Bear, Otter, and the Kid Quotes

“And you. Oh God, it all comes back to you. You scare me more than any of the rest. I’m scared that you’ll listen to me now and think badly of me. I’m scared that I’ll never be able to give you what you want, that you’ve built up this image of me in your mind that I will never be able to live up to. I’m scared that you’ll see this and leave, and I’ll be alone again.”

“You told me it was like the fight for me is all you’ve ever known. I think about that a lot and someplace inside me, some secret place that I can only look at for a little bit at a time, I know you’re right. I know this because I’ve been fighting for you to come home. I’ve been screaming and dying and praying for you to come home, and it’s taken so long, but now it’s like you never left, and I can’t seem to fit that together in my mind.”

“Things can’t be a certain way all the time just because you want them to be!” “Why not? Why do people care so much who you love? You’re not hurting anyone, right?” “Not that I know of,” [...] “And you’re not doing anything wrong?” “No, Ty.” He throws his hands up in the air. “Then who cares? I’ll never understand why people just won’t let others be who they are. It’s not like it’s affecting them in any way.”

That I would do anything He wanted me to do if only you would walk through my door. You were the only thing that made me feel safe when the earthquakes threatened to break me. I needed you to come home because when you’re not here, I don’t have a home.”

“So while I drove my little and planned his fantasy night of how I was going to give Otter the key to my soul (his words, not mine), I silently panicked and wrote lines of bad poetry. Normally, I am quite adept at writing poems and lyrics to songs I'l never sing, but this stuff was just atrocious. For example: I love you You love me Thank God for that I'm so happy And Ty's personal favorite (which he helped me on): Otter! Otter! Otter! Don't lead cows to slaughter I love you and I know I should've told you soon-a But you didn't buy the dolphin-safe tuna! TY asked me if I got the hidden message in his poem. I told him it was loud and clear.”
