Imaginary Heroes Movie Quotes
Shelly Chan
[commencement address]
These were the best years of our lives. At least that's what they told us. Personally, I hated high school. I hated all of you and I hope you all rot in hell. Thank you.

Is there such a thing as the human heart, now there's the better question.

Well, if you listen closely, you can hear 'em breaking.

Kyle Dwyer
Look at the stars. Same stars as last week. Last year. When we were kids. When we weren't even born. In a hundred years, no one will ever know who we were... They'll know those same stars.

Tim Travis
People are so stupid. I can't bear to live round them anymore.
Sandy Travis
They only get worse. You just have to find the one quality that makes them bearable. Like me. I'm your mother, so, you have to like me.
Tim Travis
Okay. What about dad's?
Sandy Travis
Well, he used to make me feel like I was the only person in a crowded room.

Tim Travis
Matt Travis was a great swimmer. But it wasn't just that he was a great swimmer, it was simply that he was greater at swimming than anyone I ever knew was good at whatever they were good at.

Sandy Travis
Look, you can tease, torture, punch, drive drunk with me. I can forgive you. Hell, I can understand it, I'm a good Christian. You know, I can forgive and forget. But, um, you mess with my kid, and may God himself descend from heaven to protect you. Because as long as I live - and I *will* outlive you all - I will wake up, and go to sleep at night, just dreaming up ways to make your petty, insignificant lives into hell on earth. You fuck with my kid again, you fuck with him... and I will fuck with everything you hold dear.

Nice trailer.

Sandy Travis
I don't see why we should do this, Ben.
Penny Travis
I agree. It's creepy, okay? This is *really* creeping me out.
Sandy Travis
I won't be making all this extra food for every meal. It's wasteful.
Tim Travis
It doesn't bring him back.
Ben Travis
We do it because I say so. We'll do it because he *will* be alive at this table. And because he is my son. And because he was the *only* thing in this family. You'll make the food, and you'll shut the fuck up.

Vern
What happened to you?
Tim Travis
What happened to *you*?
Vern
Well, I've been trying to relocate, to a higher plane of life, unsuccessfully.
Tim Travis
You have to cut up and down, not across.
Vern
Yeah, if you don't mind bleeding slowly for 5 hours.
Tim Travis
Why?
Vern
Because there is nothing here that I even remotely care about. I've got nothing to fight for, and if I don't want to live here why should I have to, and I don't care how much better off I am than everyone else, that's not the point.
Tim Travis
I think you're my new hero.
Vern
You know, one of two things happens when you meet your heroes, either they're assholes, or they're just like you are. Either way you always lose.
Tim Travis
Hey, guns always hit their mark.
Vern
Yeah, only if you really wanna die.

Steph Connors
[Tim lying on Steph's bed]
Do you wanna talk about it?
Tim Travis
Can we talk about something else?
Steph Connors
Sure.
[pulls Tim's shirt up a little bit and sees a bruise]
Steph Connors
What happened to your back?
[Tim turns over and sits up now facing her]
Tim Travis
I tripped. It's nothing.
Steph Connors
OK.

Tim Travis
What am I going to do for the rest of my life? All of a sudden it matters.
Penny Travis
Well, Tim, the secret to the success of life is to find something you love. Is there something that you love?
Tim Travis
Yes.
Penny Travis
Good. And you have to do that for the rest of your life. And you'd better hope to hell that you're good at it, because if you're not you'll probably fail.
Tim Travis
How do you know if you're good at it?
