About a Boy (film)

"Suddenly I realized – two people isnt enough. You need backup. If there are only two people, and someone drops off the edge, then youre on your own. Two isnt a large enough number. You need three at least."

"In my opinion, all men are islands. And whats more, nows the time to be one. This is an island age."

"I wanna be with her more, I wanna be with her all the time, and I wanna tell her things I dont even tell you or mum. And I dont want her to have another boyfriend. I suppose if I could have all those things, I wouldnt really mind if I touched her or not."

"[Thinking] I used to think two wasnt enough. Now there were loads of people... I dont know what Will was so upset about. All I meant was I dont think couples are the future. You need more than that. You need backup. The way I saw it, Will and I both had backup now. Its like that thing he told me Jon Bon Jovi said: "No man is an island."

"He fancies you. He told me."

"[Regarding the first SPAT meeting] Ill tell you one thing. Men are bastards. After about ten minutes I wanted to cut my own penis off with a kitchen knife."
