This is my life, Dad. This is it. I've spent 26 years waiting for something else to start. So, no, I don't think it's too much to take on, because it's everything there is. I see now it's all of it. You and I are gonna be okay. You know that, right? We may not be as happy as you always dreamed we would be, but for the first time let's just allow ourselves to be whatever it is we are, and that will be better, okay? I think that will be better.
Andrew Largeman (Large) You know, this necklace makes me think of this totally random memory of my mother. I was a little kid, and I was crying for whatever reason, and she was cradling me, rocking me back and forth, and I can just remember the silver balls floating around. And there was, like, snot running down my nose, right?. And she offered me her sleeve - and told me to blow my nose into it. And I can remember, even as a little kid, thinking to myself: This is love...this is love.
Andrew Largeman (Large) I don't want to waste another moment of my life without you in it.
Andrew Largeman (Large) It's amazing how much of my life has been determined by a quarter inch piece of plastic.
Andrew Largeman (Large) My mom just died. God, it's weird to say it out loud. But, my mom just died.
Andrew Largeman (Large) You changed my life. You changed my life, and I've known you four days. This is the beginning of something really big, but right now, I gotta go.

Andrew Largeman (Large) You know that point in your life when you realize that the house you grew up in isn't really your home anymore...all of the sudden even though you have some place to put your shit, that idea of home is gone...or maybe it's like this rite of passage...you will never have that feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, for your kids, for the family you start. It's like a cycle or something. Maybe that's all family really is: a group of people that miss the same imaginary place.
Andrew Largeman (Large) I was nine, and someone made a shitty latch.
Oh, guys, don't stay in here all day. I had to take the batteries out of the carbon monoxide detector. It was beeping all night.
Dr. Cohen You know, our bodies are capable of doing some very funny things when they're consumed by stress and anxiety. I found my ex-best friend's cufflinks in my wife's purse. I couldn't get an erection for a year and a half...for example.
Tim By the way, it says "Balls" on your face.
Andrew Asshole.
My mom did it.
Jesse Dude, maybe you should stay over by the steps. I don't know CPR.

Diego Who just saw some titties?
Diego Ok. Now everybody calm the **** down!
Andrew Largeman ****, this hurts so much.

Andrew Largeman You know that point in your life when you realize that the house that you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of the sudden even though you have some place where you can put your shit that idea of home is gone.
I still feel at home in my house.
Andrew Largeman You'll see when you move out. It just sort of happens one day, one day and it's just gone. And you can never get it back. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist. I don't know maybe it's like this right of passage, you know. You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for you kids, for the family you start. It's like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place.
Andrew Largeman Good luck exploring the infinite abyss.
Albert Thanks...Hey, you too.
Well, don't try anything funny, 'cause my uncle's a bounty hunter and he can have you tracked and killed.
Andrew Largeman You're such a liar.
I'll have a Ketel Cosmo, with Red Bull, and some bread, ASAP.
Andrew Largeman We don't have bread.
What do you mean you don't have bread, how can you not have bread?
Andrew Largeman We're a Vietnamese restaurant. We just don't have bread.
Well, you're not Vietnamese.
Andrew Largeman No, I'm not.
Can I have something to chew on? ****, bamboo! Whatever!
Andrew Largeman I'll see what I can find.

I'm not innocent.

Man, that's the most worked up I've ever seen you.
He's protecting me.
Andrew Largeman So?

Andrew Largeman You're a cop, Kenny?
Kenny Yeah, I know.

Andrew Largeman But Kenny, the last time I saw you, you were doing coke lines off a urinal.
Kenny I know, I know, man... but it was time for me to grow up, you know? Plus, I wasn't making shit at that fish market. No one knew who I was. I couldn't get laid. Yeah, it's a much better situation for me now.
We're not gonna make out or anything, okay?
Andrew Largeman What?
Oh, I'm sorry. I just totally ruined that moment, didn't I?
Andrew Largeman So what were you really doing there?
Charging. I'm a robot.
Andrew Largeman Do you lie a lot?
What do you consider a lot?
Andrew Largeman Enough for people to call you a liar.

Karl Benson I think it was painkillers. Or that car in the garage thing.
