Zack GottsagenQuotes

Eleanor: Ahem. So how far is it, um... on the raft?

Tyler: [''Makes a measurement gesture with index finger and thumb''] About that far on the map.

Eleanor: Are your fingers to scale?

Tyler: Yeah.

Eleanor: [''Makes a far wider measurement gesture with index finger and thumb''] So how much time is that much?

Tyler: That's different than what I put up.

Eleanor: All right.

Tyler: What I did is about a day. Maybe two days.

Eleanor: Days? Like..

Tyler: Yeah.

Eleanor: [''Checks phone''] Okay. Are you kidding? What in the Christ... Hey, Zak, why don't you sit down, bud. You're kind of close to the edge. I don't want you to fall in. Hey, are you hungry? Have you eaten anything?

Zak: I am not really hungry.

Eleanor: Well, maybe you just have a bite of something for your blood sugar.

Tyler: He don't want nothing to eat.

Eleanor: You know how you get, buddy. I have an apple.

Tyler: Hey.

Eleanor: [[w:M&M's|some M&M's] I have ]. What?

Tyler: Don't do that.

Eleanor: Don't do what?

Tyler: Hey, I got an idea. Why don't we keep your training going? Just because we're on a raft doesn't mean we can't stop training, does it? All right, so we're going to do some breathing exercises. She's worried about your blood sugar. We're gonna breathe. Take a deep breath in. Out. Cool. Now, come over here and put your head underwater. I'm gonna time you.

Eleanor: What? No, no, no, don't do that. Zak.

Tyler: [''To Eleanor''] No. He can do that. He can do that. He can... there you go. You better stop calling him a retard.

Eleanor: I have never called anyone a... that word.

Tyler: [''Zak resurfaces''] Okay. Hold on, listen. When people are saying he's a retard, really what they're saying is he can't do some shit they can do. See, you might not be saying the word "retard", all right, I'll give you that, but you damn sure is making him feel retarded. That ain't gonna help his life. Hey, there we go.

Zak: Time. How long is that?

Tyler: Long.

Eleanor: Not long enough, Zak. Do it again.

Zak: [''Puts head underwater''] Okay.

Eleanor: You have got some real nerve talking to me like that. Do you even know what I do? I've spent the last two years of my life volunteering to hold people's hands as they pass away. I talk to them, I feed them, I wipe their asses, I change their clothes, I put them to bed. And I'm the last person they see. Don't act like you know jack shit about me.

Tyler: [''Throws up both hands''] All right.

Eleanor: Yeah, maybe he should not be in a retirement home, but I didn't choose that for him. But, that's what's happened and now I am doing the best I can.

Tyler: [''Zak resurfaces with a fish in hand with Tyler grabbing it''; ''Starts pounding fish's head on the platform''] Oh! Oh! Hey! Oh, shit! Oh! God! Zak! Okay! Yeah! Lunch!

Eleanor: Zak, did you just catch that with your hands?! How'd you do that?! You're a wild man! Oh my god!

Eleanor: [''Drives to the beach and runs to Zak''] Zak. Zak. Zak. Oh my god. Zak, are you okay? Oh my god.

Tyler: [''Urinating off shore''] Hello! Hey!

Eleanor: Come on, sit up.

Tyler: You found us. Them pheromones. Like a bear.

Eleanor: What is this? What's on your face?

Tyler: Yeah!

Eleanor: I thought you said you hadn't seen him! He's right there.

Tyler: There he is.

Eleanor: Come on buddy. Let's go. Come on. Thank you.

Tyler: No, we're good. You're good right there. Sit right there. He's all right.

Eleanor: Okay, I don't know what's going on, but, uh...

Tyler: Put that on, Zak. Here brother. I've got it.

Eleanor: Thank you.

Tyler: He could do it. He could put his own shirt on. He's 22 years old.

Eleanor: Thank you. I've got it. We're good now.

Tyler: Huh.

Eleanor: Here you go bud. You ready? You good to go? you okay?

