-->''Listen, Squee, I just want to make sure you'll watch out for yourself. That unconscious man on the floor is just one of your worries. I'm just concerned. It's easy to be affected by your fears, your hatred. I don't want to see that happen to you. You seem like such a nice little Squee. It must be nice to still have the opportunity to save the cohesion of your pretty mind. The best some people can hope for is to better manage the damage.''

* A lot of his interactions with Squee almost get to be this... then he ruins it by telling [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Squee the underground tunnel is full of corpses]] and tells him to sleep tight. Perhaps the best one, though, is him restraining himself from killing Squee's unconscious and probably blind father--"a kid needs a dad", after all. His parting words are basically about how Squee shouldn't let himself be controlled by his fears and hates and still has a chance to stay sane.

You have to be slightly demented to be heartwarmed by Johnny, but he has his moments.

* Nny attempting to pour his heart out to Devi before he leaves ''almost'' is this, as he calmly and patiently explains that he knows what he did was awful, but didn't at the time, and that all he wants now is that "the thought of me does not compel you to violent spasms of projectile vomiting." But then Devi picks up the phone and turns it into a TearJerker, screaming at him about just how futile any chance of reconciliation or closure is because she's become terrified to leave the house much less be social since he tried to kill her.
