This 'normal' thing's not gonna work. ~~Obviously.~~

The likes of us were never meant to be "normal", sweetheart.

I like being different. I like my bizarro, kooky world. Who the hell wants to be normal?

Certainly not me.

I shouldn't feel like I have to change who I am. I like me, just fine, the way I am.

No, you shouldn't. I like you just the way you are, as well.

See? You'd let me be me.

I would insist on it.

Yep, I like you.

I thought you might.

What's not to like?

I'm so glad you see that..

What, most people don't?

It's escaped the notice of a few.

Idiots, obviously.

Obviously.

Kind of what Adam said: We're not meant to be normal. We're not normal. I'm sorry, but it's the truth.

Well I know that, and you know that. Parkman's the one not listening.

He's hard headed, but he only wants what's best for the ones he cares about.

I get that, but come on! I'm a speedster! Going slow, trying to fit in with everybody else's speed? It's just not right!

Whenever we try to fit it, we stand out more. I'm not even out of Elementary School yet and I know that.

How'd you get so smart, kiddo?

I see a lot, that's all.

You sure do.

I don't think there's ever really anything that's normal, to be honest.

Amen to that. And I like it that way.

Yeah. Some just aren't made for the whole idea of it. And, honestly, the normal thing is really just a matter of perspective.

I think so too. Like...this is my normal. Everyone else's normal is freakishly slow, to me.

...Who wants to be normal. It's so...ordinary.

Yeah, I know. It's boring. I don't like it. I like my world the way it is.

Who is trying to tell you to make it otherwise?

Parkman says he wants a normal life.

He could always try to find it with someone else.

It'd be a hell of a lot easier than trying to change what he's got.

I'd imagine so, yes.

Yeah, well, normal's pretty boring anyway.

I do not think any of us could ever be "normal".
