"Mr. Evans: 48 years ago I marched into war with my friends to fight men in swastikas. Today I see swastikas on young men on the streets of Luton. That was a very brave poem, young man. You must write more and get your message out. N.F. scum indeed!"

"Noor Khan: If we don't try to fix this now we will lose our son for good. And if that happens, I will never forgive you."

"Alan: No one listens to Springsteen anymore. He's history!"

"Viveik Kalra - Javed Khan"

"Dean Charles Chapman - Matt"

"You're very lucky. You'll always be Pakistani. You will never be British!"

"Listen to me, beta. I'm not your typical Pakistani father who says you must be a doctor. I'm saying... lawyer, accountant, estate agent. I'm giving you freedom, see?"

"Roops: Congratulations! You've popped your Bruce cherry. You never forget your first time!"

"Marcus Brigstocke - Robert, Eliza's father"

"[about Denny and Eve's wedding] They were married at a magnificent palace with its very own ocean. The kind of place I had assumed only existed on television. I tried my best to be helpful. I minded my manners, resisted snacking on the trays of exquisite appetizers and made sure to do my business in the flowerbed farthest from the festivities. The place belonged to Eve's parents, Trish and Maxwell, who I confess I first mistook for twins."

"Kevin Costner as Enzo (voice)"

"Milo Ventimiglia as Denny Swift"

"He picked me out of a pile of pups, a tangled mass of paws and tails. He'd stopped at the farm on his way home from the speedway at Yakima. Even back then, I knew I was different than other dogs. My soul just felt more human."

"Amanda Seyfried as Eve Swift"

"[narrating the first lines of the movie] Gestures are all that I have. I have no words I can rely on, because my tongue was designed long and flat and is therefore an ineffective tool for making complicated polysyllabic sounds And that is why I'm here now, waiting for Denny to come home, lying in a puddle of my own making."

"Gary Cole as Don Kitch"

"Ryan Kiera Armstrong as Zoë Swift"

"But the reason I connected with Springsteen is because what he sings about and champions are not only American values but are the best of human values. He talks about working hard and holding on to your dreams and not letting the hardness of the world stop you from letting the best of you slip away."

"[narrating the first lines of the movie] September 1980. My best friend Matt and I have the same birthday. He got a brand-new chopper bike. It's really fast and looks so cool. I got a Rubik's Cube, but Matt gave me this diary that he didn't want, and I'm going to write in it every day. The Russians have been in Afghanistan for 363 days. "Baggy Trousers" by Madness is my favorite song."

"Lorraine Ashbourne - Kathy"

"[about his poems] They're not brilliant, but they're mine."

"Goodbye, cheese and pickle! My summer job is done! The cold war rages on. Reagan and Thatcher are still number one! But I'm stuck in Luton, one of the herd. No fun, freedom or future, 'cause Luton is a four-letter word."

"My dad's not a typical dad. We don't have jokey chats. He's not like the dads you see on the telly. A lot of the time he seems pretty angry at the world. I think Bruce Springsteen would understand my dad, 'cause, like his father, they both came from poor backgrounds, both worked hard in factories, both had dreams that never came true, which left them angry. And they both had sons who wanted the chance to make them proud."

"[writing a poem dedicated to Eliza] In my dreams, I am holding you tight, You are all I ever wanted, Such a magical sight, I feel a buzz of electricity from my feet to fingertips, When I try to imagine, kissing your beautiful lips, A flash of lightning in a midnight storm, gust of wind that lifts me off my feet, a summer ray that radiates heat, every minute I'm with you feels divine and makes you wish you could be mine."
