I love so many of the quotes! It'd be hard to choose for me.

It is so hard to choose

This quote and scene was a good one as it was George opening up to Sam about some of the dark feelings he had when growing up, showing that he isn't alone in thinking some of the things he does.

George: I put a gun to my father's head once. Ever think like that? He was passed out. Had just been yelling at my mom over nothing. Under-cooked meat. I went to my room, I held the barrel right up to his ear, and then I chickened out again. Of course it was a BB gun but still it would have hurt like hell.

This scene was just so funny and Hayden nailed it

Sam: I think there has to be a door between where you cook and where you crap. Even in the bush - tribal people, you know, they have a place for both. Probably it's like a law. God! It's probably in the Bible. It's at least a building code violation.

This whole scene had me in tears

Sam: Whats wrong with your back? Do you have to have surgery on it or what? Because those pills you are taking are for a lot of pain. And you seem to be going though them pretty quick, that's all
George: Your not still taking any,are you?
Sam: No. But i count them. In a sock isn't exactly new,you know.
George: I'm having a problem with cancer.
Sam: I don't know what that means. What kind of problem?
George: The kind where there isn't any answer.
Sam: I still don't know what it means.
George: Sam I wanted us to... You know ,spend a few months together. Here. Sometimes things happen for a reason. Something bad to force something good.
Sam: So your dying. And you told mom today.
Sam: ****** you, ok ****** you.
Sam: You knew you were dying from the start?
George: We're all dying from the start. I just got pushed to the head of the line.
Sam: But you lied to me.
George: I would've lied to myself if i thought I'd believe it.
Sam: so this whole thing... this whole summer, having me here,was for your sake. You selfish ******. Having me here trying to get me to like you.
George: No,Sam I wasn't trying to get you to like me. I was trying to get you to love me.
Sam: Well,congratulations... Because you ********** pulled it off.

I also love this scene in the garage. So emotional.

Sam: I've been using since I was 12! You're also unbelievably stupid, you know that? You didn't give a **** about anything I did up until today.

George:Well I apologize for everything up until today! Today I give a ****!

Sam: Yeah, well, you're too effing late.

Tries to give him the construction gloves.

Sam: You can't make me do a thing.

george; Sit down

Sam: No!

George: SIT DOWN!

Sam: That's child abuse! You're in big **** now. People go to prison for what you just did to me.

George: My dad used to play this game... I never really understood what it was until after he was gone...

Sam: I was holding for somebody else; it wasn't even mine!

George: THE GAME was to make me smaller than he was. Smaller. Always smaller. No matter what! He could be almost invisible as a human being, but... I still had to be smaller. So that i-if I got good grades in school, then I was a pussy for not playing football, or-or if I... cut my hair for him, it was never short enough. Or if I shaved my head then I looked like a psycho. I never won the game, never! And if he couldn't... make me smaller with words...

Sam: ...I'll have to pay him back.

George: Sam... I won't ever hit you. Ever. I don't want you smaller. I want you to be happy and you're not. Not here with me, not home with your mother, not alone, not anywhere. You're what I was most of my life, Sam. I see it in your eyes, in your sleep, in your answer to everything! You're barely alive!

Sam: [whispers] I'm not even listening.
