Landon : Hey. How are you feeling?
Jamie : I'm ok, how are you?
Landon : Pretty good.
Jamie : I have something for you.
Landon : You do?
Jamie : Uh hmm... Don't worry it's not a bible. It was my mother's. It's got quotes from all her favorite books, and quotes by famous people. Her thoughts. Come on.
Landon : Okay, let's check it out. Okay..."What is a friend? It's a single soul dwelling in two bodies." -Aristotle.
Jamie : Uh uh, right here.
Landon : Okay. "Find out who you are, and do it on purpose." That's Dolly Parton.
Jamie : I always thought she was smart.
Landon : "Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful."
-
Jamie : I'm sick.
Landon : I'll take you home. You'll be be...
Jamie : No. Landon! I'm sick. I have Leukemia.
Landon : No. You're 18. You - you're perfect.
Jamie : No. I found out two years ago and I've stopped responding to treatments.
Landon : So why didn't you tell me?
Jamie : The doctor said I should go on and live life normally as best I could. I - I didn't want anybody to be weird around me.
Landon : Including me?
Jamie : Especially you!
[Jamie looks down]
Jamie : [Landon gets upset]
Jamie : Ya know, I was getting along with everything fine. I accepted it, and then you happened! I do not need a reason to be angry with God.
[Jamie runs away]
-
Jamie : You don't know the first thing about being someone's friend.
Landon : I don't want to just be your friend.
Jamie : You don't know what you want.
Landon : Neither do you. Maybe you're just too scared that someone might actually want to be with you.
Jamie : And why would that scare me?
Landon : Because then you wouldn't be able to hide behind your books, or your frickin' telescope, or your faith. No, no, you know the real reason why you're scared? It's cause you wanna be with me too.

[at the hospital]
Reverend Sullivan : Do you remember when you were about five or six and you said you hated gravity? And you wanted to jump off the roof and fly?
Jamie : I was so angry at you for making me come down.
Reverend Sullivan : Honey, if I kept you too close it's because I wanted to keep you longer. You know, when I lost your mother, I was afraid that my heart would never open again. Jamie, I couldn't look at you for days.
-
Jamie : [after she and Landon keep switching the radio station] Forty-two.
Landon : "Forty-two", what do you-what do you mean "forty-two"?
Jamie : Forty-two is "Befriend somebody I don't like". It's a to-do list I have.
Landon : What, like getting a new personality?
Jamie : Spend a year in the Peace Corps, make a medical discovery...
Landon : That's ambitious.
Jamie : ...Be in two places at once, get a tattoo.
Landon : What's number one?
Jamie : I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
-
Jamie : Please don't pretend like you know me, ok?
Landon : But I do, I do. We've had all the same classes in the same school since kindergarten. Why you're Jamie Sullivan. You sit at lunch table 7. Which isn't exactly the reject table, but is definitely in self exile territory. You have exactly one sweater. You like to look at your feet when you walk. Oh, oh, and yeah, for fun, you like to tutor on weekends and hang out with the cool kids from "Stars and Planets." Now how does that sound?
Jamie : Thoroughly predictable, nothing I haven't heard before.
Landon : You don't care what people think about you?
Jamie : No.

Jamie : [Speaking to someone else] This is a star frame and it will help you locate stars and planets with your naked eye. Mercury and Jupiter can be seen just over the west south west of the horizon after sunset.
Dean : Bet you can see angels up there flying around.
Jamie : In fact, there are some things that they call miraculous. Einstein said the more he studied the universe, the more he believed in a higher power.
Dean : Well, if there is a higher power, then why is it he can't get you a new sweater?
[His friends laugh]
Jamie : He's too busy looking for your brain.
Eric : Ohhhhh, dayaaaaam!
[laughing]
-
Jamie : [to Landon] You're my angel.
-
Landon : Listen, Jamie, I was hoping we could run lines together?
Jamie : Okay, but just not so anybody knows, right?
Landon : Well I just figured we could surprise everyone with how good I get.
Jamie : Like we could be secret friends.
Landon : Exactly, exactly it's like you're reading my mind.
Jamie : Great umm... maybe you could read mine.
[she gives him a cold glare and turns away]
Landon : Jamie, Jamie I can't just be your friend.
Jamie : Landon, look, I thought I saw something in you, something good, but I was very wrong.

Jamie : What do you want Carter? I've known you for years and you've never been the first one to come up and say "hello."
