Sheeni: You got me expelled.

Nick: I'm sorry, Sheeni.

Sheeni: Do you realize what life is like for me here? Do you have any idea?

Nick: Sheeni, I've been alone my whole life. I know what it's like. Sheeni, I burned down Berkeley for you. I destroyed both of my parents' cars. And I've lied and manipulated and had you sedated, and I did all that so we wouldn't have to be alone anymore.

Sheeni: You're him, aren't you?

Nick: I'm him?

Sheeni: You're my François. You're the one I've been looking for.

Nick: Sheeni, I want what you want. I want to live all over the world and have adventures, but I'm not François. I'm the guy who saw you and fell in love with you and would do anything for you. That' s who I am.

Youth in Revolt quotes

  • Nick Twisp and Francois Dillinger: In the movies the good guy gets the girl. In real life it's usually the prick.

  • Nick Twisp and Francois Dillinger: Sheeni, hi, nice to see you. I was just going for a walk, and I thought I'd drop by. I remembered that you lived here. I'm sorry I got so upset about Trent. It was very immature of me. I'm not normally like that. He sounds like a great guy. I'd love to hear more of his neat poetry. Say, do you want to go to the beach or get breakfast?

    Sheeni Saunders: Actually I'm going on a hike. I'd ask you to come along, but you haven't got any hiking boots, provisions, survey maps, or a compass.

    Nick Twisp and Francois Dillinger: Fine. I do all of my hiking free form. Like John Muir, I enter the wilderness with nothing more than my journal and a child-like sense of wonder.
