Best Quotes


 

Amber Appleton: You’re late. Where have you been?
Becky: I know, I know. But I brought you something. Look. Got you some dinner.
[Amber opens the box to find a piece of cake]
Amber Appleton: This is dessert.
Becky: Who says dessert can’t be dinner?
Amber Appleton: Nutritionists?
Becky: You telling me nutritionists don’t like cheesecake?


 

Becky: This is a way to get us some dinner.
Amber Appleton: This isn’t dinner, mom. You were supposed to look at apartments, not get cheesecake from Oliver.
Becky: Well, that’s all that he could give me, so I took it. And I’m sorry that it’s not good enough for you.


 

[Amber reads from her book as they sleep on a school bus]
Amber Appleton: “Hope is the thing with feathers. That perches in the soul. And sings the tune without the words. And never stops at all. And sweetest in the gale is heard. And sore must be the storm. That could abash the little bird. That kept so many warm. I’ve heard it in the chillest land, and on the strangest sea…”
Becky: “Yet, never, in extremity, it asked a crumb of me. Sore must be the storm.” Some storm we’re in, huh, baby?
Amber Appleton: Yeah.


 

Becky: I’m sorry.
Amber Appleton: It’s not your fault.
Becky: We’re going to be okay.
Amber Appleton: Okay? Way to aim low, Mom. We’re going to be awesome. We’re going to be spectacular.
Becky: That’s my girl.


 

Amber Appleton: Good morning, Joan.
Joan: “Good” is a matter of opinion.
Amber Appleton: Well, here’s a fact. Rainbow sprinkled donut. The best donut, and I saved it for you.
Joan: Mm-mm. No, no.
Amber Appleton: Okay. I’ll eat it.
Joan: Uh-uh.
[as Amber goes to eat, Joan stops her and gets her to put the donut in front of her]


 

Amber Appleton: Ooh. You want to hear a joke?
Joan: That’s a no.
Amber Appleton: You’re going to laugh this time. Ready? What do you call a fish with no eyes? Fsh!
[Joan gives her a stern look]
Amber Appleton: Careful, Joan. One of these days, I will make you laugh.
Joan: Not if I make you cry first.
Amber Appleton: You couldn’t make me cry if you tried.


 

Ricky: My BB-8 clock said 7:12. Yesterday, it was 7:13. Tuesday, it was 7:14.
Amber Appleton: What’s your point?
Ricky: You’re waking me up a minute earlier every day.
Amber Appleton: You’re on to me. The master plan is to eventually wake you up at 4 AM.
Ricky: Then midnight?
Amber Appleton: Then yesterday.
Ricky: Before I even go to sleep! Which would totally suck. But might be sort of cool, because then we could eat breakfast together and stay up all night.


 

[as Jordan is reading a book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez]
Ricky: Hey, Jordan, is that a coloring book? Because there are Marquez all over the pages.
Jordan: Impressive.


 

[referring to the breakfast sandwich she gives Ty as he takes them to school in his van]
Amber Appleton: Well, he’s the only one with access to a car.
Ty: Yes, thank you. Access.
Jordan: Call it a vehicle.
Chad: I still fail to see how any of this warrants a sandwich.
Jordan: Thank you.
Chad: I’m just saying.
Ricky: I think Amber’s got a crush on Ty. That’s why she makes him a sandwich.


 

[referring to their school’s marching band]
Chad: Okay, but who steals a tuba?
Ricky: Someone who’s really horny for it.
Jordan: It’s technically a sousaphone. You could get a lot of cash for one on the dark web.


 

Ty: So I’ve been trying to text you, but I keep on getting delivery failure.
Amber Appleton: Yeah. That’s a whole thing. I lost my phone, and I haven’t had a chance to get a new one yet.
Ty: I was hoping we could have, like a private conversation.
Amber Appleton: Cell phones aren’t private. It’s much better to stay off-grid. Plus, I’m the only teenager in all of America who doesn’t have a cell phone. How cool is that?
Ty: Not cool at all?


