Fine lines
Like the difference between an 0.5 & 0.7 mm lead in a pacer, or difference between a biro and a felt tip pen. There always is a split difference between two things that make eachother unique. It’s like it’s own “DNA” method of classification… I’m a huge believer in the fact that you should do something because you ‘want’ to, not because you...
Songs with that OOMPH
You know how some singers can immediately capture your attention with just a single AMAZING song that literally has that OOMPH factor to it, i.e. Don’t Rain On My Parade, Defying Gravity & And I’m Telling You. It’s just like… “WOAH!!!” you imagine the lung capacity they have to have to pull it off because there is just no way the average class singer can...
Big Fat Lawsuit - Daria
Ms. Li: Did you really think you were going to get away with it?
Jane: Well, it would be stupid to say yes now.
Ms. Li: This is no joke! Vandalizing school property is a punishable offense! And the first thing we're going to do is call your parents! (picks up phone and dials numbers)
(no one answers)
Ms. Li: Oh bother. (picks up phone and dials numbers)
Helen: Whose butt do I have to kiss around here to get my interoffice mail before nightfall?
Assistant: Helen? It's your daughter's school. The principal.
Helen: The principal? (picks up phone) Hello?
Ms. Li: Hello Mrs. Morgendorffer. This is Angela Li, principal of Lawndale High.
Helen: Yes, Ms. Li. How may I help you?
Ms. Li: Mrs. Morgendorffer I'm afraid I have some rather bad news. Your daughter Daria appears to have been involved in an act of vandalism.
Helen: What?
Ms. Li: Mrs. Morgendoffer, your daughter collaborated with Jane Lane in the creation of a poster for our art contest.
Helen: Yes, I'm aware of that.
Ms. Li: We found part of the poster unacceptable. So it was altered prior to it's entry. Unfortunately, someone defaced the poster while it was on display and since your daughter and Ms. Lane were objecting to changing it, I must assume that they were the vandals. I'm going to have to take drastic action.
Helen: Wait a moment. You're saying the girls were against changing the poster but entered it into the contest anyway?
Ms. Li: It was entered for them.
Helen: I was under the impression that participation in this contest was voluntary.
Ms. Li: Yes, but your daughter refused to volunteer so in her case I made it mandatory.
Helen: All right Ms. Li, let me make sure I have this straight. You took my daughter's poster from her, altered its content, exhibited it against her will and are now threatening discipline because you claim she defaced her own property which you admit to stealing?
Ms. Li: That's now what I said at all!
Helen: Ms. Li, are you familiar with the phrase, violation of civil liberties? And the phrase, big fat lawsuit?
Gifted - Daria
Jodie: Hey! Just because some jock made you feel like the loser you are, don't take it out on me.
Gram: I'm not a loser! I have an 165 IQ!
Jodie: Who cares? You're still boring and miserable! Try taking your head out of your butt for once and opening up your mioptic little eyes. Or doesn't your 165 IQ make you smart enough to see the way you really are.
Gram: I'll make sure you never set foot in this school again!
Daria: That's a relief. For a minute there I thought you were really going to threaten us.
Arts’n’Crass - Daria
Daria: Is it cold in here?
Jane: Come on out daria, the cartoon body is nothing to be ashamed of
Daria: If I come out, it’s just gonna feed those rumours about us
Jane: Hmm… wouldn’t want to do that. Okay then, I’ll just do this nude painting of you from memory
Daria: What’s with this stupid setup anyway?
Jane: We’re introducing our season two opener. Arts’n’Crass, the one about the painting
Daria: Was it a nude painting?
Jane: No
Daria: Was it a painting of me?
Jane: No
Daria: Then what the hell am I doing standing here getting frostbite
Jane: Well ratings have been down a bit and we had a meeting and we thought you know. spice up the show a little
The Misery Chick - Daria
[Daria knocks on door]
Jane: Yo, come on in.
[Daria comes in]
Jane: Oh… Hi…
Daria: Are you avoiding me?
Jane: Uh…. Not anymore?
Daria: What’s going on?
