[Justin and Rebecca kiss in her bedroom when she notices the MFC written on his thumb]
Justin Cobb: [Chuckles] What's MFC? Justin? Justin.
[Justin becomes shy when he's reminded that MFC is his dad's initials, written on his thumb as a reminder to stop sucking]
Justin Cobb: Nothing.
Rebecca: It's nothing? Well, then why don't you just tell me? Justin.
Justin Cobb: Motherfucking cocksucker.
Rebecca: Why are you acting like this? What's the point of us spending time together if it can't lead to openness?
Justin Cobb: I'm sorry.
Rebecca: Maybe you should go.
Justin Cobb: I'm sorry. Um... Should I call you?
Rebecca: When you're ready to be open.

[Justin tells his father at work that he was accepted into college]
Mike Cobb: Well, you know, what does it mean?
Justin Cobb: It means I want to go.
Mike Cobb: Just like that?
Justin Cobb: They want me to go to their summer-school thing. They want me to make up some math and language credits this summer.
[long pause]
Mike Cobb: [quiet, and sad Mike says] I was just getting used to you.
Mike Cobb: [stands up after another pause and taps on his work desk] I gotta go deal with this shipment.
[Mike stares at Justin before padding his head and walking out]
