"close on mark's nosedive..will he get out of here alive?"
"i dont own emotion, i rent"
"i cant control my destiny, i trust my soul, my only goal is just to be"
Collins-- are we a thing?

"you always said how lucky you were to have us as friends, but it was us baby, we were the lucky ones."

It's something like that.

"Joanne, which way to the stage?"

And then, do you know Monseiur Marius, I believe I was a little in love with you.

I love the Collins/Angel "Darling, we're everything" exchange too, but I also love the preceding lines.
Angel: Alone at last
Collins(about Mark): He'll be back, I'll guarantee.
Angel: I've been hearing violins all night.
Collins: Anything to do with me? Are we a thing?
Angel: Darling, we're everything.

"Are we a thing?" "Darling, we're everything."

You always said how lucky you were that we were all friends, but it was us, Baby, who were the lucky ones.

There's only now, there's only here. Give in to love or live in fear.

A tiger in a cage can never see the sun. This diva needs her stage Baby, let's have fun.

Angel: But she brought us together.

"Why are entire years strewn on the cutting room floor of memory when single frames from one magic night forever flicker in close-up on the 3D imax of my mind. That's poetic. That's pathetic."

"I wrote a book: "How to Be Popular". Now I've put together a top ten list of how to help you: -Elphie, everyday... shower. I mean, who knows? Maybe some of that green is gonna come off! -Deodorant Elphie. No body likes a stinky witch! -I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that. -Clean underclothes. That's all I'm gonna say. -Look at your posture. That's no way to be popular! -Bed made, room straightened. We've done that. -Colors blended. Oookay. -But the most important thing to have, to make yourself popular, is to keep your beautiful smile." ~Kristin Chenoweth in her last performance of the song "Popular"

Why am I the witness and when I capture it on film does it mean that its the end and I'm alone?

You pretend to create and observe when you really detach from feeling alive / Perhaps because I'm the one of us to survive!

I recognize the addiction to being alive.
