The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) Edit

A big deal about itself though, you know what I mean?

A biscuit.

A book about Harvey Milk...

A little closer together.

A little shopping for you before you take off, huh?

A Magnetic Poetry set...

A worse way to be honest with Mary Elizabeth.

About music and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Absolutely not. Charlie, I'm not a bulimic.

After all your help on my Penn State application?

After that, all Patrick could talk about was college and all their futures.

Ah! He's never tossing that salad.

Alice did get into NYU film school.

Alice.

All right, big brother by three weeks, who's your Secret Santa?

All right, Charlie.

All right, Charlie. It's your turn.

All right.

All right. "Chapter One."

All right. All right, guys, I got,

All right. Mary Elizabeth. For you.

All right. We're goin' to Kings after the game if you wanna come.

All the time.

All their lives all the time.

And a mix tape with the song "Asleep" on it twice.

And after a while it sounds crazy.

And everybody laughed but I don't understand what's funny.

And everything that makes you wonder.

And forgive us our trespasses...

And from that moment, I'd know...

And get wasted all the time.

And go stag with her girlfriends instead.

And he said "No," because at least now...

And how for the first time...

And how we've been through the same things.

And I am looking at her.

And I can't turn it off this time.

And I don't know how to not notice it.

And I don't want to be a Mayview kid.

And I had to admit something really upsetting, but...

And I hope you have a great time this summer on your vacations.

And I know it's the last day...

And I need to turn things around.

And I think I might be better at teaching than writing.

And I thought someday I'd be at a party in college or something...

And I tried not to mind that she loves to hold hands...

And I was feeling feverish...

And I wouldn't make you nervous.

And I'd look up and see this person across the room.

And I'm really excited to finally learn...

And in this moment, I swear...

And it gets better.

And just a few hours before, everyone I love...

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us...

And married his nice dad when we moved here.

And maybe if it does get bad again...

And maybe if she didn't put down the books that Mr. Anderson gives me.

And my roommate Katie has the best taste in music.

And normally, I would just blow it off, because school dances suck torture.

And notice I charitably said "girl" and not "person"...

And our pictures will become old photographs.

And parents love you.

And Sam got her letter from Penn State.

And saying that he was going to hell.

And sexist. I mean, it's like "Hey, thanks for the crumb."

And she is so beautiful.

And she let some of the guys feel them.

And she said that when Sam was a freshman...

And she turned her life around.

And since I heard that having a girlfriend makes you happy...

And some unexpected beautiful days.

And that's where we get the term...

And the boyfriend says, "Stop. You're killing him."

And the Schenley Park scene.

And then there was Sam.

And then there's Brad Hays.

And then...

And these assholes, they actually think they're being original.

And think that counts as love.

And thinking about love.

And this club off the Strip. They don't card.

And this one's for me.

And this was to be the night that they were gonna lose their virginity.

And tomorrow, she's leaving.

And wants to go to film school.

And why do they give out letter jackets to marching band?

And you can't have three on a match because then they'd find us.

And you helped me.

And you know what happened?

And you understand.

And you're not small.

And you've known for six months?

And, well, she had boobs in 4th grade.

Anybody else?

Anybody?

Anyone?

Are these all your books, Charlie?

Are we talking about anyone specific?

Are you going to New York?

Are you having a good time?

Are you kidding? I love The Smiths. Best breakup band ever.

Are you okay?

Are you proud to be a senior...

Are you ready to meet some desperate women?

Are you sure it's not a "goddamn biscuit"?

Are you sure it's okay that I come?

Are you sure?

As I enter the school for the first time...

As it turns out, Mr. Anderson is a writer.

As they were all getting ready for their prom.

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

At her going away party...

Aw! Look at you guys.

Basically Craig has been cheating on Sam the whole time.

Beautifully done.

Because Brad had to get drunk every time they fooled around.

Because he wants to be near the music in Seattle.

Because I don't want them...

