Nearing Grace

Henry Nearing:
[caught sneaking home through his bedroom window] Don't you know it's impolite to enter your son's room without permission?

Shep Nearing:
Why you always sneaking in and out your window?

Henry Nearing:
It's easier for one to just go than to explain where one is going.

Shep Nearing:
And how come you always sound like you're quoting fortune cookies lately?

Henry Nearing:
I think answers always leads to more questions.

Merna Ash:
What do you want, Henry? I mean truly want?

Henry Nearing:
I want to be above all the thorns.

Grace Chance:
Nipples are very personal.

Henry Nearing:
I'm quittin' school, movin' into the basement, and not coming out again until I figure out the meaning o' life.

Merna Ash:
Being against the Beatles is like being against life itself.

Blair Nearing:
You know what Mom used to say, don't ya, that life is good, sometimes it's not, so drunk your cup of coffee while it's hot and get on with it.
