Quotes 

• Keith Scott : Why don't you just hand me that gun, Jimmy, and we can just follow them out of here.

  Jimmy Edwards : I can't.

  Keith Scott : Well, I'm not gonna leave you here, son. I'm not gonna do that, and I'll tell you why. Because I've been there. I've bought the gun and I planned on using it, okay? I've been there. And I want to tell you something. It gets better.

  Jimmy Edwards : Not this. It can't.

  Keith Scott : It does, Jimmy. That pain in your stomach, that pain in your heart, it goes away. That voice in your head that's saying there's no way out, it's wrong, Jimmy. Would you please, please just believe me? It gets better.

  Jimmy Edwards : It won't! Not after this. I can't take this back! I can't erase this!

  [starts to cry] 

  Jimmy Edwards : She's gonna die.

  Keith Scott : You don't know that.

  Jimmy Edwards : I just... I wanted... I wanted them to leave me alone. I just... I wanted them to like me.

  Keith Scott : I understand, son. It's what we all want. That's all any of us wants.

  Jimmy Edwards : I'm not here. I'm not here.

  Keith Scott : Jimmy, please. It's gonna be okay, son. It's gonna be okay.

  Jimmy Edwards : [pounding on his chest]  But it hurts! It hurts! It always hurts!

  Keith Scott : I know. Please. Please.

  Jimmy Edwards : I'm sorry.

  [points the gun to his chest and shoots himself] 

  Keith Scott : No!

• Jimmy Edwards : You know they're going to remember me as a monster, but I wonder how they'll remember you?

• Jimmy Edwards : You really think I am the only one. Then ask yourself this. Have you ever treated someone like crap in this school or left anyone out? Have you ever broken up with someone in the time it takes to pass a note and disappear? Or talk trash behind their back? Or maybe you just ignored it all? You know why you worry about the big game or the prom or the bake sale for the pep club. You ask yourself that and then you tell me if there is anyone else out there.

• Jimmy Edwards : You see, one day, I spent a whole day in this school without a single person looking at me or talking to me and I realized that was the best day I'd had in a long time. The day that nobody noticed me at all. The day I stopped being there. That was the best day. Well, that was kind of depressing, so I went home and took an anti-depressant. And then, I took another one. And then, for fun, I took twelve more. My mom and the doctors called it an accident. And then two weeks later, when I got back to school, nobody noticed. It was like I never left. I guess that's the upside to not being there in the first place, right? Nobody misses you when you're gone.

• Jimmy Edwards : You're Abby Brown, right? What's my name?

  Abby Brown : Jim.

  Jimmy Edwards : My full name. Come on, who am I?

  Abby Brown : I don't know.

  Rachel Gattina : He's the guy from the time capsule.

  Haley James Scott : Jimmy Edwards. You're Jimmy Edwards and you're a good guy, and you are better than this.