Zak: Ah, my ankle.

Eleanor: What? What...

Tyler: He's fine

Eleanor: What happened to his ankle? What's wrong with his ankle?

Tyler: Nothing's wrong.

Eleanor: What are you doing?

Tyler: [''Mocking''] What are you doing?

Eleanor: Who are you even?

Tyler: [''Mocking''] Who are you even?

Eleanor: You have a young boy with Down syndrome in the middle of nowhere.

Tyler: I'm the one who's been taking care of him because you can't do it unless you put him in a cage.

Eleanor: [[w:Lord of the Flies|Lord of the Flies] Okay, um. Look, he needs to be properly take care of, and that's my job. I'm sorry to break up your primitive little gang, or whatever's going on, but this is not ]. Okay, you can't. There's rules, regulations. Medication. Paperwork.

Tyler: . Yeah. All right. Well, while you've been doing paperwork, we've been something called living, ain't that right, brother?

Zak: Yeah.

Eleanor: [''Tyler chuckles''] Okay. Cool. But we're gonna go, so, thank you.

Tyler: No, we're not. He's fine where he is.

Eleanor: May I please speak to you in private?

Tyler: Oh. Oh, like, a private party? Yeah, all right.

Eleanor: One second, Zak.

Tyler: I got water. You want water?

Eleanor: Right now.

Tyler: [''To Zak''; ''To Eleanor''] Primitive gang". Hell yeah. I like when you put your hair up like that. It's nice. Water?

Eleanor: Look, I could have you arrested for kidnapping, okay?

Tyler: Oh, you're going to have me arrested? How- how do you figure? You can't have me arrested. He's a runaway. Can't kidnap a runaway. Come on, genius. You said GW, didn't you?

Eleanor: I'm sure I could find some reason to arrest you.

Tyler: Hey, let me ask you, what do you want for him?

Eleanor: I'm not going to sell him to you.

Tyler: No, I mean what do you want for his life? His future?

Eleanor: Why are you- you don't know anything about him.

Tyler: You know about the wrestling?

Eleanor: Yes, of course I know about the wrestling.

Tyler: All right, so I know something about him, don't I? So, uh, you're a little late to the party. This is what's going on. I made a promise to him, to get him to that wrestling school in Ayden.

Eleanor: Oh.

Tyler: [''Zak sees Eleanor's van keys and takes it''] You understand? I gave him my word, and I ain't gonna back down on my word. Now, you seem like a nice person. You care for him and all. You came all the way out here. Maybe it's because you like me. I don't know. Yeah? And, uh, Imma offer you a favor. You can get on the raft with us and you can ride down there if you want.

Eleanor: No. No, we're not going to hop on your little raft and cruise around the river.

Tyler: It's hot. You're confused. I'm not asking you.

Zak: [''Throws van keys into water''] Hey, Eleanor!

Eleanor: Oh! Ooh! Oh! Oh.

Zak: I want to see Salt Water Redneck. And I don't want to go home.

Tyler: When you get off, go towards the shore. There's drag marks. What happened?

Zak: My ankle hurts.

Tyler: Your ankle hurts?

Zak: Yeah.

Tyler: [''Hands Zak the moonshine jug''; ''Zak drinks it effortlessly''] All right, we'll fix you right now. Drink that. Make you feel better. All right, rule number one is what?

Zak: Party!

Tyler: Party! All right! Ha!

Zak: Yeah! Yeah!

Zak: I cannot feel my... my hands. I cannot feel my hands and I cannot feel my ankle.

Tyler: [''In an immature tone''; ''In a redneck drawl tone''; ''Zak walks to Tyler''] You can't feel shit! You can't feel shit! Don't step on me now! Don't step on me!

Zak: Oh, excuse me, Tyler, you can't feel shit.

Tyler: What?!

Zak: [''Attempts lift up beachfire log but relents''] I gotta get my log.

Tyler: Hey.

Zak: I'm not strong enough.

