My Soul to Take Quotes
A serial killer returns to his hometown to stalk seven children who share the same birthday as the date he was allegedly put to rest.
Bug: I am the condor. The Keeper of the Souls. I eat death for breakfast. I live in a house of blood and I accept that. That's all a man can do. I was ready to be arrested that night. I wasn't ready for what happened instead. Leah had told them everything and I was celebrated as a hero. Alex Dunkelman killed his stepfather, a cop, a mother, and five of the Riverton Seven. And I alone had stopped him from killing more. I didn't feel like a hero at all. But if it makes Riverton feel safe at night, I'll fake that I'm their hero. And I'll fake it good. Alex wouldn't have it any other way.
Bug: I'm scared.
Alex: We're sixteen, Bug. Like it or not, we're men now.
Bug: I don't feel like a man!
Alex: No one does, that's why you gotta fake it.
Bug: Fake being a man to be a man?
Alex: That's the way it works. You can't run, you have to face your fear like a man.
Bug: Even though I'm not a man?
Alex: Because you're not a man. Listen, the better you fake it, the better man you are.
Bug: Just fake it.
Alex: Fake it good. Like if you're scared, act like you don't give a shit, or if somebody hurts you, say, "Thank you very much, that felt wonderful."
Bug: [practicing] Thanks, Brandon, that-I can't raise my arm, feels good.
Alex: Yeah, there you go.
Bug: Is that all you got, Brandon? I mean... I feel downright... cheated!
Alex: I'm amazed that you're getting this so quick, it's tricky stuff.
Bug: I was faking what I did.
Alex: You were?
Bug: [nods] Completely.
Alex: Yeah, but you were faking it good.
Bug: I was?
Alex: Abso-fuckin'-lutely. You now have permission to shave.
Alex: We're sixteen, Bug. Like it or not, we're men now.

Brandon: [on cell phone] Brittany, look, I know you're there. I can hear you walking. I understand that you don't want to talk. I probably disgust you. It's okay. I disgust myself sometimes. I know I'm a pig. I can't help it. No, pigs are nicer. Actually, I'm just what you said. I'm a fucking crotch dog. I'm sorry.
The Ripper: [the Ripper's voice appears on the other line] It's too late to be sorry.
Brandon: Who is this?
The Ripper: Someone from your past. You wouldn't remember.
Brandon: Put Brittany on, please.
The Ripper: She's not here.
Brandon: Well, where is she?
The Ripper: Where you're going to go.
Brandon: I'm gonna go to the church.
The Ripper: No, you're not.
Brandon: What do you mean, "No, I'm not?"
The Ripper: Think hotter.
Brandon: Miami?
The Ripper: Try hell!
