August Horn Quotes

August: You know that Erik loved you… more than anything else? That video, with the two of you guys, it wouldn’t have meant a thing. Erik would’ve loved you no matter what. And I am… I’m so sorry… for everything. I really am. I’m sorry, Wilhelm.

Wille: Thank you.

August: I was… so angry with you. ‘Cause you reported me to the police. And I get it. I deserve it. I… I really deserve it. It was my fault. I… I was the one who let you down first. I understand that now. And I don’t want you to… destroy your life ’cause you… you are the only one I’ve ever been able to talk to. You’re the only one who ever understood me. And I’ve missed you. I’ve missed you so freaking much that it hurts. And what we had together, it was good. You made me feel that I could be a better person…

Sara: August.

August: Please… Can’t you at least come back to school? I don’t… I don’t want to be the reason that you don’t come back.

August (about Wille): Well, I guess he’s decided that I am… evil. And… I don’t know, it’s like… It might be true.

School psychologist: What makes you say that, August?

August: I don’t see the point in even trying to be nice when I know that I won’t ever be forgiven anyway.

School psychologist: It can actually make you feel very, very good, being nice to others. And to yourself. And sometimes, it might be impossible to be forgiven. But we still have to find a way to move on. And if we start making different choices, more selfless acts, we can at least get to the point where we can forgive ourselves.

August: I don’t think you understand how much I regret doing what I did. But there’s something wrong with my f**king head, don’t you get that? I’ve tried to apologize to him. I really have. I-I’ve been begging on my knees, and he just tries to humiliate me every f**king chance he gets. And I just keep waiting and waiting and waiting for that f**king kick in the head that will come when I least expect it! ‘Cause I know it’s coming. You know, the Royal Court won’t take this lightly. They’re probably… They’re probably sitting around, probably planning how they… How they’re gonna punish me, and I…

Felice (about Wille): We just talked. We just talked about his brother.

August: Erik was like a brother to me too, and you know that. Your focus should be on comforting me so that I can comfort him. Give me the jacket! Give it to me. (takes Wille’s jacket away from her and leaves)

Madison: Dump him.

August: I understand that you want to feel normal, go to a normal school, meet normal girls, go to normal parties. But how did that work out? The problem is that normal people will never see you as one of them. But here you’re among your own. We could murder someone, and nobody would say a word. I promise you. Who wants to be normal anyway?
