DEXTER
They ended up giving me two pints of blood. I guess that'sa lot for a baby.
ERIK
My grandmother says you're going to hell. She says you'll suffer eternal torture from a billion flames hotter than the center of the sun.
DEXTER
Then she must be some kind of genius.
ERIK
What?
DEXTER
Well, my doctor is really smart. And he says he has no idea what happens to people after they die. If your grandmother knows, she must be a genius.
ERIK
She's a clerk at K-Mart.
DEXTER
Maybe she's just an under-achiever.
ERIK
No, she's an idiot.
DEXTER
So maybe I won't go to hell after all.
【16:10】
ERIK
Hey, what about your little brother, huh?
BOY #1
What about him?
ERIK
When he fell off the jungle gym at school. They had to take him to the hospital. He could have caught something then.
BOY #2
Yeah, but he didn't.
ERIK
But he could've. Then everybody'd be calling him faggot and queer! And he d get sick and die! And they'd write "homo" on his headstone! Then when your mother went to bring him flowers she'd see little "Eddie Horner Homo"! And you know what the worst part about it would be? Probably before he died a bunch of assholes like you who ain't sick thought it might be fun to just beat the shit out of him!
BOY #3
C'mon Allen, let s beat it.
BOY #1
Sorry your sick.
DEXTER
Thanks.
【23:45】
ERIK
Uh, are you gonna finish that?
DEXTER
Oh...um...
DEXTER'S MOTHER
Uh, well, the doctors say it's completely safe, Erik, but when it comes to other people's children, we've decided, um, not to take any chances.
ERIK
Forgot. I've got a plan. Just as soon as they find a cure, we re heading out to Baskin Robbins and order one of those monster sundaes where everybody just digs right in!
DEXTER'S MOTHER
That's a good plan. Excuse me.
ERIK
What is it?
DEXTER
She's afraid that they might not find a cure in time.
【27:18】
ERIK
Let's try Butterfinger combined with Bubblicious.
DEXTER
I'm not so sure I understand why you can try all of this stuff, too.
ERIK
Don't you know anything about scientific method?
DEXTER
A little.
ERIK
Well, you have to have a control group, so you can see if the results are uniform.
DEXTER
Are you the control group?
ERIK
Yep.
[29:23]
DEXTER
I'm wondering about something. Where do bugs go to the bathroom?
ERIK
It's not on leaves.
DEXTER
How can you be sure?
ERIK
Because bugs eat leaves. Not even bugs are stupid enough to shit on their own food. Well, what do you say?
【30:06】
DEXTER
Hmm...Oh...Tastes like crap!
ERIK
No shit. Don't you know where bugs go to the bathroom?
(Erik adds sugar to the medicine ).
DEXTER
Sweetened crap.
【43: 05]
DEXTER
(In a letter to his mother)
"Dear Mom, I've gone with Erik. But I've brought along my medicine so there's no reason to worry. We plan to be careful and sensible. Whatever you do, remember to tape Starwars, eight pm, channel five. I love you very much. Sincerely, Dexter."
[The part of two people riding down the water in a rowboat with tires is so beautiful><]
[53:26]
DEXTER
What's your name ?
ANGEL
Angel.
DEXTER
You misspelled your tattoo. It doesn't say Angel it says Angle.
ANGEL
Uh, I m aware of that now.
【57:06】
ERIK
Were you having a nightmare or something?
DEXTER
No.
ERIK
What's the matter?
DEXTER
It happens sometimes. When I wake up and it s dark. Astronomers believe that the universe is 18 billion light years across.
ERIK
So?
DEXTER
Suppose you kept going another 18 billion light years. What if there's nothing out there? Suppose you kept going another trillion times further. So far out you see nothing. Because the light from the universe would be fainter than the faintest star. Infinitely cold. Infinitely black. Sometimes, if I wake up, and it's dark, I get really scared. Like I'm out there. And I'm never coming back.
ERIK
Here
(gives Dexter his shoe)
Hold on to this while you sleep. And if you wake up and you're scared, you'll say, Wait a minute. I m holding Erik's shoe. Why the hell would I be holding some smelly basketball shoe a trillion light years from the universe? I must be here on earth safe in my sleeping bag, and Erik must be close by.
DEXTER
Guess it s worth a try.
【01:09:24】
ERIK
You cold?
( Checks to see if Dexter has a fever.
DEXTER
No.
ERIK
What's the matter?
DEXTER
My blood is poison.
ERIK
You have a virus, Dex. You're gonna be exactly like everyone else as long as someone finds the cure.
【 01:04:48]
ERIK
(Crying)
I was just talking to him and he stopped....he's dead.
NURSE #1
I'm sorry honey. I guess we all knew this was coming.
ERIK
No!
(Dexter wakes up and screams, scaring the nurses.)
NURSE #2
Not funny! Not even a little bit!
DEXTER
Guess we all knew this was coming.
[01:06:51]
ERIK
He knows he's dying.
DR. JENSEN
What?
ERIK
We tricked the nurses into thinking that he was dead and Nurse Murphy said that everyone knew it was coming.
DR. JENSEN
So you tricked 'em?
ERIK
Well, we pretended that Dexter stopped breathing and he jumped up and screamed and scared them.
DR. JENSEN
She must have hit the roof.
ERIK
Yeah! Dexter laughed his ass off!
DR. JENSEN
Well, that s what happened to it. I thought he was just on a diet here. Listen, history is full of very sick people who suddenly, for no reason at all, get better. And when it happens we call it a miracle. From the moment I met you I knew that you are special and that you might be one of those people. Yeah. You know I'm telling you the truth, don't you? You can feel that inside, can't you? Just don't let me down, okay? I m counting on you to make me famous!
【01:18:47】
(Dr. Jensen yells at the nurse.)
NURSE
Well the young boy was upset.
DR. JENSEN
Well don't you ever, ever, assume that one of my patients is going to die!
【01:26:31】
ERIK
I'm sorry, too. I should've tried harder.
DEXTER'S MOTHER
Tried what?
ERIK
To find the cure.
DEXTER'S MOTHER
Oh honey. Come here sweetie. You did. You did! Everything that was sad in Dexter's life...you made it go away. Dexter was so happy to have you as his friend. He was so happy.
【01:29:08】
DEXTER'S MOTHER
I want to tell you two things. The first is Erik's best friend died today and he is going to the funeral. And the second is if you ever lay a hand on that boy again I will kill you! Understand?