Because I get to see Sam and Patrick.

Because I know there are people who say all these things don't happen.

Because I might be too busy trying to participate.

Because she's a Buddhist and a punk.

Because she's a Buddhist and a punk.

Because your birthday's on Christmas Eve...

Because, let's face it, I'd smoke all you bitches.

Before my older brother went to play football for Penn State...

Believe it or not, she's gotten straight A's since kindergarten.

Billie Holiday and foreign films.

Bob, did you get him stoned?

Bob.

Box office.

Brad doesn't have to get drunk to love him.

Brad doesn't want anyone to know.

Brad kept saying that his dad would kill him.

Brad?

Brad's father caught them together.

Buddhist, I need you to smile a little bit more.

Bullshit.

But after a while he runs out of things to keep himself numb.

But Brad's a senior.

But despite that distinct possibility...

But for all the wrong reasons.

But he wasn't going to leave without organizing the best senior prank ever.

But he'll be back for New Year's Eve.

But I don't care.

But I don't know what I'd write about.

But I forgive you.

But I got my S.A.T. results back.

But I want to forget about that for a minute, okay?

But I was getting so mad, it was starting to scare me.

But I will say there were some very bad days.

But I'm gonna have to guess Alice.

But I'm trying not to be judgmental.

But I've been trying hard not to be a loser.

But if we could keep it to a dull roar, I'd appreciate it.

But if you knew the things that were in my head most of the time...

But it was enough to start putting these pieces together.

But not like the slap kind. Like, the real kind.

But now she doesn't like to say "Hi" to me anymore.

But right now these moments are not stories.

But she's not bitter or anything. Make no mistake.

But somehow she always acts like my father at the end of a long day.

But the son just yells, "Get out."

But there's history with Mary Elizabeth and Sam.

But they say if you make one friend...

But they're gonna need people when we go to college.

But things are a total disaster.

But tomorrow is my first day of high school ever.

But we can choose where we go from there.

But you wore that toasty costume. It's not like it's cute or original.

But, look,

But, you know, I'm still searching for it, so yeah.

But, you know, it's my last year and...

By listening to Sam's collection of big rock ballads...

Bye, Charlie!

Bye.

C minus! Ladies and gentlemen, I am below average!

Call the police and send them to my house.

Calm down.

Can Charlie come out and play?

Can Charlie come out and play?

Can I ask you something?

Can I have 30 dollars?

Can we be friends again?

Can you imagine that?

Can you see it, Charlie?

Can't save anybody.

Candace. Your brother's on the phone.

Candace...

Cash register.

Catches his son with another boy.

Charlie has a breakdown scheduled for October.

Charlie just told me that his best friend shot himself.

Charlie Kelmeckis.

Charlie tells me you're a Buddhist.

Charlie, Charlie, what do you think about high school?

Charlie, please don't interrupt. You know I hate that.

Charlie, take off your clothes.

Charlie, this is Ponytail Derek.

Charlie, trust me, you don't wanna go back in there.

Charlie, you've gotta break up with her.

Charlie!

Charlie?

Charlie?

Charlie?

Charlie? Come on.

Charlie? Truth or dare?

Charlie.

Charlie.

Charlie.

Charlie.

Charlie.

Charlie.

Charlie.

Charlie.

Charlie...

Color film, but black and white paper for printing.

Come on out.

Come on, Charlie. Charlie!

Come on, get dressed. You're gonna be late for Easter Mass.

Come on, I got dinner ready.

Come on, Sam, he likes it, just look at him.

Come on!

Come on! Let's keep the train rolling.

Come on.

Come out, come out, wherever...

Come out, come out, wherever...

Congratulations.

Craig has flaked out on us again.

Cry me a river.

Dad?

Dare.

Dear friend...

Dear friend...

Definitely.

Delve into our facilities.

Derek, you're Earth Club treasurer. Come on!

Did you already do the term paper on To Kill a Mockingbird?

