“Dookie: At the end my mom couldn't even walk to the corner.
Heffer: At the end my dad couldn't even make it up the stairs. They had to move the bedroom into the living room.
Bitsy: My dad wouldn't come out of the basement. They had to put a chemical toilet in.
Heffer: My dad had to be on oxygen to watch the hockey game.
Bitsy: My mom can't stand at the sink to wash her own face.
Dookie: Hips?

“[To us] The only thing worse than trying to kill yourself and failing is having to
talk to your mom after trying to kill yourself and failing-- particularly when she
knows deep down somewhere it's at least partially her fault, but her mouth and
brain have never actually formed the phrase "I'm sorry" in her entire life, so here
you are, with nothing but a berry smoothie between you, and... and...”

“He couldn’t breathe, either. His lungs had been stolen by the darkness. He sputtered and clutched his backpack close to him, both arms wrapped around it like a life raft. Gulliver chirped, not knowing any better. Or maybe he did, and he was saying good-bye.”

“DAVID. I don't believe this is a prayer for regret or remorse
Or whatever. I think he's ... I think he's surprised at who
He is ... who he really is.
I think he's looking down blood on his fingers and he saying,
"What am I Lord?"
What a marvellous and fearful thing am I?
Are all of us, sir.
HEADMASTER. David did you hit Pharus Young?
DAVID. I had prayed over it, so many times. Just kept praying
On it. Every time it would happen.
HEADMASTER. Every time?
DAVID. And the Lord was silent. I mean when I got called
To be a minister I could feel the Spirit but when I was
Asking him to make this ... make it ... go away
He fell so quiet
And I ain't have nobody but Pharus. You understand, sir?
It was us alone in it until I thought I heard somebody come
In and ...
HEADMASTER. What are you saying son?
DAVID. I should have waited on the Lord.
I didn't look to see where it was leading until it was too late ...
HEADMASTER. You ...
DAVID. 'Til I looked at my hands and some of the blood spilling was my own. (Shifts.)”
