- Chet: I just like to have something to balance out the farce, you know?
- Daniel Holden: I think farcing may be sadder.

- Daniel Holden: How do you know?
- Kerwin Whitman: Because I know you. Because I know you. Because I know you.
- Daniel Holden: It shocked me to find you here. You know, just not used to contemplating all the variables one might encounter.

And when everything is out of the ordinary, it can be too much sometimes, you know? Like finding you behind this door, when I didn't even consider there could be somebody else behind this door but my sister. Your mind puts it together, of course, but even just the door opening is still very unreal.