Did you have fun on your break?

Did you see his face?

Did your older friends pressure you?

Do you always want to be a mama's boy, Derek?

Do you guys know about Schenley Park?

Do you have a favorite band?

Do you like me?

Do you mean the people that I've known since kindergarten...

Do you remember anything before you blacked out?

Do you see her?

Do you trust me?

Do you understand?

Do you want butter on your popcorn?

Do you want me to tell you?

Do you want your friends to know how you got those bruises? Really?

Don't be nervous.

Don't be shy.

Don't be shy.

Don't wake your sister.

Don't wake your sister.

Don't worry, Mr. Anderson, I'm okay.

Don't you get it, Charlie?

Don't you just love old music?

Drum roll.

Either you call me Patrick Or you call me nothing.

Either you call me Patrick Or you call me nothing.

Emerge a star.

Especially because, ever since I blacked out in the cafeteria...

Especially Sam. She's great.

Even if you didn't know what I was talking about...

Even though I counted and I have...

Even when her hands are sweaty.

Every single time!

Everybody!

Everyone...

Everything was going to be okay.

Everything was perfect and they're just about to "do it."

Ew!

Except the final term paper if you get it right.

Excuse me.

Excuse us. Excuse me. Pardon.

Extra danger.

Feel a little silly about being nervous now, huh, Champ?

Fine.

Fine. Okay. Your turn.

First foreign film.

For Christ's sake, I need to use the phone.

For example, I'm trying to participate...

Forget it.

Forty dollars to print Punk Rocky in color next time.

Four, three, two, one.

Freshman year is tough, but...

From the heart.

Genius book.

Get a room.

Get him.

Get out here, buddy.

Get out of the way! Get out of the way!

Gird your loins, procreator.

Give us this day our daily bread...

God bless this food we are about to receive.

God, what am I supposed to...

God, would you turn it down? You're gonna make us deaf.

Goddamn Penguins.

Going to get your birthday present.

Gonna say something?

Good friends?

Good.

Good. 'Cause I made you a mix of it.

Great Gatsby?

Guessing my Secret Santa is Mary Elizabeth.

Guy. Guys. Thank you for such a great year.

Guys, 1210.

Guys, a receipt! She actually paid!

Guys, we have an emergency.

Had lunch with Craig today.

Had their last day of high school ever.

Hand them out, Sam.

Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird.

Have a beautiful first date.

Have a good one, guys.

Have a good summer.

Have a good time at your mom's.

Have fun.

Have I ever kissed a girl?

Have you ever heard this before?

Have you ever kissed a girl?

Have you guys felt this carpet?

Have you heard of the Sadie Hawkins dance?

Having to take freshman shop, Patty Cakes?

He also invented the serial.

He always says he feels free and tonight is his destiny.

He and Brad played together...

He and his wife might go back there after this year.

He begins every night really excited.

He even drew on Mr. Callahan's legendary goatee...

He even had a play put up in New York once...

He gives me one every week.

He had a man hanging from a cliff by his fingernails.

He knows me.

He really knows me.

He said he was sorry and that I was right to break up with him.

He used to come over to the house all the time.

He was a little nervous about starting high school today, so I made it for him.

He was British.

He was just trying to make us freshmen feel better.

He was my dad's boss.

He was my...

He wasn't doing the impersonation to be mean or anything.

He's going to be first string this year.

He's never hit me before, and I promise you, he will never hit me again.

He's not my boyfriend. He's my stepbrother.

He's opinionated. We have intellectual debates.

He's sensitive.

He's still trying to shag that waitress from the Olive Garden.

Hello! And the front door opens, it's my parents!

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hence the term "cliff hanger."

Her best friend Alice loves vampires...

Here he is.

Here. Feel.

Hey, babe.

Hey, Candace.

Hey, Charlie, you want this?

Hey, don't worry about Penn State. You're just wait listed.

Hey, everyone!

Hey, freshman toad.