Tyler: Who's strong enough? Who's strong enough? Hey, you know what you need? You need to change your- you need to change your name. You need to get a... an alter ego. You know what I'm saying. Like in the Wrestling Federation. Wrestlers go their alter egos. What's your favorite wrestler's name?

Zak: The Salt Water Redneck.

Tyler: The Salt Water Redneck ain't born with that name. You need a name. What's your name?

Zak: Falcon!

Tyler: Falcon. Falcon. Ooh, falcon. Falcon. That's a good name. Hold on. Ooh, I got an idea. Hold on right there, wait right there. You got to make a uniform. Falcon uniform! Hell, yeah!

Zak: Falcon!

Tyler: [''Starts strapping branches to Zak's back''; ''Starts smearing peanut butter on Zak's face''] Hey! Did I tell you could have some of that peanut butter?! It ain't snack time! It's jack time! Here we go. Whoo-hoo! We need war paint! Yeah. I need peanut butter. You want to be slick.

Zak: The Peanut Butter Falcon!

Tyler: [''Zak starts pushing up a log to the beachfire''; ''Zak pushes the log into the beachfire with Tyler cheering''] Get it up! Pick that sucker up! Push it! Push it! Push it! You got it! You got it!

Zak: [''Roars to the sky''] Peanut Butter Falcon!

Tyler: You got it!

Zak: [''Roars to the sky''; ''Passes out after drinking''] I'm the Peanut Butter Falcon!

Tyler: [''He and Zak come across a metal rowboat''] This can work.

Jasper: [''Walks out of house pointing a pistol''; ''Fires shot narrowly missing Tyler''] Freeze, you son of a bitches! You son of a bitches think you can come over here and rob Japser just cause he's blind?! Well, you better think again, goddamn it! Y'all boys black or white?! Okay!

Zak: White!

Tyler: White!

Jasper: I knowed you was white! I could smell you a mile off! Is you God-fearing?!

Tyler: Yup.

Jasper: Well, good.

Jasper: There's sheep in this world and there is wolves in this world. I may not have my eyes, but I know the difference. And I know that you two boys, fleece-wearing weary travellers who lost their way. Neither of you are wolves. You're just sheep who strayed from his flock. I'm donating the supplies from my junkyard for your pilgrimmage. Anything but that tin boat, y'all can have it because I figure it's my duty to get you back to your shepherd. Now, I can't have you boys running off of here with your hands all dirty and everything, because a wolf might hunt you down just by the smell of your past sins. And I wouldn't want no wolf to get ahold of you, because that'd be a frightful bloody mess. So, we gonna clean you up right... with a baptism.

Zak: What's a baptism?

Tyler: It's like swimming.

Jasper: Y'all boys come on down here and bathe in the warm waters of forgiveness.

Tyler: I'm more of "baptism by fire" type.

Jasper: Well, unfortunately, I don't perform those kinds of baptism.

Jasper: Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Nothing can touch you now, by the grace of the Lord.

Zak: Bye Jasper. Stay cool. Take care.

Voice over Jasper: Accept his blessing. Let all the wolves of your past be laid to rest.

Zak: [''Puts his hand on Tyler's back''] Tyler, I am going to give you all my wishes for my birthday.

Tyler: Thank you.

Zak: Your welcome.

Tyler: I ain't the slightest bit scared of you.

Zak: I... I want to be... a professional... wrestler. And I am a bad guy.

Tyler: Why do you wanna be a bad guy?

Zak: Because my family left me.

Tyler: That don't make you a bad guy. Good guys get left too, Zak. Ain't no silly laugh, or wearing black, or eyed shadow and shit. Ain't nothing to do with that. It has to do with what's in here, in your heart. You got a good-guy heart. You can't do shit about it, that's just who you are. You're a hero.

Zak: I can't be a hero because I am a Down's syndrome.

Tyler: What's that got to do with your heart? Who told you that?

Zak: Coach. Teachers.

Tyler: Your coach? What'd your coach say?

Zak: I am retarded.

