Quotes
When he was younger he wrote a sign.
What, what did the sign say?
It said, said "I'm a psychopath"!
- Tom and AJ
Wesley, I don’t want you to panic, but there’s a mockingbird in the room right now.
ThErE’s A mOcKiNgBiRd In ThE rOoM rIgHt NoW.
What’s it saying to you?
It’s saying what I say back to me in a sarcastic tone.
That’s the mocking bit, yeah.

I just lie underneath your bed and monitor the situation.
Yeahhhhh.
Oh, yes.
Ohhh. I chose this. Ahhh.
Oww. Oh, that’s a view.

I don’t like- the language that you used there. What if my son was out of my ~way~? I mean, your way. I don’t like your syntax.
- AJ
Darling.
What?
You’re not crazy.
No I know. I’m not crazy. I’m gonna kill them all Mum.
Okay, maybe you are crazy.
