Dean Fleischer Camp: Dean

Quotes 

• Marcel : Guess why I smile a lot.

  Dean : Why?

  Marcel : Uh, 'cause it's worth it.

• Lesley Stahl : Marcel, how long has it been since you've seen your family?

  Marcel : [sadly]  I couldn't tell you but a space in my heart gets bigger and louder everyday.

  Lesley Stahl : [nods; turns to Dean]  Dean, do you know how long?

  Dean : It's two years.

  Lesley Stahl : Two years?

  Dean : Yeah.

  Marcel : [perks up]  Oh, that's nice to know!

• Dean : Do you feel angry?

  Marcel : Uh, I just feel angry that we didn't have a better goodbye.

  Dean : Who would you say goodbye to?

  Marcel : I'd like to say goodbye to my neighbors, the Costas. Goodbye, the Costas, even though we had a language barrier. You were my neighbors. You always liked to garden. Goodbye, Richard, you were the worst singer in our class, but I loved how you let me cut you in line. Goodbye, Anka, your sense of timing is one of the worst. Bye, Sandra, you were my favorite author. Goodbye, Mrs. Kim. The time that you ate a pepper flake and it made you fly into the wall was one of the funniest yet most serious accidents any of us ever witnessed, and you bore it with great grace and bravery. Goodbye, Brad. Thank you so much for rolling that marble into my bread room. I still keep it to this day.
