Alan: You were so young.
Quentin: Oh, god! And the things we said he did! The cave? Did you ever find it?!
Alan: No.
Quentin: How did you know he was guilty? You killed an innocent man.
Alan: There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about that night, Quentin.

Quentin: So what did you do? Did you call the police?
Dr. Holbrook: He left town before we got a chance to confront him. He's gone. He can't hurt you anymore. So these dreams, that you're having, They're...they're repressed memories, from a terrible terrible time.

Kris: Dean said something right before he died.
Jesse: Oh, please don't...
Kris: He said, "You're not real." He kept repeating it over and over again. Do you have any idea what that means?
Jesse: No, I don't. Think about; What would it mean? Dean was on a truck load of medication when...
Kris: Jesse, when it happened, it was like somebody was making him do it but there was nobody there. Jesse, you have to believe me.
