Movie Quotes: Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

down to visit your dead relatives?

to see your friends in Brooklyn,
or the ferry to stunt an island.

If the sun where to explode, 
you wouldn't even know about it for 8 minutes. 
Because that's how long it takes 
for light to travel to us.
For 8 minutes, the world would still be bright, 
and it would still feel warm.
- Oskar

If there was a key, there was a lock.
If there was a name, there was a person.

You know grandma, brought me to this place.
My favorite, the one two the third from the right,
because I thought it would go higher than any other one.
So in every way I got home, I had swing.
It just me and the swing.
I do a lot of thinking up here, 
especially when I learned how to pull.
I would go as high as I could go, 
until I cannot go any higher, and then, I would jump.
Ahh... for a moment, I would free as a bird.
You should give it a whirl Oskar.
- Thomas

I broke everything down into the smallest parts,
and try to think of each person as a number,
in a gigantic equation.

But it wasn't working, because people aren't like numbers, 
they're more like letters. And those letters want to become stories
and dad said that story need to be share.
- Oskar
