Very quotable

This is possibly the best quote from “The Wonder Years.” It’s from the end of the first episode. Winnie and Kevin are sitting on rocks and talking and they have their first kiss. It’s adorable. And they just hug as the narrator (the older, never seen version of Kevin, the voice is actually the tall, skinny crook in “Home Alone” (what’s his name?) says this –

Narrator : It was the first kiss for both of us. We never really talked about it afterward. But I think about the events of that day again and again, and somehow I know that Winnie does too, whenever some blowhard starts talking about the anonymity of the suburbs or the mindlessness of the TV generation, because we know that inside each one of those identical boxes, with its Dodge parked out front and its white bread on the table and its TV set glowing blue in the falling dusk, there were people with stories, there were families bound together in the pain and the struggle of love, there where moments that made us cry with laughter, and there were moments, like that one, of sorrow and wonder.

And they continue to hug as the screen fades to black…
