"[reading the monologue from Gustavs script during the table read] I had this kind of... crisis. I was alone in the house again, lying in my bed, crying. I know everyone lies in bed crying, but... Someone said praying isnt really talking to God. Its acknowledging the despair. To throw yourself on the ground because thats all you can do. Not unlike lying with your heart broken, thinking... "Please, call me.", "Please, forgive me.", "Please, take me back." And... [she starts tearing up] I had fucked up. And I was alone and crying. And then, for the first time, I sat down on the floor... and prayed. I dont know who I said it to, but I said it out loud, "Help me, I cant do this anymore. I cant do it alone. I want a home. I want a home."
