Movie: Runaway Highway
Aidan Montgomery: Coming from a family of bigwigs they don't really understand the concept of heartbreak. So I just had to get out of the house. And, thankfully, long drives are really good for the soul. So that's how I found myself out here just driving this stretch of road. I started calling it 'Runaway Highway'.
Belle Dawson: Nice. I like that.
Aidan Montgomery: Yeah, me too. It seems to have stuck. Because all the people that I meet out here they seem to be either lost or running away from something. It just kinda seemed to fit. And helping them get to where they need to go has really helped me integrate back into the real world. I really feel like I've found my lifeline out here.

To a funeral cause last week my sister fucking died!
Movie: Runaway Highway
Belle Dawson: -talking about Breanna- She had a condition. And everyone just wrote her off and said she was a lost cause, except for me. I took on all that responsibility, and all of her pain, and anguish and loneliness, and I took it on like it was my own. Like my cousin Lisa. I've only seen her maybe three times in the past five years, and every time she came to visit was when Breanna was out of town. And she should know better. They all should know better. I couldn't just sit there in that crammed memorial with all of these fake people just crying and saying how much they miss her and they wished that she was still here, but why? Why? So they could ignore her? So they could just pretend like none of her problems were real. Oh what I did... it might have been a little bit crazy and incoherent but I am the only one in that mess of lunatics that deserves a final goodbye with my sister!
Movie: Runaway Highway
Brian: I just flashed on something my mom said when I was little. We had a death in our family and it high me really hard. I guess she was trying to prepare me for life. She said that life gets dark for everyone at some point. And it always just comes out of nowhere and hits you in the face like a hammer. And it distracts you so much that you just get lost in the pain. And I don't think I realized till right now, but it's at these moments that you have to remember everything that you've forgotten. Life feels like such a pile of shit right now. But if I wake up tomorrow morning my children will still be there. I'll still have that light in my life. And... I just think we just have to remember that while we have these silly excuses for life that we make sure they're worth being remembered, worth becoming someone else's loss.

Belle Dawson: I'm just gonna give you a little perspective here. Often times people are really really good at fooling themselves. And when we think we have a lot of problems, we don't. And then when we do have a lot of problems, we don't complain about them in the same way. You get it?
Lexie: What the fuck does that mean?