Tyler: [''Zak nods''; ''Zak body language confirms negative status''] Your coach said that? What a shitty coach. Your team ever win anything? No? Some shit you ain't never going to do. That's all right. You can't be everything. You ain't gonna be no professional basketball player. You ain't gonna dunk no basketball, or be an Olympic swimmer. You sink like a stone, because your all muscle. Muscle sinks. Today, you pulled me up out that water, you almost pulled my whole arm out the socket. Most grown folk I know ain't got that kind of strength. You're strong, Zak. Fuck your coach.

Zak: Tyler.

Tyler: Yeah?

Zak: Who those people on the boat?

Tyler: On the boat? That's Duncan and Ratboy.

Zak: They are a good guy or a bad guy?

Tyler: Bad guy.

Zak: Tyler.

Tyler: Hmm?

Zak: Are you the good guy or a bad guy?

Tyler: I don't know. What you think?

Zak: You are a good guy.

Tyler: [''Wakes up to see Zak''] What?

Zak: Will you please train me?

Tyler: Yeah, I don't know shit about wrestling.

Zak: I want to learn. I want to be a hero.

Tyler: You know how to do pushups. Yeah? Let's go.

Zak: Oh, what do you want to do?

Tyler: We're gonna train.

Zak: Yeah.

Tyler: [''Zak walking on diverging train tracks''; ''Hands shotgun to Zak''; ''Teaching Zak to aim''] It's balance. This kicks back, you understand? Always keep your hand like that so you can steady.

Tyler: Hey, so, what's the deal with Eleanor? She's your friend?

Zak: Yeah.

Tyler: She's a nice woman?

Zak: Hmm-mm.

Tyler: What's she like?

Zak: She is my friend. And she has been looking out for me.

Tyler: She's your friend?

Zak: Yeah.

Tyler: [''Hands Zak a drink''] Cheers.

Zak: It is too... too from the other side.

Tyler: Yeah, well, we ain't got many options. I'm not walking through two days of brier bushes, and we can't go back the way we came. So, we're going swimming. You got a better idea?

Zak: We... we could get a plane.

Tyler: Take your pants off.

Zak: I can't swim.

Tyler: [''Wading in river''] Yeah, I know you can't swim. But you can float. Zak, I need you to listen to me. That bag and them pants can hold air. They're going to float you. Do not let them go. You hold on with everything you got, because I sure as shit don't want to have to go swimming over there thinking about you sinking us. I don't want to dredge the bottom for your body. You understand?

Zak: Tyler, am I gonna die?

Tyler: [''A fishing trawler heads towards them''] Yeah, you're gonna die, it's a matter of time. That ain't the question. The question's, whether they're gonna have a good story to tell about you when you're gone. Now, don't be a bitch. Let's go. Don't cry Zak.

Zak: [''After narrowly avoiding the trawler''] That is the greatest story to tell. Uh, come on.

Tyler: [''He and Zak are lying in wait in cornstalks observing the gas station convenience store''] You got any money?

Zak: No. No, I have no money and I got no pockets.

Tyler: [''Throws cargo shorts to Zak''] I'm gonna give you pockets. There's your pockets. I'm going in there to get essentials.

Zak: Can I come?

Tyler: No.

Convenience cashier: Pardon me if I seem alarmed, but I don't normally negotiate with fellas if they got shotguns all over their backs.

Tyler: [''Puts down hiking pack''] Oh, shit. I understand.

Convenience cashier: Ooh, thank you.

Tyler: Yeah, your welcome. Hey, you got any of the, uh- you got any of them two-dollar airplane whiskeys back there?

Convenience cashier: [''Produces [[w:Moonshine|a moonshine jug] No, but uh, I got this.

Tyler: Oh, I can't afford that.

Convenience cashier: It's on me, son. It looks like you might need it more than I do. I'm just gonna get a little swig to calm my nerves.

Tyler: Sure, yeah. You made it?

Convenience cashier: I did, sir.

