Flipped

& Juli Baker: I think the tree looks particularly beautiful in this light. Don’t you?
    Bryce Loski: If by “beautiful” you mean “unbelievably ugly,” then, yes, I would agree.
    Juli: You’re just visually challenged. I feel sorry for you.


& Chet Duncan, Bryce’s Grandpa: That girl has an iron backbone. Why don’t you invite her over sometime?
    Bryce: An iron backbone? She’s just stubborn... and she’s pushy beyond belief. ... And she’s been stalking me since the second grade.
    Chet: Well, a girl like that doesn’t live next door to everyone.
    Bryce: Lucky them.


& Richard Baker, Juli’s Dad: You have to look at the whole landscape.
    Juli: What does that mean?
    Richard: A painting is more than the sum of its parts. A cow by itself is just a cow. A meadow by itself is just grass, flowers. And the sun peeking through the trees is just a beam of light. But you put them all together... and it can be magic.


& Teacher: Juli?
    Juli: Huh?
    Teacher: Do you know the answer?
    Juli: Uh, the Peloponnesian War?
    Teacher: I’m sure that’s the answer to something... but I was looking for the area of a rhomboid.


& Chet: You know, Bryce... one’s character is set at an early age. I’d hate to see you swim out so far you can’t swim back.
    Bryce: Sir?
    Chet: It’s about honesty, son. Sometimes a little discomfort in the beginning... can save a whole lot of pain down the road.

& Chet: She’s quite a girl. Some of us get dipped* in flat... some in satin... some in gloss. But every once in a while... you find someone who’s iridescent. And when you do... nothing will ever compare.
    Bryce: Flat, glossy*, iridescent*? What the hell did that mean?


& Juli: He wanted to know more about the sycamore tree. He knew exactly what it meant... about the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. He said it was the same with people... but sometimes with people, the whole could be less. I thought that was pretty interesting. I started looking at people I’d known since elementary school... trying to figure out if they were more or less than the sum of their parts. Chet was right. A lot of them were less.


& Garett: What’s this? Whoa!
    Bryce: It’s not what you think. ... Okay, it is what you think, but I can explain. ... Okay, I can’t explain.


& Bryce: There was a... bee in her hair.
    Dana: There’s no bee.


& Juli: I needed a strategy. It was simple. If I left my money at home, I’d leave temptation with it.


--- Dict:
