Latter Days

"I don't like to brag, but I can suck the engine block through the tailpipe of a '58 Chevy."

"How come if God talks to Joseph Smith, he's a prophet, but if God talks to me I'm schizophrenic?"

"Maybe you could try and reach down in your Bible geek soul and be cool for just two seconds?"

"Ok asshole, the way I see it you've got a big mouth and only one arm to back it up. So's how's it gonna look when a big flamer kicks the shit out of you?"

"Dammit, what's wrong with you? You want revelations engraved in gold and angels trumpeting down from heaven. But what if this is it instead? Me telling you I love you, right here, in the snow? I think that's pretty miraculous."

"I mean, LA is a city where everyone dances with one eye on the door, like we're all waiting for something better to walk in. But would we ever recognise it if we did? It might be nice to stop circling. it might be nice to stop equating sex with a handshake. It might be nice to have it mean something."

"Could be worse, could be raining. Oh yeah: it IS raining."

"When I first came to Los Angeles, it looked like just this mass of dots, all jumbled and disconnected. ...It was pretty disorienting."

"Look at yourself. You're so pretty and colorful on the outside, but inside you're nothing but fluff. You're like a walking, talking marshmallow Peep!"

"I can't believe what I was about to do, when there is nothing, Christian, nothing about you that is not skin-deep."

"When I was a little kid, I use to put my face right up to them, you know, um, and I was just amazed because it was just this mass of dots, I think life is like that sometimes. But I like to think that, from God's perspective, life, everything - even this... it makes sense. It's not just dots. And instead we're all connected, and it's beautiful and it's funny and it's good. From this close we, we can't expect it to make sense, right now."

"We're colours and whites - we don't mix."

"[after having sex with Christian] Well, I'm already going to Hell for kissing you, so I may as well take the scenic route."

"[confronting his mother] What if it's not something I've done? What if it's who I am?"

"Sometimes it all still feels like a mass of dots. But more and more these days, I feel like we're all connected. And it's beautiful... and funny... and good."

"Fuck you, I'm Donna Reed on a stick."

"[On Mormons] Oh, honey, you do not want to let them get into your psyche. You start off listening to Amy Grant, but then, before you know, it's 3am and you got your Visa card and you're giving it to that scary bitch on TV with the lavender hair."

"Aaron prays, Christian plays. Opposites attract."
