Carol (2015)

Carol Aird:
[while driving back to Chicago]
What are you thinking? You know how many times a day I ask you that?
Therese Belivet:
Sorry. What am I thinking? I’m thinking that I’m utterly selfish.
Carol Aird:
Don’t do this. You had no idea. How could you have known?
Therese Belivet:
And I should have said ”No” to you but I never say ”No”. And it’s selfish because… because I just take everything and I don’t know anything. And I don’t know what I want. How could I when all I ever do is say ”Yes” to everything?
[turns head and cries]

Carol Aird:
[pulls car to side of road and stops, moves close to Therese and caresses her face]
I took what you gave willingly. It’s not your fault, Therese.
