- Morning Guard: Good morning. It''s a beautiful day outside.
- Dwight Stroud: Every day outside is beautiful.
- Dwight Stroud: I was struck on the head. I don't remember anything that happened that night.
- Dr. Shaker: So how do you know you were struck on the head? Then how do you know you don't deserve to be here?
- Dr. Shaker: You pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. The jury decided in your favor.
- Dwight Stroud: Some favor. I'm not guilty by reason of innocence.
- Dwight Stroud: It's this place. I see things here that are insane. I try to ignore it as much as possible, just to go on living, but every day it gets worse, not better.
- Dr. Shaker: Is what you see real?
- Dwight Stroud: No. Couldn't be.
- Dr. Shaker: Why is that?
- Dwight Stroud: Cuz if it was real, it'd be crazy.
- Van Gogh: Look Dwight, you and I are the same. Much of what we see is a cause rather than an effect of our illness. That's why I took out my left eye. I didn't like what it made me see, and it was makin' me worse.
- Dwight Stroud: I see so much stuff that can't be that... I guess I assume everything I see is just a delusion.
- Detective Rick Kesler: My mom used to say that pain is one way we know we're alive.
- Dwight Stroud: Yeah, you must have had a great childhood.
