    Sam Shepard
    “Weston: Look at my outlook. You don't envy it, right?
    Wesley: No.
    Weston: That's because it's full of poison. Infected. And you recognize poison, right? You recognize it when you see it?
    Wesley: Yes.
    Weston: Yes, you do. I can see that you do. My poison scares you.
    Wesley: Doesn't scare me.
    Weston: No?
    Wesley: No.
    Weston: Good. You're growing up. I never saw my old man's poison until I was much older than you. Much older. And then you know how I recognized it?
    Wesley: How?
    Weston: Because I saw myself infected with it. That's how. I saw me carrying it around. His poison in my body.”
