Tuck: Look around you, the flowers, and the trees, and the frogs, they're all part of the wheel. They're always changing, always growing, like you Winnie. Your life is never the same, you were once a child, now you're about to become a woman. Then one day you'll go out, like the flame of a candle. You'll make way for new life. That's a certainty. That's the natural way of things. Then there's us. What we Tucks have, you can't call it livin', we just are. We're like rocks stuck on the side of the stream. Listen to me, Winnie, you know it's a dangerous secret if people find out about the Spring. They'll trample all over each other just to get to that water. If there's one thing I've learned about people it's that they'll do anything... anything not to die and they'll do anything to keep from living their life. Do you want to stay stuck as you are right now forever? I just have to make you understand.

Kat: I hate the way you talk to me. And the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare I hate your big dumb combat boots. And the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick-- it even makes me rhyme. I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh -- even worse when you make me cry. I hate it that you're not around. And the fact that you didnt call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you - - not even close, not even a little bit, not any at all.

Sebastian: What shall we toast to?
Kathryn: To my triumph.
Sebastian: It's not my choice of toast, but its your call. To your triumph over Annette.
(Kathryn giggles)
Sebastian: What's so funny?
Kathryn: Silly rabbit. My triumph isn't over her. It's over you.
Sebastian: Come again?
Kathryn: You were very much in love with her. And you're still in love with her. But it amused me to make you ashamed of it. You gave up on the first person you ever loved because I threatened your reputation. Don't you get it? You're just a toy Sebastian. A little toy I like to play with. And now you've completely blown it with her. I think its the sadest thing I've ever heard. Cheers. (sips drink) Tastes good. So I assume you've come here to make arrangements. But unfortunately, I don't fuck losers.

Josie: That thing, that moment when you kiss someone and everything around you becomes hazy. And the only thing in focus is you and this person. And you realize that that person is the only person that you are supposed to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment, you get this amazing gift, and you wanna laugh and you wanna cry. Because you feel soo lucky that you found it, but so scared that it will go away all at the same time.

Josie: Someone once told me that to write well, you have to write what you know. This is what I know. I am 25 years old and I have never really kissed a guy. A geek to the core most of my childhood years were spent doing extra homework I requested from my teacher. High school was more of the same. Then, at 17 it seemed if my luck was about to change. The cutest guy asked me to the senior prom. but it turned out that he asked me as a cruel joke, and I have never fully recovered. yes, it is embarassing to share this with the world, but it would be difficult to explain what I learned, and how I learned it, without sharing this humiliating history. I recieved an assignment, my first as a reporter to go back to high school and find out about kids today. What I ended up finding was myself, and that high school hasn't changed. There is still that one teacher who marches to the beat of her own drummer. Those girls are still there. The ones that even as you grow up remain the most beautiful you have ever seen close up. The smart kids, who everyone knew as the brains, but I just knew as my soul mates, my teachers, my friends. And there is still that one guy, with his mysterious confidence. Who seemed so perfect in every way. The guy you get up and go to school for in the morning. South Glen would not have been the same with out him. High school would not have been the same without him. I would not have been the same without him. I lived a lifetime of regret after my first high school experience, and now, after the second. my regrets are down to one. A certain teacher was hurt on my path to self discovery, and although this article may serve as a step, it in no way makes up for what I did to him. To this man, you know who you are. I am so sorry, and I would like to add one more thing. I think I am in love with you. And so I purpose this. As an ending to this article, and perhaps, a beginning to the next chapter of my life, I, Josie Gellar, will be at the state championship baseball game, where my friends are playing for the title. I will stand on the pitcher's mound for the five minutes prior to the first pitch. If this man accepts my apology, I ask him to come and kiss me. My first real kiss.
