Quotes 

• Miranda : What's the big rush in growing up anyways?

  David 'Gordo' Gordon : I just want to know when it happens! I mean, where's my moment? I can't shave yet, I don't have a dirt bike, the tattoo was obviously not for me. I can't even catch a fish! How am I gonna know when I'm no longer a boy?

  Lizzie McGuire : I guess you'll just know.

  David 'Gordo' Gordon : It's not good enough. I mean, you guys will know when it happens. It's biological.

  Miranda : Ohh, creepy! Let's not go there.

• Lizzie McGuire : Must be something in the water. I mean, first Ethan, now Larry...

  Miranda : You're not actually gonna use Ethan and Larry in the same sentence, are you?

  David 'Gordo' Gordon : You just did.

• David 'Gordo' Gordon : Today is important, for a lot of different reasons. But mostly because today, I leave my childhood behind and become a man. Now, the truth is, I could have marked this transition a million different ways. And believe me, I've considered most of them. But I knew that whenever I did, it had to be right for me. So I searched and I questioned, and I heard lots of stories from many men. Funny thing is... the person I learned most about, was me. And I realized that figuring out who I am was made easier by realizing who I'm not. So why this Bar Mitzvah, and not a tattoo? Or fishing? Or even a dirt bike? The answer is simple: because this is what felt right to me.
