The Last Song

Ronnie: Truth only means something when it's hard to admit! Don't you get that?

Steve: Sometimes you have to be apart from the people you love, but that doesn't make you love them any less. Sometimes it makes you love them more.

Jonah: Mom says it's because she has PMS.
Steve: Do you even know what PMS is, Jonah ?
Jonah: Of course I do dad, I'm not a little kid anymore. It's the Pissed At Men Syndrome.

Will: “Happy families are all alike. Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”

Jonah: You have dibs. You married her first.

Will: I don’t think you can try funny business at a wedding, sir.
Steve: You can try funny business at a wedding, trust me.
Will: Kinda makes this a mix message then.

Steve: I don’t have too many lectures left on my timecard so I really want you to hear this. Someday you are going to open your heart and you’re going to play again. It’s not going to be to make your mother happy, and it’s not going to be to make me happy, it’ll be for you. Because music, love, they’re gonna bring you joy.

Ronnie’s mom: You have a right to shut down, just don’t push me away.
Ronnie: This is what I do Mom, I push people away. I pushed Will away, too.
Ronnie's Mom: We’re not perfect, any of us. We make mistakes, we screw up, but then we forgive and we move forward. Honey, if you have the courage to feel, you feel everything so deeply. You’re your father’s daughter.

Ronnie: Well I would rather drink my milkshake than wear it, but I’m fine.
Will: I’m sorry.
Ronnie: You look it. Forget it.
Will: Hey look, I really am sorry.
Ronnie: Didn’t we just do this?
Will: I’m Will by the way. Let me buy you another shirt.
Ronnie: No thanks.
Will: C’mon, I’m just practicing southern hospitality.
Ronnie: Really? Is that what they call hitting on strangers now?
Will: You know what? I have no interest in buying you a shirt.
Ronnie: Is that so?
Will: I’m just over here so the other team can catch a breath.
Ronnie: Wow. Pushy and conceited.

Ronnie: My mom shipped me and my brother to my dad’s for the summer. Guess I can babysit turtle eggs while the volleyball player slash (/) aquarium volunteer hits on me every ten seconds.

Jonah: Don’t hello me. I need your name soldier. The commanding officer sent me out with rations. Unfortunately, it’s vegetarian so personally I’d rather eat sand.

Will: Oh, not the hard to get again. Seriously, Ronnie, you read Tolstoy; you take up arms to defend innocent sea turtles. Your ice cube backs aren’t working.

Jonah: What has one eye, speaks French, and really loves cookies? Muah!

Jonah: What if he stays out there forever, what if he never leaves, and then dies?
Steve: Yeah, his corpse is eaten by a bunch of raccoons.
Jonah: And he still doesn’t leave because that’s how powerful his love is.
Steve: Turtles. Turtles eat his corpse.

Ronnie: Will, I did not come here for some stupid summer romance with some stupid local boy who has done this with a thousand other girls.
Will: What?
Ronnie: Ashley told me about all the girls you’ve been with. So I don’t want to be just the next girl on your parade of girls, Will. Going on the same date, doing the exact same thing. I think that’s why it’d be better if we just end it.
Will: End it. End what? Okay, Ronnie, yes, I went out with other girls before I met you. But it was before I met you, so how can you be mad about that?

Will: You’re not like the other girls.

Ronnie: Dad, I’d probably talk about this with a girlfriend if I had one here, but I don’t. So…
Steve: So you want to talk? So, here we go. Let’s talk. Yeah? Alright, um, so you like this guy? You like him a lot?
Ronnie: I like him more than a lot. Is that crazy?
Steve: Well, a little but love is, Ronnie, crazy, a little.
Ronnie: Thank you.

Jonah: Wow. You may be older but I am so much smarter than you.

Jonah: I like Will. I don’t want him breaking up with you just because you look crappy at a wedding.

Steve: Dear Ronnie, I miss the hours we spent together at the piano. I miss being your teacher. I know you see me as having left you but when your mother and I split up I was in a lot of pain. I just needed to come home. I regret moving away from you and Jonah more than anything. I hope you’ll forgive me. Your mom tells me you’ve completely failed your SAT’s but I know how smart you have to be to get every single question wrong. Congratulations, Ronnie. I’ve told you before that none of what happened between your mother and me had anything to do with you or Jonah. Love is fragile Ronnie. We’re not always its best triggers. We just muddle through and do the best we can and hope that this fragile thing survives against all odds.

