Dad: You can't make things like that up, son. Killing people is wrong, destroying demons is good. Don't worry, God will send you your own list when you're older.
Young Adam: I've got the joy joy joy joy down in my heart, down in my heart... and if the devil don't like it he can sit on a tack.
Young Fenton: Ouch.
Brad White: Just mind your business, you fucking bitch.
Agent Wesley Doyle: You'll never get away with this.
Adam Meiks: God will protect me.
Young Fenton: It's all a big lie, you hear me? I think we need to run away, just for a little while. Until he gets better. Sooner or later Dad's gonna kill somebody and you know it.
Agent Wesley Doyle: You ever wanted to be a policeman or something?
Adam Meiks: Yeah, well, you know, when I was a kid.
Young Fenton: You gotta promise to God that if you ever destroy me you'll bury me here in the rose garden.
Young Adam: I promise.
Dad: I never killed a man in my whole life.
Dad: I never killed a man before tonight.
Young Fenton: I've seen you kill plenty.
Agent Wesley Doyle: Is everything you just told me true?
Adam Meiks: Why would I make it up?
Fenton: Sometimes truth defies reason.
Young Adam: God gave it to me.
Adam Meiks: He was my father. I loved him even if he had gone crazy.
Dad: Ain't that Travis kid the boy whose been givin' you trouble at school?
Young Adam: Yep. He's a demon.
Dad: You did good today, kiddo.
Young Adam: It's not fair! All I get to see are demons and Fenton gets to see God.
Answer: According to the Director's Commentary with Bill Paxton, the "pet in the jar" was a millipede and was named "Curtis" by Matthew McConaughey simply enough after Bill asked, "What should we call it?" Later when the other Curtis appears Paxton comments that "This guy's name is Curtis and people go 'Wow, why is that guy's name Curtis and the pet Curtis?'" But he fails to actually answer the question. In the Producer's Commentary they also reference the dual names, but again have no explanation other than to point out the fact that it seems to catch the attention of viewers.
