[Ellie, the true author of many classmate assignments turned in, comes up to Mrs. Geselschap's front desk to turn in her own assignment]

Mrs. Geselschap: Six different takes on Plato. Impressive.

Ellie Chu: [maintaining the pretense] Just the one.

Mrs. Geselschap: That's what I tell the bartender.

Ellie Chu: How come you never turn me in?

Mrs. Geselschap: And have to read the actual essays they'd write?
Ellie Chu: I'm Ellie Chu.

Aster Flores: Yes, I know. You've only been playing my dad's services every Sunday for, like, four years. You're his favorite heathen. He can't handle mediocre accompanists, even if they ARE saved.
Ellie Chu: The good thing about being different is that no one expects you to be like them.
Paul Munsky: So when does the dating start?

Ellie Chu: This IS dating.

Paul Munsky: No, dating's burgers and-and fries and shakes, and maybe another order of fries.
Ellie Chu: Aster Flores thinks you're into abstract art and repressed British literature.

Paul Munsky: Yeah.

Ellie Chu: None of that is you.

Paul Munsky: It could be. I started reading that Remains of the Day book.

Ellie Chu: Really?

Paul Munsky: Yeah. I fell asleep a few times, but I'm still reading it. That's gotta count for something.
Paul Munsky: What was your mom like?

Ellie Chu: Young, funny, dead.

Paul Munsky: No, before she died.

Ellie Chu: Young, funny... .. fun.
Ellie Chu: Gravity is matter's response to loneliness.
Colleen Munsky: Mommy wants you to know, in case you ARE gay, Mommy still loves you.

Paul Munsky: I'm not gay, Mom.

Colleen Munsky: Thank God.

Paul Munsky: I might... want to change our sausage recipe, though.

Colleen Munsky: Are you insane? I LOVE that recipe!

[strikes Paul with her purse]
Ellie Chu: Is this really the boldest stroke you can make?
Paul Munsky: Go to the dressing room. I-I'll toss you some things.

Ellie Chu: But you're a dude.

Paul Munsky: I have a sister.

Me: I am a bad bitch, I won't fall for teen films again; Also me: crying for this cute trio, thinking about my school time in midwest and chugging Yakult at 3 am half of it (seeing that the Chinese name has changed from "half half" to "true half understanding" to "campus love saint"??? Whoever translated this vulgar name came out and was beaten

"Love is chaotic and complicated, scary and selfish, but also bold enough" Wu Siwei's screenwriting skills are very good. Such a light comedy brings tears to the laughter of the four-corner relationship, Chinese family, love and faith, etc. It is strange and cute. Zou Zhaolong's appearance and Chen Chong's alternative cameo are all surprises. "The good thing about being different is that no one expects you to be like everyone else." The movie viewing experience is as relaxed and enjoyable as "Blue Door", "Love, Simon" and "Electronic Love Letter". "Have you ever loved someone deeply? To the extent that you don't want the other person to change anything", "I always thought that there is only one way to love, but there are many kinds of it"...Love can be like a Russian nesting doll, maybe It is a lonely but hopeful stroke on the edge of the painting, or it can be a mockery of the happiness that is staged by chasing the train.
