Crystal Falls: You all right? I mean, after what Billy did this morning?
Dean Stiffle: It's fine. I don't care.

Crystal Falls: You don't like to talk much, do you? I mean, or is it just that you don't like talking to me?
Dean Stiffle: What do you want?
Crystal Falls: I just want to say I'm sorry, that's all.
Dean Stiffle: Oh, you were apart of that?
Crystal Falls: No, but they're my friends. The guys who did it.
Dean Stiffle: Oh. Nice friends you have.
Crystal Falls: Well, better to have no friends at all?
Dean Stiffle: Honestly? Yeah. Yeah it is. Yeah.
Crystal Falls: You know that's why you get so much shit, right? The way you act like you're so much smarter than everyone else?
Dean Stiffle: Well, I don't torment people I don't know...
Crystal Falls: I thought you said you didn't care.
Dean Stiffle: I'm talking about Troy. But since you can't apologize to him for this morning, I guess apologizing to me is enough to make yourself feel better, is that right?
Crystal Falls: You know what? I was really wrong. You're definitely not smarter than the rest of us.
Dean Stiffle: Oh? And why is that?
Crystal Falls: ...Because Troy was my friend.
