Read our Review of Youth in Revolt
(an aside to the audience while talking with his buddy, Lefty, about his crooked penis) "In case you haven't heard, Lefty's erect member takes a sudden and dramatic turn to the east about midway up." - Nick Twisp, Youth in Revolt
(talking to his mom about another one of her loser boyfriends) "Mom, do you think it's a puppy love thing with Jerry or is he someone I can look forward to having around for years to come?...I think you're selling yourself short, mom. You should leave open the possibility of someone with stretch mark fetishes." - Nick Twisp, Youth in Revolt
(trying to figure a way to get back to Sheeni after he moves back with his mom. To Sheeni:) "I'll do whatever I have to do. I never had anything in my life that I wanted to fight for so much." - Nick Twisp, Youth in Revolt
(talking to Sheeni on the phone) "My one and only love needs me to be bad, to overcome the inhibitions that compel me to be law abiding, respectful of my elders and excessively nice. I've decided to create a supplementary persona named Francois Dillinger - bold, comtemptious of authority and irristible to women. Francois is just the type of aggressive sociopath who can wage and win a war of nerves." - Nick Twisp, Youth in Revolt
(responding to Trent who tells him he should wait for the police to arrest him) "Well, thank you for that unsolicited counsel, Trent. Now please do drop dead." - Nick Twisp, Youth in Revolt
(telling Sheeni how he feels about her) "Sheeni, I've been alone my whole life. I do know what it's like. I burned down Berkeley for you. I destroyed both of my parents' cars. I've lied and manipulated and had you sedated. I did all that so we wouldn't have to be alone anymore." - Nick Twisp, Youth in Revolt
(talking to the audience as the movie ends) "Well, I'm headed for a stint in juvenile detention but I can at least be comforted by the fact that I'm not going in a virgin. At lunch time when the hardened offenders gather around to swap tales of teenage rebellion I bet they'll find mine hard to top." - Nick Twisp, Youth in Revolt
(musing over his adventure) "Sheeni says she will wait for me and that when I'm released we'll finally be together and free and I believe her. I can feel in my heart that Sheeni is in love with me, not with some fantasy lover in a French romantic novel but me, Nick Twisp. It's funny, after all that, Nick Twisp was enough." - Nick Twisp, Youth in Revolt
