Quotes 

• Leo Roth : [to Charlie]  Hey. This is for you. I didn't wanna say the reason why up on the roof in front of everyone. When I was having my big surgery, you spoke to me. You know, when I was under anesthesia, and you said something that only tonight I've become to understand. You said, "Luck isn't getting what you want. It's surviving what you don't want." And man, I'm surviving.

  [puts a red bracelet around Charlie's wrist] 

  Leo Roth : I only hope that I can be half the man you are, my friend.

• Jordi Palacios : You never answered my question. When I asked how much it hurts.

  Leo Roth : Okay, it does hurt, but not in the way you think it will. They give you awesome painkillers for the physical pain. What hurts most is... is not that-that it's gone. What hurts, is... is remembering that it was ever there. But then, with time, that memory stops hurting too.

  Jordi Palacios : I won't be me anymore.

  Leo Roth : You will be you! You will always be you. You might even be more you.

  Jordi Palacios : How?

  Leo Roth : Because, and I'm gonna let you in on a secret now, because your body is you, your soul is you. And they could never cut into your soul.
