- Lee: [talking about his mother] She not coming back, is she?
- John: I don't know. When I was your age I used to play a game called "Life is not fair". You know why they call that? Cause life is not fair. It sucks. But you gotta play. I don't know... maybe she wants to come back. But she can't.
- Lee: Maybe she's dead.
- John: What d'you say?
- Lee: I hope she is.
- Ray: Some people do know what they want. Some people don't. As soon as you *do* know what you want, you can start making some decisions.
- John: [observing people] They think all this is permanent. They don't realize the house of cards they're living in. All of them. All it would take is a little push. A few bodies. Well, more than a few bodies. Maybe five, six a day - for 30 days. Random targets. No, not random targets. When they think it's men, kill a woman. When they think it's women, kill a kid. Think it's kids, kill a pregnant woman, a grandma, a cop. At the cop's funeral, plant a bomb. Lots of bombs. Blow up a whole bus full of cops. They'd have to call in the national guard then. Total chaos. The system comes down.
- John: I used to live here. People used to live here. Real people, I thought. Everybody turned into ghosts. It was like I didn't exist anymore. Well, not everybody. Some of them turned out to be vampires. Suck me dry. People I would've never expected. My wife. Just one day I woke up, and I don't know how I didn't see it before. It's evil. Real evil. There are some evil... people in this world.

- Case Worker: There's gotta be meaning. There's gotta be a reason. Was it for money?
- Lee: [No]
- Case Worker: Was it for revenge?
- Lee: [No]
- Case Worker: Was it some kind of belief?
- Lee: [just looks down]
- Case Worker: If you're not going to answer me, how can I...
- Lee: Since you're asking so many questions, can I ask you a question now?
- Case Worker: Sure, ask me anything you want.
- Lee: Where's my father?
