Be careful, you are not in Wonderland. I’ve heard the strange madness long growing in your soul, in your isolation but you fortunate in your ignorance. You who have suffered find where love hides, give, share, lose, lest we die unbloomed.

Kill Your Darlings (2013) dir. John Krokidas

Allen sits down beside Lucien. Lucien softens, lies down, head in Allen’s lap. Passing out from the liquor. Lucien closes his eyes and passes out against Allen. Allen shakes nervously, finding himself suddenly holding Lucien’s body for the first time. We follow Allen’s P.O.V. as he plays with Lucien’s hair. Slowly slides his finger down Lucien’s face to his lips. Lucien’s eyes open. Allen tenses. But Lucien suddenly takes Allen’s finger in his mouth. Sucks on it.

CUT BACK TO: Lucien’s head passed out in Allen’s lap. Allen still petrified. We were just in Allen’s imagination.

Be careful, you are not in Wonderland. I’ve heard the strange madness long growing in your soul, in your isolation but you fortunate in your ignorance. You who have suffered find where love hides, give, share, lose, lest we die unbloomed.
