Being Flynn Movie Quotes

Nick Flynn Some part of me knew he would show up someday. If I stayed in one place long enough, he would find me, like you are taught to do when you are lost. But what do you do if both of you are lost and you both end up in the same place, waiting?

Nick Flynn [narrating] He's seen this before. Bums sprawled out from drinking. But he's never actually stood over the blowers, let the hot air seep into his clothes. The air is sucked out of the library. Even on the coldest nights, there is too much heat inside. It's another prison, these blowers, because once you've landed you can't leave. Because one step off the blower is cold, hypothermia cold, now that you're sodden with steam. The blower is a room of heat with no walls. My father is an invisible man, in an invisible room, in the invisible city.
