Quotes 

• Rev. Eric Camden : [to Matt]  What are you doing with this stuff?

  Matt Camden : A friend at school gave gave 'em to me. Their just natural energy boosters made from herbs or something.

  Rev. Eric Camden : Not everything that is natural is good for you. Cocaine is extracted from the cope of plant. Heroin and Morphine come from natural plants and extracts. Natural doesn't always mean good!

  Matt Camden : Dad, calm down, okay. Check the bottle, it's sealed I didn't take any. I was just looking for a way to keep awake so I could keep studying.

  Rev. Eric Camden : Oh, you'll stay awake because the main ingredient in these pills is Ephedrine which is just a chemical process away from from being Methaphetamine.

  Matt Camden : Wait, I don't get it, I mean the guy who gave these pills bought them from a health-food store. I mean if this stuff is so dangerous, then why is it not illegal?

  Rev. Eric Camden : Because Ephedrine is classified as a food, not a drug, so it's not regulated the way it should be. Ephedrine-based supplements are illegal in 13 states. You know that it took to make them illegal? People died.

  [Mary enters the room] 

  Rev. Eric Camden : What's wrong?

  Mary Camden : I took those pills.

  Rev. Eric Camden : You took these pills?

  Mary Camden : No, I didn't get the pills from Matt, I got them from Diane who gets them from her father. I thought everyone was taking them.

  Rev. Eric Camden : I think I better talk to Diane's father. Throw them out.

  Matt Camden : Gladly.
