Quotes

Keller Coleman: Do you know what people mean when they say "safe sex"?
Keller's Grandfather: [Chuckles] Keller, at my age, there ain't no such thing. I could keel over right in the middle of it. At my age you don't worry about catchin' somethin'. You worry about finishing up in one piece.
Keller Coleman: [Grins sheepishly] I'm gonna' miss you, grandpa.
Keller's Grandfather: You're leavin' in the morning. Go to bed.
