"Steve didn't become one with The Light." "This is very disturbing for those of us who believe." "We need to know if you kept Steve." "We need to know if you kept Steve from fulfilling his plan." " Look, let me just go get the kid, and then I will do whatever you want!" " First, take us back." " Take you back where?" "I don't know what the hell you're talking about!" "You dosed me."

" And we're getting ready to do this world tour, and she decides that she needs a break and decides that she's gonna go to the beach." "We had these venues booked, these stadiums." "We're talking millions of dollars." " Fear." "That's what I'm hearing." "The key is not to, you know, excise the fear, but you channel it." "Use it." " Okay." "So how?" " Well, we work with a lot of troubled young people." "We have some very effective techniques." " All right, but Luna is not like my daughter, you know." " No." " I mean, Noa's always wanted something to believe in, so she's easily brainwashed." " You know, we don't we don't brainwash." "We empower people." " Of course you do."

" Is that what you were planning to use to get her back?" " Only if I have to." " You won't, because what I have to offer is a hell of a lot more powerful than anything that little handgun can fire." " Okay." " We haven't yet discussed, my fee." " Right." "Okay." "I'm willing to cut you in on my part of the take." "Like, say, $50,000?" "If you can close the deal." "All right then." " Whowho's there?" " Sorry to wake you." " It's all right." "I'm gonna be sleeping soon enough." "So are you here to poke me with something or pray for me?" " Is that what's been happening?" "That's pretty much all that happens at the end." "I got rid of two priests and a rabbi." "That sounds like the beginning of a joke." " I'm a friend of your son's." "They called me." "I need to see him." " I'm afraid he's out of town on business."

"Come with me, Eddie." " Eddie, wake up, man." " Come on, Eddie." "Come on." " Doc?" "What's my mother doing here?" " You're home, Eddie." " I don't understand." "Am I dead?" "It's so beautiful." " You built it, not I." "I was too steeped in sin." "It's your Garden, Eddie." " Doc?" "Johnny." " Well, first, I have to pee." "That was a long drive." " Hi." " Finally." "You're hard to reach." "Where are you?" " Um..." "I'm in someone's idea of oblivion." " Everything all right?" " No." "I got a call." "It's Brenda." "She's not doing well." " What does that mean?" "She's never doing well." " Her liver, Cal." "It's..." "It's the end." " This isn't a surprise." "This is the least surprising thing you could tell me." " She says she has something to say." "Are you with her?" "Yes, and she seems so small and frightened." "And I have been with people on the threshold before, but this something's holding her back." " Yeah, well, that's it's not possible." "I'm out here on the other end of the earth, trying to fix my fuckup." "Look." "Can I,  can I just say that this... this may have more of an impact on you than you think." "You know, losing the parent you've had a terrible relationship with can be harder than losing someone that you had a good one with," "Especially if you haven't made an effort toward closure." " Whatever... parting words of poison my mother has to convey, she can do it through you." "It won't..." "It won't hurt you the way it will hurt me." "I'm sorry." "  You first." " You first." "  No." " You first." " Right now." " Hey." " Hey." " Hi." " Can I ask what's so funny?" " Cal, this is Luna." "This is Cal.  Hi, Cal." "Aww." "Think we've made him a little sad." " I think he was already sad." " Get some." "Yeah." "It's really good." " No.  Really." "Come on." "Why not?" "Come on, come on, come on, come on." "" " Ooh." "Nice shit, right?"

" Okay, I'mI'm sure it's just a misunderstanding." " Yeah.  I'll check it out." " Okay, 'cause they say they're gonna leave, so people are starting to say things." " I'm sure it's just a mistake." " Okay." "Yeah." " I'm sorry." "I couldn't reach him." " Easy." "You're gonna pull out your IV." " You're lying." "I can see it in your face."

"All I remember is wanting to go so bad." "But you got struck by lightning and you lived." "There has to be a reason for that." "Something you've got to do." " You know..." "I was trying to save someone." "But I couldn't." "A storm came in, and, you know," "I had ahold of him, but I let go." " You couldn't hold on?" " No, I tried so hard, but..." "You couldn't save him." "There's nothing you can do." "There's nothing you could've done." "You hear me?" "Eddie, you got to understand that." "There's nothing." "Eddie, come on." "It is not your fault." "These things are not your fault." "You're just a person, okay?" "You have to understand that." "There is nothing you could've done." " Look at me, Eddie." "It is not your fault." "There is nothing you could've done!" "Nothing!" "Doesn't it feel good to just run?" "And not on that treadmill." "With that stupid trainer always yelling at me?" " That's right." "Well, you just run your little heart out for me today, 'cause tomorrow morning...  You know, when I was when I was little, my mom used to take me to the mall and let me do a full belt at the top of the escalator," "just to hear my voice echo around us, and people would look up like," ""Is that little girl making all that sound?""

"You people just don't want to hear it because it's not easy." "It's not the immediate gratification of shoving that stuff up your nose." " You're not convincing anybody, Cal." "You're not even convincing yourself." "Hello?" " Mom?" " Hawk?" "What are you doing?" "Summer will be so happy to see you." "How bad is it?" " What's wrong?" " The money we owe." "What?" " Don't deny it." "Just respect me enough not to deny it." " I cannot believe your grandparents would involve you." " Theythey didn't." "And let me stop you from digging yourself a deeper hole."

" Lately, at the center, when someone has a problem or someone needs help with anything, they come to me, and I help them if I can, and if I can't," "I tell them straightup."

"You need to report them right now." " No, no, no, no." "Eddie, why not?" "They're fucking criminals!" "They need to be in jail, all of them!" "Look." "Look." "My kids are there." "Okay?" "They have my kids." " Then I guess it's never over, then, is it?" "No matter what." " Look like you could use some company." " I don't want to go back." " No, I know." "I know."

"There's just something inside me... it makes me do these terrible things." " Cal." "Wake up." "Wake up." "Where's Luna?" "Do you know?" "I got to get her ready and go back to L. A." " I let her go.  What?" " She's gone." "I told her to get as far away from you as she could." " Far away from me?" "Why the fuck?" " You'd tear that kid apart." "You're lucky that your own daughter had the courage to get away from you." " Fuck you." " You're supposed to be the adult."

"Don't wait until it's too late to be a good mother." " I have something for you." " Was this Steve's?" "It was the first one made for him after The Ladder was revealed." "I took it off him when we found his body." "I kept it safe." "Wasn't even sure why." "Until now." "No, Richard." "I can't accept this." " The Light is in you.  No." " You're marked with it."
