“What was he doing, coming back to a town where he had lived for four years as a boy, trying to recapture something that was irrevocably lost? What magic could he expect to recapture by walking roads that he had once walked as a boy and were probably asphalted and straightened and logged off and littered with tourist beer cans? The magic was gone, both white and black”

“Ahí estábamos los dos, viéndonos sin decirnos nada, como un perfecto ejemplo de lo que significa una pérdida de tiempo: como si el tiempo que nuestras madres nos cuidaron, o nuestras abuelas, su abuela, que vivía cerca de la estación de autobús a la que iban a recogerlos, a él y a su hermano gemelo, sus padres después de trabajar, hubiera sido una mala inversión a la humanidad. ¿Para qué los cuidamos si, en un futuro, este par se mirará afuera de una tienda y no serán ni capaces de decirse adiós, ni de decirse nada? ¿Para esto los cuidamos, para que fueran unos descuidados?”

“- I’m a normal kid, I was raised by television.
The secret to great barbeque: only Oscar knows it. Life should be so simple as enjoying ribs, farting, crapping, pissing, fucking and drinking, and maybe smoking too, but anything other than that is too complicated, life should be simple. It is not.
- Work? You would go to work even if there’s a chance your job’s imaginary?
Imaginary or not, the questions Max poses remain as relevant for Frank, Sam, and Oscar as they are for us.
A slight hangover won’t be best friends with any kind of daylight and while this one wasn’t particularly hazardous, they wouldn’t be having any of it.
"...the lunatic is on the grass."
Surely if you see a bunch of people having a picnic in a park that would turn your head wouldn’t it? How normal a picnic really is? When was the last time you saw one happening? Not in a movie, in real life.
If a man’s hat falls to the ground, said man is expected to pick it up. That’s the premise.
I’m not some pissy little kid who stopped believing in God because some priests rape kids. I don’t believe in God because I can’t be sure of its
existence.
I’m not some pissy little kid who stopped believing in God because the church raped kids. I don’t believe in God because I can’t be sure of its existence.
Nothing is wrong.
You don’t take another man’s hat, another man’s ride, or another man’s woman. Those are universal laws.
- You do not take another man’s hat, another man’s ride, or another man's woman. Universal laws, Rosa.
- Jesus, no. That won’t be necessary Mr. Coyote. If there’s one thing I’ve learned through the course of my life is this: loaded guns make pretty compelling arguments, and it’s not like I was the star in the debate team in high school.
A lot of dinners are joined by assholes, people that don’t matter, and good friends too, but breakfast are kind of elite. You have breakfast with fewer people in your life and most of the time those people you have breakfast with are the good ones.
- That’s the thing: I don’t know. I’m aware of the fact that guns might not be the ultimate protection when what we’re facing is the truth, we’re coming to terms with our reality, but we don’t know what we might find out there and if by god there’s an imaginary monster or something waiting there for us, I’d rather have ammo than luck
No gun will ever protect a man as he prepares to meet his maker.
Personally, I think half a burger is something you can have regardless of how hungry you are.
Air conditioning is a marvel of modern science, how could we have lived without it?
In the end, there was no greener grass than Texas.”
