Quotes 

• Stan : You don't talk like a kid.

  Young Gil Buckman : Yeah, well I'm not really a kid.

  Stan : You're not a duck.

  Young Gil Buckman : This is a memory of when I was a kid. I'm 35 now. I have kids of my own. You don't even really exist. You're an amalgam.

  Stan : A what?

  Young Gil Buckman : A combination of several ushers my dad left me with over the years. I combined them into one memory.

  Stan : Why?

  Young Gil Buckman : This was a great symbolic moment of my life. My father dumping me with you... it's why I swore things would be different with my kids. It's my dream. Strong, happy, confident kids.

  Stan : That's great, that's great. You know, you - you got a lovely family, and I'm a god-damn amalgam!
