“It's much easier to think someone's the answer if you haven't seen them for years. Because they're not really real. People can't be answers. They're just more questions.”

— Charlie Covell, Alyssa, Jessica Barden, imdb.com

“It's like we're on the edge of the world. Like we're safe. Only, we're not.”

— Charlie Covell, Alyssa, Jessica Barden, imdb.com

“I think being angry and sad at the same time really turns me on.”

— Charlie Covell, Alyssa, Jessica Barden, imdb.com

“I get these moments when I have to lie down because everything feels sort of too much. And I look up and see the blue, or the grey, or the black, and I feel myself melting into it. And, for like a split second, I feel free and happy. Innocent. Like a dog or an alien. Or a baby.”

— Charlie Covell, Alyssa, Jessica Barden, imdb.com
