Billie Pike: How old are you?
Willard Young: Ten. How old are you?
Billie Pike: Nine. I thought you'd be bigger.
Willard Young: Hey! Look who's talking, you midget. It just so happens I'm exactly the right size for my age. So why don't you just get lost?
Billie Pike: You don't have to go crazy. It was just an observation.
Sally Pike: If I've spent my whole life falling in love with dreams that made my life miserable, then it just goes to follow that a guy I can't stand will make me happy.
Willard Young: I'm always afraid of things. I don't know why, but I am. And I just thought if I did something that really scared me, maybe I wouldn't be afraid anymore.
Lily Reed: Did it work?
Willard Young: Yeah... it did.
Billie Pike: Don't go in the water. It's gonna rain.
Willard Young: So what?
Billie Pike: If lightning strikes, we'll be fried like two bugs on a hot plate. That's what.
Sally Pike: You know what the worst thing is about Billie? She's always right. She has the best instincts of anybody I ever met. God only knows where she got them.
Billie Pike: Do you have a lot of friends?
Willard Young: Yeah. I'm the most popular kid on my block.
Billie Pike: I figured. I don't have a lot of friends. People think I'm a show-off.
Billie Pike: Have you ever seen a dead body?
