- Billy Bloom: Sometimes, I dream I can fly. But I'm *so* exhausted from flapping my wings and the higher I soar, it reminds me of how little I fit in with them on the ground. So, I rise and I rise and... I realize that I don't wanna fly anymore. They never knew what they were looking up at anyway.
- Dr. Vickers: Your son has multiple abrasions , contusions, concussions , organ trauma and hemorrhaging that we need to keep an eye on.
- Billy Bloom: Well, I guess they didn't like the dress.
- Flip Kelly: You look awesome
- Billy Bloom: Seriously? Four hours in hair and makeup. I've been preened, plucked and bustiered so tightly that my toes are turning blue, and "Awesome"?... No. I look Atlantastic
- Flip Kelly: Okay, Atlantastic. Why'd you run away after class today?
- Billy Bloom: I didn't run. I was chased
- Flip Kelly: Oh. We're making progress, right? I mean, you're not getting beamed in the head anymore
- Billy Bloom: Am i not?
