Matt: There's something wrong with Andrew.

Andrew: [attacking his father] I could crush you! I could crush you!

Andrew: [to Steve] See, it's different, 'cause you've always had friends, and people want to talk to you and be around you. I never had any of that. I mean, before this, I barely even hung out with Matt, and he's my cousin. We were close when were little, but- I don't know. In high school, everything changed.

Richard: How you getting to school?
Andrew: I don't know what you mean.
Richard: Don't bullshit me, you idiot. Matt doesn't come. He didn't drive up. You leave the house. Who the hell is giving you rides to school?

Steve: Yes, it was the black guy this time.

[while Andrew is lying in a hospital bed, his father comes in]
Richard: Your mother's dead. She died last night while I was out looking for you. I came home and, uh... she was there in her bed. If I just could have been there more. You know, I was always there for her when you were out screwing around... and this one time... this... one time that she needed me, and you took me away. I want you to apologize to me. I know you can hear me, so I want you to sit up right now and apologize to me. You selfish, selfish asshole. This is your fault! You di...

Andrew: I've been doing a lot of reading, you know? Like, online about, like, just evolution and natural selection and how like there's this thing, right? It's called the apex predator, right? And basically what this is, is the strongest animal in the ecosystem, right? And as human beings, we're considered the apex predator but only because smaller animals can't feed on us because of weapons and stuff, right? A lion does not feel guilty when it kills a gazelle, right? You do not feel guilty when you squash a fly... and I think that means something. I just think that really means something.
