- Herrick: Why do you think some of us live forever and others are like... fireflies?
- Mitchell: Because some of us are smart and some of us are stupid.
- Herrick: If you choose an heir, they inherit all your secrets. They become... a dark angel, your protector, your saviour.
- Mitchell: Saviour from what?
- Herrick: Perhaps a fate we've been lead to believe there is no salvation from.
- Mitchell: So if something happens to you...
- Herrick: They can bring you back.
- Nina: [about George Sr] What was he like?
- George: Boring. I'd look at the other kids at my school and there was always drama. Someone's father was an alcoholic, someone else's gambled, someone's parents were getting divorced. I mean, from the outside, it almost seemed glamorous, but my dad, he worked hard, he never played away, I don't think I ever heard him raise his voice. He's... he was... ordinary. Boring. I don't think I ever realised... just how wonderful that was.
- Mitchell: [finding Herrick churning in pain] I know. I've felt it, too. Right now you're praying to a God that you don't believe in, begging for him to take the pain away or just let you die - but if God does exist, he doesn't listen to people like you and me.
- George Senior: This... this-this passing over, what does it involve, exactly?
- George: It's not as daunting as it sounds. Basically a door appears.
- George Senior: A door?
- George: Yeah, a door comes and, uh, you... you walk through it.
- George Senior: What kind of door?
- George: What do you mean?
- George Senior: Well, what type of door is it? Is it wooden, glazed, PVC, panelled?
- George: What? This is what concerns you, not what lies beyond the door but the materials used to construct it?
- George: What, over fifteen hundred people drowning while Celine Dion wails like a banshee - what's not to like?
- Herrick: I can't tell you, but I can show you.
- Nancy Reid: Show me what?
- Herrick: Where he buries his nightmare.