Steve: You don’t even know who you are, Ronnie.
Ronnie: Who am I?
Steve: You are the kindest, sweetest, most beautiful daughter in the whole world.

Ronnie: People make mistakes, Will, even the people that we love.

Remember Me

Tyler: [from trailer] Gandhi said that whatever you do in life will be insignificant. But it's very important that you do it. I tend to agree with the first part.

Tyler: [from trailer] Someone's been trying to tell me something. Make her yours forever, and I'm working on the forever part.

Tyler: He can stand me up, but he can't stand you up.

Aidan Hall: That's why chicks dig you, man. They love this freaky, poetic crap.

Receptionist: You know you can't smoke in here.
Tyler: Why do you have an ashtray?
Receptionist: It's a bowl, it completes the room.
Tyler: I guess it was just here to tease me.

Tyler: If you could hear me, I would say that our finger prints don't fade from the lives we've touched.

Tyler: You know what day I'm staring at, Michael. By 22, Ghandi had 3 kids; Motzart, 37 symphonies; and Buddy Holly was dead

Tyler: You have a daughter who sincerely believes that you don't like her. She's communicating. Why aren't you listening? Why aren't you riveted?

Aidan Hall: I've had enough of this brooding introvert shit! I'm ready to set up an intervention.
Tyler: You do realize that interventions don't normally consist of binge drinking, right?

Aidan Hall: I've planted my flag in every continent.

Ally Craig: Your middle name is Keets? God, your parents are pretentious!

Ally Craig: I have my dessert first.
Tyler: Is that a political statement? A medical condition, perhaps?
Ally Craig: I just don't see the point in waiting. I mean, what if I die while eating my entree?
Tyler: Is that probable?
Ally Craig: It's possible. What if I choke? What if an asteroid come hurling down onto the restaurant?... I'll tell you what, if you swear on your eternal soul that I'll make it through my entree, then I'll wait. But before you answer, consider that if something does happen, you'll have to live the rest of your life knowing that not only did you lie to me, but you denied of my one last indulgence. Are you prepared to shoulder that kind of responsibility?

Tyler: So, dessert first in case of asteroids, yes. But kissing a guy you seem at least somewhat attracted to before riding off into the unknown New York night alongside a panda you've only just met, no?

Tyler: Love's involved with spending time together, but spending time apart, can lead to loving even more.

Charles: [turns to Tyler again] I love her.
[Tyler rolls his eyes]
Charles: Good God, you toss that word around but you have no idea what it means.
Tyler: Maybe I don't. Maybe Caroline doesn't either...
Charles: I provided her world, and yours.
Tyler: That doesn't mean you can't just shatter it! How do you feel, when you have something better to do?
Charles: Who the hell do you think you're talking to? You pedaled down here on your bike, for Christ's sake! You're gonna take care of nothing! You're responsible for no one! You're a kid! You think you're the first one to lose anything? You think, that whatever you feel in your heart, I don't also feel it in mine?
Tyler: [referring to Michael] You didn't find him. Okay? I found him. And you're just so... tragically blind that you think the rest of your children are just gonna hang themselves...
Charles: [charges toward Tyler] You little piece of...
Tyler: [People in the meeting separate them] What!

Aidan Hall: [In jail] It must be nice living at the bookstore, by yourself, with all your stacks of books. But, you see, I actually plan on having a career, and a wife, and a girlfriend, and a... and a divorce, and a mid-life stalking episode, and an erectile dysfunction.

Tyler: You once told me, our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we touch. Is that true for everybody, or is it just poetic bullshit?

Tyler: Gandhi said that whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it because nobody else will. Like when someone comes into your life and half of you says: "You're nowhere near ready". And the other half says: "Make her yours forever". Michael, Caroline asked me what would I say if I knew you could hear me. I said: "I do know. I love you. God, I miss you, and I forgive you.

Tyler: Hey doll face, your dad trampled all over my civil liberties, do you wanna make out with me?
