- Young Pastor: You speak blasphemy, sir.
- Man in the Yellow Suit: Fluently.
- Winnie: I can't swim.
- Jesse: You're joshing me!
- Winnie: I wish I were.
- Jesse: So, you're afraid you'll drown, right? Swallow too much water, sink to the bottom, and die!
- Winnie: Thank you for putting it so vividly, and yes, considering I'd sink like a rock, drowning is a fair concern!
- Jesse: Well… I guess I'm just gonna have to enjoy this all by myself.
- Angus Tuck: What we Tucks have, you can't call it living. We just… are. We're like rocks, stuck at the side of the stream.
- Angus Tuck: If there's one thing I've learned about people, many will do anything — anything — not to die. And they'll do anything to keep from living their life.
- Angus Tuck: Don't be afraid of death, Winnie. Be afraid of the unlived life.
- Mrs. Foster: Every time I look at you, you're different. I'm losing you, too.
- Winnie: I'm right here.
- Mrs. Foster: Forgive me, Winnie. I just wanted to keep you my little girl forever.
- Narrator: Tuck said it to Winnie the summer she turned 15: Do not fear death, but rather the unlived life. You don't have to live forever. You just have to live. And she did.
