Famous T.J. Klune Quotes

“You hit your head on a stationary object at the first sight of Kelly. Ox once walked into that wall over there, and then he banged Jessie.” “That’s my sister,” Chris hissed at him, turning to glare over his shoulder at Ox, who seemed to be resolutely ignoring everything that was happening. “I know,” Tanner said. “But it’s true. And then he walked into the side of the house at underage Joe in tiny shorts. And he eventually banged him too.” I looked pleadingly at Gordo. He shook his head furiously. “Leave me out of this. I don’t know the first thing about—” Rico coughed roughly. It sounded strangely like bullshit. “You made heart eyes at Mark,” Tanner accused. “For years.” “I was trying to murder him with the power of my mind,” Gordo retorted. “I don’t do heart eyes. I don’t even know what that is.”

“Later, after the King was gone with a kiss to my forehead, Justin and I remained. We didn’t say anything for a long time. Surprisingly, he spoke first. “I didn’t feel the same way when you first came.” I snorted. “I know.” “I didn’t like you. In fact, I hated you. I still do sometimes.” “I know that too.” “You have to come back.” I looked up, startled, only to find Justin looking more vulnerable, more determined than I’d ever seen him before. “What?” “You have to come back.

So come back, and in one piece, or I swear to the gods, I am going to put you in the dungeon where you’ll poop in buckets for the rest of your days. Do you hear me?”

“Lunch,” I said. “I can do that. Like, you have no idea how much.” “Good,” Kelly said softly. “Maybe we can go to the diner?” I nodded. “Just … can you give me a minute? I’ll meet you out front. Don’t go anywhere, okay?” “I won’t.” He nodded at the others and turned back toward the sidewalk. I whirled around, eyes wide. “What do I do?” “He’s literally standing five feet away,” Gordo said dryly. I lowered my voice. “What do I do?” Gordo sighed and turned his eyes toward the ceiling. “I deserve this. For everything I’ve ever done, I deserve this.”
