- Bill Jacks: He's much improved. Shaun. He's well. I had Zippy kiss him. Thought I'd take a shot.
- Dr. Michael Smith: [to Cissy and Butchie] Shaun has recovered. Once I get the tube out of his throat, I'll come back and we should talk.
- Cissy Yost: We can't come in now?
- Dr. Michael Smith: Not until the tubes out. It can become uncomfortable for relatives to watch.
- John Monad: [to Kai] I took a dump. Zippy kissed him. Shaun's much improved and well. No, no, I got my eye on you. The end is near.
- Linc Stark: I know. You told me.
- John Monad: I'd like to bone you, Kai.
- Kai: You are one smooth-talking city dude.
- Barry Cunningham: Do you hear the dead man singing within, gentlemen?
- Ramon Gaviota: I'm half deaf from the leaf-blower.
- Barry Cunningham: No, attorney Dickstein?
- Meyer Dickstein: Uh, surfer's ear. Existosis of the ear canal.
- Barry Cunningham: I, alone, then am favored by the jovially croaking post-coital falsetto winsomely caricaturing Debbie Boone?
- [singing softly]
- Barry Cunningham: ... you give me hope... to carry on...
- [Reaches in and quickly slams the door to Room Twenty Four]
- Ramon Gaviota: [to Meyer Dickstein] Maybe we should get him some pea soup...
- Bill Jacks: [Bill is looking out the Yost's family window at the mass of people] Gawkers. Press. Candle Freaks. We're on the precipice of a cluster fuck. I'm thinking I'll go out and thin it out.
- Cissy Yost: I'd appreciate it.
- Bill Jacks: [reluctantly] Happy to do it.
- John Monad: I'm gonna bone Kai, Butchie. I may have to break her jaw first.
- Kai: No float boning. We'll just clear off a couch.
- Butchie Yost: Make her see God, John.
- John Monad: I'm gonna try hard enough.
- [Cissy has asked Shaun to stay in his bedroom. Butchie enters Shaun's room where he is reading surfing magazines]
- Shaun Yost: Why does Gram want me to?
- Butchie Yost: Well, she saw you get hurt.
- Shaun Yost: I'm okay now.
- Butchie Yost: [with extreme emphasis] You were hurt. Hey, you remember anything, you know, after you wiped out? You got fucking doned, man. Owned hard. You know, Grams and Gramps, too. They thought you weren't going to make it.
- [pauses]
- Butchie Yost: A lot of people.
- Shaun Yost: I woke up. I had a tube in.
- Butchie Yost: [points to a man in one of Shaun's surfer magazines] One time I put Icy Hot in the crouch of this guy's wet suit!
- Shaun Yost: And Bill was there and Zippy.
- Butchie Yost: And then you got better. Before that, I didn't think you could.
- Shaun Yost: Zippy was dead the day before yesterday.
- Butchie Yost: You thought he was dead.
- Cissy Yost: So dad was full of instructions. Did he tell you to break your neck for the second time today?
- Shaun Yost: Gram, I feel like a dork in there laying around.
- Cissy Yost: Well isn't that too goddamned bad! You listen to me! Don't listen to that fucking idiot!
- Cissy Yost: Did you build that half-pipe?
- Butchie Yost: No, Mom. You did.
- Cissy Yost: [screaming and crying] And what you did was blow smoke into the phone! Yeah Ma, be right there Ma, sorry I couldn't help Ma! I didn't even tell Shaunie you were coming over because I knew what the odds were. Where's my Dad, Grams, where's my Dad? Now you want him to break his neck.
- Kai: We're boning now, aren't we?
- John Monad: Now were boning, Kai!
- Kai: Boning, John, is when you put your joint in my pussy. That's your joint, here's my pussy.
- John Monad: Now we're boning.
- Kai: [to John] Has anyone ever called you slow, John? Challenged?
- John Monad: See God, Kai.
- Kai: If that's what it's like, I don't want to.
- John Monad: That's what it's like.
- Mitch Yost: Why did she bring him home?
- Bill Jacks: He recovered from his injuries.
- Mitch Yost: What are you talking about?
- Bill Jacks: A miracle.
- [Mitch departs, Bill is speaking to himself]
- Bill Jacks: What are you gonna say - Tell him that the bird kissed him... Jesus Christ, almighty!
- Dr. Michael Smith: So how is Shaun?
- Cissy Yost: Breaking my balls to let him skate.
- Dr. Michael Smith: Well, I take that as a good sign.
- Dr. Michael Smith: So, was I dead or something?
- Shaun Yost: You were pretty banged up when they brought you in, Shaun. Obviously you're fine. But if I had any doubts, I'd restrict your activities.
- Dr. Michael Smith: Did you think I was going to die?
- Shaun Yost: No, Sir. No, I did not.
- Butchie Yost: Whatever that means, Doc, I'm busted for being a dope fiend.
- Dr. Michael Smith: Why would that make you ineligible for a paranormal experience? And as Shaun's Father, maybe your eligibility has enhanced.
- Butchie Yost: You've met my old man, right?
- Dr. Michael Smith: Mitch.
- Butchie Yost: Up in the air yesterday. I saw it with my own eyes. Off the fucking ground.
- [last lines]
- Kai: [a large crowd has gathered to watch Shaun skateboard in his backyard] What's going on, John?
- John Monad: See God, Kai.
- Cass: Can I ask how your grandson's doing?
- Mitch Yost: He's gonna die. My wife doesn't want me up there. Gotta leave her the car.
- Cass: I can give you a ride, if you want.
- Bill Jacks: I have to ask you your business with the Yosts?
- Steady Freddie Lopez: My business is none of your business.
- Bill Jacks: Do not impede me looking out for these people, dip shit, who looks like someone smashed his face in with a board.
- Kai: [to John] My piercings feel like they were in a furnace! Don't do that to me again! Ever. You fuckin' hear me?
- Cissy Yost: Anyways, we're a little busy here.
- Mitch Yost: Which is another way of saying we do need time apart.
- Butchie Yost: I'm having problems with my implants, Doc. I passed out I got that fucking high.
- Dr. Michael Smith: Sensations of burning can be caused by I.V. drug use.
- Palaka: I don't know. Not why I asked you not to sell to him, not why I flew out here to see shape-changers in a rear-view mirror...
