Quotes 

• The Cowboy : Isn't that river special, Helen?

  Helen : No. It's just a place with water in it where a corpse was found.

• The Cowboy : What did you scream at him?

  Helen : I'm not telling you that.

  The Cowboy : You've not told anyone, have you? It's easy to tell me, I don't matter.

  Helen : I... I told him that I wished that he'd never been born. That was the last thing I said to him.

  The Cowboy : Did you mean it?

  Helen : I have never meant anything less in my entire life.

  The Cowboy : [pause]  You haven't been to a West Indian funeral.

  Helen : I beg your pardon?

  The Cowboy : I went to one once. It was incredible. There's these women, right, who show up, and their only job is to make you cry. And if they sense that you're not grieving, that you're not letting it out, they surround you, push you, and prod you, do whatever it takes to get it flowing.

  Helen : Why are you saying this to me?

  The Cowboy : Grief, Helen... it's a hole that's all around you. A warm, dark emptiness that you can just fall into.

  [the Cowboy suddenly shoves Helen] 

  Helen : What the fuck are you doing?

  The Cowboy : [continues to shove her back as he speaks]  If you pretend it's not there, it'll live out you. If you try and fight it, it'll engulf you.

  Helen : Look, just stop, okay?

  The Cowboy : [grabbing her by the shoulders]  You need to run towards it, Helen. To the hole that Nathan left. You have to fall into it, love, and let go. So you can move on.

  Helen : [pushing his hands away]  NO!
