Quotes

John Leary: Jackie, my heart's beginning to beat with the monster's heart.

John Leary: [about getting his job back] You have to trust me.

John Leary: [to the neighborhood kids] There's no such thing as monsters. You all know that, don't you? Monsters exist only in ourselves. They live in the darkest chambers of our hearts. They never actually come out into the world. Unless of course a metal light appears in the sky. But when's the last time you saw that? So why don't we try and be adults about this and run along home, okay?
