Quotes 

• Kieran Wilcox : Who's Brandon James?

  Noah Foster : Uh, he killed a bunch of students twenty years ago. He, um, he cut some others up.

  [showing Kieran a picture on his phone] 

  Noah Foster : This is him. Emma's dad got stabbed; he almost died. Brandon had Proteus syndrome, like the Elephant Man. People say he was born a monster, but I think he was bullied and beaten into one.

  Kieran Wilcox : And you know all this... why?

  Noah Foster : I don't know. Some guys like sports. I like serial killers. And Brandon James is my Dallas Cowboys. He was a classic case of the deformed kid who lived in the shed. Mom homeschooled him, dad was ashamed of him. His older brother, Troy, was the only one who cared about him. Whenever he went out, he wore this post-op surgical mask. They tried to fix his face a few times; never really worked.

  Riley Marra : What made him start killing people?

  Noah Foster : Rumor is he fell in love. His brother said Brandon was obsessed. Wrote her anonymous love letters, made her little carvings. Brandon found her at the Halloween dance. He got up the nerve to talk to her. It went okay at first. But then a bunch of drunk jocks jumped him. They thought they were saving her from a monster. After a lifetime of taking it, something in Brandon snapped. He killed five students by the time he was done. The manhunt ended at Wren Lake. The girl agreed to meet him.

  [flashback sequence] 

  Noah Foster : Nobody ever knew who she was.

• Emma Duval : What are you doing here in Lakewood?

  Kieran Wilcox : Uh... my mom and stepdad died six weeks ago in a car accident. So, living with my real dad seems marginally better than a state home.

  Emma Duval : I'm so sorry.

  Kieran Wilcox : I guess we all got our problems. But hey, you seem to have it all together. The perfect life.

  Emma Duval : Yeah. My perfect boyfriend slept with the deceased.

  Kieran Wilcox : Necrophilia's a problem.

  Emma Duval : Wow. You have a dark mind.
