  • I'm not an axe murderer.
  • If you want to know what is going on, you have to listen to me! You have to, because you don't know, the fucking enormity of what we're dealing with!
  • AGNES! I don't believe that my presence here is accidental.
  • Put it together, the pieces'll fit, okay?

Dialogue

edit
Peter: I am the drone.
Agnes: I am the mother queen.
Agnes: You tried to kill me.
Jerry Goss: That was a rough one, yeah. I was bad to drink back then.
Agnes: Oh, back before you found God?
Jerry Goss: Who was that boy up in here last night?
Agnes: Have you been watching my place?
Agnes: You don't sound like you're from Oklahoma.
Peter: I'm from Beaver.
Agnes: Well, we're all from beaver, ain't we?
Peter: [on why he hasn't been with a woman for a long time] I just decided it wasn't worth it anymore.
Agnes: What wasn't?
Peter: You have a centre right? A place inside of you that's just you, that hasn't been spoiled... And I think it's really important to try and keep that space sacred. In some sense, on some level, but... sex or relationships cloud that space... or, they cloud me I guess, they make it difficult to be just me and not have to worry about... being somebody else. I sound like a big asshole, don't I.
R.C.: Oh my God! You think an aphid did that?
Peter: I know what did it to me!
R.C.: Aphids can't bite!
Peter: You know a lot about aphids?
R.C.: No?
Peter: Do you know anything about aphids?
R.C.: No!
Peter: We do.
Dr. Sweet: Bugs are a fairly common delusion among paranoids. Bugs, spiders, snakes... Spiders. You haven't had any snakes, have you?
Agnes: You're the first.
Dr. Sweet: Have you at least entertained the idea that the bugs are a delusion?
Agnes: How do I know you're not a delusion?
Dr. Sweet: Touché.
Agnes: I couldn't have done that! I didn't-- do that! Unless, unle-- Unless, unle... Unless I, like, know something that I don't know I know, or I've got something I don't know I've got.
Peter: What don't you know?
Agnes: What? I don't know! There's a lot I don't know!
Peter: What don't. You know?
Agnes: I don't-- I, I, I-- Jesus!
Peter: THINK, AGNES! What don't you know?!