 

Mr. Franks: Wow, look at that!
Amber Appleton: Does that mean that I…
Mr. Franks: Yeah. You’re being asked to audition at Carnegie Mellon. Amber’s going to Pittsburgh. Look!
Ty: What?
Jordan: Of course she is.
Ty: That’s amazing.
Chad: No way! This is your dream, Amber.
Jordan: That’s incredible! Oh, my God!


 

[referring to Becky’s boyfriend, Oliver]
Becky: He has a good side.
Amber Appleton: Yeah, and a bad side.
Becky: We’re going to get caught. And it is getting cold outside.
Amber Appleton: I’d rather freeze my a** off on a bus than go back to Oliver’s.


 

Becky: [to Amber] No one can find out about us. You understand? Because if they do, I’ll lose you.


 

[referring to Amber being invited to audition for Carnegie Mellon]
Becky: How does it work? You sing for them?
Amber Appleton: Yeah. And then they crush my dreams.
Becky: They won’t. You’re going to be great.
Amber Appleton: How am I even going to get to Pittsburgh?
Becky: You’ve been saving money, right?
Amber Appleton: Yeah, for an apartment, not some stupid audition.
Becky: No, you buy that ticket. Because this is your dream.


 

[as Amber is playing chess with Joan]
Joan: So what’s with you today? You’re not yapping all over the game like you usually do.
Amber Appleton: Nothing. I’m just thinking.
Joan: About that boyfriend of yours?
Amber Appleton: I don’t have a boyfriend. Ty’s a friend. We’re buds.
Joan: “Buds”. Buds, yeah.


 

Joan: Have you hooked up with him yet?
Amber Appleton: Joan!
Joan: Get over it, and quit wasting your time thinking. Youth is precious, so you should enjoy it.
Amber Appleton: That’s the most positive thing I think I’ve ever heard you say.
Joan: Well, it’s just another way of saying that life is nasty, brutish, and short. And then you die.
Amber Appleton: That’s my Joanie.


 

Amber Appleton: Okay, Ricky. Egg puns. Go.
Ricky: Oh, um, okay. Well, I only know a few, so this will be over easy. Omelet, you use that one if you want.
Amber Appleton: Okay.
Ricky: You can poach it.
Amber Appleton: Ooh, nice.
Ricky: Yeah, it’s funny, because I usually only eat eggs around hollandaise.


 

[referring to the school variety show]
Amber Appleton: Okay. So, Ricky’s going to do a pun-off.
Ricky: Put me down as Lingo Starr.
Amber Appleton: I love it.


 

[for the school variety show]
Jordan: I’ll be performing an Argentine tango.
Ricky: An Argentine tango.
Jordan: Correct.
Chad: Well, I can finally tell you my sister watches a little too much Dancing with the Stars.
Jordan: A, That is a lie. B, please put me down for an Argentine tango.
Chad: You do realize it takes two human beings to tango, right?
Jordan: Put me down as, “Jordan and TBD.”


 

[referring to the school variety show]
Amber Appleton: Okay. Uh, Franksie?
Mr. Franks: Me? No. This is for you guys. I’m not going to get involved.
Amber Appleton: What? Are you kidding?
Ricky: Come on, man. Really?
Chad: You have to help us out.
Ricky: Do it.
Mr. Franks: Are you sure?
Amber Appleton: Yes, we’re sure.
Mr. Franks: Alright. I’ll think of something. “All the world’s a stage. The end!” Right? Is that what it is? I don’t know. I have work to do, guys.


 

Amber Appleton: What’s going on?
[referring to her employees finding out about them sleeping on the school bus]
Becky: They found out.
Amber Appleton: Who found out?
Becky: Who do you think? I got fired.


 

[after sleeping on a bark bench and waking up to find her backpack stolen]
Amber Appleton: I don’t know what to do, Ty. My mom’s going to be looking for me, and I can’t go back to Oliver’s.
Ty: Let’s just, let’s think about this, okay? Today’s Saturday. We don’t have school on Monday. I have an idea. Just trust me, okay?


 

[after Ty let’s Amber stay as his family vacation home; referring to the song]
Ty: “Feels Like Home.”
Amber Appleton: My dad wrote it. He was an amazing musician. And singer.
Ty: Runs in the family, I guess.


