Why are you still with me, Fry? CyFi asks after one of his body-shaking seizures. Any sane dude woulda taken off days ago. Who says I'm sane? Oh, you're sane, Fry. You're so sane, you scare me. You're so sane, it's insane.

We want what you no longer want.

Hope can be bruised and battered. It can be forced underground and even rendered unconscious, but hope cannot be killed.

It comes with being sixteen, Mom said. You teenagers, you go into a cocoon when you turn fifteen and don't come out for years. So they become butterflies when they finally come out? my little sister Christina asked. No, Mom said. They're still caterpillars, only now they're big fat caterpillars that smell.

...One thing you learn when you've lived as long as I have-people aren't all good, and people aren't all bad. We move in and out of darkness and light all of our lives. Right now, I'm pleased to be in the light.

The Admiral's using us, he says to the kids around him. Don't you see that? Most of the kids just shrug, but Hayden's there, and he never misses an opportunity to add his peculiar wisdom to a situation. I'd rather be used whole than in pieces, Hayden says.

And, added Mikey. she's my sister. The others looked at him for a moment, and broke out laughing. Yeah, yeah, Squirrel scoffed, and the McGill is my cousin. Now Allie burst out laughing, which made Mikey more annoyed. If the McGill was your cousin, Mikey said, I can guarantee he'd disown you.

It's called loitering, which is like littering with human beings as the trash.

Fine, Connor tells him. Think about stuff until your head explodes. But the only thing I want to think about is surviving to eighteen. I find your shallowness both refreshing and disappointing at the same time. Do you think that means I need therapy?

There's a set of unspoken rules we live by when it comes to fighting. We can't help it. It comes from living in a civilized world. Even when you're fighting your hardest, somewhere deep down, you know how far you can go. But today the rules are gone. Today I fight not to win, but to destroy.
