【选段台词】

Bryce:(Seventh grade brought changes, all right. But the biggest one didnt happen at school. It happened at home. My grandfather came to live with us. Mom said he stared like that because he misses Grandma. That was not something Grandpa would ever talk about with me. As a matter of fact, he never talked about much of anything with me. That is, until Juli appeared in the local newspaper.)

Grandfather: Oh, Bryce. May I speak with you?

Bryce: What?

Bryces grandfather:Have a seat, son. Tell me about your friend Juli Baker.

Bryce: Juli. Shes not exactly my friend.

Bryces Grandfather:Oh. Whys that?

Bryce:Why do you wanna know?

(Now Juli Baker did not wind up in the Mayfield Times for being an eighth-grade Einstein. No, she got front-page coverage because she refused to climb out of a sycamoretree. Juli Baker and that stupid sycamore tree. She always thought it was Gods gift to our little corner of the universe.）

Juli:Hi,Bryce. Wanna come climb the tree with me and my brothers?

Bryce: No, thanks.

Juli:Bryce.Come up here. Its fun. You can see everything.

Bryce:I cant. My dad needs me to help him fixa thing.

(Thats all I needed. Climb up a tree with Juli Baker. Id bedraggedrightback into the second grade. Bryce and Juli sitting in a tree. Why dont you just make me eat limabeans for the rest of my life.)

Juli: its three blocks away!Two blocks!One block away!

Bryce:Like thats valuable information.

Garrett:I hate it when she does that. I like to think theres at least a chance the bus wont show.

Juli:I think the tree looks particularly beautiful in this light. Dont you?

Bryce:If by beautiful you mean unbelievably ugly, Then, yes, I would agree.

Juli:Youre just visually challenged. I feel sorry for you.

Bryce:(Visually challenged? This from the girl who lived in a house that was the joke of the neighborhood? They had bushes growing over windows and weeds all over the place. It bugged my dad bigtime.)

Bryces dad:Oh, there he is. The bricklayerwho thinks hes a painter. The trucks not ugly enough in real life? Hes gotta make a painting of it?

Bryces sister:No, he does landscapes. Sells them at the county fair. People say theyre beautiful.

Bryces dad:Landscapes? Let me tell you something. The world would have more beauty in it if hed do a little landscaping on that piece of crabhe calls a yard.

Bryce mother:I feel bad for his wife. She married a dreamer. Because of that ,one of the two of them will always be unhappy.

Bryces father:yeah, fine. But why do we have to be unhappy?

Bryce:(As annoying as the yard was to my dad, it was nothing compared to how annoying Juli Baker was in that tree.)

Juli:Three blocks away！

Bryce:( Every morning we had to listen to the sound of her blow-by-blow traffic report.)

Juli:Two blocks!

Others: (There we go.)
