Weapons (2025 film)

"I... First I want to just say how very sorry I am for all of... what’s happened. I know there’s nothing I can say to make this better. The truth is, I want an answer just as bad as all of you. I love those kids. I know it’s-- I know it’s not the same as how you love them but... believe me I really loved those children and I’ve spent every waking moment since... that day asking myself what could have happened. I wish I had some insight or explanation but I just don’t have one. I just--"

"I can make your parents hurt themselves. I can make them hurt each other. I can make them eat each other if I want to. Do I want to, Alex?"

"This is a true story that happened right here in my town two years ago. A lot of people die in a lot of really weird ways in this story but you won’t find it in the news or anywhere like that because the police and top people in this town were like so embarrassed about not being able to solve it that they covered everything all up."

"[about Justine Gandy] It was a Wednesday and she was going to her classroom just like every morning. But this day was different. This day, none of her kids were there. Every other class at that school had all their kids. Even the other third grade class that Mrs. Belt taught was full. But Mrs. Gandy’s room was totally empty. Well... not totally. There was one boy there. His name was Alex Lilly and he was the only kid in a class of eighteen that came to school that day. And do you know why? He was the only one there because the night before at 2:17 in the morning, every other kid in Mrs. Gandy’s third grade class woke up... got out of bed... walked downstairs, opened the front door... walked across the front yard and into the dark... and they never came back."

"One night before they did, they had a big meeting at the school with all the teachers and all the parents. There were a bunch of counselors and people like that to help everyone figure out how to feel and how to be sad together I guess. This is where the story really starts."

"Captain Ed: Mr. Graff, I can understand your passion, and I don't mind having these conversations with you because god forbid if it was my child, I'd be demanding answers too. Those kids walked out of those homes; no one pulled them out. No one forced them. What do you see that I don't?"
