怦然心动 Flipped (2010)【完整台词】

...you find someone who's iridescent.

And when you do...

...nothing will ever compare.

Flat, glossy, iridescent?

What the hell did that mean?

Juli Baker had always
just seemed plain to me.

Until now.

And the way she talked about
what it felt like to be up in that tree...

...to be held above the earth,
brushed by the wind.

Who in junior high talks like that?

This weird feeling started taking over
in the pit of my stomach...

...and I didn't like it.

I was slipping, man.

And it was time to get a grip.

I'd never been embarrassed
by where we lived before.

I also never really thought about money.

I knew we weren't rich, but I didn't feel
like we were missing anything.

That is, until Bryce Loski
called our home a complete mess.

- What's your name?
- What's your name?

Is it Mary or Sue?

What's your name?

Do I stand a chance with you?

It's so hard to find a personality

With charms like yours for me

Ooh-ee, ooh-ee, ooh-ee

I had to do something
and I knew what it was.

What's your name?

- Oh, you're sounding really good.
- Yeah.

We'll record it in Skyler's garage.

That's a wonderful project.

Speaking of projects, I was thinking
it might be cool to fix up the yard.

- What?
- I mean, how much can grass seed cost?

I could plant a lawn,
maybe some flowers.

I could even put up a fence.

Honey, that's a major undertaking.

- I could pay for it with my egg money.
- No. That's your money.

The landlord should be the one
taking care of all this.

But he doesn't. And we live here.

And it looks so bad.

Jules.

What's going on?

Nothing, Dad.

It's okay, sweetheart.

You can tell us.

The Loskis have been throwing away my
eggs because they're afraid of salmonella.

Because our yard is such a mess.

Did Patsy say that?

No. Bryce did.

But it must have been
a family discussion.

A boy doesn't come up with that
on his own.

- Who cares what they think?
- Yeah, who cares?

- I care.
- Trina.

Let's not get into this.

No, I'm tired of living like this, Richard.

I'm tired of having to take temp jobs
just to make ends meet.

I'm tired of having to push a chair up
against the washing machine...

...just to keep the door shut.

I'm tired of having to borrow
Mrs. Steuby's vacuum cleaner...

...every time ours breaks down.

Do you think this is the life
I pictured for us?

Sometimes you have to sacrifice
to do the right thing.

We always end up agreeing that Devonhurst
is the right thing for Daniel.

Well, maybe we should start thinking
about what's right for us.

Our daughter is suffering
because we won't fix up our own yard.

It's not our yard.

How can you say that, Richard? How?

We've lived here for 12 years...

...and for 12 years we've been saying
it's temporary, but it's not.

This is our home.

Is it wrong to wanna live somewhere
you can be proud of?

To have enough to send your kids
to college?

Maybe it's time
we considered government care.

We are not moving my brother.

He's more important
than your own children?

- Dad!
- How dare you!

Stop it, Dad! Please, just stop.

I'm sorry. Julianna, this is not your fault.

We'll work this out, I promise.

That was the first time I ever heard
my parents really yell at each other.

I'm sorry about tonight.

That night they each came into my room.

My father talked about his brother
and how much he loved him...

...and how he promised his parents
he'd always take care of him.

My mother talked about how much
she loved my father...

...for his strength and kind heart.

When she kissed me good night...

...she whispered that of all her
many blessings, I was her best.

I felt sorry for my father.

I felt sorry for my mother.

But most of all,
I felt lucky for me that they were mine.

I wanted to think the reason
I started working on my yard...

...had nothing to do with Bryce.
It was about making our house better.

After what he did with the eggs,
why should I care what he thought?

But I did.

Are you pruning that
or trying to hack it to death?

Hi. I'm Chet Duncan,
Bryce's grandfather.

Sorry it's taken me so long
to come over and introduce myself.

Nice to meet you.

So are you trimming all these
to the same height?

Well, yeah, that's what I was thinking,
but I don't know.

Do you think it would look better
to take them out?

Oh, these are Hicksii shrubs.
These will prune up nicely.

Listen, Mr. Duncan.

Call me Chet.

Chet.

If you're here
because of what Bryce said...

...I don't need your help.

Read about you in the paper.

Renee would've sat up in that tree
with you.

She would've sat up there all night.

Renee?

My wife.

You remind me a lot of her.

We worked on the yard for weeks.

And the whole time we worked,
we talked.

- Right there?
- Perfect, yeah.

He wanted to know more
about the sycamore tree.

He knew exactly what it meant...

...about the whole being greater
than the sum of its parts.

He said it was the same with people...

...but sometimes with people,
the whole could be less.

I thought that was pretty interesting.

I started looking at people
I'd known since elementary school...

...trying to figure out if they were more
or less than the sum of their parts.

Chet was right. A lot of them were less.

Of all my classmates, the one person
I couldn't seem to place was Bryce.

Until recently, I would've said
with absolute certainty...

...that he was greater, far greater,
than the sum of his parts.

But now I wasn't so sure.

It's looking good, Juli. Nice job.

Thanks. Chet did most of it.

I'm sorry for what I did.

I just don't get it, Bryce.

Why didn't you just tell me?

Was he really sorry?

Or was he just saying these things
to make himself feel better?

Then I thought maybe I just wanted him
to be more than the sum of his parts.

But as I looked into his eyes...

...those dazzling eyes...

...for the first time...

...I was pretty sure
that Bryce Loski was less.

We're going to invite the Bakers
over for dinner.

- What?
- I don't know, Mom.

I think that's a marvelous idea.

Patsy, what purpose does this serve?

Trina Baker is a very nice person.

- And Matt and Mark are really cool.
- I hate cool.

Something we should've done years ago.

Yeah, but we didn't. And now we can't.

The statute of limitations has run out.

We're having the Bakers over for dinner.

If this is about what I said last night,
I'm sorry, okay?

But, you know, having them over for dinner
is not gonna fix his brother.

It's going to be a sit-down dinner.

And I expect everyone
to dress accordingly.

Oh, God. Can't we just have a barbecue?

It's going to be a sit-down dinner.

Just shoot me now.

Careful what you wish for.

So that was it.

A dress-up, sit-down dinner with Juli Baker
was in my immediate future.

And that made seeing Juli at school
more uncomfortable.

I found myself staring at her in class.

And the way her hair fell back
over her shoulders...

...she looked just like the picture
in the newspaper.

Dana Tressler caught me watching.

If I didn't do something fast,
this could spread like wildfire.

There was a bee in her hair.

See, there it goes.

There's no bee.

It flew out the window.

I convinced myself I'd dodged a bullet.

I had to put Juli out of my mind.

Keep the focus on the important stuff
like schoolwork.

My weakness was unnerving.

I need your sharpener.

- You ever heard of knocking?
- Hey, what you got there? Dad's Playboy?

None of your business.

- Give my best to Miss October.
- Get out.

- Or should I say your best? Ha, ha.
- You're disgusting.
