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.

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.
