  Joel Cobb : I don't know.

  Justin Cobb : Well, don't you ever think about this stuff? Doesn't it ever freak you out?

  Joel Cobb : Everything freaks you out.

  Justin Cobb : You don't even care. You have it so easy, Joel.

  Joel Cobb : I hate it when you say shit like that.

  Justin Cobb : Like what?

  Joel Cobb : Like you're the only one with problems. You ever think maybe you're so busy being weird, that I have to step up and be normal? Everyone's worried about you. All the bullshit you get yourself into.

  Justin Cobb : Why didn't you ever just say anything? I'm sorry.

• [Justin draws while his little brother Joel bothers him with questions about girls] 

  Joel Cobb : You never even had a girlfriend.

  Justin Cobb : So what?

  Joel Cobb : You don't even hang out with girls. You just, like, hang out with your nerdy friends.

  Justin Cobb : No, I - I do hang out with girls.

  Joel Cobb : Really? But how come you never bring any over here? Or I never, like, see you walking with any, or anything? I just see you walking by yourself.

  Justin Cobb : Why do you care, Joel?

  Joel Cobb : I don't know. 'Cause I'm bored. All the guys in your grade have probably fucked girls. You haven't even kissed one.

  Justin Cobb : Leave.

  Joel Cobb : No.

  Joel Cobb : How?

  Justin Cobb : He said he'd help me. And then he just fucked me up, okay? Joel. Just this once! Please.

  Joel Cobb : Goddamn it.
