My father always said to me that with good friends at your side, anything's possible.
S1 E15Unfinished Business
All of the tunnels go underground where none of the children will ever be found. They wandered away to join the show and lost their way in the world below. They swallowed the pills and they lost their fear. But nothing they hoped to find was here. They joined the circus and left their town. Now they live here down with the clown. Down with the clown, with the clown, down here with the clown, now they live down here with the clown!
Too bad. So sad. You couldn't save ol' Mattyboy. Tasty, tasty Mattyboy.
You wouldn't be doing any of this if you really remembered everything. What it's like to look it right in the eye. Feel its breath on your neck. You would pack up this entire operation and run.
My dad used to say, "In life, people are either anchors or lifeboats. They drag you under or they keep you afloat."
I think there's something wrong with this Coke.
[after giving her a rum and Coke] Well, nah, you got a... Air Force Coke!
It tastes kinda funny.
That's the taste of freedom, son.
Freedom tastes weird.
Saliva actually has antiseptic properties.
I don't think that's true.
Who knows? Science is constantly changing.
This thing I got, when I was little, let me see things.
Okay. What kind of things?
Dead ones.
Um, quick question. What if she says no?
Say a prayer she doesn't.
I don't know, man. Last time I said a prayer, my dead tío almost killed us.
Okay, well, um... no prayers then.
My father is dead.
Oh, you know what they say about Derry, dear. No one who dies here ever really dies.
[eating someone] What's the matter? Do I have face on my face?
Let me out!
Remember what you said? About knights? Knights. Who sleep with something by the bed?
Ye---Yeah.
[sacrificing himself, dying] Well, we don't just pee in pots. We also protect fair maidens. Remember the day, that day all the guinea pigs got loose in the hallway 'cause Robbie Mueller, he broke into the science lab? That was my first week of school, and everyone went out to see it. You came out of class with a yellow sweater and a gray skirt with a string tied to your finger.
You remember that?
You were so pretty. I remember wondering, "¿Quién es esa?" And you saw me staring and you said, "Take a picture, it'll last longer." You didn't say it mean or anything. I didn't even know what it meant. Later when I figured it out, I remember thinking what I should have said back. "I wish I could."
How are you holding up, Airman?
The fuck it look like?
This town is the monster!
Americans are at each other's throats, and it's only getting worse. Anti Nuke crazies, the women's movement, race riots. This country is slowly fracturing into a thousand jagged, ill-fitting pieces. I am only trying to prevent another civil war. Americans have stopped hearing one another. They only want to fight over who gets which piece of the damn pie while the rest of the world eats us alive. And the one thing that makes people really listen is fear.
