Bridge to Terabithia

Leslie Burke:
Just close your eyes and keep your mind wide open.

Leslie Burke:
We rule Terabithia, and nothing crushes us!

Leslie Burke:
You are who you are, not your parents.

Leslie Burke:
[Jesse tries to hand Leslie the fake letter to Janice Avery] You have to write. Boy's handwriting sucks. No offense.

Leslie Burke:
[seeing Jesse smiling at Ms. Edmonds, bends down] Take a picture. Lasts longer.

Leslie Burke:
[on the ride back from church, about Christianity] You have to believe it, and you hate it. I don't have to believe it, and I think it's beautiful.

Jesse Aarons:
I have four sisters. And I'd trade them all in for a good dog.

Jesse Aarons:
What's so great about being serious all the time anyway?

Jesse Aarons:
(Leslie has just died and Jesse father tries to comfort Jesse) Is it like The Bible says? Is she going to Hell?

Mrs. Myers:
If any of you try to download this essay, you will be downloaded into detention.

Leslie Burke, May Belle Aarons, Little Kids:
[chanting] Free the pee! Free the pee! Free the pee!

Bill Burke:
She loved you, you know.

Bill Burke:
Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing - Teddy Roosevelt said that, not me.

Jack Aarons:
She brought you something special when she came here, didn't she? That's what you hold on to. That's how you keep her alive.

May Belle Aarons:
(To Leslie) If you don't believe in the bible, God'll damn you to hell when you die!

Mrs. Myers:
Jesse Aarons! I got it from your sisters. I certainly do not need it from you!

Jesse Aarons:
What happened to you?

Leslie Burke:
Janice Avery is a very talented person. She can shoot ketchup packets over four rows of seats.

[Jesse snickers]

Jesse Aarons:
Jeez.

Scott Hoager:
So I guess you're the fastest kid in school now, huh?

[Jesse makes a fist at him]

Scott Hoager:
It's a joke, dude!

[punches him hard into a wall]

Scott Hoager:
Are you nuts?

Jesse:
That's what Leslie Burke says, she told me to keep my mind wide open.

Ms. Edmonds:
Leslie Burke is right. With a mind like yours wide open, you could create a whole new world.

Leslie:
I don't think God goes around damning people to hell.

Jesse:
Why not?

Leslie:
Because He's too busy running all this!

Leslie:
My dad says that TV kills your brain cells.

Scott Hoager:
Your dad doesn't know any thing. We watch TV, like every day!

Leslie:
I rest my case.

Jesse:
[crying] Is it like bible says? Is she going to hell?

Jack Aarons:
[shakes head] I don't know everything about God. But I do know he's not goanna sent the little girl to hell.

Jesse:
[sobs] Then I'm going to hell because it's all my fault!

Jesse:
It's just that you're a good builder... for a girl.

Leslie:
Yeah, well you're pretty good at art... for a boy!

Jesse:
Hey, guys.

May Belle:
See? I told you.

Mary:
Oh, my God, Jess. [hugs him] [sobs]

Jack:
Where in God's name have you been?

Mary:
Where have you been?

Jesse:
Mom... I asked you. It wasn't like--

Brenda:
We thought you were dead.

Jack:
Brenda, hush.

Jesse:
Dead? What's going on?

Jack:
Your friend Leslie's dead. She drowned in a creek this morning. Apparently, she tried to swing across on a rope, but it broke. They think she hit her head.

Jesse:
No. No, it... it's... It's not that kind of rope. It... It... It couldn't break. It wouldn't have.

Jack:
But it did. [gets up from the chair and tries to comfort him] I'm sorry, son.

Jesse:
[backs away] No, you're lying. She's not even dead! You're lying! [throws the book to the floor and runs out of the house to find Leslie, only to find the police at her place, believing she's really dead]

Mary:
Jess! [sobs]

“Keep your eyes closed and your mind wide open”

Scott Hoager:
So I guess you're the fastest kid in school now, huh?

[Jesse makes a fist at him]

Scott Hoager:
It's a joke, dude!

[he furiouly punches him hard into a wall, everyone gasped and looked at Jesse]

Scott Hoager:
Are you nuts?!

Mrs. Myers:
[furious] Jess Aarons! Go wait for me out in the hall right now!

[Jesse gets up from his desk to leave]

Mrs. Myers:
[to her students] Silent reading until I get back. [she follows Jesse]

[After he helped May Belle up from the log bridge]

Jesse:
What were you thinking?

May Belle:
I was worried about you.

Jesse:
Well, don't be. I just don't want you here.

[he jumped angrily in front of May Belle]

May Belle:
But I wanna come with you.

Jesse:
[sternly] This is our place, go home. This is our place!

[She followed Jess, but he stopped]

Jesse:
[furious] I said GO HOME!!!

[he pushed May Belle furiously, her feelings starts to hurt, then she leaves the scene]

Leslie Burke:
I check my air... I dont have as much time as i need to see everything, but that what makes it so special.
