Me: They locked you up for that?
Alejandro: 74 months
Me: That's just... wrong.
Alejandro: I couldn't see my family or nothing.
Me: But now we are here. And we got to sit on this pier and stare into the dark see, and look at these stars... together... as friends. And now I know your story. I'm gonna remember this story.
Alejandro: If you ever need anything in this city... you call Alejandro. Friends have to look out for eachother.

Rob: You gotta come with me right now.
Me: Okay
Rob: Have you ever seen stars like this in your life?
Me: .....
Rob: Let's find a place to lay down.
Me: It's like I can touch them. Do you ever wonder what they would look like from space?

Me: Did you see that shooting star?
Rob: Yeah
Me: Why does it always surprise you when they race across the sky?
Rob: Because it is always beautiful
