Dalton Lambert: You know, there is one more weird thing about me. Ever since my coma, I’ve been afraid of the dark.

Professor Armagan: Any fool can learn technique, even master it. It doesn’t mean anything if it doesn’t come from inside. I am not interested in the rules of art. We are going to break the rules. Then I want you to break them again. See how broken you can get.
Professor Armagan: Draw whatever your soul brings forth, an experience that defines you. You’ve got to be willing to dredge up your ugliest, innermost thoughts.
Dr. Bower: [as Josh is getting an MRI scan] There’s someone with you.
Josh Lambert: What? What did you say?
Josh Lambert: All the lights went out, and I got stuck in there, man. And I saw…
Dr. Bower: Mr. Lambert, you’ve been asleep for fifteen minutes. You went right out. Your MRI went perfectly.
Dr. Bower: There’s nothing physically wrong with you. No growths, or spots on the brain. Nothing to be concerned about. That’s good news, Mr. Lambert.
Josh Lambert: Yeah. No, I know. I guess I was just hoping for something real. Something that could explain this fog.
Chris Winslow: [to Dalton] Got my new room assignment today, so, alas, no more panty parties. But consolation, I’m in 323 now, right above you. So be cautious, young man, lest I hear you slap your sausage in the dead of night.
Server Frat Boy: May I offer you some diaper pudding?
Dalton Lambert: Party’s lame.
Chris Winslow: Confirmed. So let’s go upstairs and look through everyone’s s**t.
Nick the D**k: One of you peckerwoods is about to get the hammer drop.

Chris Winslow: Oh. Whatever. You think I care what Vineyard Vines thinks? He should be so lucky.
Dalton Lambert: Something’s happening to me. I’m seeing things, crazy things.
Chris Winslow: [to Dalton] You really need to lay off the frat juice.
Dalton Lambert: I feel like I’m getting closer to something. Or something’s getting closer to me.
Professor Armagan: This balance between light and dark is what we’re after. Get ready. Your own experiences shape your artwork. Embrace them. Use them. Sink deep into the darkness of memory.
Dalton Lambert: A red door.
Foster Lambert: A purple pecker.
Dalton Lambert: Come on, man. Doesn’t that mean anything to you? A red door?
Foster Lambert: You sound weirder than usual.
Foster Lambert: Is this what happens when you go to college? You get all cryptic and s**t?
Dalton Lambert: I guess.
Foster Lambert: Well, I’m not going then.
Chris Winslow: So, after the whole spooky dream-not-a-dream thing the other night, I started thinking, “Yeah, okay. Dalton’s a weirdo. But he’s not insane, right?”
