Quotes 

• Serena Slocum : I didn't save your letters but I didn't throw them away.

  Tom Townsend : I don't understand, is that a riddle?

• Tom Townsend : You threw away all the letters I wrote you?

  Serena Slocum : I throw away nearly everything. I don't want to go through the rest of my life with the mail I got when I was 16.

  Tom Townsend : I'm surprised. Someone goes through the trouble of writing you a real letter, I save it. People don't write many personal letters anymore.

  Serena Slocum : People in boarding school do.

  Tom Townsend : And what if someone who wrote you becomes famous? Those letters could be the only record of what they were thinking at that time. Crucial for their biographers.

  Serena Slocum : Anybody who writes me who expects to become famous should keep carbons.

• Serena Slocum : There was a girl at school who had some kind of crush on you. She came into my room when I was throwing things out, so I gave her your letters.

  Tom Townsend : Really?

  Serena Slocum : I know it sounds queer.

  Tom Townsend : She kept them?

  Serena Slocum : Uhm, I'm sure.

  Tom Townsend : Kind of strange. She must be really odd.

  Serena Slocum : No, she's very nice. In fact, you know her: Audrey Roget.

• Serena Slocum : Things are definitely over with Rick. With some relationships, the breaking up is easier to understand than how you got involved in the first place.
