• Dot : Trev, what would you do in that situation?

  Trevor : Oh, I'd most likely shit myself.

  Ben : And I most likely would have to clean it up.

  Dot : Don't worry about them. They're idiots.

  Peaches : Oh, okay.

  Ben : I have to clean him up when he shits himself.

  Dot : God.

• Peaches : What's it like being a parent?

  Ben : Every corny thing you've heard about having a kid is completely and utterly true... It's the only reason we're here.

  Ben : [typing his book]  Soon after our trip, I resigned as his caregiver, but continued on as his friend. Two weeks ago, when I went to visit Trevor on his 21st birthday, I found him lying on the floor of his bedroom, finally at peace. The new caregiver, a kind woman in her 60s named Anna, was sobbing. She, like me, knew just how special he was. He was faking, of course. Anna quit the next day.

• Ben : Well, take care of yourself in Denver. There are a lot of perverts there.

  Dot : Yeah? And how would you know?

  Ben : We all keep in touch.

• Ben : You think because you're in a wheelchair that gives you the right to say and do whatever you want?

  Trevor : You ever considered that maybe I'm just a prick, with or without the wheelchair?

• Ben : I'm getting a patty melt, I don't give a shit.

• Trevor : If I had one night with her, I swear when I was done, she won't be able to walk properly.

  Ben : Oh, because you give her muscular dystrophy?

• Trevor : I'd really like to take a pee standing up.

  Ben : [nods]  Yeah, it's pretty awesome.
