Taxi Driver

"I wanted to be a musician once."

"I'm a graduate of some mid-western high school."

"One of these days a real rain will come."

"I gotta say something. I just, you know, sometimes I say things."

"I've been in a rut for years."

"I want to go out real big, you know?"

"It's like an occupation, you know?"

"I think I should be a whole different person."

"There's no escape. You reach a point where you don't care anymore."

"I can't sleep nights anymore."

"I'm a little nocturnal. I like the night."

"You know, I got a many different personalities."

"A person is smart. People are dumb."

"I got a lot of bad ideas in my brain."

"I should be a model citizen."

"Taxi driver, that's what I am. Driving through the city."

"Each night when I return the cab to the garage, I have to clean the come off the back seat. Some nights I clean it off the walls."

"I got some bad ideas in my head."

"You talking to me? You talking to me?"

"My life has taken many turns. But I'm always trying."

"I work nights. It's better for me."

"All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal."

"Listen, I got my own way of doing things."

"You're a young girl, you should be at home."

"I'm God's lonely man."

"Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere."

"I don't believe that one should talk about oneself."

"Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets."

"You know what I'm saying? I'm clean. I'm very, very clean."

"I exist."
