Wallace: By the way, did I mention I’m going camping this weekend? Talbot Island State Park. Well, it’s right on the beach, about 16 miles from Jacksonville proper.
Mina: No, you didn’t.
Wallace: Well, it was more or less a spur of the moment decision. You see I was thinking what is the most economical vacation that I . . . we can take on my limited budget and, well, it dawned on me I used to be a Boy Scout leader, and I had a tent, and a sleeping bad, and . . . well, actually, I didn’t think you’d want to come, what with the sand, sea creatures, and . . . like I said, it was more or less a spur of the moment decision.

Mike: I hear that duck quack, and I know it’s a duck. But sooner or later, it’s going to be ducks sending me secret messages, telling me . . . When will it be over? When will I stop being me?
Arthur: Who says you will?
Mike: Statistics. Someone with my family history . . .
Arthur: You’re not a statistic, Mike. You’re a person who can’t defend herself against her worst feelings. You feel the things most of us run away from, the things most of us… are just bottled up to feel.

Arthur: I don’t know if I can pull this off, Mike.
Mike: Pull what off?
Arthur: Arthur Newman.
Mike: Of course you can. Just look at him.
