Nick: I had a nightmare last night where I started the train, sent it down the track, and missed it by a ton. And he had to spend five minutes running down the track to go after it.

And they say you can’t do math in dreams, but that’s bullshit, because I knew five minutes was 300 seconds. And 300 seconds is 300 years of OBT. 300 years he spent saving up that time, staying on the field, cooking me dinner, making me laugh. Being there for me every time I was fucked up about something. And like, it was like I could see those years just vanishing from history, just disappearing.

All because I fucked it up. Because I didn’t do the math right, forgot something, guessed wrong.

Mike: You can’t see it like that. When you and your husband took your vows, I guarantee there was nothing in there about being God.

It’s never been anyone’s responsibility to do what’s impossible. It’s not yours.

Manny: We’ve been here since ‘91, Nick.

Juice: c’mon y’all see it

Manny: I mean this might be the only chance we ever get. I bet this is the only fuckin’ chance we ever get.

Nick: Fuck …

Juice: go go go this is your shot fellas

no time but the present

Nine: I thought the saying was “no time like the present.”

Juice: i know what i said

Nine: We can’t pretend to truly know Eugene Jennings, but he strikes me as a person meant for another time.

Another world where freedom is true and unconditional, where property can be forgotten.

Sins can be forgiven. Failings can be embraced.

He never asked or expected to live forever.

Nine: Even now, it’s hard to believe he would stay within the lines. But I know he would have loved this American sandbox.

To run, to explore without consequence, to wander without meaning, to play. To love and enjoy our own world. It’s all he ever wanted.

Nine: It’s all we ever wanted.
