13. Cecilia's age was mentioned twice in the movie. The first time was when she was in the hospital after her attempted suicide. When the doctor asked her why she was there, her reply was, 'obviously doctor, you've never been a thirteen year old girl.' The second time was when the narrator was introducing the girls as they got out of the Lisbon family car.
A 1920's wedding dress. The book went more into depth about this clothing item. Cecilia had some attachment to this dress and never seemed to take it off until she died. After her death, her mom threw away the dress and Cecilia was buried in a stiff beige dress.

The second time Tim Weiner saw Cecilia sitting on his bed right before he fully woke up. And the last time she was seen sitting on a tree by Chase Buell on his way to school.
During the girls' party. Cecilia kept to herself during the party. She asked her mother to be excused only minutes before the party-goers heard her land on the fence.
She was a bride in Calcutta. This was the last time Cecilia made an appearance in the movie. The narrator explained that on their dream trip, 'Cecilia didn't die; she was a bride in Calcutta'.
Bracelets taped to her bandages. The book explained that none of the other girls were wearing bracelets, which meant that they probably gave Cecilia all of their bracelets. In the movie she wore about a dozen bracelets on each wrist, implying she was wearing all of the bracelets she and her sisters had.

The garbage man. Lux lost it over Kevin Haynes, the garbage man. She'd wake up at 5 in the morning and lay about on the front porch like it wasn't completely obvious! She wrote his name in marker in all her bras and underwear and mom found them and bleached out all the Kevins. Lux has been crying on her bed all day.
She gassed herself in the family car. Lux distracted the boys when they came over to let her sisters die in peace. Lux died after the boys ran away and we later see her arm coming out of the car as the medics come and get her body.
