That Boy
Quotes from the Book
No boy is worth your tears, but once you find the one that is, he won't make you cry.
Love makes you feel out of control. I think that's how you know it's right.
When you clean up someone's puke, it sort of bonds you.
The spider literally looks into my eyes and sends me spider telepathy. He says, I'm going to have shiny, gorgeous hair when I kill you.
Three stairs from the botton, he touches my face and says, 'You look like my dream come true.'
Just because there's a goalie, doesn't mean you can't score.
I pictured Phillip in the tree. How his arm stayed stretched out, his hand empty, long after my dad pulled me away.
You know, I've kinda been freaking out over being a father, but then I read in a men's magazine somewhere that as long as you can keep your son off the pipe and your daughter off the pole, that you've done a good job.
I had to came to tell you how beautiful you look. Really, Jay, you look amazing. Hard to believe the raggedy little girl who punched me in the face could grow up to look like this.
I remember your parents' funeral, JJ. It was the hardest one I'd ever done in my career... I didn't think I was going to make it through the service, but I looked out and saw you, JJ, standing there in the pew. Your eyes were dry. Your chin was up. I saw such strength. I wondered what your parents did that made you so strong at such a young age. But then I noticed you were holding Phillip's hand tightly, just like you are now, and I knew where all that strength came from. It's from each other. You get strength from each other. Whatever you face in life, I hope you face it like you are now. Han in hand. United. If you do that, you'll make it. You'll have a wonderful marriage.
I'm pretty sure I saw him call out a battle cry to all his spider friends.
I think our honeymoon is gonna be like naughty dream week on steroids.
I want you both to remember this moment forever. How it feels. The two of you. Hand in hand. Fighting against something you think is trying to tear you apart.
And I feel happy for the rest of the night.
Two messed up halves that make one perfect whole?
Ooooohh, I heard you had an STD, but I thought it was just a rumor. Does it really burn?" - Moose in reference to Jadyn's "burning bush" -
I needed a push, Phillip. I needed you to push me, otherwise, I wouldn’t have freaked. I needed to feel like we were over to know that there’s no way I’d ever let us be over. I never want us to be over, Phillip. Never, ever.
There’s no way God could not be Team Phillip.
To the nights you'll never remember with the people you'll never forget.
I should have known before I even opened my mouth that you can’t have a serious conversation with a guy named Moose, but I keep trying anyway.
Why did the blonde wear condoms on her ears? So she wouldn’t get hearing aids.
