Boyhood

Bill Welbrock: You don't like me much, do you Mason? [pause] That's okay, neither do I. Nicole: You know how everyone's always saying seize the moment? I don't know, I'm kind of thinking it's the other way around, you know, like the moment seizes us.

Dad: [Mason Jr. bowls a gutterball] Alright, don't worry about it. Mason: Wish we could use the bumpers. Dad: Bumpers are for kids! Y'know, what're you, two years old? You don't want the bumpers. Life doesn't give you bumpers.

Samantha: [as the family leaves their house for the last time before moving] Goodbye, yard! Goodbye, crepe myrtle! Goodbye, mailbox! Goodbye, box of stuff Mommy won't let us take with us but we don't want to throw away. Goodbye, house, I'll never like Mommy as much for making us move! Mom: [dismayed and frusterated with her daughter's boastful attitude] Samantha! Why don't you say goodbye to that little (bleeeeeped) attitude, okay? 'Cause we're not taking that in the car.

Mason: Mom, do you still love Dad? Mom: I still love your father... but that doesn't mean it was healthy for us to stay together. Mason: What if after we move he's trying to find us, and he can't? Mom: Oh, that won't be a problem. He can call Grandma and she'll tell him, or he can call Information. We won't won't be hard to find. Mason: Is he still in Alaska? Mom: Well, that's what your uncle says. [chuckles] Mason: Probably taming polar bears or something. Mom: Yeah, well, I hope they're taming him.

Mason: Dad? ...There's no, like, real magic in the world, right? Dad: What do you mean? Mason: You know, like elves and stuff. People just made that up. Dad: Oh, I don't know. I mean, what makes you think that elves are any more magical than something like... like a whale? You know what I mean? What if I told you a story about how underneath the ocean, there was this giant sea mammal that used sonar and sang songs and it was so big that its heart was the size of a car and you could crawl through the arteries? I mean, you'd think that was pretty magical, right? Mason: Yeah. But, like... right this second, there's, like, no elves in the world, right? Dad: [beat] No. Technically, no elves.
