Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.

Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

What's weird is some of the farm and factory buildings, I've been through Appalachian towns where they're still standing.
