[through her camcorder, we see Christy walk into Mateo's empty room - we see the view out the window, and then Christy turns to see Ariel sitting on the couch, grief in her eyes] Ariel: [whispering sadly] He never said goodbye... Christy: What? Ariel: [shakily] He never said goodbye.
Johnny: [about God] I asked him a favour once. I asked him to take me instead of him. He took us both. And look what he left in my place.
Mateo: This house is haunted, but it's not scary. It's a magic house. Ariel: Frankie believed in magic. Mateo: Who's that? Ariel: Frankie. Our brother. He died. Christy: He fell down some stairs when he was two. We thought he was okay... but there was something in his brain. A brain tumor. It was malignant. Ariel: [to Mateo] Are you crying? Are you? Ariel: It's okay, he's in Heaven now.
Mateo: I'm an alien, like E.T., from a different planet. My skin is too sensitive for this Earth. The air is too hard for me. Ariel: Are you going home like E.T.? Mateo: I suppose I'm going home.
Christy: What if I have it? Johnny: Have what? Christy: Mateo's disease. Johnny: That's not possible, Christy? Christy: How do you know that? Johnny: God won't let that happen to you. Christy: You don't believe in God.
Ariel: I'm scared. Johnny: Don't be scared. Ariel: Everyone's dying.
Johnny: Why would youse wanna be the same as everybody else? Ariel: 'Cause everybody else goes trick-or-treating. Sarah: What's that? Ariel: It's what they do here for Halloween. Johnny: What do you mean? Like, help the Halloween party? Christy: No. Not help the Halloween party. You don't ask for help in America. You demand it. Trick-or-treat- you don't ask, you threaten. Sarah: You can't do that on our street. Christy: Why not? Sarah: Because you can't threaten drug addicts and transvestites, that's why.
Christy, Ariel: Trick or treat! Mateo: GO AWAY!
Mateo: You the kids from upstairs? Christy: Yeah. Mateo: Is this Halloween? Christy: Yeah. Mateo: Hm. Where you from? Christy: Ireland. Mateo: You came all the way to America to trick or treat?
Johnny: What's wrong with me Mateo? I can't laugh, I can't cry, I think I'm going insane!
Ariel: What are transvestites? Christy: A man who dresses up as a woman. Ariel: For Halloween? Christy: No, all the time. All the time. Ariel: Why? Christy: It's just what they do here, OK?
Immigration Officer #1: What's your name little girl? Ariel: Ariel. Immigration Officer #1: [to Christy] And who are you? Sarah: She's Christy. Immigration Officer #1: What age are you Christy? Ariel: She's ten. Immigration Officer #1: Welcome to America.
Ariel: Cool! Christy: Cool? Where'd you hear that? Ariel: I don't know, I just heard it. Christy: Ugh, you're already American, it's disgusting!
Christy: Listening to my mom and dad I was scared we weren't going to get across the border. And if I didn't talk to Frankie, how we're going to get into America? Please Frankie, please. Please help us I said.
Christy: It's not "José, can you see", it's "Oh say, can you see".
