- Ben Drake: You know how I know it's all over?
- Norrie Calvert-Hill: How?
- Ben Drake: The girl who bitched and moaned about how much she hates this place is now telling me everything's gonna be okay.
- Pauline Rennie: [re Lyle] Are you sorry you saved him from drowning?
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: No. You wanted him here, and I, I did it for you.
- Pauline Rennie: That's a new one.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: What do you mean?
- Pauline Rennie: That night at the Senior Dance, when Lyle got drunk and dragged me onto the dance floor, you said the last place I should be is anywhere near him.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: Still took you six months to dump him.
- Melanie Cross: My mom used to kiss my forehead when she took my temperature. Did your mom do that?
- Rebecca Pine: I don't remember. She died when I was eight.
- Melanie Cross: I'm sorry.
- Rebecca Pine: [sighs] I wanted a reason - someone to tell me why she was taken from me.
- Melanie Cross: Maybe some questions have no answers.
- Rebecca Pine: You sound like Julia.
- Melanie Cross: Is that such a bad thing?
- Rebecca Pine: There's a better thing, Melanie. Knowing. People have always wondered about the world. Why the sun rises and sets. Why spring turns to summer and then autumn. Why loved ones get sick. How to make them better. You know, knowing the answers doesn't take away the wonder. It actually makes it more amazing.
- Melanie Cross: Tell me why I'm dying. 'cause I'm not just sick, am I? I'm dying.
- Rebecca Pine: Listen...
- Melanie Cross: All that matters is the first time I died, I was all alone. Now I have you, and Julia, and my brother. It was worth coming back, just for that.
- Rebecca Pine: I just can't give up like you and Julia.
- Sam Verdreaux: It's not giving up. It's letting go. There's a difference.
- Rebecca Pine: Which is?
- Sam Verdreaux: Knowing there are things you don't know and still being OK with it.
