Quotes 

• Randy : I don't want to shock you or anything, but I really want to hold your hand right now. I've been wanting to hold your hand all day.

  Evie : I've held hands with a girl before.

  Randy : With a girl like me?

  Evie : No I guess not. But what's the worst that could happen?

  Randy : We could get the shit kicked out of us is all.

  Evie : Just for holding hands? I don't believe that.

  Randy : God Evie, you are so sheltered.

  Evie : [holding out her hand]  Then unshelter me.

• Evie : I'm at my wit's end. I really am. I don't know what to do anymore.

  Randy : Try going out with a married woman.

  Evie : Excuse me?

  Randy : Oh nothing. I just said everybody needs love, that's all.

• Friend : God, Evie, if you were going to turn gay, you'd think you could at least choose someone's who's pretty.

  Evie : I didn't say I was gay. I said I was in love.

• Evie : I know this sounds weird but I just can't put the air in the tires because I think they're going to blow up in my face.

  Randy : Well, actually, you know, tires don't blow up from having air put in them, but um, I'll put some air in it if you want me to.

• Evelyn Roy : Evie, do you have something you want to tell me?

  Evie : What? No.

  Evelyn Roy : Honey, if you can't tell me, you can't tell anyone. You know that.

  Evie : Mom, why is it that every time I try to separate from you, which is a totally normal adolescent impulse, and in fact, crucial to my adult development, you come back with that weird thing about me telling you what I can't tell the rest of the world?

• Randy : [after admitting she's having a fling with a married woman]  You're not weirded out, are you?

  Evie : No. No. Not at all. I mean, why should I be?

  Randy : Well, most people are. At least most people at our school.

  Evie : Well, I'm not most people.

• Evie : I have to traverse my own landscape.

• Hayjay : Evie, why haven't we seen each other?

  Evie : Why? Why is the sky blue, okay? Why does the earth turn? Why are people the way they are? Why isn't anyone fighting for change?

  Hayjay : I don't know.

  Evie : Why does Ted always tell you what to do? Why do you always listen to him?

  Hayjay : Wait a minute, I'm asking you a simple question. It deserves a simple answer.

• Evie : Listen, if you guys can't handle it, then you can just dump me right now and not be my friends any more. I'm telling you though, I am still the same Evie. If you can't take it, then you can just get up and leave and we'll never have to speak again.

• Randy : What's symbiotic mean?

  Evie : It means when you're really, really close to someone. Like, too close. Like um... an infant and its mother.

  Randy : I knew that.

• Randy : Evie, there's somebody downstairs. Evie! What if it's a murderer or something?

  Evie : [nonchalantly]  Okay.

• Randy : [about Mozart's Requiem]  What are they saying?

  Evie : I have no idea. Something in Latin. Isn't it beautiful?

  Randy : How do you know it's beautiful if you can't understand it?

  Evie : You just know.

• Evie : This is a really great cookbook... Antoine's. It's amazing.

  Randy : Who's Antoine?

  Evie : I don't know.

  Randy : You don't know?

  Evie : No.

  Randy : Why do you have his cookbook?

• Evie : I think that people should act out of love, not obligation.
