Young man knows more than he lets on. What else do you know, Jared?
JTJared Talbot
I don't know.
You don't know what else you know?
JTJared Talbot
No.
It's a family disease. How did Gaines die?
Regret or cancer. I forget.

[finding him in the garage] Hard to believe we used to park cars in here.
Yes, we are what we don't throw away.
You won't ever speak to him again the way you spoke to him this morning. I won't allow it.
TTTed Talbot Sr.
You won't allow it?
He won't be treated like that in his own home.
TTTed Talbot Sr.
Which is my home, too.
It was his first.

"Occupy Movement," pinpoint its failure.
Occupy what?
LLionel
Exactly. All I know is revolution ain't never been fomented by poor people sitting on their ass in tents.
Uh, the Russian Revolution was started by peasants.
LLionel
Peasants, huh?
I don't know if they lived in tents, though.
LLionel
Tolstoy here talking about the Russian revolution like he was there.
Look, any man reads a newspaper knows Dan with a "D" Holden's overdue a little excess - a little indulgence of the senses. Some late-night, low-light intermingling and inter-tangling.
I hope you're suggesting girls.
Half of which at this party want to sleep with you. The other half are afraid of you, and half of them still want to sleep with you. It ain't even about luck at this point.
And that's how you reach enlightenment?
Who gives a shit? Come on, buddy. It's time to join the human race in all its permutations.

[to Amantha] First your brother shows up at Mr. Gaines' funeral rambling about God knows what, and now here you are acting like... I know you have to live your life. I understand that. I know it's not your fault, the position you're in. But could you go do it somewhere else, please? So that we don't have to think about Hanna and what happened to her that night?
How old were you then? Five? Eight?
Jon, please.
No. Really.
DDarla
I was old enough.
Old enough? For what? To listen to what your parents told you and believe it because they said it was true? Afraid to think for yourself. Scared to look at all the facts. And for what? So you'd never have to admit to yourself that you might be wrong? Could you go do that somewhere else? Please.
I don't know what to do.
That's 'cause you're stuck, Daniel. Surprised you ain't dead.
You're full of shit, Lezley.
At least I'm okay with it. You okay with what you are?
[eulogizing Rutherford] Occasionally I would see Mr. Gaines away from the crowd. Catch his eye and understand just how difficult it is for two people to come together in the face of such intoxicating lunacy.
I believe forces brought you out to my establishment in search of a stove for your mama's birthday. Same forces will tell you where to go next if you listen.
Sometimes it's hard to hear.
Yeah. Well, we usually hear better when we're in pain. But, damn, if you ain't got a high threshold. See you around the fringes, buddy...

[Daniel dreaming] I remember when I was a little girl, my dad took me to the circus, the greatest show on earth. There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears, and a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads. And as I sat there watching, I had the feeling that something was missing. I don't know what, but when it was all over, I said to myself, "Is that all there is to the circus?"
[suddenly alongside Daniel] Uh-oh, here comes trouble.
WSWoman's Voice
I know what you must be saying to yourselves, "If that's the way she feels about it, why doesn't she just end it all?" Oh, no.
Cat's got his tongue.
WSWoman's Voice
I'm not ready yet for that final disappointment. For I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you, when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath, I'll be saying to myself, "Is that all? Is that all there is to dying?"
Everything that is good between men and women was written in mud. And butter. And barbecue sauce. You know?
No.
[to Daniel] You are who you are. Okay? It's forever. It's like being an Indian or something. I know you. Now you know you. If you ever really forgot.
S2 E8The Great Destroyer
I can't remember the last time I used a pay phone. The last time I saw one, even.
They're hard to find. But it felt good to use a telephone that wasn't smarter than me.
You're afraid, Wendall.
WJWendall Jelks
Shit, boy. I ain't scared of nothing.
I've never realized it 'til just now.
WJWendall Jelks
What am I afraid of?
Silence.
WJWendall Jelks
Just 'cause a man likes to talk don't mean he's afraid.
Ah, there's more than one kind of silence. In the real world you can live in denial, but not in here, not with your death on the docket. How long you got left, Wendall? I bet you already know. I bet you're counting the days. And I bet you're terrified.
WJWendall Jelks
Do you think you're above it, Holden? Hmm? We ain't that different, you and me, two sides of the same coin.
We're not even the same currency.
