Memorable quotes anyone?


Anyone have any great quotes from HG that they want to share that aren't on the IMDB quote section? I'll start.

Scott: Man, get that camera out of my face, or you'll have a movie of your lower intestine!

Shelby: Hey Ezra, I need a read on this mushrooms, do they have any hallucinatory promises?
Ezra: Not unless death is a hallucination.

(After finding out she cant smoke the shrooms)
Shelby: Guess I'll just get high on life...

Sophie: You've got a an old soul.
Shelby: Wow, gee groovy.
Sophie: Hard shell too. Always a good feature in a woman.
Shelby: Do you work here, or are you just giving this out for free?
Sophie: I am just a visitor.
Shelby: From what planet?



Now tell me some more people! We have to get this board filled up!

Mr. Barringer: You're my only child. And I love you. LOOK AT ME!! But I don't know you anymore.
Scott: It's me, Dad. Just me. I know you don't believe it. And I know you don't want to. But it happened. It's the truth.

Mr. Barringer: To tell you the truth it's not something I want to talk about.
Scott: Well then maybe you should be the one going to Horizon. Because all we do is talk. We talk about drugs, we talk about depression, we talk about stepmothers seducing and molesting their stepsons.

Scott: Why didn't you believe me?
Mr. Barringer: It's not something I wanted to believe. You're my son!
Scott: And she was your wife!
Mr. Barringer: Yes she was my wife. But you never said no. Not once did you have the guts to say no.
Scott: So what are you saying? That it's my fault?
Mr. Barringer: Yes. It's your fault. If you couldn't control yourself who's fault could it be?
Scott: Hers! Don't you get it? Hers! Not mine! Hers!

Scott: I can't go home.
Peter: Why not? What's going on at home?
Scott: If my dad finds out..
Peter: If your dad finds out what?
Scott: Don't make me go home.

Shelby: Don't get mad. This is gonna sound weird but...I thought guys always wanted it.
Scott: Me too.

Shelby: Are you gonna tell the guys here?
Scott: I don't know.
Shelby: If you do, they have to report it. It's like the law of the school.
It happened to a girl here once. Her father abused her. She told them, and they called the police. There was this big investigation.
Scott: What happened to her?
Shelby: He came and took her home.

Elaine: He'll never believe you. He loves me.
Scott: It's the truth.
Elaine: The truth is us Scott. It doesn't have to be this way. You can do whatever you want.
Scott: You're done.

Shelby: Is she pretty?
Scott: She makes me sick!

Scott: Why don't you tell him the truth? Tell him why I used! Tell him why I had to get high every day!

Scott: You think I'm lying, too?
Peter: No. You say it I believe it.
Scott: For the first time in so long, I feel like I can breathe.

On Ezra's play

Ezra: So, what do you think of the scene?
Scott: I think it's great, except that it's a complete rip off. I mean everybody reads this play at the 9th grade.
Ezra: What are you talking about?
Scott: Romeo and Juliet
Auggie: Yeah I thought it was The West Side Story.

"Every day in the shower, I stand there - every day -and I think "what a waste." What a waste, because I'm never gonna get clean."
Shelby

Scott: Is this how it's going to be between us now?
Shelby: I don't know.
Scott: It doesn't have to be.
Shelby: I wish i could believe that. It's almost like we'd have to start from the beginning again.
Scott: I'd do that for you.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Scott:It doesn't have to be that bad.

(Insert Kiss here)

Shelby: It is that bad, but that's the way it is so let's not make promises we know we won't keep, lets not hope for things we know will never happen. In my whole life no one has ever looked at me the way you do. No one has ever touched my face or brush my hair out of my eyes like you do and maybe this is really selfish, but it's not just you I'm gonna miss. It's the way that I feel when I'm with you that I'm gonna miss even more.
Scott: It doesn't have to be over. It doesn't have to be the end.
Shelby: Yeah it does, so um just say goodbye ok please, just say it.

Such a heartbreaking scene.

xoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxox

Shelby: Look I slept with men for money, you know what that makes me?
Daisy: A survivor.

(not sure if the last quote was accurate but I loved that exchange between Daisy and Shelby).

Sophie: Got a question for you mountain man.
Peter: What?
Sophie: I was thinking if you've got nothing better to do, will you marry me?
Peter: I thought you'd never ask.

ditto about the Daisy/Shelby exchange

My favorite character has to be Daisy. I loved when she first arrived at Horizons and Hannah asks her if she knows why she's there. Daisy's response is something along the lines of "I'm the child of alcoholic parents, my mother has lost all maternal instincts and my father, disenchanted with life, is verbally abusive. I'm here becuase I've become a nusance to their addiction. When my father finally threatened physical abuse I used a golf club to set him striaght. A 7 iron, perfect balance of weight and speed. I wanted to off him and the only reason I didn't was I didn't think I could cry for the police."

I also love when Daisy's mother dies and she's talking to her father and he won't look at her when he's talking to her and Daisy yells at him "My mother is dead! And my father can't look me in the eye and say anything remotely comforting."



Holy cricket! You're Harry Potter! And.... you are?
