Wide Awake (1998 film)

"Before this year, bullies were just bullies for no reason, weirdos were just weird, and daredevils weren't afraid of anything. Before this year, people I loved lived forever. I spent this year looking for something and wound up seeing everything around me. It's like I was asleep before and finally woke up. Know what? I'm wide-awake now."

"My name is Joshua A. Beal. I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. And I believe two things. Not all angels have wings. And sixth grade's got to be easier than this."

"Those are the kids in my class. Kids in uniforms don't smile very much."

"[looking across into girls' play yard] I don't know why they put this fence up. Why would anyone want to go over there, anyway?"

"Sister Terry: Joshua, why do you feel the need to do these things?"

"Mrs. Beal: [waking him] Joshua. Joshua. Joshua, please, you're a 5th grader today, you're almost a man."

"First kisses. Outrageous pranks. A teacher with a killer fastball. To survive this year, Joshua Beal will have to stay..."

"Meeting your best friend. Finding your favorite teacher. Having your first crush. Remember what it felt like to be..."

"A comedy that will raise your spirits and keep you laughing."

"She Had All The Answers... Until Now!"
