Movie Quote(s):
- Marc: You see, there was this little boy, and he had this red bicycle. It was new, in perfect nick. And everyday he would just sit and look at it, and he knew that he would never be able to ride it, but he thought that one day he might be able to. That made all the difference.
-
Anna Madden: Is anybody there?
-
Anna Madden: What's snogging like? Sharon: Like kissing a vaccum cleaner.
-
Marc: To be honest, I'd rather draw by myself. I don't like people watching me.
-
Dad Madden: Anna... you're going to be all right. Just stay where you are. Daddy's here.
