You Can Count On Me Quotes

 Terry:
You mind if I ask you a personal question?
Rudy:
I don't know.
Terry:
Do you like it here, I mean in Scottsville?
Rudy:
Yeah.
Terry:
Why?
Rudy:
I don't know, my friends are here, I like the scenery... I don't know.
Terry:
I know, I know, it's just so... there's nothing to do here.
Rudy:
Yes, there is.
Terry:
No, there isn't, man. It's narrow. It's dull. It's a dull, narrow town full of dull, narrow people who don't know anything except what things are like right around here. They have no perspective whatsoever, no scope. They might as well be living in the 19th century 'cause they have no idea what's going on, and if you try and tell 'em that they wanna fucking kill you.
Rudy:
What are you talking about?
Terry:
I have no idea... you're a good kid.

 Ron:
You know, Terry, a lot of people come to see me with all kinds of problems. Drugs, alcohol, marital problems, sexual problems, health problems
Terry:
Great job you got.
Ron:
Well... I like it. Because even in this little town, I feel like what I do is very connected with the real center of people's lives. I'm not saying I'm always Mr. Effective, but I don't feel like my life is off to the side of what's important. You know? I don't feel my happiness and comfort are based on closing my eyes to trouble within myself or trouble in other people. I don't feel like a negligible little scrap, floating around in some kind of empty void, with no sense of connectedness to anything around me except by virtue of whatever little philosophies I can scrape together on my own...
Terry:
Well
Ron:
Can I ask you, Terry: Do you think your life is important?
Terry:
You mean - Like, me personally, my individual life?
Ron:
Yeah.
Terry:
Well... I'm not sure - What do you mean? It's important to me. I guess. And like, to my, you know, the people who care about me...
Ron:
But do you think it's important?
Terry:
I -
Ron:
Do you think it's important in the scheme of things? Not just because it's yours, or because you're somebody's brother. Because I don't really get the impression that you do.
Terry:
Well, I don't think... I don't particularly think anybody's life has any particular importance besides whatever - you know - whatever we arbitrarily give it. Which is fine. I mean we might as well... I think I'm as important as anybody else...
Terry:
I don't know: A lot of what you're saying has a real appeal to me, Ron. A lot of the stuff they told us when we were kids... But I don't want to believe something or not believe it because I might feel bad. I want to believe it because I think it's true or not... I'd like to think that my life is important... Or that it's connected to something important...
Ron:
Well, isn't there any way for you to believe that without calling it God, or religion, or whatever term it is you object to?
Terry:
Yes. I believe that.
