David Sheff : Do you know how much I love you? If you could take all the words in the language, it still wouldn't describe how much I love you. And if you could gather all those words together, it still wouldn't describe what I feel for you. What I feel for you is everything. I love you more than everything.

David Sheff : [Nic sees his father's work on the desk] He will sometimes send you funny emails. He prefers spaghetti over penne. Have you seen my son? Have you seen my beautiful boy? Tell him I miss him.

David Sheff : So how you doing?
Nic Sheff : I'm doing great, you know, just, um... um... just doing what needs to be done, and...
David Sheff : What does that mean?

David Sheff : Why don't we just have lunch and talk? We can do that, right? Please. You think that you have this under control.
Nic Sheff : I understand why I do things. It doesn't make me any different. I'm attracted to craziness, and you're just embarrassed 'cause I was like... you know, I was like this amazing thing, like your special creation or something, and you don't like who I am now!
David Sheff : Yeah? Who are you, Nic?
Nic Sheff : This is me, Dad! Here, this is who I am!
David Sheff : This is not you! This is not you, Nic!

David Sheff : There are moments that I look at him, this kid that I raised, who I thought I knew inside and out, and I wonder who he is. He's been doing all sorts of drugs, but he's addicted to crystal meth, which seems, uh, to be the worst of all of them. And I guess I'm here because I just want to know all that I can about all of it. Know your enemies, right? So, my two big questions are, what is it doing to him, and what can I do to help him?
