- Bart Bromley: In a 1993 study, individuals who said that they were in love had their brains scanned to show neural activity. The map showed vivid colors over the gray matter, indicating clearly that this romantic love phenomenon activates a flood of dopamine in the caudate nucleus in exactly the same way that cocaine and nicotine affect the brain, meaning that love is not an emotion as is usually thought, rather, it's an addiction. When these chemicals are released in our brains, we feel giddy and euphoric, so much to the point that, we can be so in love that we don't have the desire to eat or to sleep, so it feels good when you have the drug, or the love, but, when it's taken away, you hurt.
- Ethel Bromley: Life is hard, honey. Even for the best of us, life is very hard. When your father passed, that was very hard. I know it was hard for you. It was hard for me, too. And never mind the pain. I know there was a lot of pain and how much it hurt. That was bad, very bad, but not the worst part. The worst part was waking up in the morning and forgetting he was gone. Did you do that? You forget, and then you remember. You remember, and the world ends all over again. But you still have to get out of bed and make the coffee and the toast 'cause the world doesn't really end... it just *seems* that way sometimes. The world is still there. It doesn't go away. It's still waiting for you. It's waiting for you, too, honey.
- Bart Bromley: That's a very complicated question. It could take a while to answer.
