- Steve: This is delicious. This dirty shitty river, this beer, this time. Wouldn't change it. The clock just... keeps tickin' down, and the lower that number gets, you realize how fucking amazing now is. The present is a miracle, bruh.
- Steve: [quoting Einstein] People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between the past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
- Dennis: She had this book on her nightstand. Can't remember what it was called but something like, facing death with a smile, or some bullshit. While we were waiting for the coroner, I thumbed through it, and there's this passage about how we're all most likely to die. Brianna, she asked me about that, and it's like a third of us will be prolonged in a bed, a third of us will be a sharp decline in a bed, and a third of us will be a roller coaster or organ failure, again, in a bed, being treated. And the tiniest percentage... is sudden death. And that's our business, man. We... We're seeing the exceptional ones.
- Dr. Kermani: Uh, here, you drop the needle on the song you wanna play. But they're all always there. These tracks are like time, right? Synchronic is the needle.
- Steve: But then I found out I was dyin'. My brain... Has a tumor. And all those things just seem trivial. That there's meanin' in the things I do have, and I want to spend the time I have preservin' 'em. I've been in treatment and I found out it's workin', but... When you're starin' down at the end, you realize there are things that are far worse than death. And none of those things are what you were upset about.
- Dennis: You know the real tragedy of meeting the love of your life? If it's happened, it's behind you. It's not gonna happen again. And although it's wonderful, what's ahead of you, it's really, really hard.
- Steve: And in that moment, seeing what years of barely surviving is like, this man, probably 10 years younger than me but looking decades older despite his Paleo diet, that I realized... The past fucking sucks, man!
- Steve: [following a bad trip back in time] Dick-ass Conquistador!
- [flips off the spot he time traveled in]
- Steve: [brooding after his dog Hawking is lost in the past] Man, fuck back to the future... past was hell... make it all cozy and shit
