Quotes

• Sam : I feel I'm in a real family now. Not like yours, but similar to one.

  Suzy : I always wished I was an orphan. Most of my favorite characters are. I think your lives are more special.

  Sam : I love you, but you don't know what you're talking about.

  Suzy : I love you, too.

• Sam : Why do you always use binoculars?

  Suzy : It helps me see things closer. Even if they're not very far away. I pretend it's my magic power.

  Sam : That sounds like poetry. Poems don't always have to rhyme, you know. They're just supposed to be creative.

• Sam : [In the women's dressing room] What kind of bird are you?

  Sparrow : [Starting to point to the other actresses] I'm a sparrow, she's a dove...

  Sam : [Cutting her off] No. I said...

  [Points to Suzy]

  Sam : What kind of bird are YOU?

  Suzy : I'm a raven.

• Suzy : We're in love. We just want to be together. What's wrong with that?

• Sam : Those sons of bitches, they got him right through the neck.

  Suzy : Was he a good dog?

  Sam : Who's to say? But he didn't deserve to die.

• Suzy : These are my books. I like stories with magic powers in them. Either in kingdoms on Earth or on foreign planets. Usually I prefer a girl hero, but not always.

• Sam : What happened to your hand?

  Suzy : I got hit in the mirror.

  Sam : Really? How did that happen?

  Suzy : I lost my temper at myself.

• Sam : It's possible I may wet the bed by the way. Later, I mean.

  Suzy : Okay.

  Sam : I wish I didn't have to mention it but just in case. I don't want to make you be offended.

  Suzy : Of course, I won't.

• Cousin Ben : [walking briskly] Is this him?

  Sam : Field Mate Sam Shakusky, Troop 55, resigned.

  Cousin Ben : [dramatically] He's hot. Almost too hot. What's in the can?

  Redford : $76, but it's mostly in nickels.

  Cousin Ben : Give it to me.

  [to Sam]

  Cousin Ben : Your badge in seamanship?

  Sam : Yes, sir.

  Cousin Ben : Good. There's a cold water crabber moored off Broken Rock. The skipper owes me an IOU. We'll see if he can take you on as a claw cracker. It won't be an easy life, but it's better than shock therapy.

  Sam : Thank you, sir. By the way, where's the chapel tent?

  Cousin Ben : Back there, but the padre's home with the mumps. Why do you ask?

  Sam : I want to bring my wife.

  Cousin Ben : [stopping abruptly]

  Suzy : But we're not married yet.

  Cousin Ben : You his girl?

  Suzy : Yeah.

  Cousin Ben : Technically, I'm a civil law scrivener. I'm authorized to declare births, deaths, and marriages. You're kind of young. You got a license?

  Sam , Suzy : No.

  Cousin Ben : I can't offer you a legally binding union. It won't hold up in the state, the county, or frankly, any courtroom in the world, due to your age, lack of a license, and failure to get parental consent. But the ritual does carry a very important moral weight within yourselves. You can't enter into the contract lightly. Look into my eyes. Do you love each other?

  Suzy : Yes, we do.

  Cousin Ben : Think about what I'm saying. Are you sure you're ready for this?

  Suzy : Yes, we are.

  Cousin Ben : [to nobody in particular] They're not listening to me. Let me rephrase it.

  Suzy : We're in a hurry.

  Cousin Ben : Are you chewing gum? Spit out the gum, sister. In fact, everybody.

  [collecting up spit out gum]

  Cousin Ben : I don't like the snappy attitude. This is the most important decision you've made in your lives. Now go over by the trampoline and talk it through before you give me another quick answer...

• Suzy : I think you've still got lightning in you.

• Laura Bishop : We women are more emotional...

  Suzy : I hate you.

  Laura Bishop : Don't say "hate".

  Suzy : Why not? I mean it.

  Laura Bishop : You think you mean it, in this moment. You're trying to hurt me.

  Suzy : Exactly.

• Suzy : It feels hard.

  Sam : Do you mind?

  Suzy : I like it.

• Sam : Sometimes I stick leaves on my hair. It helps cool your head down.

  Suzy : Hmm. That's a good idea. It might also help if you didn't wear a fur hat.

• Suzy : You can touch my chest. I, uh... I think they're gonna grow more.

• Sam : I'm sorry.

  Suzy : Oh, it's okay!

  Sam : I'm on your side.

  Suzy : I know.

• Suzy : It doesn't make me feel very good. I found this on top of our refrigerator.

  [Pulls out a book "Coping with the very troubled child" ]

  Sam : Does that mean you?

  Suzy : I think so, yeah.

• Walt Bishop : Be advised, the two of you will never see each other again. Those were your last words. Do you understand?

  Suzy : I'd be careful if I were you. One of these days, somebody's gonna get pushed too far. And who knows what they're capable of?

  Walt Bishop : Is that a threat?

  Suzy : It's a warning.

  Lionel : You're a traitor to our family.

  Suzy : Good! I want to be.

• Suzy : I know what you do with that sad, dumb policeman.

  Laura Bishop : [long shocked stare] He's not dumb... But I guess he is kind of sad.

• Suzy : We might have to swim for it.

  Sam : How deep is it? I didn't bring my life jacket.

  Suzy : I don't know but if it's too shallow, we'll break our necks anyway.

• Suzy : Molly's right. I do go berserk.

• Laura Bishop : Poor Suzy. Why is everything so hard for you?

  Suzy : We're in love. We just want to be together. What's wrong with that?

• [Sam and Suzy kiss; he turns away and spits]

  Sam : I got sand in my mouth.

  Suzy : Oh!

• Sam : [Sniffs twice] You smell like perfume.

  Suzy : Oh, it's my mother's!

  Sam : Hm! Hm!

• Suzy : Can you French kiss?

  Sam : I think so. Is there any secret to it?

  Suzy : The tongues touch each other.

  Sam : Okay, let's try it.

• Sam : Wait, these are all library books. In my school, you're only allowed to check out one at a time. Some of these are going to be overdue. Do you steal? Why? You're not poor.

  Suzy : I might turn some of them back in one day. I haven't decided yet. I know it's bad. I think I just took them to have a secret to keep.

• Sam : So, what do you want to be when you grow up?

  Suzy : I don't know. I want to go on adventures, I think. Not get stuck in one place. How about you?

  Sam : Go on adventures, too. Not get stuck, too. Anyway, we can't predict the exact future.

• Laura Bishop : I do know what you're feeling, Suzy-bean. I've had moments myself where I say, "What am I doing here?" "Who made this decision?" "How could I allow myself to do something so stupid?" and "Why is it still happening?" We women are more emotional.

  Suzy : I hate you.

  Laura Bishop : Don't say "hate."

  Suzy : Why not? I mean it.

  Laura Bishop : You think you mean it, in this moment. You're trying to hurt me.

  Suzy : Exactly.

• Suzy : Pretty. Now do the other one.

• Suzy : I got mad at myself.

• Suzy : [Books] The Girl from Jupiter, Disappearance of the 8th Grade, Francine's Odyssey, The return of Aunt Lorraine, By the Light of Seven Matches, Shelley and the Secret World.

• Jed : You're a traitor to this family!

  Suzy : Good. I want to be.

• Suzy : Kyrie! Kyrie Elaison!

• Suzy : I suppose I just did it to have a Secret to keep.
