Carl: Friends are the family you choose.

Zak: You are not invited to my birthday party!

Tyler: What's rule number one?

Zak: Party.

Zak: Tyler, I am going to give you all of my wishes for my birthday.

Zak: Maybe we could be friends and buddies... bro dogs... and chill. Have a good time!

Tyler: You might not be saying the word 'retard', alright, I'll give you that, but you're damn sure as making him feel retarded.

Tyler: You got a good-guy heart. You can't do shit about it, that's just who you are. You're a hero.

Zak: I can't be a hero because I am a Down's syndrome.

Tyler: What's that got to do with your heart?

Zak: [crossing the river] Am I gonna die?

Tyler: Yeah, you're gonna die, it's a matter of time. That ain't the question. The question's, whether they're gonna have a good story to tell about you when you're gone. Now, don't be a bitch. Let's go.

Blind Jasper John: [from trailer] There are sheep in this world and there are wolves in this world. And I know that you two boys are just two weary travelers who have lost your way. So, we are going to clean you up right with a baptism.

Tyler: While you've been doing paperwork we've been doing something called living, ain't that right, bud?

Zak: Yeah.

Eleanor: Okay. Cool.

Eleanor: You have a young boy with Down syndrome in the middle of nowhere.

Tyler: I'm the one who's been taking care of him because you can't do it unless you put him in a cage.

Tyler: Is she a good dog?

Trucker: Good enough. She don't run away, so I guess that makes her mine.

Eleanor: I could have you arrested for kidnapping, okay?

Tyler: Oh, you're going to have me arrested for kidnapping? How do you- how do you figure? You can't have me arrested. He's a runaway. Can't kidnap a runaway. Come on, genius. You said GW, didn't you?

Eleanor: I'm sure I could find some reason to arrest you.
