The plain truth: Patrick Marber wrote "Closer" with sheer brilliance, whether on play (1997) or film (2004).

Ever consumed a line like this?

I think Patrick Marber mastered the greatest form of love: the unrequited kind.

But "Closer" is awesome because of the god that is Clive Owen.

Clive, I can be your revenge fuck. Anytime.
