Bernie LaPlante: You remember when I said how I was gonna explain about life, buddy? Well the thing about life is, it gets weird. People are always talking ya about truth. Everybody always knows what the truth is, like it was toilet paper or somethin', and they got a supply in the closet. But what you learn, as you get older, is there ain't no truth. All there is is bullshit, pardon my vulgarity here. Layers of it. One layer of bullshit on top of another. And what you do in life like when you get older is, you pick the layer of bullshit that you prefer and that's your bullshit, so to speak.
Bernie LaPlante: [Talking to his son over the payphone] There's things you have to do - which reminds me - you know this hero business? One of the things you learn as-as you grow - as you grow older is that life gets very complicated... weird, actually. It's, you know, like people aren't exactly like they seem... nuthin' is. Life gets un-un-un- unbelievable... Uh, it gets normal as you get older.