Tyler: [''Takes a sip''] Ooh. Yeah, you did.

Convenience cashier: [''Eleanor enters store''] Ma'am.

Eleanor: Gentlemen.

Convenience cashier: Ma'am, you'll have to forgive me for staring at you, but you're one of the prettiest women I've seen in ages.

Tyler: Where did you blow in here from?

Eleanor: Richmond. Hmm-mm.

Tyler: [[w:James Madison University|JMU; [w:George Washington University|GW] Richmond? That's nice. So you, uh, you graduated ], or ]?

Eleanor: GW.

Tyler: Yeah. Yeah, you got that look about you.

Eleanor: Oh, yeah? What look is that?

Tyler: You know, just uh, "excited to be alive" kind of look. What you doing up here?

Eleanor: Your nosy aren't you?

Tyler: Yeah, nosy. That's the word for you it. Nosy. Or interested.

Eleanor: Interested?

Tyler: Yeah. Interested. Are you interested?

Eleanor: No, I'm working.

Tyler: Working. What, you working crab boats?

Eleanor: No.

Tyler: I know, that's funny.

Eleanor: I know why you think that's funny.

Tyler: Oh, your trouble I see. Okay, you don't like jokes.

Eleanor: [''Holds up Zak's picture''] I'm looking for a missing person. Have either of you gentlemen- I'm assuming I can use the word; "gentlemen".

Tyler: Have you seen him?

Convenience cashier: No. I aint- I ain't seen him.

Eleanor: [''To Tyler''] Have you seen him?

Tyler: Why? What'd he do?

Eleanor: He ran away from the nursing home I work at. Why? Have you seen him?

Tyler: So you got some kind of reward?

Eleanor: No.

Tyler: What are you? Are you a bounty hunter?

Eleanor: Would I be a bounty hunter if I just said there's no bounty?

Tyler: No. What are you, his sister? Minder or something?

Eleanor: Not that it's any of your business, but I care about him and he's alone, and I want to find him.

Tyler: Maybe.

Eleanor: Maybe? Maybe what?

Tyler: [[w:American dream|American dream; [w:Huckleberry Finn|like the Mark Twain story or something] Yeah, yeah. Well, maybe he's alone. Maybe he ain't alone. You know, you don't know. What if he's living the ] and, you know, he just, uh, ran into a bunch of hitchhikers? You know, ]?

Eleanor: [''She begins to walk away''] Hmm-mm.

Tyler: [[w:Mark Twain|Mark Twain] You like ]?

Eleanor: Thank you.

Tyler: [[w:Louie L'Amour|Louie L'Amour] You like ]? You got a good phone number?

Eleanor: Yeah, I got a phone number.

Tyler: Yeah? You gonna give it to me? So I find him, what you want me to do? Just holler for you?

Eleanor: Yeah, just do that.

Tyler: Yeah? You got a name?

Eleanor: Yeah, I got a name.

Tyler: What is it?

Eleanor: Eleanor.

Tyler: [''She gives him [[w:the finger|the finger] Eleanor. ] and walks out the door] All right partner.

Convenience cashier: Come back.

Tyler: [''Laughing and pointing at Zak''; ''Shakes Zak's hand upwards''; ''Hands Zak boots''] You're a goddamn criminal. You're a goddamn criminal ain't you? Fugitive. Little man on the lam. Met your girlfriend back there, Eleanor. Cute on from the old folks home. She likes you quite a bit. Got a picture of you and everything, showing everybody. That's not a bad thing. As far as I'm concerned, it's a good thing. See, we're going 70 miles upriver. We need a tie that binds. And this right here, you being a wanted man, this is it, just the kind of tie we needed. Hell, yeah. Two bandits on the run. Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah, partner! Come on! Hell, yeah! Listen, we got new rules now, all right? We can't keep doing this way. New rule is, you can't slow me down. you understand? Put these on. So, what I says go. I say jump, you say; "how high"?

Zak: How high?

Tyler: There it is. Rule number one, don't slow me down. Rule number two, I'm in charge, and you're going to carry your own weight.

