Bruce Quote #8
Quote from Bruce in Home for Christmas
Dean: I totally dig it.
Bruce: Mm-hmm. It's the perfect place to sit and look at stars. You know, if one of us had a telescope. [chuckles]
Dean: Yeah. If.
Bruce: Oh, you see that constellation right there? That one's called Cassiopeia. You can see it from where I'm stationed in Vietnam. When I look up at it every night, I'll always be thinking of you. And you can think of me, too, when you see it from here.
Adult Dean: I guess the war did change my brother... in some ways. But not in the ways I had feared. And not in the ways that really mattered. He was still the kind of guy who would spend Christmas Eve freezing his butt off in the treehouse with his little brother.
Dean: Where's Santa? He's late.
Bruce: Hmm. Maybe he really is Black. [both laugh]

Quote from Adult Dean
Adult Dean: But what if they were right? What if guys don't come back from Vietnam the same? The next morning, I decided I needed to pay extra-close attention to my brother. Never let him leave my sight, examine every word and action to make sure he's sane.

Quote from Adult Dean
Adult Dean: Yep, that's an electric saw. It was 1968. There were a bunch of kids walking around missing a couple of fingers.
Quote from Cory
Dean: I don't know what you guys are talking about. That's just a movie.
Norman: Nope. Those guys don't come back the same.
Cory: He's right, Dean. My mama's cousin came back from Vietnam, and now everybody says he's on the junk.
Brad: What's "the junk"?
Cory: I don't really know. But whatever it is, it makes your grandma lock up her rings.
