    The ice soda in the summer is as fresh as the ice soda. After reading it, I really want to go to the water park to play XD

    The sensitive and introverted youth will not be cured in an instant. Youth is a closed window. It is slowly pushed open by the hands of the years. I like the trivial pieces of this summer. They can't piece together the appearance of the years, but they make me miss those times that I can't go back to.

The Way Way Back quotes

  • Owen: Throw your bike in the back.

    Duncan: [politely] No. You don't have to.

    Owen: [chuckling] Come on.

    Duncan: Yeah?

    Owen: Yeah.

    Duncan: [hesitating] No, it's too much trouble.

    Owen: Duncan, we've got to start having faster conversations. Throw your bike in the back.

    [Duncan starts moving pink-colored girl's bike into back of car]

    Owen: I'd help you out, but I got my hands on the wheel. Giving you a ride, I think that's enough. Where did you get that? The princess collection? Hey, easy, easy! The car's just the right amount of shitty.

  • Duncan: This is the only place I'm happy.

    Owen: What's going on?

    Duncan: I hate him.

    Owen: Who?

    Duncan: Trent. My mom's boyfriend. He said I was a three. He asked me what I thought I was on, a scale from one to ten. He called me a three. Who says that to somebody?

    Owen: Someone who doesn't know you.

    Duncan: I didn't want to have to answer! I shouldn't have to answer!

    Owen: Listen to me. That's about him, man. That's all about him. It's got nothing to do with you.

    Duncan: [vehemently] Yeah? How do you know?

    Owen: 'Cause I know, okay? Don't worry about how I know. My dad was the same way. That's why I don't like patterns and rules. And that's why you can't buy into that shit. You gotta go your own way. And you, my friend, are going your own way.
