Quotes

Boy Erased

Edit
  • Brandon: [with boys lined up on a masculinity scale] Fake it till you make it. Become the man you are not. So, you think Cameron here is the big winner, huh? You think being big and tall and overeating immediately puts a guy at the front of the line, but it's more that triangles and postures and genetics. A firm handshake. Let's go! Do it.
  • Nancy Eamons: [to her son Jared] I love God, God loves me, and I love my son. That simple. For your father it's a little more complicated.
  • Jared Eamons: [to his father] I'm gay, and I'm your son, and neither of those things are going to change. Okay? So let's deal with that, or let's call it a day.
  • Pastor Wilkes: [angrily] Nobody is to discuss the therapy outside these walls! Do I make myself clear?
  • Jared Eamons: I wish none of this had ever happened, but sometimes I thank God that it did.
  • Marshall Eamons: Study the Bible. Study his word. I guarantee you, every question you have... you gonna find an answer in this book.
  • Victor Sykes: Now, now matter how much you crumple up a dollar bill, you can never take away its value. Now, even if you were to rip it, which would represent our being severed from Christ, well, guess what? You can always tape it back together. Jesus puts us back together. And, even though there is a scar, out value doers not change.
  • Jared Eamons: Do you know Job from the Bible?
  • Xavier: Not personally. I hear he's not great company. Always complaining.
  • Nancy Eamons: Parents want to protect their kids.
  • Jared Eamons: So they feed them lies.
  • Nancy Eamons: I think that they're okay lies.
  • Jared Eamons: What, like not telling me how long I might be here for? You know the whole thing you and Dad are paying for here is all about how messed we are by our parents. They want to know about YOU. That's why you can't know about IT., because then they won't get their money out of you.
  • Marshall Eamons: We've got one question for you, son, then we're gonna let you sleep. It's been a big day. I have shared our conversations with these two fine, upstanding men, and I have asked them for their guidance. I can tell you right now we don't have all the answers, but I do know that you gonna hold the key to the next step. Your mother and I, we can not see a way that you can live under this roof, attend service and work at the dealership if you're gonna fundamentally go against the grain of our beliefs and against God himself. I'm gonna ask you that question now, son: In your heart, do you want to change?
  • Marshall Eamons: You know, Jared, as far as I can tell, we've only got one God-given right, and that is when a man and a woman come together. They may create life. You think how much God must love mankind to give us that awesome responsibility...
  • Jared Eamons: [interrupting] Dad, it's really not true.
  • Jared Eamons: [Runs and throws a brick at an advertisement screen, cracking the plastic] Fuck you! Fuck you! FUCK YOU!
  • Nancy Eamons: [Chuckles after seeing a typo in a copy of the bible] The almighty Dog.
