DAVID: I couldn't let you die.<br />

ELLIOT: That's what I wanted.<br />

DAVID: I don't care what you wanted.<br />

DAVID: At least you were alive.<br />

ELLIOT: Did my lips taste like salt?<br />

DAVID: I was saving you.<br />

ELLIOT: Did it hurt?<br />

DAVID: What?<br />

ELLIOT: When I punched you? Did I make your nose bleed?<br />

DAVID: I didn't care about that.<br />

ELLIOT: What did you care about then? You didn't want my death on your conscious?<br />

DAVID: You know that's not why I saved you.<br />

DAVID: You would have done the same if it was the other way around. Wouldn't you?<br />

DAVID: You didn't want to stay.<br />

ELLIOT: Everyone needs to escape sometimes.<br />

DAVID: All the way to America?
