Quotes 

• Hal Branston : Wasn't it you who said that true love is all about finding someone you can stand to be around for 10 minutes at a time?

  Lane Leonard : Yeah.

  Hal Branston : You got 10 minutes?

  [Hal and Lane kiss] 

• Lane Leonard : Love isn't about fate and magic bracelets and destiny. It's about finding someone you can stand to be around for 10 minutes at a time.

  Hal Branston : You're a real romantic, you know that.

• Hal Branston : Come on, Lane! This snow day happened for a reason. It's given me a second chance with Claire.

  Lane Leonard : Hal, what do you think she's gonna do? Hold you to your chest and lick your ear and call you funky?

• Hal Branston : Rain, sleet, or... what was the other one Mr. Aberman?

  Mailman Herbert : Everybody makes fun of the mailman...

• Hal Branston : Schools close, roads disappear, grown men weep...

• Natalie Brandston : I really don't like him...

  Hal Branston : He's not a fun guy...

  Hal Branston : This is where it begins. Two atoms of hydrogen bond with a single atom of oxygen to form H20, otherwise known as water. Then, if all goes well, the temperature drops below freezing, the water crystallizes and a pretty brilliant thing happens. lf you ask me, the miracle isn't how each snowflake is perfectly formed. The real winter miracle is what can happen afterwards. lt's called - a ''snow day''

• Hal Branston : Her name was Claire Bonner. Was l obsessed? Let's say l know the exact number of times she blinks per minute.

• Hal Branston : Hey guys, l'm going out.

  [exits] 

  Natalie Brandston : Good.

  Tom Brandston : Why - good?

  Natalie Brandston : He's been acting all weird lately.

  Tom Brandston : Well, he has a lot on his mind. You know, girls. Pretty much, mostly girls.

  Natalie Brandston : Is that why he's wearing a girl's ankle bracelet?

  Tom Brandston : Could be. Could be. You know boys Hal's age like to experiment. Did you say ankle bracelet?

• Lane Leonard : Hal, you're starting to scare me. lf you wanna go out with someone, why don't you go with Patty Crone? For some reason she thinks you're cute.

  Hal Branston : l can't go out with a leg jiggler.

• Hal Branston : Ah, snow day.

  Natalie Brandston : Snow day! Snow day, snow day, snow day. Snow day! Anything can happen, Hal.

• Lane Leonard : Hey, I wonder if in Hawaii instead of snow days they have lava days?

  Hal Branston : Yeah, I heard in Los Angeles they get off on bad hair days.

• Hal Branston : My name's Hal. You don't know me, but l know you. Like I know that your favorite gum is "Watermelon Bubblicious", that you can't go a whole day without diving, and that you have the most amazing brown eyes I've ever seen. l also know that yesterday ''America's Dream Team'' broke up. Personally, l think it was the right move. So, today, if you're wondering what to do next, try something new. Me. lt's a snow day, Claire. Anything can happen.

• Hal Branston : So, how was l?

  Lane Leonard : Remember in sixth grade when you wore those rainbow suspenders all year because you thought they were so cool? lt was kinda like that.

  Hal Branston : l know what l'm doing, okay?

• Hal Branston : Just be careful, you two. There's a lot of bad out there.

• Hal Branston : To adults, he's just a creepy guy with a plow named ''Darling Clementine'', but to us he's a snow day assassin. A man in serious need of a good flossing. Legend has it his tire chains are made from the braces of kids who didn't get out of his way.
