- Jonathan 'J.J.' Jones: You're a walking cliche young Kayleigh
- Kayleigh: It may be just a silly book, but there's nothing wrong with a love story.
- Jonathan 'J.J.' Jones: They're unrealistic. All faory godmothers, true love, happily ever-afters. I'm afraid they just don't happen.
- Kayleigh: They do sometimes.
- Jonathan 'J.J.' Jones: I'm sorry but they don't. The media's idea of love is an impossible ideal, created by corporations of the world to sell books, cinema-tickets, cards, chocolates, flowers, and like those things, nothing lasts forever.

- Kayleigh: Tell me you love me, and... I'll won't go. If you love me then I'll stay with you forever.
- Jonathan 'J.J.' Jones: I'll still be here for you when you get back. I'm not going anywhere. Besides, we've got the whole summer together.
- Stacey: Rebecca, my little sweetheart! Where is she? Where is mummy's little angel?
- Jonathan 'J.J.' Jones: Stacey, when you're sober we've got a lot to talk about. But right now you need coffee, and some water, and to get to bed.
- Stacey: But it's nearly time for school
- Jonathan 'J.J.' Jones: School? I thought we're on summer holidays right now?
- Kayleigh: We broke up early. The other kids still haver a week to go.
- Stacey: She's still at school? J.J you bad boy!
