Helen Grace : So, you say you found this book, and it tells you how to see faeries and goblins and magic sprites, and that's what this is all about.
Jared Grace : [frustrated] I told you you wouldn't believe me.
Helen Grace : What do you think about all this, Mal?

Jared Grace : This is why Dad left, you know. When someone's trying to tell you something you don't wanna hear, this is what you do. You just stop listening and start yelling. You did it to Dad all the time.
Helen Grace : Stop it.
Jared Grace : I saw you.
Helen Grace : Yeah, you saw what you wanted to see.
Jared Grace : [Jared is on the verge of exploding] YOU WOULD'NT LISTEN, AND THAT'S WHY HE LEFT!

Jared Grace : Gladly.
[super angry and furious now]
Jared Grace : I HATE YOU AND I DON'T WANT TO LIVE WITH YOU!

Jared Grace : He's not coming, is he?
Mallory Grace : He's with someone else. He's moved in with her. He's not getting back with Mom. He's not. Mom wanted him to tell you himself. She's been waiting for him to do that.
