- Donald Ripley: It has become appallingly clear that our technology has surpassed our humanity.
- Powder: Albert Einstein.
- Donald Ripley: When I look at you, I have hope that maybe one day our humanity will surpass our technology.
- Deputy Harley Duncan: I'm just saying that that's more than albino, Doug. That is spooky.
- Sheriff Doug Barnum: I never thought we'd find a man too white for you there Harley.
- Lindsey: Your father. Your father hurt you a long time ago. You're so sad, he made you so sad. He thought you were ugly, and he kept saying that you weren't... I'm sorry.
- Powder: Do you? Do you?
- Lindsey: Do I what?
- Powder: Do you think I'm ugly?
- Lindsey: I don't know what I think when I look at you. But sometimes I think, I think you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
- Powder: And then its possible to talk to someone without any lies. With no sarcasms, no deceptions, no exaggerations, or any of the other things people use to confuse the truth.
- Lindsey: It's hard to believe that, all of that.
- Powder: It's because you have this spot that you can't see past. My grams and gramps had it, the spot where they were taught they were disconnected from everything.
- Lindsey: So that's what they'd see if they could? That they're connected?
- Powder: And how beautiful they really are. And that there's no need to hide, or lie. And that it's possible to talk to someone without any lies, with no sarcasms, no deceptions, no exaggerations or any of the things that people use to confuse the truth.
- Lindsey: I don't know a single person who does that.

- [a baseball falls off from the shelf and onto the floor getting Jessie's attention]
- Powder: ANY of you!
- Jessie Caldwell: Jeremy...
- Powder: [angry and sad] NO! You pretend to be my friend the way you pretend everything!
- [glass from one of the pictures on the wall cracks up getting Jessie's attention again]
- Powder: A friend doesn't lock you up!
- [without warning, glass from another picture on the wall shatters by itself scaring Jessie]
- Powder: A friend doesn't take you away from your home!
- [glass from a clock on the wall violently shatters scaring Jessie more]
- Powder: And say that it's for your own good!
- [a fluorescent lamp above the ceiling violently explodes scaring Jessie once more as the room goes dark]
- Powder: How long do you really think I'll let you keep me here?
- [glass on the door explodes giving Jessie a total scare, Powder storms out of the room]
