- Jeb: [Narrating] One day I rode up in the butte country...
- [Approaching the burned out shell of a cabin]
- Jeb: Came straight to this place just like I'd known the way. There was something in my life that ruined that house. That house was myself.
- [Entering the charred remains]
- Jeb: I'd seen it a million times before... the fireplace... the trap door...
- [Walking outside again]
- Jeb: Out back there was some cattle bones. All of a sudden I couldn't breathe, and then as I walked around the side, I came upon some unmarked graves. If that house was me, what part of me was buried in those graves?
- Mrs. Callum: [to Jeb] A person's gotta find his own answers. We're alone... each of us. Each in a different way.
- Thor Callum: You've always been like that, able to think with my thoughts and feel with my feelings. But there's something that keeps us apart. Oh, Jeb, what happened to us? Why did everything go wrong?
- Thor Callum: I was supposed to be your sister. That's how it's been ever since we were kids, only I stopped being your sister, and you've never been my brother. I had to go on every day pretending, watching you all day, letting you touch me; at night going in my room, lying there thinking about you.