 

[after she sings “Feels Like Home”]
Amber Appleton: How did I sound?
Ty: Terrible. I’m sorry, but you have zero talent. It was just, that was embarrassing. I was embarrassed for you.
Amber Appleton: [laughing] Yeah, you’re the worst.


 

[to Ty, referring to her father]
Amber Appleton: He wrote that song for my mom. I was twelve. It was a heart thing. Never even knew anything was wrong with it. My mom tried to keep it together. She just didn’t have any family around. So little by little, things started to go downhill.


 

[after Amber tells him the story of her father’s death]
Ty: We’re going to figure something out, alright?
Amber Appleton: Yeah.


 

Donna: Amber wants you to know she doesn’t feel comfortable living at Oliver’s.
Becky: Oh. So you two talked about everything, huh? Well, it may not be comfortable, but that is where we live now.
Amber Appleton: I don’t want to live there again. I don’t feel safe.
Becky: You felt safer living on a bus?


 

Amber Appleton: Donna says I can stay here for a few nights, until we figure this out.
Becky: No. Absolutely not. No!
Donna: It’s okay, Becky.
Becky: No, it’s not! Who do you think you are? Really? It is not okay! She is my daughter. She stays with me!


 

Becky: If you keep her here, I’m calling the cops.
Donna: Well, maybe that’s not a bad idea. Maybe we all need to have a conversation about this.
Becky: I’m the mother. I’m the one that keeps things together.
Amber Appleton: Really, mom? You do that? I had no idea.
Becky: I’m trying. You can’t see that I’m trying to take care of you? I’m doing my best.
Amber Appleton: Well, your best isn’t good enough!
Becky: Okay. Then stay here. Stay here for the rest of your life for all I care.


 

Amber Appleton: You need help. And we can get you help. We can start over.
Becky: Start over. Life is so much more complicated than you think, baby.
[Becky then drives off]

[after Becky is killed with Oliver in a car accident]
Ty: I bet you’re sick of people asking you if you’re okay.
Amber Appleton: I ran away from her. I went to your fancy vacation house. I had fun while she needed me.
Ty: Amber, this is not your fault.
Amber Appleton: Then I came back, and I pushed her away. This is on me.


 

Mr. Franks: [to Amber] Listen, I can only imagine how hard it is for you right now. But, you know, your talent, the reason you earned this opportunity, that’s still there. That doesn’t go away. It’s still in here. So, the pain that you’re feeling, you know, the grief, I think you just channel it. Channel it, put it into your song. Because that’s what an artist does. And you, you’re an artist.


 

[after her dog, Bobby, gets ill and Amber decides to work full-time to pay for his surgery]
Donna: You can’t throw everything away.
Amber Appleton: Donna, I really appreciate everything you’ve done.
Donna: It’s not about that. It’s about you and your future. You have so much to look forward to, and so much talent. I can’t let you…
Amber Appleton: Stop! You’re not her.
[to Donna as Amber walks off]
Ricky: You’re not who?


 

[after Amber refuses Ty’s offer of a loan to help her out]
Ty: Damn it, Amber, you are so stubborn! You do so much for other people, but when you need just a little bit of help, you push us all away. What is so bad about needing help? Like if you don’t do this on your own, you’re weak?
Amber Appleton: Good job, Ty. You figured it out.


 

Ty: I bet part of you is glad that you missed the audition. Bobby got sick, and you got an excuse to punish yourself for letting your mom down, which you didn’t do. You’re suffering. You’re suffering, and you won’t admit it. You expect the rest of us to sit by and watch you go down the drain, and that is not fair!
Amber Appleton: Not fair? I’m sorry, that must really suck, life not being fair. You know what you should do to make yourself feel better? I don’t know, you should hang out with your two parents at your vacation home. Maybe that’ll help you get over life and its vast unfairness.
Ty: Amber.
Amber Appleton: Leave me alone! Just leave me alone.


 

[as Amber is watching TV with Joan]
Joan: You know, it’s a lot easier watching it this way.
Amber Appleton: What do you mean?
Joan: Well, my ears don’t hurt from all your loud singing, and talking, and terrible jokes. In fact, if you happen to see the old Amber, well, you can tell her that it was a living hell
just being around her. All that disgusting cheer and helpfulness. Optimism. Well, she was insufferable.


