"You once said, 'The ending isn't more important than the moments leading to it'…Do you still believe in that?" "…The truth is, I never actually felt that way. The ending…it always felt more important to me…Maybe we're just built that way…Maybe we're just not built to be in it for the moments. But it's because of that…I thought it was especially important. To remember that phrase, so I could at least remind myself of it."

"Then why did you even give this to me?!" "…I don't know. I didn't know what to do. On one hand, I guess just…I just didn't want to disappear. This really wasn't meant for you. But I guess I…I just wanted to leave you something, too. I wanted to build you a garden."

"You think you're so special? You are not special, Neil. None of us are here forever. Nobody could stay forever. Not for themselves, not for their loved ones. And nobody can ask anybody else to stay forever. But to stay as long as one wants, for as long as one can stay. That's the most anybody could ask of anybody else."

"Then...is that what you're asking me? Well, in that case...Yeah, I'd like to stay in that garden. For as long as you want me to...and for as long as I can."

"We fulfill wishes. We give meaning to people's lives. What we do...It has to be more than just that of an imaginary friend." "It's a lot more elaborate, for sure. But for someone who had to fight just to let go of fantasy and embrace reality, maybe our existence was merely an unwelcomed amplifier. A reminder of the make-believe, the imaginary, and the endless possibilities that make reality seem less than what it is."
