Aubrey Joseph Quotes
Tyrone: Is this a normal thing for you?
Tandy: What?
Tyrone: Sneaking into a hospital with someone in a coma.
Tandy: Not a coma, catatonic. Eight years ago they pulled a dozen bodies off the rig that exploded. Only one of them is still alive.
Tyrone: Eight years ago as in?
Tandy: The night my father crashed off the bridge.
Tyrone: That explosion on the rig is what made Connors pulled the trigger.
Tandy: It also put the vacant sign on Dr. Hess here.
[She waves in front of Ivan’s face]
Tandy: See...
Tyrone: You are into some messed up s***.
Tyrone: Tandy? Tandy... Tandy, where are we?
Tandy: I don’t know. Ty. What’s wrong with that guy?
Tyrone: Don’t worry, he can’t see or hear us.
Tandy: Ty!
[The man swings a wrench and Tandy stabs him with the dagger]
Tandy: That guy just tried to kill us!
Tyrone: So, clearly he saw us. The rules here must be different.
Tandy: What the hell is going on?!
Tyrone: The worst that could happen.
[Another crazed individual walks by]
Tyrone: We have to get out of here!
Tyrone: You’re gonna do your hope thing on her?
Tandy: Use what you got, right? You can too.
Tyrone: I can what?
Tandy: Use people’s nightmares against them. Maybe you can get some leverage on this kid with the gun? Steal his job.
Tyrone: I guess we’re both out for different lives.
Tandy: The further adventures of the scientist and the criminal. [Mouth pop]
Evita: You are so dense.
Tyrone: What are you talking about?
Evita: I know.
Tyrone: You know what?
Evita: What you did... with that ref... and the other team. I told you. I paid attention.
[She opens up her jacket to reveal a bra]
Evita: I know who you are.
[They kiss]
Tyrone: What are you doing at a Roxxon event?
Tandy: Digging. Trying to find the mystery man at the center of everything.
Tyrone: When you say “dig,” do you mean root around in people’s heads?
Tandy: Why do you care?
Tyrone: I’m here because of you. You’ve been experimenting. Alright, with your hope-y touchy thing.
Tandy: Why? Why does that matter?!
Tyrone: It matters because you checked too many books out of the library. You and I are connected, and because you’re using your s***, mine has been going haywire all night and it’s your fault.
Tyrone: You didn’t have to do all this.
Tandy: I can’t take the credit.
[Tyrone is startled]
Tyrone: What the hell are you doing here? The last I saw you, you were calling me a “choir boy.”
Tandy: Yeah, well, the last time I saw you, you were storming out my church like one. Sorry I got my harsh on.
Tyrone: Seriously, what are you doing here?
Tandy: I come bearing good news.
Tyrone: What’s that?
Tandy: I did it. I controlled it. I made it happen. Check it.
[The white blade appears in her hand]
Tyrone: Can you not?! Not here.
Tandy: What... but here is interesting. Tyrone Johnson in his natural habitat. Hey, I don’t know if Betty or Veronica decorated your locker, but she’s in it to win it!
Tandy: My opinion and my experience: It’s dangerous to get close to anyone. But with you, I’m conclusively right. When we touch, s*** goes boom.
[Tandy starts moving forward]
Tandy: So, the first question is: How close can we get to each other without triggering our crazy?
Tyrone: And how are you gonna do that?
Tandy: Close your eyes. Don’t move. And no cheating.
[They reach for each other, hands glowing. They touch and go flying across the room]
Tyrone: That was…
Tandy: WHAT?!
Tyrone: That was… nice, at first.
Tandy: I don’t know what you gotta be so afraid of. You seem strong, wily, and honest. Maybe that’s what’s wrong with you? You’re probably too honest.
Tyrone: Is there such a thing?
Tandy: There is! But, it hangs off your shoulders nicely.
Tyrone: I don’t think you live here by accident.
Tandy: What do you mean?
Tyrone: I think you believe in hope.
Tandy: What?
Tyrone: Yeah, you should. I think you should. You’re smart, and you know how to live in this world. You know, it’s not nothing. And it’s not ironic. You and hope.
[She laughs]
Tandy: What are we gonna do, Tyrone Johnson?
Tyrone: I don’t know, Tandy Bowen. The universe keeps pushing us together.
Tandy: The universe keeps pulling us apart. Anyway, it’s nice to have someone to talk to.
Otis: Each bead has its place, part of a larger design. And you gotta pay attention because if you mess up, and you don’t notice till later, you gotta undo hours… days… even months of work. It’s no joke. It takes years to master the art of beadwork, and each year you gotta remaster it again.
Tyrone: You gotta make a new one every year?
Otis: Now every year you’re a new person, Son. So, we spend that time working on a new suit. Some give up and never finish. There’s a room over there full of failure stories; it would drive a man crazy. But not the man with patience, diligence, and grace. Control of your actions, Son. If you can’t control yourself, then you can’t control a damn thing in this world. This regalia… it helps us find that control and with it comes the strength we need.
[Tyrone search through the room and finds a black cloak]
So, um, I’m not sure if you can hear me. I could just be talking to nothing. What’s happening to me? Are you doing this? Because... I don’t understand and I can’t control it. I can’t control myself. You always had the answers. You knew what to do. What should I do? Tell me and I’ll do it. I miss you so much. I’m trying to be like you but... I’m failing and... I’m flailing. I’m cursed.
Tyrone
Voodoo Priestess: I don’t know about this one, Evita.
Evita: Why not?
Voodoo Priestess: He doesn’t think he deserves help.
Tyrone: What?! That’s...
[She speaks French and does a card reading]
Voodoo Priestess: The Joker. Both a hopes and the fears position.
Tyrone: So which one is it: hopes or fears?
Voodoo Priestess: Some would say they’re the same.
Tyrone: What does that mean?
Voodoo Priestess: You need a bath.
Tyrone: What did she say?!
[Evita laughs]
Tandy: Are you trying to kill me?
Tyrone: No! Why would you ask that?!
Tandy: Because you have a gun in your hand.
[Awkward silence]
Tandy: Wait, you’re that kid...from the party. The graveyard. The beach. You shot at me!
Tyrone: That wasn’t meant for you.
Tandy: Then who was it meant for?!
