Young Jenna: I wanna be thirty. Thirty and flirty and thriving.

Becky: Why are you talking to me?
Jenna: Why not? We are neighbors, right?
Becky: But you usually ignore me.
Jenna: I like your shoes.
Becky: Thanks. I like your dress.
Jenna: That’s because I have these incredible boobs to fill it out!

Beverly: Just because you don’t look like those girls in Poise magazine doesn’t mean you’re not beautiful in your own way.
Young Jenna: I don’t want to be beautiful in my own way. I want to look like these people.
Beverly: Oh, those aren’t people, honey. Those are models.
Young Jenna: Look at this. “Thirty and flirty and thriving. Why the thirties are the best years of your life.” I wanna be thirty.
Beverly: [chuckles] Well, you will be, honey. But right now, you’re my beautiful 13-year-old.

Jenna: I love you, Matt. You’re my best friend.
Matt: Jenna… I’ve always loved you.

Jenna: I don’t know what Lucy said to you about me. But I want you to know that whoever she was talking about wasn’t me.
Matt: It doesn’t matter what Lucy said. I stopped trusting her after she stole my Pop Rocks in the third grade.

Jenna: You want to know a secret?
Matt: Yeah.
Jenna: You’re the sweetest guy I’ve ever known.

Jenna: What happened?
Matt: I don’t know. I can pretty much peg it to your 13th birthday party, when you were in the closet playing that game. Spin the Rapist?
Jenna: [suddenly remembers] Seven Minutes in Heaven. Everybody ditched. And that is the last thing I remembered.

Matt: I have realized these past few days that… you can’t just turn back time.
Jenna: Why not?
Matt: I moved on. You moved on. We’ve gone down different paths for so long. We made choices. I chose Wendy. We care about each other, you know.

Young Matt: You know, I can’t believe you invited those clones.
Young Jenna: They’re my friends.
Young Matt: The Six Chicks are not your friends, okay?
Young Jenna: Well, almost. And someday, I’m gonna BE a Sixth Chick.
Young Matt: There are six of them, Jenna, that’s the whole point. There can’t be a seventh Sixth Chick. It’s just mathematically impossible. Besides you’re way cooler than they are, they’re totally unoriginal.
Young Jenna: I don’t want to be original, Matty, I want to be cool.

Jenna: Matt, stop being so nice to me. I don’t deserve it. Do you know what kind of person I am now, I mean – do you know who I am right now? I don’t have any real friends. I did something bad with a married guy. I don’t talk to my mom and dad. I’m not a nice person. And the thing is – I’m not 13 anymore.

• Mark Ruffalo’s first scene was the “Thriller” dance sequence. He was terrified of doing the scene, but Jennifer Garner’s enthusiasm was “very infectious”. Andy Serkis had to rehearse the scene separately from everybody else because he was in London at the time.
• Jennifer Garner was very happy with the studio’s choice of Christa B. Allen to play the young Jenna Rink. She felt Allen really embodied her at that age, and later got the producers of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) to cast Allen in a similar role.
• When 13-year-old Jenna Rink goes into the closet for “seven minutes of heaven”, you can see actual photos of Jennifer Garner as a child on the back of the door.
• The slumber party scene was forced upon director Gary Winick at the producers’ insistence, over his strenuous objections. He felt it cut away from the Jenna and Matt romance, which was the real crux of the film. But while watching the Blu-ray director’s commentary, he felt this was one of the best scenes in the film.
