Fences

"You're the only decent thing that ever happened to me, Rose."

"Some people build fences to keep people out, and other people build fences to keep people in."

Cory: "What did you ever get me?"
Troy: "Your feet! Them bones, that pumping heart!"
Cory: "You ain't never done nothing but hold me back, afraid I was going to be better than you!"

Rose: "Why, Troy? Why?"
Troy: "He ought to know it was time."
Rose: "I don't want to know, dammit!"

"Rose, I got something to tell you. I don't know how to tell you this."

"You can't be nobody but who you are, Troy. That's all you got to measure yourself against the world out there."

"I don't want him to be like me. I want to him to get as far away from my life as he possibly can get."

"Cory's just trying to fill out your shoes."
