Quotes 

• Kevin Garvey, Sr. : Truth is, along with our missing fuckin' savior we also appear to be short some apostles- our friend Matthew, conspicuously absent. Fortunately I will play the part of Peter.

  Laurie Garvey : [laughs] 

  Kevin Garvey, Sr. : [to John]  You're already John.

  [to Michael] 

  Kevin Garvey, Sr. : What about you kid, you wanna' be Simon? Bartholemew?

  Michael Murphy : [groggily]  Pass.

  Kevin Garvey, Sr. : Ah, nah, we all have to be somebody. Somebody who was there at Christ's last huzzah.

  Laurie Garvey : So that would make me Mary Magdalene.

  Kevin Garvey, Sr. : That would be Nora- also conspicuously absent. You, Doctor Garvey, are one apostle, and one apostle only: Thomas. Doubting Thomas.

  Laurie Garvey : Hmm.

  Kevin Garvey, Sr. : When I first started hearing voices back in Mapleton, everyone around me told me I was fuckin' nuts. Everyone. Except you. You were the one person who believed me, who told me those voices were really there. Next thing I knew I was locked up in a fuckin' mental institution.

  Laurie Garvey : So you're wrong, Pop. I'm not Thomas, I'm Judas. Doubting is easy, because doubting costs you nothing. But Judas? He was surrounded by people going on and on about how special Jesus was, but he betrayed him anyway, because he was sure. He believed in something. And he acted on it.

  Michael Murphy : And he killed himself.

  Laurie Garvey : Sweetie?

  [stroking Michael's shoulder] 

  Michael Murphy : [increasingly groggy]  Judas collected his thirty pieces of silvers and then he hung himself...

  John Murphy : You alright?

  Michael Murphy : If he was so sure why'd he kill himself?

  [falling asleep] 

  Laurie Garvey : Well, Michael, I was not aware of that part of the story. I have no idea why he killed himself... Did he leave a note?

  Kevin Garvey, Sr. : [faceplants into his plate, unconscious] 

  John Murphy : Hey...

  [getting groggy] 

  John Murphy : You... Hey? You alright?

  Laurie Garvey : He's fine. He's just sleeping.

  John Murphy : [gets up, stumbles a step, and collapses to the floor, unconscious] 

  Laurie Garvey : [surveys the room, finally looking at the dog. smiles]  I borrowed your pills.

• Laurie Garvey : So is this the part where you call the DSD and shut this operation down?

  John Murphy : [to Matt]  Do you remember when we were kids? After Mom and Dad died, when everyone at the church wouldn't take their eyes off us? They'd take us to the movies, and bowling, and putt-putt, just to keep us busy?

  Matt Jamison : Of course I do.

  John Murphy : And this one time they brought us to a baseball game, and I was too young to get the rules, so I watched these people in another section hitting a beach ball. And the whole stadium was getting into it, and when the ball came over to our seats you stood up and you just whacked it. It was the first time I'd seen you smile in forever... But then the ball went into the aisle and this usher ran down and grabbed it, and he picked it up and he just squeezed the air out of it. And then everyone just started booing- not just the people in our section but the whole stadium, just booing. He just ruined it for all of them. They just wanted to hit the ball... Why would he want to do that job? Why would anyone?

  [starts crying] 

  Laurie Garvey : Because if he doesn't, that ball is gonna' go onto the field. And it'll be fucking chaos.

  [wipes tears from Nora's cheek]
