• Bug : I am the condor. The Keeper of the Souls. I eat death for breakfast. I live in a house of blood and I accept that. That's all a man can do. I was ready to be arrested that night. I wasn't ready for what happened instead. Leah had told them everything and I was celebrated as a hero. Alex Dunkelman killed his stepfather, a cop, a mother, and five of the Riverton Seven. And I alone had stopped him from killing more. I didn't feel like a hero at all. But if it makes Riverton feel safe at night, I'll fake that I'm their hero. And I'll fake it good. Alex wouldn't have it any other way.

• Alex : [Bug stabs him, killing the Ripper personality]  I thought that guy would never leave.

  Bug : Alex?

  Alex : Where's the biggest knife in the kitchen?

  Bug : Where it needs to be.

  [pulls the knife out] 

• Bug : Do you think I'm a monkey, Alex?

  Alex : Have you killed people, Bug?

  Bug : Not that I can remember.

  Alex : Well I can't remember buying you bananas, either.

• Alex : Say, "Thanks, Fang, that felt great."

  Bug : I'd be lying.

  Alex : That's the point.

  Bug : Thanks, Fang, that felt great.

  Alex : That felt *fucking* great!

  Bug : That's a bad word.

  Alex : You bet. Makes things good.

  Bug : Everything's backwards with you.

• Bug : I'm scared.

  Alex : We're sixteen, Bug. Like it or not, we're men now.

  Bug : I don't feel like a man!

  Alex : No one does, that's why you gotta fake it.

  Bug : Fake being a man to be a man?

  Alex : That's the way it works. You can't run, you have to face your fear like a man.

  Bug : Even though I'm not a man?

  Alex : Because you're not a man. Listen, the better you fake it, the better man you are.

  Bug : Just fake it.

  Alex : Fake it good. Like if you're scared, act like you don't give a shit, or if somebody hurts you, say, "Thank you very much, that felt wonderful."

  Bug : [practicing]  Thanks, Brandon, that-I can't raise my arm, feels good.

  Alex : Yeah, there you go.

  Bug : Is that all you got, Brandon? I mean... I feel downright... cheated!

  Alex : I'm amazed that you're getting this so quick, it's tricky stuff.

  Bug : I was faking what I did.

  Alex : You were?

  Bug : [nods]  Completely.

  Alex : Yeah, but you were faking it good.

  Bug : I was?

  Alex : Abso-fuckin'-lutely. You now have permission to shave.

• Penelope : [about the Ripper]  Pray for our souls, Bug. He's coming.

  Bug : Jesus?

• Alex : Condor?

  Bug : Crow.

  Alex : It's all right, Bug. Feels great.

  Bug : Feels fucking great.

  Alex : Fucking great.

  [dies] 

  Bug : Fly now. I know you're up there, and I know we're down here.

• Bug : Just because you were out there doesn't mean you were spying.

  Alex : I was spying.

• Alex : [regarding a large bag]  What the fuck is that?

  Bug : Sock puppet.

  Alex : On steroids?

• Bug : Now we're all gonna die and it's my fault.

• Alex : [after being pressured by Alex to swear, Bug says "fuck" nearly every line]  Enough with the fucks!

  Bug : You say fuck.

• May : Just because Leah says mean things doesn't make them so.

  Bug : What if they are so?

• Bug : I know you're not my mother.

  May : Bug, I'm so sorry, I never meant...

  Bug : I hope you know something, too.

  May : What?

  Bug : That you are my mom. That one you're stuck with, like it or not.

• Bug : I wished I could take back what I did today, and make you proud of me.

• Fang : Do you know who your daddy was?

  Bug : May told me that he loved us very much.

  Fang : Yes, but who was he?

  Bug : I don't know. He died in a car accident

  Fang : On the way to the hospital while she was giving birth to you.

  [sarcastically] 

  Fang : What a sad and lovely story. Do you ever wonder why May doesn't talk about him or why there are no single fucking pictures of him in this house?

• Bug : That puppet was scary.

• Bug : Well, maybe it was just too painful .
