Quote That I Live By

There is this not very well-known movie, that is so awesome, that I cannot believe that it wasn't put into theaters, called 10 Inch Hero, here's the basic plot (from their official site):

Four friends deal with their love lives and learn about themselves while working in a funky

sandwich shop in Santa Cruz, California.

 

With the poignant humor and heart of Diner, The Breakfast Club, and Mystic Pizza, here

comes Ten Inch Hero much more than just a sandwich, it’s a story about finding love

where you least expect it.

 

Sex, love and laughs are part of the everyday life in this hip little sub shop in Santa Cruz.  

For the group of friends who work there, it's an oasis on the complex journey through

relationships, a place where they have each other to lean on as they find their way.

 

Piper (played by Elisabeth Harnois), an accomplished artist, comes to town in search of the child she gave up for adoption years earlier, but is surprised at what she finds.

 

Tish (played by Danneel Harris) is a knockout... and a nymphomaniac.  But when will she learn that sex is more than a weapon and find true love?

 

The irreverent and horny Priestly (played by the ever-gorgeous Jensen Ackles) dispenses free-wheeling comic advice to everyone, but how long can he hide his own feelings?

 

Shy Jen (played by Clea DuVall) watches life pass by, afraid to reach out, except through her e-mail romance with a mysterious stranger.  Maybe after Piper and Tish teach her a few things, she'll be ready to meet her online lover in person.

 

Trucker (played by John Doe), a surfer child of the 60s, knows about life.  He owns the sub shop, after all.  So why does he need his young staff to help him discover the love of his life? (Love of his life is Zo, played by Alice Krige)

 

The sign out front says it all: "Help Wanted: normal people need not apply."

This is just the most realistic quote that I could ever relate to that is said by Jen talking to Tish and Piper:

"Girls that look like you don't understand.  I always think like, if I lost 10 lbs. or wore different clothes or got new boobs, that it would make a difference.  But I know the truth... I didn't say that I didn't have a lot to offer, I said that people will never know because they don't see me.  How many proms did you miss because no one asked you?  How many times have your friends left you sitting alone at a club while they went and danced with guys?  Or how many times has a customer completely ignored you to get a better look at me?  So, until that happens, until you're told time and time again that your place in life is in the background, don't tell me it's bullshit, because you don't know."

Babe, the only thing that I can say is that I feel ya, I go through that day in and day out, hoping that day will be different, that I would change in other people's eyes, so that they would see me differently, see me for who I really was.

Teary,