Hey, have you heard from Patrick?

Hey, honey. Ah.

Hey, Nothing.

Hey, Patrick.

Hey, Sam.

Hey, you know what? Why don't you guys get a room?

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Look who's here.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey. Do you wanna get out of here?

Hey. Thanks for paying, Charlie.

Hey. You're in my shop class, right?

High school is even worse than middle school.

High school?

His name was Robert.

Hmm!

Hmm?

Hmm.

Honey, I think we're gonna have to do...

Honey?

Hop, freshman toads! Hop! Let's move it!

How about something a little bit more upbeat, huh?

How are you feeling, Charlie?

How crazy you really were, no one would ever talk to you?

How do you feel, Charlie?

How do you stop seeing it?

How do you think the Penguins are gonna do this year, Dad?

How I didn't want to go out with Mary Elizabeth after Sadie's, but...

How I'm both happy and sad.

How long do you think?

How long does this take to work?

How long have you been boyfriend and girlfriend?

How you doing, Charlie?

How'd your S.A.T.'s go, by the way?

How's it goin'?

How's your clock coming?

How's your first relationship going?

However, if you and I had gone to a Shakespeare play...

Huh. Now why do you say that?

I am here.

I am not a mama's boy!

I am writing to you because she said you listen and understand.

I asked my sister about her...

I asked Patrick if he felt sad...

I can do that?

I can even get into a real college.

I can handle him.

I can make you guys a copy if you want.

I can see it.

I can't even be mad at him. Look at him.

I can't feel that.

I can't hear you!

I can't say I blame him really.

I can't stop her. I'm crazy again.

I completely agree.

I concede!

I could meet the love of my life any second.

I couldn't find that song that we were listening to...

I dare you to kiss Alice.

I didn't know how tonight was gonna go, but .

I didn't see anything.

I didn't think anyone noticed me.

I don't care.

I don't know if I will have the time to write any more letters...

I don't know what to say.

I don't know why, because her family is rich...

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't think he has any friends.

I don't wanna bring back silverware.

I don't want to be somebody's crush.

I don't want you to do that.

I feel infinite.

I feel like I'm finally doing good.

I felt like I belonged somewhere.

I felt really bad for Patrick.

I figure you don't get that many presents?

I found the tunnel song.

I got jumped in a parking lot.

I got you this book.

I guess she had a reputation.

I had a blast. I hope you did, too.

I have a chance. Like...

I have a chance. Like...

I have received a harmonica...

I have received socks, pants, a shirt and a belt.

I have to do much better.

I have to get this driveway clean.

I heard it on Ponytail Derek's mix tape.

I heard you were gonna be in my class.

I hope it works out.

I hope it's okay for me to think that.

I just can't believe it.

I just can't believe you're my boyfriend.

I just didn't think that you wanted that.

I just get so messed up inside.

I just hope I make a friend soon.

I just hope she can stop playing dumb with these guys.

I just need to know that people like you exist.

I just need to meet a good guy.

I just really want a milk shake.

I just wanna make sure that the first person who kisses you...

I just want you to be happy.

I just wish I could have found another way to break up.

I just wish it were happening to me.

I keep telling her, "Don't make yourself small."

I keep trying, but I can't really remember what I did.

I kept thinking about the happy girl in these pictures.

I killed Aunt Helen, didn't I?

I kinda wished he'd left a note. You know what I mean?

I know I should have been honest...

I know I'm quiet.

I know these will all be stories someday.

I know this is hard for you.

I know this is selfish, but I really hope he doesn't.

I know who you are, Sam.

I know. I just feel really bad about what I did.

I learned that back in 'Nam in '68.

I like to see how happy she was before she knew.

I look forward to that big talk.

I love bulimia!

I love you guys!

I love you, Charlie.

I love you, too.

I mean the way they treat those...

I mean, come on, "spaz"?

I mean, I have no idea.

I need you to promise...

I probably should have been honest about...

