- Caroline: I am going to fall in love with you. You don't have to love me back. I am going to give you my heart.
- Caroline: He was like an angel, you know? I never knew life could be like that. He was the one thing I followed through in my life, the one thing I didn't give up on. I was good at loving him.
- Adam: I follow you home...
- Caroline: You follow me home?
- Adam: I wasn't finished.
- Caroline: Finish.
- Adam: I follow you home to make sure you're... safe.
- Caroline: Well I never see you.
- Adam: I stay pretty far behind. I'm sorry.
- Caroline: Well, I mean, don't be sorry... I just...
- Adam: I wasn't finished.
- Caroline: Finish.
- Adam: I am sorry I was late that night.
- [about her dad]
- Caroline: First guy to walk out of my life, definetly not the last. Funny things, you and me. You always stayin' away from love, me always chasin' after it.
- [During her beauty exam]
- Caroline: Lady, I'm not butchering your hair! It's a free haircut so stop your bitching before I cut it all off, you fat cow!
- Caroline: Don't let people stand in your way. They're just people. like you and me! Well, maybe not like you. I don't know if I have ever met anyone like you before.
- Cindy: It's not right to feel shitty this time of year, but everybody does. It's like this is life and once you go through it long enough you realize what the flavor is. And it sure ain't vanilla!
- Caroline: Adam! It's Caroline. I brought you some cookies. I made them. Did you have a nice Christmas yesterday? Can I come in?
- Caroline: Great weather. What do you think?
- Adam: Would you like some ice cream?
- Caroline: Big on the ice cream, aren't you? No, thanks. Well, I guess the cookies are a little on the sugary side.
- Caroline: So, you were all alone for Christmas. I should have stopped over yesterday. I should have invited you over. But... I guess you were already there. Thank you for the tree. It's so beautiful. It really made my day that you remembered.
- Caroline: Did I come at a bad time? Do you want me to go?
- Adam: No.
- Caroline: OK, then I'll stay. I'm not even gonna ask how you got into our house.
- Adam: Do you like music, Caroline?
- Caroline: Mm-hm. I never heard you say my name before. It sounded nice.
- Adam: Would you like to see my records, Caroline? Caroline?
- Caroline: Sure.
- Caroline: Wow. They look really old.
- Adam: They're magic.
- Caroline: They're not magic! What kind of magic do they do?
- Adam: In the orphanage Mother Camilla used to play them for me. I used to sit in the sunlight near the window in her office, and I'd fall asleep to them. She gave them to me when I left. Whenever my life doesn't agree with me, I lie down and I play these records and... the rain stops falling.
- Adam: Would you like to hear one?
- Caroline: Mm-hm. You must have loved her a lot... Mother Camilla.
- Adam: She... She's the one who told me about my heart.
- Caroline: What about your heart?
- Adam: I was... I was a very sick baby. My heart was very weak. My mother, she died when I was born. She died in the jungle, where she and my father were living.
- Caroline: In the jungle?
- Adam: My father was a great adventurer. One day the great king of the silver baboons came down from his peak high on the mountaintops of Kilimanjaro and caught my father stealing his treasure from a deep, dark cave at the very bottom, where magic rubies trickled down from the top of the mountain. After a terrible battle with the baboon king, my father was wounded and left to die. When the great king later learned that my father needed the enchanted rubies to heal his son with the dying heart, he was so overwhelmed with guilt and shame at what he had done that he took his own beating heart right from his mighty baboon chest and placed it in mine.
- Caroline: Mother Camilla told you all this? You believe her? And you tell this to people? Oh, no. It's a nice story.
- Adam: It's stopped raining.
- Caroline: Magic records and a baboon heart. You almost got me believin' in it.
- Cindy: Look at him! He looks like a tumor sittin' over there. Ugh, and his hair! It just bothers me so much!
- Adam: Come on, I wanna show you something.
- Caroline: All right.
- Caroline: What's this?
- Adam: It's OK. This is where I live.
- Caroline: Oh.
- Caroline: Ooh!
- Adam: This is my dog.
- Caroline: Hi. Hi. Good dog. What's her name?
- Adam: I don't know. He never told me.
- Caroline: I don't mean to be rude to you in your own place or anything, but you are a little strange sometimes.
- Adam: Would you like some ice cream?
- Mother Camilla: One day the great king of the silver baboons came down from a peak high on a mountaintop on Kilimanjaro and caught your father stealing his treasure from a deep, dark cave from which enchanted rubies spilled out down the mountainside. After a great battle with the baboon king, your father was very badly wounded and left to die. But when the baboon king found out that your father wanted the enchanted rubies to cure his son...
- Orphan Boy: Sister! Adam's not breathing!
- Mother Camilla: ...he took his own heart...
- Nun: Children, children, move to the side. Adam! Adam!
- Orphan Boy: Is he dead?
- Mother Camilla: Did he hurt his head?
- Nun: I don't know. They just said he wasn't breathing.
- Mother Camilla: Well, he's breathing now. Call Sister Catherine.
- Nun: I will.
- Mother Camilla: Adam. Adam.
- Mother Camilla: Adam. Don't give up on us. Don't you give up, child. Don't you break our hearts. Oh, Adam. I've tried so hard with you. That poor little heart of yours. I don't know what else to do.
- Mother Camilla: Oh, Adam.
