Quotes in Part 1

When Charlie is riding in between Sam and Patrick in Sam's pickup and are all listening to an amazing song, and Sam is tapping her hand on the steering wheel and Patrick is dangling his hand outside the car making waves, Charlie says, "I feel infinite" (33). He feels like they were five minutes truly spent because he felt young. They were driving to his first real party, he was sitting between two very nice people in a pickup when it starts to rain (33). It is one of those moments when life seems carefree and wonderful. Everything is going right and time could not be spent in a better way than with people who care about you.
Back in the pickup with Sam and Patrick, Charlie says yet again, "I swear we were infinite" (39). This is the part after homecoming when Sam is standing up in the back of the pickup in just her dress as they go through the Fort Pitt Tunnel and the tape player was playing "Landslide" which gets illuminated throughout the entire tunnel.Then after going through the tunnel, Sam screams a fun scream and they all start laughing. All three are swept into a mush of good feelings. Feelings of being infinitely grand, infinitely there, infinitely perfect.
