- Carol Collins: Look, you wanted to know what happened, and I'm telling you. But my biggest fear was that my old life would somehow touch this one. Touch you.
- Principal Kim Collins: That didn't work out so well, did it?
- Carol Collins: Come on. Nothing's changed. I'm still your mom. And you are the best thing that I've ever done with my life.
- Matt Lisko: That's kinda the order of things. Losing your grandparents and then losing your parents. You know, it's kinda... kinda the way that's supposed to go.
- Hilde Lisko: That's why the Richie Fife thing was so hard.
- Matt Lisko: Yeah, parents aren't supposed to lose their child.
- Matt Lisko: Remember, silence is your friend. Each new question is the end of the last answer. So, you gotta be patient. Let the silence go on till it gets awkward, 'cause that person's gonna wanna fill the empty space, okay?
- Dr. Lucy Fife: Why don't you want to know the truth?
- Mayor Jack Fife: Thirty-one years ago, we buried an empty coffin, and I've been wondering about your brother's final moments every day since. What if we find out what happened to him, and it's worse than we thought?
- Carol Collins: Let's run away. I know how to start over.
- Principal Kim Collins: That's not gonna happen.
