Quotes 

• Julia Salinger : [to Griffin]  You go to church?

  Griffin Holbrook : Well, I kind of have to. Part of the military school plan.

  Julia Salinger : My dad used to take us to church...

  Griffin Holbrook : Yeah. My parents too. Every Sunday, my mom and I would have a huge fight over wearing a tie. When I came here, it was like one more thing I have to do, you know? Punishment, great. I don't know. One day, I started to see things differently. I actually started to listen to what the guy was saying. A lot of the stuff I could care less about. But the main stuff, the overall feelings... it's cool. This is the only place where all the bad stuff that I've done... all of the mistakes that I've made, don't matter.

  [pause] 

  Griffin Holbrook : They matter. They just don't change what I'm worth. As a person. Here I'm... loved. No matter what. My parents would never say that to me. Even if they thought it they wouldn't say it. I guess yours can't either, huh?

• Julia Salinger : [to Griffin]  Maybe I'll stay. It's nice here.

  Griffin Holbrook : No, it's not. The music sucks and the people talk funny.

  Julia Salinger : Well, it's nice being with you. What do you have at that place, a bunk? Maybe you could hide me in your bunk.

  Griffin Holbrook : You probably shouldn't joke about that.

  Julia Salinger : Yeah, probably not.

  Griffin Holbrook : Because, uh, I mean, you've got a life back there. You've got... well, a lot of things back there.

  Julia Salinger : Yeah, but I feel so far away from them now. I don't know if I can, you know, feel like this back there.

  Griffin Holbrook : I just think you've got to hang in there and do the time. I mean, that's the one thing you know is going to change. For every sucky day you live, you don't have to live it again. It's done. You did it. Move on. Maybe the next one won't suck.

  Julia Salinger : And if it does?

  Griffin Holbrook : Same philosophy. Just... do the time.
