Strange movie

Elijah Price: I followed the guy in the camouflage jacket. He had a silver gun with a black grip tucked in the back of his pants. Were you really injured in that car crash in college? Because I believe you faked it. I believe you took the opportunity to end your football career, no questions asked. And I think you did it, of all things, for a woman. I guess that makes sense. Football's what... just ten years? But love? Mmm. Now that's forever. And that little bit of sadness in the mornings you spoke of? I think I know what that is. Perhaps you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing.

David Dunn: Most guns have a black or silver handle. I had a 50/50 shot of getting it right.

Elijah Price: That's not what I witnessed.

David Dunn: Stop. Stop messing with my life, Elijah. My son almost shot me last night because he wanted to prove you were right.

Elijah Price: I never said you couldn't be killed. I never said that.

David Dunn: My wife was right.

Elijah Price: There have been three major disasters and you were the only one unharmed.

David Dunn: I have been sick. When I was a kid, I spent a week in the hospital getting better from pneumonia. I almost drowned. Two skinny little kids were fooling around in a pool dunking me and I swallowed some water. They didn't know it and it almost killed me. Heroes don't get killed like that. Normal people do, right? I don't need to see you anymore, okay? Please stay away from my family.

[Elijah is sitting alone in the living room of his apartment staring at the TV]

Elijah's Mother: No more sittin' in this room. I let it go on long enough.

Elijah Age 13: I'm not goin' out there any more. I'm not getting hurt again. This was the last time, I told you.

Elijah's Mother: You might fall between this chair and that television. If that's what God has planned for you, that's what's gonna happen. You can't hide from it sittin' in a room.

Elijah Age 13: They call me Mr. Glass at school 'cause I break like glass.

Elijah's Mother: You make this decision now... to be afraid... and you will never turn back. Your whole life, you will always be afraid.

[beat]

Elijah's Mother: I got a present for you.

Elijah Age 13: Why?

Elijah's Mother: Forget why. You want it or not?

[Elijah nods]

Elijah's Mother: Well, go get it then.

Elijah Age 13: Where is it?

Elijah's Mother: On a bench. Across the street.

[Elijah and his mother look at the window. There is a bright purple wrapped gift outside sitting on a bench]

Elijah Age 13: Someone's gonna take it.

Elijah's Mother: Then you better get out there soon.
