Mary Elizabeth: Charlie, Charlie, what do you think about high school?
Charlie: High school? Bullshit. The cafeteria is called the Nutrition Center; people wear their letter jackets even when it's 98 degrees out. And why do they give out letter jackets to marching band? It's not a sport. We all knows it.
Mary Elizabeth: This kid is crazy.
Charlie: Mary Elizabeth, I think you're really gonna regret that, you know, haircut when you look back at old photographs. I'm really sorry. That sounded like a compliment in my head.
Charlie: This one moment when you know you're not a sad story. You are alive, and you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you're listening to that song and that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment I swear, we are infinite.
Charlie: I can see it. This one moment when you know you're not a sad story. You are alive and you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you're listening to that song on that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment, I swear, we are infinite.
Patrick: I'll tell you Sam, this one is tough. I have received a harmonica, a magnetic poetry set, a book about Harvey Milk, and a mix tape with the song Asleep on it twice. I mean, I have no idea. This collection of presents are so gay that I think I must have given them to myself. Despite that distinct possibility, I'm going to have to go with, drum roll, Charlie! Obviously!
Patrick: Alright, Chapter 1: Surviving your fascist shop teacher who needs to put kids down to feel big. Oh wow! This is useful guys, we should read on!
Charlie: I know we'll all become somebody-we'll all become old photographs and we'll all become somebody's mom and dad. Right now these moments are not stories, this is happening. I'm here and I'm looking at her. And she is so beautiful.
Charlie: So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. and maybe we'll never know most of them. but even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. we can still do things. and we can try to feel okay about them.
Patrick: Charlie, I dare you to kiss the prettiest girl in the room on the lips. And notice, I deliberately said girl and not person cause, let's face it, I'd smoke all of you bitces!
Charlie: I know who you are Sam. I...I know I'm quiet, and I know that I should speak more, but if you knew the things that were in my head the most of the time you'd know what it really meant...how much we are alike, how we've been through the same things...and you're not small...you're beautiful.
Patrick: You didn't do anything. We just want to toast our new friend. You see things and you understand. Your a a wallflower... What is it what's wrong?
Charlie: I didn't think anyone noticed me.
Patrick: Well we didn't think there was anyone cool left to meet. To Charlie.
Charlie: I don't know if I will have the time to write any more letters, because I might be too busy trying to participate. So if this does end up being the last letter, I just want you to know that I was in a bad place before I started high school and you helped me. Even if you didn't know what I was talking about or know someone who's gone through it, you made me not feel alone.
Charlie: I can see it. This one moment when you know you're not a sad story. You are alive. And you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you're listening to that song on that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment, I swear...We are infinite.
Charlie: Dear Friend, I haven't really talked to anyone outside of my family all summer, but tomorrow is my first day and... I really want to turn things around this year.
Charlie: I walked over to the hill where we used to go and sled. There were a lot of little kids there. I watched them flying. Doing jumps and having races. And I thought that all those little kids are going to grow up someday. And all of those little kids are going to do the things that we do. And they will all kiss someone someday. But for now, sledding is enough. I think it would be great if sledding were always enough, but it isn't.
