Harlan Coben's Shelter
Fridays on Prime VideoArthur "Spoon" Spindell Quotes
Ema: So I guess we all just go home now.
Spoon: Yeah. Home.
Spoon: Why did we save Ashley but not Candy?
Rachel: I'm sorry.
Spoon: No, no, it's okay, I'm just asking.
Ema: Spoon, how are you doing with the Candy thing?
Spoon: Um, I don't know. She was really sweet, and she was really kind. She had a mom, and I can't even tell her mom what happened. Like, I can't tell anyone what happened. Nobody knows, and nobody cares, and nothing has changed. I don't; how can nothing have changed? But she saved my life, and she deserved her own, and she doesn't even get it, and I don't even know what happened to her body. What if I left her too early, and the tide took her away? What if she's floating, and she's lonely, and she saved my life, and I'm happy it wasn't me? I'm happy I didn't die. I am. I'm fucking happy.
Ema: I just can't believe you put a stalker app on our phones without telling us.
Spoon: No, they're not stalker apps. They're bestie apps, and sometimes you need to stalk your besties across state lines.
Ema: Aren't you against invasion of privacy?
Spoon: Yeah, I am, or I was, or I'm inconsistent. Maybe I just love too much, okay?
Ema: The old fuck nearly got Mickey killed.
Spoon: I'm not even going to call out your ageism, eff that, B.
Ema: I feel really stupid. I don't know why I trusted her.
Spoon: Ema, I'm actually really proud of you.
Ema: Why?
Spoon: Well, I didn't know you too well before this, but what happened feels like something the old Ema wouldn't have done, taking a risk and putting yourself out there.
Mickey: Sup, Mayweather.
Spoon: Oh, you heard about that? I guess you can say I gave Buck a spoonful.
Spoon: We're your friends. We wouldn't think that about you.
Ema: Well, obviously, I'm not so great at being the whole friends thing.
Mickey: Except you kinda are.
Agent: I sense a darkness in you, Spoon.
Spoon: Oh, yeah, sorry, that's gas. I have a funny tummy.
Agent: You joke to cover.
Spoon: Cover what?
Agent: The loss. You know loss. I'm afraid you're going to have to experience more of it.
Mickey: I don't want to even go see his grave. I haven't visited since we buried him. I'm too scared to.
Spoon: Well then, I'll go with you.
Mickey: No, it's fine.
Spoon: Look, Micholas, you can lean on me. You have people.
Mickey: Thanks, Spoon.
Ema, I love you, okay? I would kill for you, and I would fucking die for you.
Mickey: So you both think I'm crazy.
Both: No.
Ema: That's not what we're saying at all.
Mickey: It sure sounds like it.
Ema: Yeah, we're the bad guys, Mickey, not the Bat Lady who thinks she's Terminator Anne Frank. She's done nothing but fuck with you.
