Dialogue

[edit]
Randi: I said a lot of terrible things to you.
Lee: No...
Randi: But I... I know you never... Maybe you don't wanna talk to me.
Lee: It's not that...
Randi: Let... let me finish. However... My heart was broken - cause it's always gonna be broken, and I know yours is broken, too - but I don't have to carry it. I said things that... I should fuckin' burn in hell for what I said to you.
Lee: No. No-no. No, no, no-no-no. Randi, no.
Randi: I'm just sorry.
Lee: It's... it's... I... I can't expl... I can't...
Randi: I love you! Maybe I shouldn't say that.
Lee: No, you can say that. I'm sorry, I've gotta go.
Randi: I just... We couldn't have lunch?
Lee: I'm really sorry, I don't think so, but thank you for saying everything. It's just said...
Randi: You can't just die!
Lee: I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. And I'm... I... I want you to be happy, and I'm...
Randi: Honey... I see you walking around here, and I just wanna tell you...
Lee: I would want to talk... I would want to talk to you, Randi. Please, I-I-I... I'm... I'm...
Randi: Lee, Lee, you've gotta... gotta know what... Okay, I don't wanna torture you.
Lee: This is not... You're not... You're not torturing me.
Randi: I just wanna tell you... that I was wrong.
Lee: No. No. Nope. You don't understand, there's nothin'... there's nothin' there. There's nothin' there.
Randi: That's not true. That's not true.
Lee: You don't understand.
Randi: Yes, I do.
Lee: You don't see it. And I don't know what to s... I know you understand me. I-I-I gotta go. Sorry.
Randi: [after he walks away] I'm sorry.
Patrick: What happened to your hand?
Lee: I cut it.
Patrick: Oh, thanks. For a minute there, I didn't know what happened.
Suzy: Daddy?
Lee: Yes, honey.
Suzy: Can't you see we're burning?
Lee: No, honey. You're not burning.
Dr. Bethany: But it's not a good disease.
[pause]
Joe: What is a good disease?
[Lee and Patrick are walking on the street, having a heated argument which includes profanity. We see a pedestrian who overhears their conversation]
Manchester Pedestrian: Great parenting.
Lee: Fuck you! Mind your fucking business, fucking asshole!
Patrick: You were a tremendous help.
Lee: I didn't ask to sit down there.
Patrick: You can't make small talk like every other grown-up in the world?
Lee: No.
Patrick: You can't talk about boring bullshit for half an hour? "Hey, how about those interest rates?" "Hey, I lost my Triple A card." Like everybody else?
Lee: No, sorry.
[pause]
Patrick: You're a fucking asshole.
Lee: You know, I've seen a school of sharks tear a boat to pieces like it was made of cardboard because some kid threw a band-aid in the water.
Patrick: Oh, yeah...
Lee: Yeah, he did! Sometimes the only way to keep them off is to throw the kid directly in the ocean to distract them!
Patrick: Shut up. Sharks don't even swim in schools!
Lee: Huh? He says sharks don't swim in schools. Smart kid.
Lee: Do you actually have sex with these girls?
Patrick: Well, we don't just play computer games.
Lee: With both of them?
Patrick: Well with Sandy's mom here it's sort of strictly just basement business.
Lee: What does that mean?
Patrick: It means I'm workin' on it.
Lee: What was that guy like?
Patrick: He was very Christian?
Lee: You know we're Christian too. Right?
Patrick: Yes, I know that.
Lee': You are aware that Catholics are Christians?
Patrick: Yes, I am aware of that.