 

[on the night of the variety show Ty turns up at the donut place Amber works at]
Ty: You’ve been putting this show on for the last three years. It’s the last one you’ll ever get to see. It’s your night.
Amber Appleton: Sorry. I have to finish my shift.
Lloyd: No, you don’t. We’re closed.
Amber Appleton: No. We close at midnight.
Lloyd: Usually, but we’re out of donuts.
[they all look at the tray of fresh donuts he’s holding]
Lloyd: These have been impounded.
Amber Appleton: Lloyd…
Lloyd: Amber. Go. Be with your friends. I got this.


 

[as Amber notices there’s a lot of people coming to the variety show]
Ty: We ended up changing the proceeds to going to Bobby Big Boy’s surgery.
Amber Appleton: What?
Ty: I know. Yeah. I know. Look, before you, before this gets out of hand, I want to say something. I want to say that I’m sorry. Okay? I want to say that I’m sorry about the other, well, you know. I was way too hard on you. I was frustrated. I was frustrated because I care about you, a lot. All of these people care about you. They showed up for you. Okay? So for once, you’re going to have to deal with that, alright?
Amber Appleton: What if I don’t know how?
Ty: Think of it as a gift. Okay? Think of it as a gift that you’re giving us by letting us help you. Amber. Trust us. We won’t let you down.


 

[as Ty is introducing the variety show]
Ty: As we all know, Amber Appleton puts together this Variety Show every year to raise money for various school causes. She’s also helped the Drama Club mount their productions, has lobbied the school board for better wheelchair access, and has made me countless delicious fried egg sandwiches. She teaches. She volunteers. She’s sort of like a rock star. Just by being here tonight, she has helped me get over my massive, massive stage fright. Honestly, I don’t know, maybe. I still might throw up, we’ll see.


 

[doing his performance for the variety show]
Ricky: I’m here to talk to you about man’s best friend. Well, one man’s best friend. Mine. She’s a human woman. Not a dog, but she’s got a great one in Bobby Big Boy. Things lately, they got a little ruff for these two. But we’re here to give triple-B a new leash on life.


 

Ricky: I can say Lapso-lutely amazing things about Amber, but you all might Terrier your hair out. And I don’t want Amber to sit there and Rottweiler friends Schnauzer off in front of everyone. So embarrassed of all the Shih Tzu here, that she Pekingese eyes out from behind her hands. I’ll keep things Pug-ressing for a Spaniel be able to handle, and then Retriever.


 

Ricky: Amber, you Mastiff known I would take this speech, and Basset on the fact that you’re a Great Dane, and my best friend in the whole world. Thank you.


 

[as Ty gets Amber to come on the stage to give a speech]
Amber Appleton: “Hope is the thing with feathers.” My mom loved that poem. We’d read it at bedtime for as long as I can remember. It’s about finding hope, even in the darkest of times. My mom always had hope, and so did I. Until I lost it. But you all helped me find it again. I don’t know how to repay you. But I guess that’s the point. I don’t have to repay you. I just have to take the gift that you’ve given me and use it. And I will. So, thank you. I’m so grateful.


 

[referring the wrapped present Joan’s given her]
Amber Appleton: What’s this?
Joan: Well, just open it.
[Amber hesitates]
Joan: Oh, for God’s sake, it’s not a bomb. Open it.
[Amber opens it to reveal a framed photo of her and Ty on the stage at the variety show]
Joan: Told you I’d make you cry.


 

[after realizing Joan was the one who donated the $200,000 to the variety show fundraiser]
Joan: What am I supposed to do with all that dough, huh? Line my coffin with it? I don’t have any family left. Well, that’s not exactly true. Actually, you’re my family. And you can make better use of it than anyone else I know.
[as Amber begins to cry]
Joan: Oh, God. No. No more waterworks. I only wanted to see it the one time.
Amber Appleton: Well, I can’t help that.
Joan: Come here.
[Joan embraces Amber]


 

[Amber embraces Ty before she sets off for her Carnegie Mellon audition]
Ty: You got this.
[Amber kisses him]
