Something, Maybe QUOTES

1 " And you… do you know what you are?”
“Stupid?”
“Beautiful,” he says, his face turning red. "

― Elizabeth Scott , Something, Maybe

2 " I don’t think I could have picked a worse guy to be my soul mate. "

― Elizabeth Scott , Something, Maybe

3 " I didn’t want to see it. I didn’t think he’d ever really notice me, and in the end, he didn’t. "

― Elizabeth Scott , Something, Maybe

4 " And I know what people say about not listening to insults or how you should let stuff roll off you, but it’s not that easy. "

― Elizabeth Scott , Something, Maybe

5 " I thought you were going to— you’re standing under my window. Aren’t you supposed to climb up here or something?”
“My ladder’s at home. "

― Elizabeth Scott , Something, Maybe

6 " How come you like Josh so much anyway? All he does is sit around drinking overpriced coffee and bitching about how awful things are"
"He cares about the world."
"If he cared about the world, he'd donate the ten thousand dollars he must spend on coffee every year to charity. That would be doing something. "

7 " Do you really think he was flirting with me?"
"Let's see. He gave you candy you hate - I saw your face - and a CD of songs..." He looks at the CD. "All of these are, like, twenty years old at least. Figures. Oh, and he groped your face. Sounds like true love to me. "

8 " Are you reading?" I say. It's not that I don't think Finn can read or anything, but it's just - well, not what I expected to see. I figured Finn spent his time doing whatever it is guys who aren't Josh do when they aren't in school. Burping, or something.
"Try not to look so surprised," Finn says. "I read. I can count to ten. Sometimes I can even spell my own name. "

9 " Okay, I guess you can come in."
"Um, Hannah, you have to, you know, open the front door so I can actually come in."
"I thought you were going to - you're standing under my window. Aren't you supposed to climb up here or something?"
"My ladder's at home. Also, you call throwing rocks at your window clichéd? "

10 " It was nothing. We played tic-tac-toe for a while. You know we do that sometimes."
"Oh, I know," Teagan says.
"Okay, how did you make that sound like we were rolling around ripping off each other's clothes? "

11 " The sun will rise tomorrow. It always does, and all the wishing in the world for the way things were, or for what they could have been, won't change that. It won't change how things are. "

― Elizabeth Scott , Something, Maybe

12 " I told you we were meant to be," he says, still smiling, still so Finn, who was always here but who I just didn't see and now--

Well, now I kiss him. "

― Elizabeth Scott , Something, Maybe

13 " Josh pulls me aside.
"Hey, About before, I just... I wanted to say ... well, I think you're pretty special." He says, kind of stumbling over the words a little. Like he's hesitant to say them, now i wish he'd hug me again. And then kiss me.
But he doesn't. He just waves and walks off.
I sigh.
"Hannah, I just... I want you to know if I pause alot when I tell you how special you are I want you to think that I'm... very... very... deep," Finn says "

― Elizabeth Scott , Something, Maybe

14 " That's you, right?' he asks me.
'Yeah.'
'Cute. Not that I, uh, think little kids are cute. Just that you were cute. I mean, you can see how you turned out to be so...oh. "

― Elizabeth Scott , Something, Maybe

15 " The sun will rise tommorrow. It always does, and all the wishing in the world for the way things were, or for what they could have been, won't change that. It won't change how things are. "

16 " I don't eat bread.' Is she pouting? It's hard to tell. She's had a lot of chemicals injected into her face. "

― Elizabeth Scott , Something, Maybe

17 " She looked at me for real and saw I was serious. She saw I knew she was for me like you know that tomorrow morning the sun will rise. "

― Elizabeth Scott , Something, Maybe

18 " I-I don't usually go around throwing rocks at people's windows. Or saying that I've wanted to kiss you since your first day at work, when you wanted to know why we had three codes for fish sandwiches when we only sold one kind. "

― Elizabeth Scott , Something, Maybe

19 " Well as much as I'm sure the people next door who are pretending they aren't looking at me would like to hear what I have to say, I'd rather say it to just you. "

― Elizabeth Scott , Something, Maybe

20 " I told you we were meant to be,'he says, still smiling, still so Finn, who was always here but I who I just didn't see, and now-
Well, now I kiss him.
And just for the record, it's totally worth the tardy slip I end up getting. "
