Susan Lowenstein: How do you feel?
Tom Wingo: I, uh, feel okay. I mean, I thought I’d be on the floor, but I feel surprisingly alright.
Susan Lowenstein: Are you sure?
Tom Wingo: Oh, yeah. I mean, uh, well, I’m relieved. The artery’s clean, the ghost’s out of the closet, and I’m—
Susan Lowenstein: You’ve really learned how to cover your pain, haven’t you? You’ve done that all your life. That 13-year-old boy is still in a lot of pain.
Tom Wingo: Don’t do this to me Lowenstein, don’t do this to me.
Susan Lowenstein: I can feel your pain, Tom, I feel it. Let yourself feel it. It takes courage to feel the pain, Tom.

Trevor McKenney: I think some people are too scared, or something. I guess it’s hard for people who are so used to things the way they are – even if they’re bad – to change. ‘Cause they kind of give up. And when they do, everybody kind of loses.

Dee Dee: I loved that asshole so much, I loved him! We used to spend hours just kissing each other, just kissing. Sometimes we’d lock our lips together at night and just fall asleep like that. I loved that! I loved kissing him. I loved touching his face, smelling his breath, falling asleep next to him when he was watching TV. I. . .I used to get wet when he looked into my eyes. One night I didn’t feel it anymore. I looked in his eyes and I was numb. I hated him for that. I just. . .I wanted to feel something again. I wanted him to yell at me, to fight for me. I wanted him to say, “How dare you? Don’t you know how much I love you? Don’t you know how much I’ll always love you? You’re a pain in the ass, but you’re the most important thing in my life and I’m never letting you go. You’re my treasure.” But that never happened. He never said a word. Nobody does that kind of shit in real life.

Elissa: It’s not that she wasn’t interested in opening up to other people, I think it was just more like she just wasn’t used to it. The thing about Kaitlyn is, when she got engaged to Ethan, we were all really happy for her. I mean we were just, it’s like we just totally knew that Ethan was the guy for her. It was so obvious. But then he turned out to be a total liar and she was just devastated. Just devastated. We all were. Devastated.
Arturo: She, uh, she’s your friend?
Elissa: Kaitlyn? No, no. She’s on The Bachelor.

The Writer: Don’t you believe I love you?
The Marquise: No. I do know that at times I arouse desire in you, but desire is not love. Even if you express it with something resembling passion. I’ve had too much experience of the world to be fooled. Innumerable women have the same effect on you that I do.

Sarah: Are these photos useful, or are they just part of a big happy family charade we’re playing or is this technology actually just a way for us to run away from real experience, real despair, real loss?

Marta: Don’t put stuff on your head.
Junior: What should I do with my bad hair?
Marta: Your hair is not bad, my love. Just a little bit down there. It’s just curly hair.

Eli: [On the answering machine] Hi, this is Eli, leave a message.
Brett: Eli, are you there? Buddy? Hello, hello. That’s right, there’s an X-Files marathon on. I cannot believe I’m friends with a Trekkie. It’s pathetic.
Eli: Okay, I am not a Trekkie. You got that? I just like The X-Files. I believe the truth is out there. Don’t you?
