Mysterious Skin quotes

  • Eric: I got a postcard from Wendy.

    Neil: I think she's mad at me because I owe her like 3 letters.

    Eric: Yeah, her last P.S. is "Tell Fuckface to write me."

  • Wendy: You'd better be careful.

    Eric: Of what?

    Wendy: I'm serious, Eric. You're not in Modesto anymore. I see the way you look at him.

    Eric: He's so beautiful. I can't help it. He's like a god.

    Wendy: You don't have to tell me, I was infatuated with him too once. But I know all Neil's secrets and there's shit there you don't even want to know about. Trust me. Once I'm gone, you'll be all Neil has and you have to understand one thing. Where normal people have a heart, Neil McCormick has a bottomless black hole. And if you don't watch out, you can fall in and get lost forever.
