Mysterious Skin

"Different folks, different strokes."

"[voiceover] The summer I was 8 years old, 5 hours disappeared from my life. 5 hours. Lost. Gone without a trace. Last thing I remember I was sitting on the bench at my Little League game. It started to rain. What happened after that remains a pitch black void."

"Eric: [in a postcard to Neil] So you still havent written - big surprise - but Wendy says youre doing OK, which is cool. Ive been wanting to tell you about this strange guy I met 3 weeks ago. No, were not fucking, get your mind out of the gutter, perv. Hes not even gay, I dont think - in fact, his vibe is kinda weirdly asexual. His name is Brian Lackey. He lives in Little River and, like yours truly, attends Hutchinson Loser Community College... So anyways, the day you left, your mom and I found him literally on your doorstep, looking for you. He says you and him played Little League together like 10 years ago. He was the worst player on the team, blah-blah-blah-blah-blah... Hes full of questions about you. But, of course, I havent told him much, i.e. about your "line of work". I did say you were queer like me, only cause I figured you wouldnt care. But now, are you ready for the good part? He thinks that when you and him were little, you were both abducted and examined by space aliens. How brilliant is that? But he was completely serious when he told me this. Like you shouldve seen the look in his eyes. So, whats the story, dude? Were you abducted by a UFO or what? P.S. - Are your crabs gone yet?"

"You called me your fucking... angel."

"I hate it when they look like Tarzan but sound like Jane."

"I met Wendy Peterson when I was 10. She was 11, one grade ahead of me in school. If I wasnt queer we would have ended up having sloppy teenage sex and getting pregnant, contributing more fucked-up unwanted kids to society. But instead, she became my soulmate. And... one true partner in crime."

"Elisabeth Shue - Ellen McCormick"

"I am so sick of this stinkin little buttcrack of a town!"

"Joseph Gordon-Levitt - Neil McCormick"

"Two boys. One cant remember. The other cant forget."

"Mary Lynn Rajskub - Avalyn Friesen"

"[to his father] I was bleeding, I kept passing out, I wet my bed, and you never asked why!"
