- Elliot Weston: When Nancy got better, I really had thought I was through with Death, Mike. I mean, that son of a bitch has been hanging around my house for over a year, you know, flipping through magazines, watching tv, waiting. And then the second-look surgery came, no more cancer! Nancy gets to be alive, you know? No more Death! What a dope! Mike, it's going to be like this for the rest of our lives. You know? We just have to keep going. Trying to fill the time between the funerals. Which is either very stupid... or kinda sweet, depending on how you look at it.
- Prof. Gary Shepherd: Oh. Whenever I try to take pictures of the moon it always ends up looking like a street lamp in a parking lot.
- Melissa Steadman: Well, you don't know the secret.
- Prof. Gary Shepherd: What secret?
- Melissa Steadman: Ansel Adams. Hernandez, New Mexico. Always remember the moon is a sunlit object. Expose accordingly.
- Prof. Gary Shepherd: [rolling over to go back to sleep] Okay. Now I know the secret.
- Melissa Steadman: [still taking pictures of the moon] Yep. You do.
- Prof. Gary Shepherd: [stirring and looking back up] Were you... were you taking pictures of me just now when I was asleep?
- Melissa Steadman: [sheepish] Sort of.
- Prof. Gary Shepherd: Think they'll turn out?
- Melissa Steadman: [shrugging] Don't know.
- Prof. Gary Shepherd: [going back to sleep] Well, let me know if they do. But remember: Gary is a moonlit object. Expose accordingly.
- Susannah Hart: You all had so much more of him. More time. More memories. I feel cheated. And, uhm, I think a part of me hates you for it. All of you. It's wrong. It'll change. But right now...
- Melissa Steadman: You shouldn't have come up here telling me he loved me. I mean, we should have all been huddled around you saying you how much he loved you. He did love you. Really. I think more than anything. Gary can't lie. He's transparent when it comes to that. There's no way he can hide anything. He gets that idiotic grin on his face...
- [realizing]
- Melissa Steadman: ... present tense.
- Susannah Hart: I'm so angry at him. He changed everything in my life. I used to know exactly what I wanted and how to get it. But Gary... I started to become this other person with him. Now? What am I going to do now? He changes you then he goes.
- Melissa Steadman: [shaking her head] You changed him.
- Prof. Gary Shepherd: [lost while driving with Susannah] So relax. Close your eyes if you want. We'll get there. And if we don't get where we're going, we'll get somewhere else that's just as interesting.
