Quotes
-
Julien à 8 ans : [narrating] Friends are like eyeglasses. They make you look smart, but get scratched and then bore you. Luckily, sometimes, you get super cool glasses. Me... I've got Sophie!
-
Julien à 8 ans : [narrating] But there's one game you must never play. And I mean never! Even if your best friend wants you to! And that's burying yourself in a block of cement!
-
Sophie à 8 ans : What'll you be when you grow up?
Julien à 8 ans : A tyrant!
Sophie à 8 ans : A tyrant? Your people subjugated?
Julien à 8 ans : Totally! With a harem, slaves, and torture every Thursday!
Sophie à 8 ans : Cool!
Julien à 8 ans : And you?
Sophie à 8 ans : Well, I... No, it's too dumb.
Julien à 8 ans : Tell me!
Sophie à 8 ans : You won't like it.
Julien à 8 ans : I told you! Tell me!
Sophie à 8 ans : I'd like to be a cream puff. A cream puff with apricots, or even a plain one. Lukewarm at the bakery. In the window.
Julien à 8 ans : A cream puff? As in cake?
Sophie à 8 ans : Of course! What else! A cream puff is a cream puff!
Julien à 8 ans : A cream puff... Yeah, of course, a cream puff! That's brilliant!

Julien à 8 ans : [narrating] This game started with a pretty house. A pretty bus with no driver. A pretty box... and a pretty girl.
-
Julien à 8 ans : [narrating] No, actually, I'm wrong. It began a little earlier with a disgusting, meaningless word, like...
Doctor #2 : [flash of an x-ray] Metastasis!
Julien à 8 ans : Sure! Why not "mammoth" while you're at it? And it made Mom cry. Anyway, doctors suck. Their words suck. Their pants suck. So what could they know about moms?
-
Teacher : Nouns beginning with "B"? Yes, Sophie?
Sophie à 8 ans : "B" for... "Big-dick", "bonk"... "B" for "Beat the beaver", "bordello", "balls", "blow-job", "bug-eyed baboon", "bitchbag"... "Beat it, bitchbag!"
Teacher : Think you're funny, miss? What language! I'm giving you zero, "Z" for "zero"! We'll see if the principal thinks it's funny.
[Julien passes Sophie the box]
Teacher : Julien! What's going on? To the principal's with Sophie!
Julien à 8 ans : [while being escorted to the principal's office] "Boner".
Sophie à 8 ans : What?
Julien à 8 ans : "B" for "boner".
Sophie à 8 ans : I didn't have time!
-
Julien à 8 ans : [narrating] It was a great game, only no one found it funny.
-
Julien's Mother : You think you're the first to play "Dares"?
Julien à 8 ans : Mom? What's the craziest thing you ever did?
Julien's Mother : Fly.
Julien à 8 ans : FLY? Fly where?
Julien's Mother : Across the sky.
Julien à 8 ans : Show me. Come on, fly, fly, fly!
Julien's Mother : Game!
[slowly spreads arms out, followed by a dramatic pause]
Julien's Mother : Later.
[puts arms down]
Julien à 8 ans : When?
Julien's Mother : Soon. I promise.
-
Julien à 8 ans : But all that means pretty much the same. It means:" I hurt, like no one else on earth, Mars, or even Altair IV!"
-
Julien à 8 ans : A stupid game? Maybe so, but it was our game.
-
Julien à 8 ans : Sophie?
Sophie à 8 ans : You're mistaken. I'm Dirty Polack.
-
Julien à 8 ans : You'll lend it sometimes?
Sophie à 8 ans : You give, then take back. You really want it, prove it. Are you game?
Julien à 8 ans : [narrating] That was it! I think that's how it all really started.
[to Sophia]
Julien à 8 ans : Game!
