COLE: We were supposed to draw a picture. Anything we wanted. I drew a man. He got hurt in the neck by another man with a screwdriver.
MALCOLM: You saw that on TV, Cole?
COLE: Everyone got upset. They had a meeting. Mom started crying. I don’t draw like that anymore.
MALCOLM: How do you draw now?
COLE: I draw — people smiling, dogs running, rainbows. They don’t have meetings about rainbows.

Quotations by:
Shyamalan, M. Night
COLE: I see dead people.
MALCOLM: In your dreams? (Cole shakes his head.) While you’re awake? (Cole nods.) Dead people, like, in graves? In coffins?
COLE: Walking around like regular people. They don’t see each other. They only see what they wanna see. They don’t know they’re dead.
MALCOLM: How often do you see them?
COLE: All the time. They’re everywhere.
