Quotes 

• Melody : [reading from a tombstone]  "Fifty years' happiness." How long's fifty years?

  Daniel : A hundred and fifty school terms, not including holidays.

  Melody : Will you love me that long?

  Daniel : [nods affirmative]  Mmm-hmmm.

  Melody : I don't think you will.

  Daniel : Of course. I've loved you a whole week already, haven't I?

• Daniel : I've got to dance with her.

  Ornshaw : You're mad! What do you want to do that for? She'll only say "Buzz off." She's like that. This whole girl-nonsense is rubbish. Girls are a bunch of snot-nosed little so-and-so's.

• Ornshaw : Some people are winners and some people are losers.

  Daniel : Who says who's gonna be what?

  Ornshaw : Don't ask me, that's all done before we get on this earth. I mean, it's him up there. He says, "You, you're gonna be red-hot at the triple jump, and you, you're gonna be bloody useless!"
