âyou guys want to go see a dead body?â
âmy balls crawled up so high i thought they was trying to get back home.â
âthere used to be a bridge, but there was a flood. a long time ago. now thereâs just the train-tracks.â

âi know what people think of my family in this town. i know what they think of me and what they expect.â
âall they give a fuck about is whether you behaved yourself in grammar school and what the town thinks of your family.â
âbut maybe Iâll try to work myself up. i donât know if i could do it, but i might try.â
âi want to go someplace where nobody knows me and i donât have any black marks against me before i start.â
âpeople drag you down.â
âi say i wanna go look for it, then iâm gonna go look for it! i wanna see it! i wanna see the ghost! i wanna see it.â
âitâs hard to make strangers care about the good things in your life.â
âi was thinking of something else, thatâs all.â
âwhat am i doinâ here, anyway?â
âwell what the fuck do you know about this?â
âiâll give you one chance to just blow away. i donât give a fuck where. Just make like a tree and leave.â
âkid, whatever your name is, get ready to reach down your fuckinâ throat the next time you need to pick your nose.â
âsuck my fat one, you cheap dime-store hood.â

âyouâll go to jayyy-ail.â
âwhere do you want it, [name]? arm or leg? i canât pick. you pick for me.â
âbut i know how youâre going to come out of this, motherfuck.â

âif people ask where we were, weâll say we went campinâ up on [place name] and got lost.â
âwell, seeya in school on wednesday. i think iâm gonna sleep until then.â
âiâm gonna toot home and see if momâs got me on the ten most wanted list.â
âyou bet theyâll tell. but not today or tomorrow, if thatâs what youâre worried about. itâll be a long time before they tell, i think. years, maybe.â
âi didnât think of it just like that. you see through people, [name].â
âiâm never gonna get out of this town.â
âdonât let me see you around, dipshit.â
âdo you think they will respect you? they will laugh and call you stupid-fool.â
âi didnât know them. really.â
âiâm sorry i couldnât stay with you, [name], but i had pies in the oven.â
âfriends come in and out of your life like busboys in a restaurant, did you ever notice that?â
âif you go out alone youâre a hero. take somebody else with you and youâre dogpiss.â
âif he had drowned, that part of me would have drowned with him, i think.â
âi drove out of town, parked, and cried for [him/her/them]. cried for damn near half an hour, i guess.â
âa lot of the critics think what i write is shit.â
âmy story sounds so much like a fairytale that itâs fucking absurd.â
âi wonder if there is really any point in what iâm doing.â
