Leland: This one is something a friend of mine said to me. "You have to believe that life is more than the sum of its parts, kiddo." I remember it right now to the "kiddo" part. When I think about what she said, the same thing always comes into my head. What if you can't put the pieces together in the first place?
The United States of Leland (2003)

Mrs. Calderon: You have to believe that life is more than the sum of its parts, kiddo.
Leland: You know what the funny thing about earthquakes is? After an earthquake you see people pulling other people out of broken down buildings and people hugging and junk because they saw a little girl's shoe in the middle of the road and no little girl around. Then a couple days later they forget all about it.
Pearl Madison: Well it still shows you that there's goodness in people.
Leland: During earthquakes at least.
