Fridays on Apple TV+Shining Girls Season 1 Episode 5: "Screamer" Quotes
Sketch Artist: A composite isn't a portrait. Some stranger won't recognize him off the street. That never happens.
Kirby: Then what am I doing here?
Sketch Artist: We just need enough details for someone who knows him, so they can recognize the sketch.
Kirby: It won't work. No one knows him.
Dan: That's him. He had a tattoo? How did you get that? Lynsky wouldn't release a copy to me.
Kirby: I took it.
Dan: I know how he found you. I saw him at the Madrigal house.
Kirby: He talked to you.
Dan: Yeah, he wanted to know about Julia. He wanted to know about what I was going to write. Listen, I shouldn't have brought you there. He must have seen us together.
Kirby: No. He's been watching me for a lot longer than that. Since when I was a kid
Dan: Like you guys, you guys grew up together?
Kirby: No. He has just always been there. I remembered him from when Rachel and I were living at one of her fuckin' boyfriend's places. He came up to me. I was on my own, and he was the same as last night. Exactly the same.
Kirby [crying]: It's not just him. Things change for me. From one second to the next. They're different.
Dan: Please don't do this.
Kirby: It happened the first time after my attack. I'd been out of the hospital for maybe a year. I had been back at work that whole time. So, I go into the Tribune, just like always, and security says that I hadn't been there for months. They hadn't seen me. No one had talked to me. There was someone else sitting at my desk. And then, I go home, and my mom was there. She said she'd been crashing with me. I hadn't lived with her since I was a kid. She had no idea what I was talking about. No one did! Things change for me just like that, and nobody knows any different! And then it happens again and again.
Dan: Have you talked to Marcus about this?
Kirby: That's what I'm telling you. I never married him. I just came home one day, and he was there.
Dan: I don't know what to say.
No one really knows how we're connected. Take two particles; they could be connected somehow like there's an invisible thread linking them. They can't act independently, so if you affect one, the other reacts in kind. Their actions are entangled. One impacts the other, even across all of space-time.

Harper: I saw a change outside the house.
Leo: Really? Are you sure it's not like the lights? Maybe you're starting to slip, too.
Kirby [whispers]: Do you seriously think I planted evidence?
Dan: That could be how the matches got there.
Nurse: Fuck me. That is you, right?
Kirby: Yeah.
Nurse: Not gonna lie; you look pretty rough here.
Kirby: They only use the glamour shots if you get killed, so.
Dan: When things change for you, do you recognize it?
Kirby: Sometimes. Other times they're just random.
Dan: Maybe they're what's to come.
