There was a game we played when we were children on a sand pit on one of the back roads. Well, a lot of the other kids played, but I just watched. I was too afraid. They jumped from the top of the pit and rolled over and over, laughing their heads off. I never could get my legs to do it, though. To jump. Everyone kept calling me a pansy, and I kept going back to prove myself, but I never did it. I wonder if just once, I could could have convinced myself to do it, that I wouldn't have ended up here. Well, fuck all those bullying assholes, and fuck me for letting myself turn into something even worse. I apologize for the destructive things I've done, but I do not deny that I did them of my own free will. The Dark Man is real. I let myself be misled. I sign this, my final word, by a name given to me in Boulder. I couldn't accept it then, but I take it now freely. Hawk.

So, when do we get to meet the man upstairs?

Dayna

Mother Abigail: You know, I've noticed how well you and Joe get along. You're not blood. You take really nice care of the boy.
Nadine: It's not like I had a choice.
Mother Abigail: No, you had a choice. You had a choice. You chose to keep him safe. You had a choice, and you chose to keep him comfortable. We all have choice until we don't.

Frannie: People are really afraid, baby. They need to be reassured.
Stu: What's so reassuring about me?
Frannie: Plus, people love an accent.

I know it must be very frustrating to wait for his will to tell us what to do, especially since I can't tell you what his will is, which is why I insist that we take no action. There's just too many unknowns out there. Do you understand?
