Penelope: [about the Ripper] Pray for our souls, Bug. He's coming.
Bug: Jesus?
-
The Ripper: Fear Ye, The Ripper!
-
Alex: No, it's not okay, what I did. It's not okay for everybody to be killing each other all the time.
-
Abel: [in The Ripper's voice] Abel's not here, anymore.
-
Abel: [as The Ripper, points a gun at a paramedic] This is for you, you cunt!
Paterson: [Patterson shoots Abel] That's for shut the fuck up.
-
Paterson: What did your grandmother say?
Jeanne-Baptiste: What?
Paterson: Did she tell you not to worry if somebody you thought was dead just might come back alive? If he was evil enough?
-
Fang: Wake up and smell the Starbucks.
-
Penelope: If things get too hot, just turn on the prayer conditioning.
-
Brandon: [on cell phone] Brittany, look, I know you're there. I can hear you walking. I understand that you don't want to talk. I probably disgust you. It's okay. I disgust myself sometimes. I know I'm a pig. I can't help it. No, pigs are nicer. Actually, I'm just what you said. I'm a fucking crotch dog. I'm sorry.
The Ripper: [the Ripper's voice appears on the other line] It's too late to be sorry.
Brandon: Who is this?
The Ripper: Someone from your past. You wouldn't remember.
Brandon: Put Brittany on, please.
The Ripper: She's not here.
Brandon: Well, where is she?
The Ripper: Where you're going to go.
Brandon: I'm gonna go to the church.
The Ripper: No, you're not.
Brandon: What do you mean, "No, I'm not?"
The Ripper: Think hotter.
Brandon: Miami?
The Ripper: Try hell!
[the Ripper appears behind him]
-
The Ripper: [the Ripper stabs Brandon in the stomach] Anybody you want to say goodbye to?
Brandon: My unborn child.
The Ripper: Fuck your fucking unborn child. Now where'd I leave your bitch?
-
Alex: [Bug stabs him, killing the Ripper personality] I thought that guy would never leave.
Bug: Alex?
Alex: Where's the biggest knife in the kitchen?
Bug: Where it needs to be.
[pulls the knife out]
-
Alex: Condor?
Bug: Crow.
Alex: It's all right, Bug. Feels great.
Bug: Feels fucking great.
Alex: Fucking great.
[dies]
Bug: Fly now. I know you're up there, and I know we're down here.
-
Bug: I am the condor. The Keeper of the Souls. I eat death for breakfast. I live in a house of blood and I accept that. That's all a man can do. I was ready to be arrested that night. I wasn't ready for what happened instead. Leah had told them everything and I was celebrated as a hero. Alex Dunkelman killed his stepfather, a cop, a mother, and five of the Riverton Seven. And I alone had stopped him from killing more. I didn't feel like a hero at all. But if it makes Riverton feel safe at night, I'll fake that I'm their hero. And I'll fake it good. Alex wouldn't have it any other way.
-
Bug: Just because you were out there doesn't mean you were spying.
Alex: I was spying.
-
Alex: The fish stinks from the head.
-
Bug: I'm scared.
Alex: We're sixteen, Bug. Like it or not, we're men now.
Bug: I don't feel like a man!
Alex: No one does, that's why you gotta fake it.
Bug: Fake being a man to be a man?
Alex: That's the way it works. You can't run, you have to face your fear like a man.
Bug: Even though I'm not a man?
Alex: Because you're not a man. Listen, the better you fake it, the better man you are.
Bug: Just fake it.
Alex: Fake it good. Like if you're scared, act like you don't give a shit, or if somebody hurts you, say, "Thank you very much, that felt wonderful."
Bug: [practicing] Thanks, Brandon, that-I can't raise my arm, feels good.
Alex: Yeah, there you go.
Bug: Is that all you got, Brandon? I mean... I feel downright... cheated!
Alex: I'm amazed that you're getting this so quick, it's tricky stuff.
Bug: I was faking what I did.
Alex: You were?
Bug: [nods] Completely.
Alex: Yeah, but you were faking it good.
Bug: I was?
Alex: Abso-fuckin'-lutely. You now have permission to shave.
-
Penelope: What men will do to you in prison is nothing compared to what demons will do to you in hell, on beds of fire, for all eternity.
Brandon: I'm gonna get you for this, Penelope.
-
Alex: [Brandon has punched him] Thanks, Brandon. That felt good.
Brandon: Asswipe.
Alex: Not as good as your mother felt last night, though.
-
Fang: Happy birthday, insect.
-
Alex: [regarding a large bag] What the fuck is that?
Bug: Sock puppet.
Alex: On steroids?
-
Brittany: How 'bout I have my dog bite it off and bury it in my backyard?
Brandon: How big is your backyard?
-
Bug: That puppet was scary.
-
Bug: Now we're all gonna die and it's my fault.
-
Brandon: Bug takes a little longer 'cause he's a little slower.
-
Fang: Brandon would enjoy Hell.
-
Alex: They will come for you with torches.
-
Alex: [after being pressured by Alex to swear, Bug says "fuck" nearly every line] Enough with the fucks!
Bug: You say fuck.
-
Alex: Say, "Thanks, Fang, that felt great."
Bug: I'd be lying.
Alex: That's the point.
Bug: Thanks, Fang, that felt great.
Alex: That felt *fucking* great!
Bug: That's a bad word.
Alex: You bet. Makes things good.
Bug: Everything's backwards with you.
-
Bug: Do you think I'm a monkey, Alex?
Alex: Have you killed people, Bug?
Bug: Not that I can remember.
Alex: Well I can't remember buying you bananas, either.
-
May: Just because Leah says mean things doesn't make them so.
Bug: What if they are so?
-
Bug: I know you're not my mother.
May: Bug, I'm so sorry, I never meant...
Bug: I hope you know something, too.
May: What?
Bug: That you are my mom. That one you're stuck with, like it or not.
-
Bug: I wished I could take back what I did today, and make you proud of me.
-
Penelope: Please remember, You put the apple and the snake in one small garden.
-
Alex: [to Bug] If you're not innocent any more, that's okay.
-
Alex: You're a condor. You eat death for breakfast. Remember that.
-
Penelope: We're all doomed, Bug. It's the human condition.
-
Fang: Take a look in the mirror Bug
-
Fang: Do you know who your daddy was?
Bug: May told me that he loved us very much.
Fang: Yes, but who was he?
Bug: I don't know. He died in a car accident
Fang: On the way to the hospital while she was giving birth to you.
[sarcastically]
Fang: What a sad and lovely story. Do you ever wonder why May doesn't talk about him or why there are no single fucking pictures of him in this house?
-
Bug: Well, maybe it was just too painful .