Jane: Nothing, I just haven’t felt like talking to anybody
Daria: I’m not anybody and I’d like to talk to someone
Jane: But you’ve been talking to everyone…
Daria: … No. Everyone’s been talking to me. There’s a difference
Jane: Well , what do you want to talk for anyway? You don’t care what happened.
Daria: How can you say that?
Jane: You’ve been treating it like. Oh well, another stupid day. The guy died.
Daria: I know he died. I’m sorry he died, but I’m not going to pretend he was some great person when he wasn’t. People aren’t upset because Tommy Sherman died, they’re upset because they’re gonna die.
Jane: That’s understandable.
Daria: Okay. But you know what I’ve been hearing? “You know how I feel Daria, you’re gloomy”. “I knew I could talk to you Daria, you’re always miserable”. Tragedy hits the school and everyone thinks of me. The popular guy died and now I’m popular because I’m the misery chick. But I’m not MISERABLE. I’m just not like them.
Jane: It really makes you think.
Daria: Funny, thanks a lot.
Jane: No, that’s why they want to talk to you when they say you’re always unhappy Daria. What they mean is “You think Daria”. I can tell because you don’t smile. Now this guy died and it’s making ME think. And that hurts my little head and makes ME stop smiling. So, tell me how you cope with thinking all the time Daria, until I can get back to my normal vegetable state.
Daria: Okay. So then why have you been avoiding me?
Jane: Because I’ve been trying not to think. About the way we were making jokes about him dying and then boom it happened.
Daria: We didn’t have anything to do with the guy dying. It was a freak accident.
Jane: Yeah… Well I don’t it when I say people should die and then they do. I don’t want that kind of responsibility. At least not until I got a job in “Middle Management”.
Daria: You didn’t make him die.
Jane: Your not the misery chick.
Daria: Alright then.
Jane: Alright then.
Daria: He shouldn’t have died.
Jane: No.
Daria: But he wasn’t a nice guy.
Jane: No.
Daria: Did Trent know you were up here?
Jane: Told him to tell anyone who showed up that I was out running. What a surprise, he forgot.
Daria: No, he didn’t.

"10 Things I Hate About You" - Episode 3
Kat: And that’s 10 points for “THEATRE” please note that I used the correct British spelling and not the bastardised American version, why must we always ruin everything?
[Dad not concentrating]
Kat: I think I’ll get my nipples pierced in protest
Dad: *laughs*
Kat: Or maybe a sexy back tattoo
[Dad still not concentrating]
Kat: Dad I’m dropping out of school to become an adult film star
Dad: That’s nice honey
[Dad’s watch beeps]
Dad: She’s late for curfew
Kat: Release the hounds
Dad: You think that’s funny? Hounds are on my to-do-list
Kat: Dad. Relax, she’s at a soccer game. The odds of her being kidnapped and sold into slavery are very slim.
Dad: Thanks for bringing that up. I was just worried she was in a car accident
Kat: Sorry
Dad: She’s my little flower
Kat: If she’s your little flower what am I?
Dad: You’re my big tough cactus
Kat: Green, spiny and phallic. That’s great dad!
Dad: What I mean is someone messes with you. You stab them. Plus cactuses are never out late on a school night trying to pollinate.
Kat: Our correct name is cacti
[Bianca walks in]
Dad: Thank god you’re home safe so I can kill you
Bianca: Daddy, before you say anything. I would’ve been on time tonight, but I had to save a life tonight .
Dad: What happened?
Bianca: After the game we decided to grab something to eat. And this guy started choking and I had to shove my eyelash curler down his throat in order to save his life.
Kat: Way to go McGruber…
Bianca: Daddy, maybe one day I’ll become a doctor so I can save lives like you everyday
Dad: Ohhh… isn’t that sweet, now blow into this (breathalyser)
[blows]
Bianca: See! All clear.
Dad: Well late is late, we’ll see how long you’re grounded when your test results get back. Kat go with your sister I need you to make sure…
Kat: … It’s her urine, I know the drill
[Kat places mascot head on Bianca’s head]
Bianca: This family is soo twisted!
