Jesse: I'm going to be 17 forever!
Jesse: Spend forever with me, Winnie?
Young Pastor: You speak blasphemy, sir.
Man in the Yellow Suit: Fluently.
Angus Tuck: If there's one thing I've learned about people, many will do anything, anything not to die. And they'll do anything to keep from living their life.
Angus Tuck: What we Tucks have you can't call it living. We just... are. We're like rocks, stuck at the side of a stream.
Angus Tuck: Don't be afraid of death, Winnie. Be afraid of the unlived life.
Miles: Immortality isn't everything the preachers rack it up to be.
Jesse: I will love you until the day I die!
Jesse: I'm gonna be 17 until the end of the world!
Narrator: Time passes slowly for some. An hour can seem an eternity. For others, years go by as in the blink of an eye. For Jesse Tuck, time didn't exist.
Jesse: You just don't want me to have what you lost!
Narrator: Tuck said it to Winnie the summer she turned 15: Do not fear death, but rather the unlived life. You don't have to live forever. You just have to live. And she did.
Jesse: How am I supposed to take you home when I can't make my feet move from this spot. If I could die tomorrow I would, just so I could spend one more night with you.
Mrs. Foster: Every time I look at you, you're different. I'm losing you, too.
Winnie: I'm right here.
Mrs. Foster: Forgive me, Winnie. I just wanted to keep you my little girl forever.
Winnie: I can't swim.
Jesse: You're joshing me!
Winnie: I wish I were.
Jesse: So, you're afraid you'll drown right? Swallow too much water, sink to the bottom and die!
Winnie: Thank you for putting it so vividly, and yes, considering I'd sink like a rock, drowning is a fair concern!
Jesse: Well, I guess I'm just gonna have to enjoy this all by myself.
Winnie: I want a drink first.
Jesse: No. You can't drink that water. It's poison.
Winnie: I saw you drinking from it.
Jesse: Well now I'm feeling sick.
Mr. Foster: Just... what is your game, sir?
Man in the Yellow Suit: What is my game? You detect in me a playful mood?
Jesse: I'm going to see the whole world, every speck of it. Heck, I may even find some new continents or something!
Winnie: Jesse don't let go!
Jesse: It's ok, it's ok. There's no chance of that Winnie Foster. I'll never let you go.
Mrs. Foster: I don't know everyone nor do I want to.
Narrator: Winnie Foster was to be sent 500 miles away to be educated, but what her parents didnt understand was that she only wanted to step outside her fence... so she did. What in these quiet woods should be so forbidden? Winnie had always sensed a mystey waiting for her there.
Jesse: You shouldnt be in these parts of the woods. It's best you turn around and go home.
Jesse: Well go on now get!
Winnie: Excuse me, but I own these woods and I'll go on an get when I want to.
Miles: The water tasted like... heaven. It floated over your tongue like a cloud.
Winnie: I don't wanna die, is that wrong?
Angus Tuck: No. It's part of being human.
