Quote from Mitchell

Mitchell: Um, I don't know if you remember this, but I tried to kiss you once, and I've... I've just always... I've felt really terrible about it. And I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
Scotty: Oh, yeah. No, I barely remember that. We had a great summer. Don't think twice about it.
Mitchell: Oh! That is... That is such a relief.
Scotty: Remember we stole my dad's truck and took it to the casino?
Mitchell: Right.
Scotty: I was trying to cheer you up because that bully kept pushing you in the lake.
Mitchell: Claire. Yeah. No, we're cool now.

Quote from Mitchell

Mitchell: Um, so, listen, good to see you.
Scotty: Great to see you.
Mitchell: Oh, and, hey, listen. Thank you so much for understanding. A lot of straight guys wouldn't have been so nice.
Scotty: Straight? I'm not straight. [chuckles]
Mitchell: I'm sorry. What?
Scotty: I'm gayer than three crawdaddies in a bucket. [to customers] Were you guys looking for bait? I just got in some California Short Worms that are definitely not regular worms cut in half.

Quote from Mitchell

Mitchell: Hi, again. Quick question.
Scotty: No refunds on the bait. They were alive when you bought them. Oh. Hey, Mitchy. Sorry.
Mitchell: Just curious. Um... How long after we hung out did you realize that you were gay?
Scotty: Oh, no, it was... It was years before that.
Mitchell: Oh. Okay. So... So, back then, when you said that you... You weren't "into this," you meant that you weren't into me.
Scotty: Well...
Mitchell: Because I must have been the only gay kid around for miles, right?
Scotty: Oh, I don't... Yeah, I mean, technically, yeah.
Mitchell: Oh, let me get this right. You're in the middle of nowhere, with no other options, at an age where a boy gets excited by the wind, and you looked at me, and you said, "Ooh, pass."
Scotty: W... I... I'm sorry. I feel bad. It was years ago, though. You want some... free bait? Have a lure?
Mitchell: Apparently, I don't have allure.

Quote from Cameron

Cameron: Okay, Gloria, there's a store. Go in there. Get me something to cover me up with anything. But if there is a color choice, avoid yellow and green. It washes me out.
Gloria: Oh, yeah, Cam, I would love to help you. The same way you helped me fall into that filthy lake! Hey, kids! Watch out for the naked man!
Cameron: What?
Gloria: Good luck.

Quote from Cameron

Cameron: Hello, darkness, my old friend.

Quote from Mitchell

Scotty: If you don't mind, I... I do want to go outside and see the eclipse.
Mitchell: Oh, I'm not done. Just- Just so you know, plenty of people find me very attractive, okay, including my amazing husband, who is no slouch himself.
Cameron: [wearing a sandwich board] Hi. Do you sell muumuus?
Mitchell: And I am going to find him right now.

Quote from Mitchell

Claire: "Run toward embarrassment"? What does that even mean?
Mitchell: I don't know. He needs this.

Quote from Jay

Jay: Honey, I want you to have my telescope. May it inspire you to love science.
Alex: I already love science.
Jay: This feels like a real turning point. You know, it's a story you'll want to tell people. "He always told me to reach for the stars."
