CONSTANCE
You work hard not to be seen as a sex object. Before long, you're not seen at all.
DAVID
I see you.
She's begun to cry.
CONSTANCE
I'm so tired.
Tired of being afraid.
Tired of being so alone.
I don't wanna be alone anymore.
[ A Vida de David Gale ]

Sei que a escolha foi pessoal, mas tem essas passagens interessantes também:
Bitsey: Weird coincidence?
Zack: Coincidences are always weird.
That's why they're coincidences.
Essa dá uma pista do final do filme:
David: you get Lacan's point: Fansasies have to be unrealistic.
Because the momente, the second that you get what you seek you don't, you can't want it anymore.
In order to continue to exist desire must have its objects perpetually absent.
It's not the "it" that you want, it's the fantasy o "it."
Desire supports crazy fantasies.
This is what Pascal means when he says that we are only truly happy
when daydreaming about future happiness.
Or why we say, "The hunt is sweeter than the kill." or, "Be careful what you wish for."
Not because you'll get it because you're doomed not to want it once you do.
So the lesson of Lacan is: living by your wants will never make you happy.
What it means to be fully human is to strive to live by ideas and ideals.
Not to measure your life by what you've attained in term of your desires but those moments of integrity, compassion, rationality
even self-sacrifice.
Because in the end the only way we can measure the significance of our own lives is by valuing the lives of others.
