ANNA: I've never told you... but you sound a little like Dr. Seuss when you're drunk.

MALCOLM: I would like some red wine in a glass. I would not like it in a mug. I would not like it in a jug.

COLE: Are you a good doctor?
MALCOLM: I got an award once. From the Mayor.

MALCOLM: How do you draw now?
COLE: I draw people with smiles, dogs running, and rainbows. They don't have meetings about rainbows.

COLE: I don't tell her a thing.
MALCOLM: Why?
COLE: Cause she doesn't look at me like everybody, and I don't want her to. I don't want her to know.
MALCOLM: Know what?
COLE: That I'm a freak.

COLE: Tell me a story about why you're sad.
MALCOLM: Do you think I'm sad? What makes you think that?
COLE: Your eyes told me.

COLE: I see dead people...

MALCOLM: I'm not helping him.

COLE: Please make them leave.
MALCOLM: I'm working on it.

COLE: Sometimes people think they lose things, and they didn't really lose them. It just gets moved.

COLE: If you're not very mad... Can I sleep in your room tonight?
LYNN: Look at my face, Cole. I'm not very mad.

COLE: Don't give up. You're the only one who can help me. I know it.

COLE: Are you wigging out?

COLE: What if they don't want help? What if they're just angry and they want to hurt somebody?
MALCOLM: I don't think that's the way it works, Cole.
COLE: How do you know for sure?
MALCOLM: I don't.

COLE: I'm ready to communicate with you now.
LYNN: Communicate?
COLE: Tell you my secrets.

COLE: What are you thinking, Momma?
LYNN: I don't know.
COLE: You think I'm a freak?
LYNN: Look at my face. I would never think that about you ... ever... Got it?
COLE: Got it.
