Quotes 

• Sylvie Cooper : There's something about her. I don't know. Those lips. You know lips are suppose to be the perfect reflection of a woman's anatomy. Not that I'm a lesbian... Well. Maybe I am. No, definitely not. I told my mother I was just for shock value. She said "fine. As long as you don't smoke".

• Sylvie Cooper : I like the ivy.

  Ivy : Well the cross makes me think of death, but the ivy is life. Sort of the tragic and hopeful you know.

• [last lines] 

  Sylvie Cooper : [voice over narration]  I still think about her. I guess, still love her. She might have been even more alone than I was. I miss her.

• Sylvie Cooper : The fact that Fred hated ever human except me really meant something.

• Sylvie Cooper : I'm a geek.

  Ivy : You're beautiful.

• Sylvie Cooper : Her acceptance didn't make me think less of her. It made me think more of me.

• Georgie Cooper : Leave it open.

  Sylvie Cooper : It's supposed to rain tonight.

  Georgie Cooper : Then open it wider. What kinda girls are impressed by suicide?

  Sylvie Cooper : I like her.

  Georgie Cooper : She has a hole in her nose.

  Sylvie Cooper : Yeah well a lot of girls do.

  Georgie Cooper : I think you'd be embarrassed.

  Sylvie Cooper : What?

  Georgie Cooper : Getting caught lying all the time. Did you tell her you're black too?

  Sylvie Cooper : You don't want me to have any friends, do you?

  Georgie Cooper : People you have to lie to so they like you aren't worth your friendship.

• Ivy : It's nice and cool in here. I missed my ride. Can you take me to Olympic and Fairfax?

  Darryl Cooper : No.

  Sylvie Cooper : Just a sec

  [to her Father] 

  Sylvie Cooper : Dad, she's my best friend.

• Sylvie Cooper : I'm a geek.

• Sylvie Cooper : So what are you busted for?

  Ivy : I gotta keep a certain grade point average. I'm slipping in biology.

• Sylvie Cooper : My name's Sylvie Cooper.

  Ivy : So Cooper, what they nail you for?

• Ivy : Everybody hates me.

  Sylvie Cooper : Oh well everybody hates me too.

• Georgie Cooper : Who slashed their wrists?

  Sylvie Cooper : Oh, Ivy, this is my Mom, Georgie.

• Sylvie Cooper : You're still my best friend.

  Ivy : 'Till death.

• Sylvie Cooper : What the hell are you doing in my Mom's car?

  Ivy : I found the key.

• Ivy : No, Fred, come here.

  Sylvie Cooper : No, Fred, come here.

• Sylvie Cooper : You killed her.

  Ivy : She wanted to die.

• Sylvie Cooper : She was definitely a turnoff, too overt. Look at her. Obviously, big problems. Most girls don't fly through the air with their skirt around their waist. Supergirl at least had the decency to wear tights.

• Sylvie Cooper : Lips are supposed to be a perfect reflection of another part of a woman's anatomy.

• Sylvie Cooper : She said, Fine, just as long as you don't smoke. Which, of course, is my main joy in life. Probably oral compensation.

• Sylvie Cooper : TMJ. It's stress-related. It gives you terrible headaches, makes your jaw stiff.

  Darryl Cooper : Almost killed Burt Reynolds.

• Sylvie Cooper : A lot of people think death is contagious.

• Sylvie Cooper : I always seem to be looking at life from the wrong side of the window.

• Sylvie Cooper : I know it's stupid to be jealous about a dog.It's probably because I have low self-esteem.

• Sylvie Cooper : I guess you give up things when you take on a friendship.

• Sylvie Cooper : Maybe if I hadn't been so selfish. Maybe if I could have told her I loved her maybe things would be different now.

• Sylvie Cooper : Please, stop.

  Ivy : I want to hear you say it! Are you excusing me of something?

  Sylvie Cooper : Why? Did you do something?
