How is he?
Not good. Thanks for asking...
Is there anything I can do?
You wouldn't be a brain surgeon by any chance?

SRSenator Roland Foulkes
Ah, that's what makes life so interesting and confounding.
SCSheriff Carl Daggett
What's that?
SRSenator Roland Foulkes
Variables, Sheriff. Variables.
You can come here anytime you want?
In theory, yeah.
All I'm sayin'. [indicating the beauty surrounding]
Yeah.
All I'm sayin', D. [walking into the woods] All I'm sayin'. All I'm sayin'...

[reading from pamphlet] Proper prisoner behavior consists fundamentally of the following: freedom from self-injury, absence of unhygienic acts, significant decrease in problematic behaviors, motivation to change, absence of destructive behaviors.
[in hospital] Everybody's been so nice here.
It's because we're not in Paulie, mother. You'll notice a difference in tone sometimes when people don't wish you were dead.
S2 E3Charlie Darwin
You do windows now?
Side effect of the coma.
Doctor didn't mention that as a possibility.
[grunts] It's rare.
Sorry everything's cold, it takes a while to get it through all of the protocol.
HHollis
Strip-searched my hash browns, huh? Bunch of animals.
[sitting in the car] It's mostly buttons and knobs now, there's no... everything's rounder.
Hmm. I never really thought about it before, but I think you're right.
More curves, less angles.
SCSheriff Carl Daggett
[about Daniel] That boy sees a pile of shit on the ground, he's gonna make every damn effort to step in it!
[voice breaking] I thought we were gonna lose you.
No crying, sister.
Sorry.
Emotion is for losers.

[joining him in front of a painting] What do you think?
What do I think? Well, I think I have looked at this painting for so long in a in a book that somehow my brain has trivialized it. And, uh, now as I stand here in front of the real thing, I feel, if anything, disappointment.
PPeggy
Oh, that's too bad.
Well, not at the painting itself. More at my brain, I guess.
PPeggy
I think the brain's afraid of being in a state of constant wonder. It's for safety reasons or something.
I suppose it's inevitable.
PPeggy
Usually by the time we're four.
Then there's the the issue of great expectations.
PPeggy
Something the brain doesn't seem the least bit interested in protecting us from.
[chuckles] No.
PPeggy
Well, I think we should reinstate wonder, banish expectation.
I concur.

Why does everything got to be so goddamn polite in this relationship?
Do you want me to start talking like you, Teddy? That make you happy?
Mrs. Whitman?
WMrs. Whitman
Yes, Daniel.
Thank you for, um well, for Kerwin. He was a good person, and he was my friend. I miss him every day.
FFlorine
Donald, are you in A.A.?
Uh, no.
FFlorine
Well, thank God. We've lost so many to them.
FFlorine
Why on earth would you memorize Tobias Wolff's "Bullet in the Brain"?
PPeggy
It's a short story, Florine.
FFlorine
I don't care if it was a haiku. It was sad enough to read. It'd be torture to memorize.
No, it was it was calming, actually.
FFlorine
Okay. More please.
I don't know why, exactly. Well, it was it was during a period of my life where I was having some difficulties dealing with the passage of time, in a traditional sense. And since Mr. Wolff's short story deals partly with the bending of time, well, in memorizing it, or in taking the action of memorizing it, I too was able to bend time, in a way. Or at least... experience... it differently.
PPeggy
Nicely defended, Donald.
