Quotes

• Kosmo: You think a kid that age has the will to kill himself?

Patricia: If he jumped, he probably thought he had a good reason.

Dominic: Probably wishing he could fly.

• (Dominic shows up at Zeto's home as he's painting over the word "pervert" on his garage door)

Dominic: I think you should know it was the stepfather. It was Byron's stepfather that was abusing him.

Richard Zeto: Oh, yeah. That makes me feel much better. That's great.

Dominic: You know, if there's anything I could do that would help, I would like to do it. Seriously.

Richard Zeto: Nobody can help me.
