Quotes 

• Jackie Hoffman : Let me understand. I continue to be the only person who actually listens to your outrageous stories.

• Thomas Miller : I'd like to say something in my defense.

  [turns to Jackie] 

  Jackie Hoffman : Don't speak.

  Thomas Miller : But she...

  Jackie Hoffman : Shh!

• Thomas Miller : I need to explore all my options.

  Jackie Hoffman : I'm your only option.

• Jackie Hoffman : [to Thomas]  You're so disturbed.

  [smiles] 

• Drake Chapman : What's going on Mildred?

  Thomas Miller : Hello Drake. So what's it going to be today? Stuff me in a locker? Shake me down for loose change? Hey, you know what's always fun? Hanging me from the flagpole by my underwear? People laugh, they cry, they go home happy. Always a real crowd pleaser.

  Jackie Hoffman : Why are you giving him ideas?

  Thomas Miller : Because he is too dumb to come up with them on his own.

  Drake Chapman : Did you just call me dumb?

• Jackie Hoffman : [Thomas and Jackie make their way on hands and knees through the school ceilings. Jackie's tux is covered in dirt]  Great. And I had to wear white.

  Thomas Miller : Since when do you care about that sort of thing?

  Jackie Hoffman : Hey, I'm still a girl.

• Thomas Miller : [as Jackie is walking up with her white tux]  Nice look, Hoffman.

  Jackie Hoffman : Really?

  Thomas Miller : Yeah.

  Jackie Hoffman : [smiles brightly]  Thanks.

• Jackie Hoffman : So how does one go about saving one's life and no one really believes you?

  Thomas Miller : I have no idea.

  Jackie Hoffman : No weapons? Special gadgets? Secret powers? No ideas? This could be quite a challenge.

  Thomas Miller : I like challenges.

• Thomas Miller : [Jackie is sitting on a bench, Thomas comes up to her]  Hey.

  Jackie Hoffman : Hey.

  [looks around] 

  Jackie Hoffman : So where's Madison?

  Thomas Miller : I dropped her off at home.

  Jackie Hoffman : [without enthusiasm]  Great.

  Thomas Miller : Anyway, she told me there's another dance tomorrow, and...

  Jackie Hoffman : You were going to tell me that you're taking her?

  Thomas Miller : No. Actually, if it's not too late, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to come with me.

  Jackie Hoffman : [looks pleasantly surprised]  I don't get it. What about "the girl"?

  Thomas Miller : [grinning]  She's right here.

• Thomas Miller : [approaching Jackie]  Hoffman! Jackie!

  Jackie Hoffman : [Jackie looks up then looks away] 

  Thomas Miller : [sitting down with her]  Listen. Someone's going to try to hurt the president's daughter. I think I know who it is. Randall, the new guy. You've gotta believe me!

  Jackie Hoffman : [turns toward him]  Why should I?

  Thomas Miller : You're my best friend, Jackie. You always tell your best friend the truth.

  Jackie Hoffman : [after a pause]  So why Madison Kramer? Huh, best friend? Why are you like obsessed with this random girl? Who you know nothing about?

  Thomas Miller : I kinda like the way she... how she talks.

  Jackie Hoffman : [adopting a fake British accent]  Is that it, Thomas? Do you like the way I speak?

  Thomas Miller : Jackie!

  Jackie Hoffman : Do you find me charming, Thomas? Do you?

  Thomas Miller : Jackie, stop it! Look, I have no idea why Madison Kramer. The only thing I can think of is maybe it is predetermined.

  Jackie Hoffman : [quietly in her normal voice]  Yeah.

  Thomas Miller : And one more thing. I just wanted to say sorry for every time I've hurt you and I wanted to say sorry in advance for every time I might hurt you.

  Jackie Hoffman : You plan on hurting me again?

  Thomas Miller : I would never plan on it.

  Jackie Hoffman : [after another pause]  So say this whole president's daughter thing is, like, true. What now?

  Thomas Miller : I go to the dance and I save a life.

  Jackie Hoffman : And what do you want from me?

  Thomas Miller : Jackie, you're the one person in the world who I know always has my back.

  Jackie Hoffman : The only person who knows if you're telling the truth.

  Thomas Miller : Pretty much, yeah.

• Jackie Hoffman : Just close your eyes.

  Thomas Miller : No!

  Jackie Hoffman : Close your eyes or I'll throw you off this roof and I am talking on the driveway, not the grass!

  Thomas Miller : [before closing eyes]  Now I'm spooked.

  Jackie Hoffman : [leaning forward to kiss him]  For the first time, so am I.

• Thomas Miller : I need to explore all my options.

  Jackie Hoffman : I'm your only option. Look around. I don't see any lineup here.

  Thomas Miller : Madison Kramer.

  [camera cuts to Madison as they look over to where she is, and then back] 

  Jackie Hoffman : [incredulously]  Madison Kramer?

  Thomas Miller : It could happen.

  Jackie Hoffman : Hold on, my phone's ringing.

  [makes pretend phone with her hand] 

  Jackie Hoffman : Hello? Oh yeah, hold on, he's right here.

  [shows "phone" to Thomas] 

  Jackie Hoffman : It's for you. It's Planet Earth. They'd like to know when you're coming back.

• Jackie Hoffman : Do you ever feel like life's random or just predetermined?

  Thomas Miller : I have no clue.

  Jackie Hoffman : Like, no matter what effort we make to be accepted, we'll still just end up on the roof, feeling like a couple of losers?

  Thomas Miller : Yeah, you know, the whole popularity thing never made much sense to me. I mean, what makes a kid popular in the first place?

  Jackie Hoffman : You're asking the wrong person.
