• [Elijah is sitting alone in the living room of his apartment staring at the TV] 

  Elijah's Mother : No more sittin' in this room. I let it go on long enough.

  Elijah Age 13 : I'm not goin' out there any more. I'm not getting hurt again. This was the last time, I told you.

  Elijah's Mother : You might fall between this chair and that television. If that's what God has planned for you, that's what's gonna happen. You can't hide from it sittin' in a room.

  Elijah Age 13 : They call me Mr. Glass at school 'cause I break like glass.

  Elijah's Mother : You make this decision now... to be afraid... and you will never turn back. Your whole life, you will always be afraid.
