Quotes:
"I was 12 going on 13 the first time I saw a dead human being. It happened in the summer of 1959 - a long time ago, but only if you measure in terms of years. I was living in a small town in Oregon called Castle Rock; there were only twelve hundred and eighty-one people, but to me it was the whole world." The writer/narrator
"If I could only have one food to eat for the rest of my life? - That's easy. Pez. Cherry flavor Pez. No question about it." Vern Tessio played by Jerry O'Connell
