• (Robert Sloan) "Martin, is it so bad where you're from?"
• (Gig Young) "I thought so, Pop. I've been living on a dead run, and I was tired. And one day I knew I had to come back here. I had to come back and get on the merry-go-round, and eat cotton candy, and listen to a band concert. I had to stop and breathe, and close my eyes and smell, and listen."
• (Robert Sloan) "I guess we all want that. Maybe when you go back, Martin, you'll find that there are merry-go-rounds and band concerts where you are. Maybe you haven't been looking in the right place. You've been looking behind you, Martin. Try looking ahead."

That's all I wanted to tell you. God help me. That's all I wanted to tell you."
