Sebastian : I had a very serious plan for my future. Laura : I know. Sebastian : It's not my fault I got shanghaied. Laura : You didn't get shanghaied. You got ripped off. Sebastian : What's the difference? Laura : I don't know. It's not as romantic as that. Sebastian : Why do you say "romantic" like it's a dirty word? Laura : Unpaid bills are not romantic. Call her. Sebastian : I'm not gonna call her. And the thing is y-y-y-you're acting like life's got me on the ropes. I want to be on the ropes, okay? I'm just... I'm letting life hit me 'til it gets tired. Laura : Oh? Sebastian : Then I'm gonna hit back. It's a classic rope-a-dope. Laura : Okay, Ali. I love you. Unpack the boxes. Sebastian : I'm gonna change the locks. Laura : You can't afford it. Sebastian : I'm a phoenix rising from the ashes.