I probably won't tell them the truth...

I read this in 7th grade.

I really didn't mean anything by it. I'm sorry.

I really didn't want to hurt her feelings.

I remember leaving Sam's house.

I saw Mary Elizabeth checking you out.

I should go back and apologize.

I started seeing things, so I passed out.

I think I understand, because I really like Sam.

I think so.

I think the time is right now.

I think you could write one of them one day.

I thought maybe if she would just let me pick the make out music...

I thought you should have my clock.

I thought your brother would have told you. It's a classic.

I told you, just give 'em a smile...

I tried hard to love her like I love Sam.

I try. Sam, I try.

I used to get "spaz".

I wanna do Secret Santa forever!

I wanna move to a house like this in Cape Cod.

I want people to like the real me.

I want you to know that I was in a bad place before I started high school.

I wanted her to know about that night we went through the tunnel.

I was 11.

I was happy because they were happy...

I was so hungry at the dance. I was gonna go to Kings...

I was walking home. And...

I will visualize what it will be like...

I wish I would have studied freshman year.

I won't go into detail about all of it.

I would happily not take shop.

I would have called it On Boring Pond.

I would never do drugs. Never.

I, um...

I'd hate for her to judge me based on what I used to be like.

I'd love to expose you to great things like...

I'll be there in a minute.

I'll give you a free "A" on anything...

I'll help you study for the next one.

I'll tell you something, Charlie...

I'll tell you, Sam.

I'll try not to make you too jealous.

I'm actually starting to hate pizza.

I'm also writing essays and studying extra books outside of class.

I'm begging you to do this for me.

I'm doing okay.

I'm Dr. Burton.

I'm driving away and was feeling so small.

I'm free now, right?

I'm going to congratulate you on being happy.

I'm gonna be your teacher for freshman English.

I'm gonna have to go with...

I'm gonna say "no" on that, but nice try. Charlie.

I'm in such a good mood I don't think even he could ruin it.

I'm just sayin'.

I'm just thinking...

I'm Mr. Anderson.

I'm not picturing things anymore.

I'm really sorry we can't be here for your birthday.

I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to do anything.

I'm really sorry. That sounded like a compliment in my head.

I'm shocked. All right. Well, you can skip the quiz...

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so touched!

I'm sorry I haven't written for a while...

I'm sorry, the kid's a pussy. I can't stand him.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm talking about your pet ape just tripped me.

I'm tired of touching her boobs.

I've been away for two months.

I've called him 30 times.

I've looked at her picture since that night.

I've tried to stop thinking that, but I can't.

If my Aunt Helen were still here, I could talk to her...

If my parents ask me about it...

If you fail me, you get me next semester.

If you tell me which author invented the paperback book.

If you want to get better...

In fact, at the end of the third chapter of his first novel...

In hindsight, I probably could not have picked...

In middle school, Susan was very fun to be around...

In the meantime, I'd hoped that my sister, Candace, and her boyfriend, Derek...

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

Innocent.

Is it bad tonight?

Is it?

Is that Brad Hays?

Is the only friend I make today...

Is this your room?

Isn't it quiet?

Isn't this the best milk shake ever, Alice?

It all feels very exciting.

It really is.

It so is.

It sure is a nice house.

It was a mistake, I'm sorry.

It would have cost us four pennies.

It'll be our little secret, okay?

It'll be our little secret. Okay?

It's a bit of a mess.

It's a record store downtown.

It's a surprise.

It's a tradition.

It's all about that night in the tunnel.

It's all my fault.

It's all right.

It's an antique joke. It's over.

It's an endless nightmare.

It's another world.

It's been getting worse.

It's best if you just stay away for a while.

It's even better than the first one.

It's just a mix tape. No big deal.

It's like when you say your name over and over again in the mirror...

It's my first date, I don't have much to compare it to.

It's nice to meet you, Charlie. I'm Sam.

It's not a sport.

It's Patrick!

