| watch "closer" before? there was always this scene there that i never understood. any insight? dialogue as follows:- DAN: You're not trusting me. I'm in love with you. You're safe. You had every right, I just want to know.
ALICE: Why?
DAN: Because I want to know everything. Because I'm a lunatic. Tell me.
ALICE: Nothing happened. You were living with someone else.
DAN: What are you justifying?
ALICE: I'm just justifying anything. I'm just saying.
DAN: What are you saying?
ALICE: I'm not saying anything.
DAN: I just want the truth.
ALICE: Where are you going?
DAN: Cigarettes.
ALICE: Everywhere is closed.
DAN: I'll go to the terminal. When I get back, please tell me the truth.
ALICE: Why?
DAN: Because I'm adicted to it. Because without it, we're animals. Trust me.
Dan leaves. Alice looks conflicted.

Dan comes back down the hall, steals a rose from outside another room. He walks in and offers her the rose.
ALICE: I don't love you anymore.
DAN: Since when?
ALICE: Now. Just now. I don't want to lie. Can't tell the truth, so it's over.
DAN: It doesn't matter. I love you. None of it matters.
ALICE: Too late. I don't love you anymore. Goodbye.
ALICE: Here's the truth, so now you can hate me. Larry fucked me all night. I enjoyed it. I came. I prefer you. Now go.
DAN: I knew that. He told me.
ALICE: You knew?!
DAN: I needed to hear it from you.
ALICE: Why?
DAN: Because he might have been lying. I had to hear it from you.
ALICE: I would never have told you, because I know you would have never forgived me.
DAN: I would. I have.
ALICE: Why did he tell you?
DAN: Because he's a bastard.
ALICE: How could he?
DAN: Because he wanted this to happen.
ALICE (getting angry): But why test me?
DAN: Because I'm an idiot.
ALICE: Yes. I would have loved you... forever. Now, please go.
DAN: Don't do this, Alice. Please, talk to me.
ALICE: I am talking. Fuck off.
DAN: I'm sorry. You misunderstand! I didn't mean to.
ALICE: Yes you did.
DAN: I love you!
ALICE: Where?!
DAN: What?!
ALICE: Show me! Where is this love? I... I can't see it, I can't touch it. I can't feel it. I can hear it. I can hear some words, but I can't do anything with your easy words. Whatever you say is too late.
DAN: Please, don't do this!
ALICE: Done.
ALICE: Now, please go, or I'll call security.
DAN: No, you're not in a strip club, there is no security.
Alice picks up the phone. He goes over and grabs it from her.
DAN: Why did you fuck him?
ALICE: I wanted to.
DAN: Why?
ALICE: I desired him.
DAN: Why?
ALICE: You weren't there!
DAN (getting upset): Why him?
ALICE: He asked me nicely.
DAN: You're a liar.
ALICE: So?
DAN (screaming): Who are you?!
ALICE (crying): I'm no one!
Alice spits in his face. Dan thinks about hitting her, and it's obvious.
ALICE: Go on, hit me. It's what you want. Hit me, fucker.
Dan slaps her, hard.
