"Maybe you're right about you and I. You know we might not be all that different. I certainly don't belong with all them damn people. Boy I hate how all of those people walk around like they are perfect. Then here's me on the edge of a mental breakdown wanting nothing more than to forget about all of them. What would life be like for me if I lived in your time? Away from all the "virtue" and shame that is. Would I have had the ability to talk to people about my life with about being labeled a goddamned freak?"
Bud's final reply
"I have no idea whether you would be able to work out your issues in my time or not, but I know that being in a society where you can be emotional is pretty nice. I don't really understand why being different was so bad in the 1950's. When I was looking at how good everything was in Pleasantville I was not thinking about how everyone there was exactly the same. I wasn't thinking about how people didn't seem to have any real emotions. I get why it's so hard for you in the 1950's. It was hard for me too."
