Quotes / Precocious Crush

Mathilda: [jumps into bed] Leon, I think I'm kind of falling in love with you.
Mathilda: [Spit Take by Leon] It's the first time for me you know.
Leon: How do you know it's love if you've never been in love before?
Mathilda: Cause I feel it.
Leon: Where?
Mathilda: [points to her belly] In my stomach. It's all warm now. I always had another and now it's gone.

What am I to you?
Do you look down on me cause I'm younger?
Do you think that I don't understand?

Dipper: Look, Wendy, about earlier... in the heat of the moment, I might have said some dumb things, and can't we pretend none of that ever happened? Please?
Wendy: Dude. Dude. It's okay. I always kinda knew.
Dipper: You did?
Wendy: [chuckles] Yeah, man, you think I can't hear that stuff you're constantly whispering under your breath?
Dipper: [facepalming] Oh, man!
Wendy: Listen Dipper, I'm like, super flattered, but... I'm too old for you. I mean, you know that, right?
Dipper: Mabel said confessing would make me feel better.
Wendy: Well, how do you feel?
Dipper: Anxious. Scared. Kinda itchy.
Wendy: Dude, don't be itchy, man. Let me tell you something. This summer was super boring until you showed up. I have more fun with you than practically anybody else. And if you ever stopped being my friend, I would, like, throw myself into the Bottomless Pit!
Dipper: So things won't be too awkward now?
Wendy: I just wrestled myself, dude. That was awkward. If you can handle that monster, you can handle a little awkwardness.
Dipper: Friends?
Wendy: Yeah, dude. Friends.

I have a secret valentine.

She sits in front of me.

I don't know where she lives,

But her name is Rose Marie.

She's blonde and tall and beautiful.

She's smart, and really cool.

She's just about the prettiest girl,

In this entire school.

I've got to keep my secret.

I can't tell anyone.

'Cause...

Rose Marie's my teacher,

And I'm in her Grade One.

Iryk: You kinda should. You kinda should ask a lady for her age in this case.