Zak: You are in charge.

Tyler: That's right.

Zak: Uh, maybe we should... maybe we should have our own secret handshake.

Tyler: What kind of secret handshake? For what?

Zak: Buds, dudes, friends.

Tyler: [''Zak starts slapping Tyler's hands''; ''They bump fists and mimic explosions''] Buds-dudes-friends-handshake? All right, come here. Let's go, hurry up. All right, three of those, four of those. Four of those. Now what? Like that.

Zak: Yeah.

Tyler: Only when special shit happens though, alright?

Zak: Yeah, special things.

Tyler: Special things, you don't curse.

Zak: No.

Tyler: Why don't you curse?

Zak: Because I don't.

Tyler: [''Starts to walk away but Zak stands still''] Okay, come on.

Zak: You are in charge.

Tyler: [''Zak starts walking''] Exactly. Come on. Hey, what's rule number one? What's rule number one?

Zak: Party.

Tyler: No, not party. No, it's not party. Don't slow me down. That's rule number one. Let's go, come on. Come on, pick it up. There you go. You got boots on now.

Zak: Rule number one is not "party". What is rule number one?

Tyler: Don't slow me down". Rule number one?

Zak: You are in charge.

Tyler: All right. We'll figure it out.

Zak: [''He and Tyler are walking through corn field''] Hey Tyler, my feet hurt. Do you have a car? Tyler? Can we walk on the road? Uh, excuse me? Will you please answer me?

Tyler: [''Turns around and heads to Zak aggressively''] Let me tell you something. Imma tell you a story. I'm gonna tell you a story. When I was younger, my brother and I were camping at this place called Caffey's Inlet, and there was a big ass hornet's nest down by the water. So I walked over to them all excited. I'm young, I'm into baseball. And I hit that son of a bitch like a fucking home run. And it exploded on me, and I got stung up real bad. My face swelled up, my eyes got real tight, and I couldn't see shit. Walked back into camp and my brother Mark said to me; "You keep stirring shit up, you're gonna get yourself killed boy". You understand what I'm saying? You ever kick a hornet's nest?

Zak: Last night.

Tyler: You hit a hornet's nest last night?

Zak: Last night.

Tyler: [''Turns around and begins to walk''] So you understand why we can't go up on that road again? Stop with this "Tyler" shit. We're gonna be quiet the rest of the way.

Zak: Tyler.

Tyler: [''Turns around and walks to Zak''] Oh, my, finish what you got to say. Finish what you have to say and then we'll walk on silent. We're not gonna do this no more. "Tyler, Tyler, Tyler, Tyler," what?!

Zak: I want you to know about me. I am a Down syndrome person.

Tyler: [''Turns and starts walking''] I don't really give a shit. Do you got supplies on you? That's what we need, don't we? You got supplies?!

Zak: No.

Tyler: No, you don't! No, you don't! No more; "Tyler, Tyler"! No more!

Heckler boy: Jump, retard, jump!

Zak: No, I'm not gonna do it.

Heckler boy: I thought you were a retard. Not a pussy!

Zak: No, I'm not.

Tyler: Hey!

Heckler boy: Come on, jump!

Zak: No.

Heckler boy: Do it!

Tyler: He can't swim!

Heckler boy: Like I care, dipshit! Come on. Let's go!

Tyler: [''Sets down gear''] What?

Heckler boy: You heard me!

Zak: No. No.

Tyler: [''Takes off shirt''] Hey!

Heckler boy: Come on, do it! Jump!

Zak: I am not going to do it.

Heckler boy: Come on man! Too bad, do it.

Tyler: Hey!

Heckler boy: [''Zak jumps''] Jump retard!

Tyler: [''Punches heckler boy in face and jumps in after Zak''] Didn't I just say-

Tyler: End of the road. You know my name?

Zak: No.

Tyler: Good. This never happened okay?

Zak: Okay.

Tyler: Okay.

