Quotes From It's Kind of a
Funny Story:
Bobby: See, that's the part I don't get, Craig.
I mean, you're cool, you're smart, you're talented.
You have a family that loves you. You know, what I
would do just to be you, for just a day? I would...
I would do so much. I would... I don't know. I would
just... I'd just live. Like it meant something.
Craig: Okay, I know you're thinking, "What is
this? Kid spends a few days in the hospital and all
his problems are cured?" But I'm not. I know
I'm not. I can tell this is just the beginning. I
still need to face my homework, my school, my friends.
My dad. But the difference between today and last
Saturday is that for the first time in a while, I
can look forward to the things I want to do in my
life. Bike, eat, drink, talk. Ride the subway, read,
read maps. Make maps, make art. Finish the Gates application.
Tell my dad not to stress about it. Hug my mom. Kiss
my little sister. Kiss my dad. Make out with Noelle.
Make out with her more. Take her on a picnic. See
a movie with her. See a movie with Aaron. Heck, see
a movie with Nia. Have a party. Tell people my story.
Volunteer at 3 North. Help people like Bobby. Like
Muqtada. Like me. Draw more. Draw a person. Draw a
naked person. Draw Noelle naked. Run, travel, swim,
skip. Yeah, I know it's lame, but, whatever. Skip
anyway. Breathe... Live.
Bobby: I don't get wrapped up in a bunch of stuff
I can't have.
Johnny: Relax, it's just for fun, bro.
Bobby: That's not fun. That's propaganda, man. All
those Madison Avenue types telling you how to live
your life. Fast cars, hot chicks... Reese's Pieces...
Gucci... Werther's Original. I don't buy into that
bullshit!
