Regret and Reflection on Lost Connections
Mrs. Johnson
It's my fault. I know it is. I didn't even know him. I didn't know my own son.
[at Troy's memorial]
Dean Stiffle
Try wanted to play guitar in a rock band -be famous- but he knew he wasn't any good and he felt stupid for wishing that. He had a crush on this girl since he was 13, that he'd never talked to. But he probably wished he would've. He liked you, but he felt sorry for you. He was afraid he'd be like his dad. He was really, really smart, but he kept all his ideas to himself, unless you asked. He took great pictures of people without them even knowing. I miss him, you know? He was my friend. He was my best friend. And I hate myself that I didn't even know he was about to do this.
Mrs. Johnson
Thank you.

Why did you kidnap my brother?
Billy
So you know I'm not fucking around. I want the stuff from Troy.
Dean Stiffle
I already told you...
Billy
I don't think you're listening. You are going to get me Troy's drugs.
Dean Stiffle
Or what?
Billy
Don't push me, psycho.
Dean Stiffle
Or what?
Billy
I'll kill him. That's what I'm gonna kill him. I'm not fucking around, man. I swear to God! I'll cut off his fucking head!
Dean Stiffle
Fine. Kill him.
[hangs up]
Crystal Falls
Billy, what did he say?
Billy
He said for us to kill him. Maybe he is crazy.

No, just fatter than her.

Concerns About Group Project Partners
Mr. Parker
Those kids again, Lee?
Lee
We're doing a group project.
Mr. Parker
With them, Lee? You think they care what grades you get?
Lee
Mom...
Mr. Parker
Look, son, you let your grades go now, maybe you don't get into a top tier school.
Lee
Yeah.
Mr. Parker
You don't get into a top tier school, maybe you settle for a second-rate job. Maybe you don't have the life you want. Maybe each and every day you wake up and wanna crawl back into bed and tell the world to go to hell.
Mrs. Parker
We're just saying, you've worked too hard to blow it in your last year.
Mr. Parker
We've all worked hard together.

Hey, shitballs, come here. I want to show you something. Now, when you get to high school, if anyone tries to kick your ass - well, you're probably gonna get your ass kicked anyways, but if you weren't such a pussy, you could try this. Come at me, hit me in the chest.
[to Charlie]
Billy
No, really come at me like you got a pair.
Billy
Good! That was good!
Crystal Falls
Oh, my God, Billy! Are you hurt, Charlie?

He's about half your size, man.

Existence Above a City of Chaos
The Chumscrubber
I live in a city, but in an apartment high above the cloud left by the blast. I'm one of the lucky ones. One morning, I awoke to find my head was no longer attached to my body. I'm not dead, but who could call this a life? So I do what I can, in this city of freaks and subhuman creatures. I became... The Chumscrubber.
