hi."

Karen: We were sort of quiet on the phone for a second. And then I said, "How come you've never made a move on me?"
I could hear him drinking a beer. I could hear him take a sip. He said, "I don't take shots I know I'll miss."
It was out of my mouth before I'd decided to say it. I said, "I don't think you'll miss, Dunne."
And then as soon as I said it, there was a dial tone.

Graham: I have never run anywhere faster then down that hall to her room.”
