I blame Hollywood for skewing perspectives. Life is just a big romantic comedy to them, and if you meet cute, happily ever-after is a forgone conclusion.

Phillip is the Paul McCartney of our family: better-looking than the rest of us, always facing a different direction in pictures, and occasionally rumored to be dead.
Jonathan Tropper
I want to explain everything to him, show him that it’s really not as screwed up as it all sounds, but then I remember that it is.

The future just isn't what it used to be

Jonathan Tropper
Don't you think if I was able to make some changes, I would have already?

I loved her for the way she embraced the unknown, how she opened herself up to every experience. When I was with her, she opened me up, too, stirred my passion and heightened my every sensation. Which was great, until she left me and all my heightened senses to deal with the heartache of losing her.

Fate already warned us to pack it in. We just didn’t hear it in time.

There are no happy endings, just happy days, happy moments. The only real ending is death, and trust me, no one dies happy. And the price of not dying is that things change all the time, and the only thing you can count on is that there's not a thing you can do about it.
Jonathan Tropper
We're all clichés, all following scripts that have been written and played out long before we landed the role.
Jonathan Tropper
As far as rapprochements go, it's awkward and vague, but the advantage of being as emotionally inarticulate as we are is that it will do the trick.

The whole purpose of screenwriting is to convey everything through action and dialogue and not explanation and exposition. To me, there are movies where voiceover works really well because it does something more than exposition it actually becomes a tonal element of the movie.

If only all our conflicts could be resolved with a few grunts and a smack in the ass.
Jonathan Tropper
At some point, being angry is just another bad habit, like smoking, and you keep poisoning yourself without thinking about it.
Jonathan Tropper
There are some people out there who don't wait for what come next. They decide what should come next and they go and make it happen.
Jonathan Tropper
Pity, I've learned, is like a fart. You can tolerate your own, but you simply can't stand anyone else's.
Jonathan Tropper
It would be a terrible mistake to go through life thinking that people are the sum total of what you see.
