Quotes 

• Fiona : People who get off on braces and wheel chairs are called devotés. They're a joke, they're the bottom rung. Above them are the pretenders. They wear the braces, they push the wheels, but they don't *belong* to their chairs. Still, if they want to fantasize, that's their choice. Then there are the wannabes. You saw how crazy they are.

  Isaac : What makes you different than a wannabe or a pretender?

  Fiona : I'm a unique case. I don't want to be paralyzed.

  Isaac : You don't?

  Fiona : I am already paralyzed. I'm just trapped in a walking person's body...

• Fiona : I'm just thinking how easy it is to get used to a miracle.

• Fiona : [about his shoes]  What does it feel like when you take them off.

  Isaac : Like you've just taken a deep breath, but before you can exhale somebody steals it away.

• Fiona : I used to think if aliens landed, and they saw all the able-bodied people, and then they saw the people on their wheel chairs, they would say that those must be the kings and queens. Because they have special ramps, and they never have to get up.