Zak: Hey. Can I come with you?

Tyler: Why would I need you to come with me?

Zak: Maybe we could be friends. And buddies. And bro dawgs. And hang. And chill. Have a good time.

Tyler: ['''Walks away''] Be good.

Tyler: [''To Zak''; ''Shoots boat repeatedly with shotgun''] You know that's just trespassing don't you?! We have 30 minutes before this whole shit's underwater.

Zak: Excuse me?! Can you please help me?! I'm scared! I can't swim!

Tyler: You following me?! You ain't got a lick of water on you, do you? When I can leave you, I will.

Zak: I feel great going to Salt Water Redneck's wrestling school and everybody's going to say; "Zak is awesome". I'm going to throw people out the ring. It'll be the Atomic Throw. And I can fight all my friends. We'll have a party. Having a good time. And I feel great.

Carl: [''Bends apart metal bars on window using cloth''] You put this all over your body. It's soap. It'll make you slippery. I was an engineer before. I don't know if I ever told you that. But that's as good as I could get. You just slip through there, and off you go on your way. Okay, bud?

Zak: Carl, you are my best friend. And... and you are my family.

Carl: Well, that's it. Friends are the family you choose.

Zak: And, Carl? You are invited to my birthday party.

Carl: [''Hugs Zak deeply''] Oh, God. Thank you. I'm there. Go kick some ass.

Video Salt Water Redneck: [''Zak mimics throwing''] ...Salt Water, some people claim the Atomic Throw is impossible. Those people are wimps! If you believe in yourself, like the Salt Water Redneck believes in himself, you too can learn the moves, the skills, the Atomic Throw. Some of these moves are outlawed in international countries.

Carl: We watched that throw ten times already.

Zak: I love Salt Water Redneck, and he is my hero, and he is totally... he is totally a badass. And he's the greatest person ever. That's it.

Carl: And you will be the next badass.

Eleanor: [''Comes in and turns off TV''] Zak, you and Rosemary have both lost your privileges for the week.

Zak: Oh, I really don't care.

Eleanor: Oh.

Carl: I got the solution for that. Move Rosemary in her with him and I. I can keep an eye on both of them.

Eleanor: Oh! That'd be great. I'll set that right up.

Carl: Yeah, sure.

Eleanor: [''Holds up pictorial request paper to Zak''] Zak, this is not a joke. That's twice. Two times that you've tried to run. And no I have to label you a flight risk. That sucks. Is that what you gave Rosemary to convince her to pretend be choking?

Zak: Yes, it is.

Eleanor: It's really creative.

Zak: Thank you.

Carl: Not just creative. It's genius. You know why? That's an advertisement for what he wants to do for the rest of his life!

Eleanor: Carl.

Zak: I don't know her. I am young, and I am not old. Carl is old. And we are different. And I don't know why I am here.

Eleanor: I wish I had a better option for you, Zak. But I don't. You don't have a family that can provide adequate supervision for you. I know. So that the state has to put you somewhere, and this just happens to be that place.

Carl: You been here two years?

Zak: Two and a half years.

Carl: We gotta fix that.

Eleanor: Just try to be good. Okay? Tell me you'll try.

Zak: Fine.

Lunch lady: Well, hey, there, Zak.

Zak: How are you doing?

Lunch lady: I'm good, thank you.

Zak: Hmm, I meant your pudding.

Lunch lady: [''Puts it on Zak's tray''] Oh, silly me. Here's your pudding.

Eleanor: Hey Zak, that is so sweet of you to give Rosemary your pudding.

Zak: [''Eleanor walks away''; ''Eleanor feigns choking and Zak make a break for it and is immediately tackled by rest home staff''] That is why I'm being a nice guy. Now.

Zak: [''To a stranger''] Hey, do you want to come to my birthday party?

Zak: Maybe we could be friends and buddies... bro dogs... and chill. Have a good time!

Zak: Tyler, I am going to give you all of my wishes for my birthday.

Zak: You are not invited to my birthday party!
