I think you let Nick die because you didn't like that he had a hold on you. But he still does, doesn't he?
Ambrose
So I don't get to have a moment because I'm white?
Jamie
We are living on a giant rock. We are flying through space, and no one knows anything. School makes you think they have the answers, but they don't. No one does.
Jamie
Jamie: You just won't leave me alone, will you?
Ambrose: I can't seem to.
I'm a high school teacher living in the goddamned suburbs. I'm not driving around in the middle of the night digging graves for painters I don't know. What is it with you? You keep showing up at my house, pretending we're friends, and now you're harassing me? If you have evidence to incriminate me, haul me in. Otherwise, I'm going back inside to my wife.
Jamie
Strange, isn't it? That some letter should determine your fate.
Jamie
Nick: Why shouldn't we try it again? You want to wake yourself up, you said so yourself.
Jamie: That stuff is crazy. It's too intense.
Nick: Then why the fuck am I here? You called me. You knew what I'd say.
Nick: Hey. This isn't really a good time.
Ambrose: You want to tell me why you dug a grave on Sonya Barzell's property?
Move on? Why does everybody say that? It's like the only thing that matters is getting over things as fast as you can. I mean, death isn't going away. If anything, it's getting closer. And everyone I know is terrified, but no one wants to talk about it. We just hide it away in hospitals and old age homes. And we don't even kill our own food, we just get our meat shrinkwrapped into these patties. It just feels like a lie.
Jamie
Jamie: Have you ever had a person in your life that was totally exciting but you knew they were bad for you? When you're around them, you feel more yourself, or the opposite of yourself. I mean, Nick scared me. It was a relief to get away from him. And without him things just feel ... I don't know how to explain.
Ambrose: Hollow. My mother was bipolar, and it was kind of like that.
Phones, emails. That's no way to communicate. But when someone reaches out after... 18 years? After totally cutting you out? You want to look them in the eye when they try to explain themselves.
Nick
Ambrose: So, this is all you saw?
Sonya: All I saw? It's a grave.
