"But I woke up in the dark. Astronomers think the universe is 18 billion light-years across. If you continue to walk 18 billion light-years away, there will be nothing. What will happen? Light years, and still nothing, because the light from the universe is far weaker than the faintest star, extremely cold, and infinitely dark. Sometimes, if I wake up in the dark, I'm really scared, like I left this world and I'm never coming back"
"You hold on to this when you sleep, and if you wake up scared. You say "Wait a minute, I'm holding on to Erik's shoe. Why do I keep grabbing Erik's smelly sneakers and walking a trillion light years? I must still be safe on Earth in my sleeping bag, and Erik must be there.”

The Cure quotes

  • Dexter: This is stupid.

    Erik: Yeah? Well, about twenty years ago there was this guy. He noticed some mold growing on his bread and he started feeding it to people. Everybody said he was stupid. You know what it turned out to be? Aspirin!

  • Erik: Hey! What would you do if I come over there and whopped your ass?

    Dexter: How long would that take?

    Erik: 'Bout 10 seconds.

    Dexter: I'd wait till you're finished and then I'd continue working on my mud fort.

    Erik: You mean you'd just let me beat you up?

    Dexter: I'd try to stop you but I probably wouldn't be able to, I'm not very big.

    Erik: Well in that case it'd only take 5 seconds.

    Dexter: So is that what you're gonna do?

    Erik: Maybe later.

    Dexter: Hello? You still there?
