Quotes 

• G. H. Scott : A conspiracy theory about a shadowy group of people running the world is far to lazy of an explanation... especially when the truth is much scarier.

  Amanda Sandford : What is the truth?

  G. H. Scott : No one is in control. No one is pulling the strings.

• G. H. Scott : There is no going back to normal.

• Ruth Scott : It's just us now, isn't it?

  G. H. Scott : What do you mean by that?

  Ruth Scott : What I mean is, if the shit goes down, do you trust these people that are in our house? We already know the wife has no chill. That boy was sneaking pictures of me by the pool. That little girl keeps staring into the woods like Donnie Darko, and I'm pretty sure the husband wants to fuck me.

  G. H. Scott : How do you know that?

  Ruth Scott : He's not actually going to do anything, he's not "that guy." But did he want to? Abso-fucking-lutely. My point remains, I don't trust them.

  G. H. Scott : I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, if that's what you're asking.

  Ruth Scott : I'm asking for you to remember that if the world falls apart,trust should not be doled out easily to anyone, especially White people. Even mom would agree with me on that.

  G. H. Scott : I got it.

  Ruth Scott : Do you? Because we're sleeping in the basement of our own house for the second night in a row. Just what exactly was the point of letting them back into the house?

  G. H. Scott : It was the right thing to do.

  Ruth Scott : And that right there. That's what's going to fuck us in the end.
