Dialogue[edit]

Ole: There are as many ways to live in this world as there are people in this world, and each one deserves a closer look.

Ole: You know what? You're an individual, and that makes people nervous. And it's going to keep making people nervous for the rest of your life.

Harriet: I want to remember everything. And I want to know everything.

Ole: Well, you must realize, Harriet, knowing everything won't do you a bit of good unless you use it to put beauty in this world. True or false?

Harriet: True.

Ole: Of course it is.

Ole: Good friends are one of life's blessings. Don't give them up without a fight.

Sport: This stuff is beyond crap. It is what crap wants to be when it grows up.

Janie's Mom: JANIE! I am sick to death of this mad scientist baloney! Look at this! Look at this!

Frankie: Speak English!

Sport: You can't be my friend if you're not my friend.

Ole: The time has come, the walrus said...

Harriet: To talk of many things...

Ole: Of shoes and ships and ceiling wax...

Harriet: Of cabbages and kings...

Ole: And why the sea is boiling hot...

Harriet: And whether pigs have wings!

Ole: Do you have any wings?

Harriet: Yeah.

Ole: [starts "spanking" her] Yeah? Let me see them!

Harriet: [laughing] Ow! Ow! Child abuse! Child abuse!

Ole: You want to see child abuse? Take that! And that!

Harriet: I hate money.

Sport: You'd like it a lot more if you didn't have any.

Harriet: The only thing worse than being Marion Hawthorn, is wanting to be Marion Hawthorn.
