Rickie: Uh, Delia? Maybe we should, uh, go somewhere sometime?
Delia: Okay.
Rickie: You know, like, uh, to a movie or something.
Delia: I'd like that.
Rickie: 'Cause, um, I, I really think that we'd be good together.
Delia: Okay, but um, you're gay, right?
Rickie: Well, I, you know, I, I-
Delia: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't-
Rickie: No, it, it, it's okay.
Delia: That came out so rude.
Rickie: No, uh, see I, I try not to, um, no, I, I don't like, uh... Yeah, I'm gay. I just don't usually say it like that.
Delia: And how do you usually say it?
Rickie: I don't usually say it. I mean, I've actually never said it... out loud.
Delia: I'm honored.
Rickie: Uh, Delia, if I were attracted to girls, I'd be attracted to you.

Sharon: [voiceover] I resolve to never again have sex with Kyle, or anyone, again, unless I really love and respect them.
Kyle: [voiceover]... to spend more time with the dog, and Sharon.
Katimski: [voiceover] ... um, give up coffee, there, that's an easy one.
Brian: [voiceover] I resolve to stop obsessing over Angela Chase.
Danielle: [voiceover] ... to badger Mom into letting me wear make-up.
Rickie: [voiceover] ... to find some place where I like really, belong.
Rayanne: [voiceover] ... to stop drinking, but this time, like, really stop.
Patty: [voiceover] I resolve to be less judgmental, less critical, to lighten up! And above all, to be more supportive, and less suspicious. [about Graham] No matter how much it seems like he's hiding something.
Graham: [voiceover] ... to tell Hallie Lowenthal once and for all that I'm not going into restaurant business with her... And to stop all those long talks with her after class.

Sharon: Krakow, this is when people need the helpline, okay? People get so stressed over this holiday stuff, they experience actual symptoms of depression, or whatever. Like, total helplessness and despair. And, like, loss of appetite, or whatever.

Sharon: What.
Rayanne: So have you and Kyle gone all the way yet?
Sharon: That is. Completely. None of your business.
Rayanne: Duh. We aren't friends, due to the fact that neither of us can stand each other. And that's why I asked. Ask me me anything. Go ahead -- it's like, relaxing.
Sharon: You're so weird.
Rayanne: Duh squared.
Sharon: Okay. Look. I made a solemn promise to myself. That I would not go all the way until I was ready. And I'm, like. Sticking to that.
Rayanne: Well, it sure looks like you are reaching ecstasy when you and Kyle make out in the hall.
Sharon: Well, yeah! Well, I mean...well, you know how it is.
Rayanne: Well, yeah, in a way. I mean it's fun and all, but I don't always feel anything. Sometimes I feel numb, or something.
Sharon: Maybe you just...haven't found the right person.
Rayanne: I've tried every type of person. [Sharon stares at her] You don't have to look all worried or anything.

Sharon: Why can't you even be nice to me?!
Angela: [shouting] Why do you need me to be nice to you, since everyone else in the world is?!
Sharon: It's not like that...You are the one person I needed it most from.

Sharon: Why do girls have to tear each other down?
Angela: I guess 'cause they're jealous. I mean, I was. Of you. For having what you have.
Sharon: Do you know how many times this week I wished I had what you had?
Angela: But I don't have anything!
Sharon: Exactly.
Angela: Well, this really makes sense.
Sharon: I guess it just all boils down to what they used to drill into us at Girl Scouts.
Angela: What, sell more cookies?
Sharon: No! No, you know -- um...'What you are is' -- no, wait: 'What your gift is --'
Angela: Oh! No: 'What you have is God's gift to you, and what you do with what you have is your gift to God.'

Student: So why are you here? You the new substitute?
Mr. Racine: Why am I here? Yeah, good question. I'm the new substitute, yes. I'm here quite simply to get paid. Assuming all of you can read and write, I don't perceive any emergency situation. That's all. Continue wasting your lives. [he pulls a folded newspaper out of his knapsack]
Sharon: So, um...are we like, dismissed?
Mr. Racine: Do you want to be dismissed?
Sharon: No, you just said that...you just said that was all you had to say, so...
Mr. Racine: I will be here for the next forty-seven minutes. Whether you will also be here for that time is, to be candid, your decision.
Jordan: What's the catch?
Mr. Racine: No catch. If you don't want to be here, go. I'm not gonna stop you. [Jordan immediately climbs out of his desk and heads for the door] Well, you know, there is just, you know, one catch. We will be discussing you in your absence, but you know, if you don't mind that...
Jordan: Yeah, right.
Mr. Racine: Oh, it's no joke. I have no lesson planned. Trashing you in your absence will help, uh, pass the time. Right? It could, uh, possibly be educational as well.
Angela: So what are we supposed to do?
[Jordan returns to his seat]
Mr. Racine: Ah, I've known you all of five minutes and you want me to tell you what you're supposed to do? Fine. Follow your hearts and veer away from heroin.
Angela: [laughs] No, I meant in the next forty-seven minutes.
Mr. Racine: I know what you meant, that was sarcasm.

[Kyle and Warren are listening through the door]
Kyle: Brian Krakow has Rayanne Graff chained to a bed
Rayanne: [talking about key for handcuffs] Brian, you idiot, that's not gonna fit. It's too big!
[Guys outside snicker]
