Adam : One little change has a ripple effect and it effects everything else. Like a butterfly floats its wings and Tokyo explodes or there's a tsunami, in like, you know, somewhere.
Jacob : Yes exactly. You step on the bug and the fucking internet is never invented.
Lou : Oh then you'll have to talk to girls with your mouth.
Jacob : Yeah. No. I was more concerned about bigger consequences like not being born.
Lou : Yeah. No. I don't care about that.
-
Nick : Just like Cincinatti.
Lou : What?
Adam : You're gonna bring that up?
Lou : We said we weren't gonna talk about Cincinatti ever, okay?
Jacob : Is that why you have that shoebox in your closet that says "Cincinatti"?
Adam : Yeah!
Lou : What? That's fucking admissible!
Nick : You keep it in the closet?
Adam : What was I supposed to do with it? You can't bury those things.
Nick : You wrote "Cincinatti" on it?
Adam : How do I know which one it's supposed to be?
Jacob : Is it a fetus?
Nick : My friends are ridiculous.
-
Adam : I knew this trip was a bad idea. Every time I hang out with you, man, it's some kind of shit storm. I got guilted into coming on this trip and now I'm back in the fuckin' '80s. And I hate this decade!
-
Adam : The carving you made 20 years ago, about me sucking cocks and dicks, it's not there.
Lou : Wait. Is "cocks" still there?
Adam : Nothing. I mean, it's not there.
Lou : What about "dicks"?
Adam : Neither "cocks," nor "dicks," nor "sucks."
Lou : Oh, God!
Nick : That's it. We're stuck in the fuckin' '80s!
-
Adam : Listen to me, man. That guy, that guy has pummeled you again and again.
Nick : He made you his little bitch!
Adam : He's humiliated you, emasculated you. The wheel of fate has stopped and dumped you here again, utterly defeated.
Lou : None of this is helping me at all.
Adam : I know, it's coming. It's coming right now.
Nick : Patience.
Adam : Maybe you're supposed to do something different...
Blaine : What is this, girl talk? Let's go here, come on.
Adam : You're better than him!
Blaine : America!
Adam : Maybe not by a lot, but a little. You're the patron saint of the totally fucked. You're completely toxic. There's nothing you can't kill. You're the fucking Violator!
Blaine : The moment's over. Let's go!
Adam : You can do this! You can get us the fuck out of here! You can be the hero!
Nick : Enrique'-fucking'-lglesias.
Adam : You love that song, don't you?
Lou : I love that fucking song!
[Lou gets up, launches himself one-footed off of the couch at Blaine. Blaine moves out of the way and punches Lou twice, knocking him back to the ground]
Adam : Shit.
Lou : God damn it! None of what you said worked at all!
-
Dr. Jeff : I'm Dr. Jeff. Lou's resting. He's denying that it's a suicide attempt. Medically, he's stable; so, medically we can't keep him here. But, we do think he should be monitored for a few days. Does he have any family?
Adam : Lou's family all kind of hate him.
Dr. Jeff : Okay, well, then, I guess it's up to you guys - his friends You are his friends? Right?
Nick : It's like that friend who's the asshole. He's our asshole.
-
Adam : I'll tell you something I haven't told anybody for a long time. When I was a kid, every Friday night, my father used to take my sister Kelly and me to this place called Flat Irons for steak sandwiches. It was a family tradition.
April : That's sometimes a good thing.
Adam : But one year, we saw this commercial for this place called "The Enchanted Forest of Pizza." So the next Friday, my dad's loading us up into the car. We're like, "Daddy, we want to go to The Enchanted Forest of Pizza." And he's like, "What are you talking about? We always go for steak sandwiches." But we just stay at him and we're whining, and we're badgering, and finally he relents.
April : Nice. So, you win--you deviated from the plan in, like, a really big way. That's good.
Adam : Thirty-three people died of E. coli... including my father. Before he died, he looked at me and he said, "Adam, you did this."
April : No, he didn't.
Adam : Yes, he did. With his eyes.
