"Nobody notices when we leave. I mean, the moment when we really choose to go. At best you might feel a whisper, or the wave of a whisper, undulating down. My name is Salmon, like the fish."

"I was 14 years old, when I was murdered, on December 6, 1973. I was here for a moment. And then I was gone. I wish you all a long and happy life."

"I was in the blue horizon between heaven and earth. The days were unchanging and every night I dream the same dream. The smell of damp earth. The scream no one heard. The sound of my heart beating like a hammer against cloth and I would hear them calling, the voices of the dead. I wanted to follow them to find a way out but I would always come back to the same door. And I was afraid. I knew if I went in there I would never come out."

"Holly said there was a wide, wide heaven beyond everything we knew. Where there was no cornfield, no memory, no grave... but I wasn't looking beyond yet, I was still looking back."

Sophie: "If we're going to be friends, you're going to have to be honest with me. Them's the rules."
Hanna: "Are we friends?"
Sophie: "Yes. I like you."
Hanna: "I'd like to have a friend."
Sophie: "I mean, you're a freak and everything, but I like you."

Old moroccan: "Where do you come from?"
Hanna: "The forest."

Erik: "I tried to prepare you."
Hanna: "You didn't prepare me for this."

Sebastian: "So Hanna, is your mom and dad still together?"
Hanna: "My mother is dead."
Sophie: "Nice one, dad."
Sebastian: "I'm sorry to hear that. I lost my mom when I was very young."
Hanna: "It's all right. It happened a long time ago."
Rachel: "Hanna, what did your mom die of?"
Hanna: "Three bullets."
