Set It Up (2018) dir. Claire Scanlon
You wish you could have been normal… I can promise you I do not. The world is an infinitely better place precisely because you weren’t.
So I’ll be graduating high school in less than two months.
I can honestly say that I hated a lot of my high school career. I really can’t wait to graduate. But I know that when I walk across that stage to get my diploma the following thoughts will run through my head.
“Oh yeah, bout to get my ‘ploma.”
Peggy Carter in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
“He was like a painting you wanted to burn so you could finally stop staring at it.”

Remus: I dunno, just compliment them?
Sirius: have I ever told you how nice your hair looks in the mornings?
Remus: yeah, try that on them
Sirius: they’re really oblivious though
Remus: maybe just tell them you like them, then
Sirius: I like you, Moony
Remus: yeah, exactly like that!
Sirius: …
James: oh my god