It's really how I became a vegan.

It's really nice, isn't it?

It's really sweet and everything, but,

It's ruined. Okay?

It's so bad...

It's so nice to meet you.

It's stuck. It's just...

It's them. It's everyone. It never stops.

It's too late, Charlie.

It's true. You can do it.

It's up the stairs.

Just 1,385 days.

Just asking myself, "Why do I and everyone I love..."

Just don't wake up Mom and Dad.

Just lucky, I guess.

Just we've all become such good friends.

Last day.

Leave him alone!

Let's drive.

Let's eat.

Let's get this party started.

Let's get this party started.

Let's go be psychos together.

Let's go, Devils!

Let's just see.

Let's think. Charlie.

Like Aunt Helen's boyfriends?

Like I'm not there or something.

Like, if you met me you wouldn't...

Listened to "Asleep," wrote a poem...

Look up.

Look who's here.

Look, Charlie, she's fast asleep.

Look, I egged him on. You saw it.

Look, I know. I'm sorry.

Look, my name is Patrick.

Love always, Charlie.

Love it. Love football.

Loves you.

Ma, you look so thin.

Make a wish, honey.

Make us solve crimes.

Man, your mix is morbidly sad, kid.

Mary Elizabeth is really interesting...

Mary Elizabeth, I think you're really gonna regret that...

Mary Elizabeth, I've been listening to the Billie Holiday CD every night.

Mary Elizabeth, Samantha told me that you got into Harvard. Congratulations.

Mary Elizabeth, why are you trying to eat Christmas?

Maybe I can join the cast as an alternate or something.

Maybe I could still give you books next year.

Maybe I'll see you around in school? ♪

Maybe my old friend Susan would wanna have lunch with me.

Maybe tomorrow I'll take you to this karaoke place downtown.

Maybe you know my brother then.

Maybe.

Mayview Hospital.

Meet Charlie.

Mm hmm.

Mmm! You're a monster.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm. What a great word. Milk shake.

Mom and Dad are gonna be home with Chris any second.

Mosquito bites. Promising. Go.

Most of them are idiots.

Mr. Anderson?

Multiple pairs of blue jeans.

My best friend, Michael, his dad was a big drinker...

My brother and sister always came for those...

My brother said Penn State has this restaurant called Ye Olde College Diner.

My dad's building it for me.

My fault.

My favorite time, though, is lunch...

My God!

My last class of the day is Advanced English...

My mom finally left my worthless dad...

My sister finally decided to break up with Derek...

My sister told me she met a nice guy at her summer job.

My turn. Let's see.

My wife and I like it here.

Never see you coming.

Nice look, jag off.

Nice suit.

Nice Trapper Keeper, faggot.

Nick Drake.

No matter what Patrick did...

No more applications! No more S.A.T.'s!

No one pressured me, Officer.

No shit? Your sister's dating Ponytail Derek, isn't she?

No, he told me to stay away.

No, it was some kids from North Hills.

No, no, no, I'll sit.

No, not me.

No, that's okay. I'm just sorry you have to go back and visit your dad.

No, you know what I mean.

No, you're doing something wrong, I think.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. Charlie Charlie, just go. I can handle it.

No. Charlie, listen to me.

No. I saw them when I was little...

No. Mama Patrick says "No."

No. No way. No. I'm not.

No. No, no, no.

No. Of course not. You went home...

Nope.

Nope.

Not even like a second grade Valentine?

Not now, Charlie. I'm sorry.

Not really.

Not really. How about you?

Nothing, why don't you read first?

Nothing, why don't you read first?

Nothing.

Nothing.

Now just let it breathe.

Now look at you in that suit.

Now who here is gonna read for pleasure this summer?

Now, who'd like to get out of the first pop quiz?

Obviously, it is completely stupid.

Obviously.

Of course I did.

Of course.

Office Max.

Oh, Charlie! You look like you could use a brownie.

Oh, don't worry about that.
