You can come back as many times as you want, Harper. I'll always know! Because I know you. You watched me? I watched you! You weren't much back then. Now, all of this? It makes you look even smaller.

Dan: When things change for you, do you recognize it?
Kirby: Sometimes. Other times they're just random.
Dan: Maybe they're what's to come.

Kirby: No. He's been watching me for a lot longer than that. Since when I was a kid
Dan: Like you guys, you guys grew up together?
Kirby: No. He has just always been there. I remembered him from when Rachel and I were living at one of her fuckin' boyfriend's places. He came up to me. I was on my own, and he was the same as last night. Exactly the same.
