You know what's wrong with you Miss Whoever-You-Are ?
You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say,
" Okay, life's a fact. People do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness."
You call yourself a free spirit, a wild thing, and you're terrified somebody's going to stick you in a cage.

It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.
(Paul Varjak )

Hell, if they didn't know it 'fore they could tell right then that they weren't a-gonna beat him. That old Luke smile. Oh, Luke. He was some boy. Cool Hand Luke. Hell, he's a natural-born world shaker. (Dragline)
FROM COOL HAND LUKE
And you
You can be mean And I I'll drink all the time 'Cause we're lovers And that is a fact Yes we're lovers And that is that
