I will always love Alaska Young, my crooked neighbor, with all my crooked heart.

Pudge

And then Alaska had to go. Because I screwed up and the Colonel screwed up, and we let her go, and she slipped through our fingers. We will always live with things done and things left undone that day. If only we could see the endless string of consequences that result from our smallest actions, but we can't know better until knowing better is useless.

Pudge

My goodness. Subverting the patriarchal paradigm? It's like she wrote that speech herself.

The Eagle

If people were rain, I was drizzle, and she, she was a hurricane.

Pudge

This mystery can't be solved. We have to live with that for the rest of our lives.

Takumi

Pudge: She must have been wasted. Why did we believe her when she said she wasn't?
Takumi: Because we never knew if she was drunk or not. If she was happy or not, and we always did what she wanted.

There are answers to every mystery, just gotta know where to look.

Colonel

If she loved you so much, why'd she leave that night? And if you loved her so much, why'd you let her go? I was drunk, what's your excuse?

Colonel

Pudge: This unbearable.
Colonel: I know, but we have to.

Colonel. You broke her. Hey, you broke her. If you were ever there for her, none of this would've happened. She wouldn't have been so sad. She wouldn't have drank so much. She would have had a car with fucking airbags. It should have been you. It shouldn't have been her. It should have been fucking you.

Pudge: I love you.
Colonel: I know you did.
Pudge: No, not past tense. I love you, and I'm so sorry for letting you go. I'm so sorry.

I thought I'd feel her looking down on us, but she's just gone. I'm sorry, Alaska. You deserved a better friend.
