George: It's not my back that's killing me.
George:Sam, if you were a house, you would want to be built
on rock over-looking the sea.
George: I put a gun to my father's head once. Ever think
like that? He was passed out. Had just been yelling at my
mom over nothing. Under-cooked meat. I went to my room,
I held the barrel right up to his ear, and then I chickened
out again. Of course it was a BB gun but still it would
have hurt like hell.
Sam: Thank you for talking about me behind my back - useful
in court.
George: Change can be so constant, you don't even feel
the difference until there is one.
George: Hindsight. It's like foresight without a future.
Sam: I think there has to be a door between where you cook
and where you crap. Even in the bush - tribal people, you
know, they have places for both. Probably it's like a law.
Maybe in the Bible. It's at least a code violation.
Robin: Oh, I dreamed about your house last night.
George: Finished or unfinished?
Robin: Finished. It was beautiful.
George: Didn't you once dream that you could lick people
well?
Sam: What you think you know doesn't have much to do with
reality.
George: Take that thumbtack out of your chin. It bugs me.
Sam: You snore at night. That really bugs me. Can I take
you out?
Sam: You knew you were dying from the start?
George: We're all dying from the start. I just got moved
to the head of the line.
George: No, Sam. I wasn't trying to get you to like me.
I was trying to get you to love me.
Sam: Well, congratulations...'cause you fucking pulled it
off!
Sam: I've been using since I was 12! You're also unbelievingly
stupid.
Sam: You can't promise me anything because you don't have
anything to promise. You don't have the Internet because
you're not hooked up to the computer!
[shouting]
Sam: ...and you don't have a job!
George: Come on, Sam.
[Sam ignores George and takes his pills]
George: Come on, I'm begging, ok?
Sam: You go fuck yourself!
Sam: I like how it feels to not feel.
George: I know the feeling.
George: I'm having a problem with cancer
Sam: I don't know what that means. What kind of a problem?
George:The kind where there is no answer
Sam: I still don't know what that means
[A grief stricken Sam has been sleeping in Alyssa's room]
Colleen: I'd appreciate it if he slept in the other room.
Alyssa: And I'd appreciate if you hadn't slept with Josh.
[Alyssa has just kissed George]
George: Why did you do that?
Alyssa: When you were dating my mom you seemed like a really
good kisser. Oh god, she'd die if she found out.
George: Let's shut up and let her live.
Sam: Do you have any idea how hard it is to jack off in
an armoire?
Sam: How do you become something you're not?
George: What do you want to become?
Sam: What I'm not.
George: What are you now?
Sam: I'm nothing.
George: Build this house with me.
Robin: What kind of mother can't stand her own son?
George: You've worn out your welcome at this house, Sam.
This may very well be the worst summer of your life but
you've earned it.
