Quotes 

• Brooke McQueen : What is your problem?

  Michael 'Sugar Daddy' Bernardino : Brooke, don't.

  Brooke McQueen : No, I want to know. Would it kill you to be nice?

  Ashley #3 : I'm not trying to get invited to your Christmas party Marcia Brady, I just don't want to talk about food!

• Harrison John : Brooke, all this is just about proving to yourself that you are a good person.

  Brooke McQueen : If that's what you think then you don't know me.

• Brooke McQueen : Sam, who in their right mind would hire a teenager to write their memoirs?

  Samantha 'Sam' McPherson : Not all of us has become cynical.

  Brooke McQueen : [shaking head]  I am not cynical.

  Samantha 'Sam' McPherson : Oh, Brooke, face it, you've earned your bile. If I lost an election and got dumped by my boyfriend all in the same week, I would be crawled up in a fetal position chewing the drapes.

  Brooke McQueen : First of all, I don't consider either of those events to be losses. What I gained is much more important.

  Samantha 'Sam' McPherson : And what would that be?

  Brooke McQueen : [gets up]  I don't... have to explain myself to you.

  [goes off] 

  Brooke McQueen : See ya.

• Brooke McQueen : [in clinic]  Hey. Harrison, uhm, look... I feel terrible for how I treated you during the elections, and... please believe me, if I had known what you were going through, I... I would never...

  Harrison John : Don't apologize, Brooke.

  Brooke McQueen : I want you to know how badly I feel.

  Harrison John : No, you want to know how badly you feel. Please, stop campaigning. Stop trying to pretend that this is about anything else than you convincing yourself that deep down you're really a good person.

  Brooke McQueen : That's not why I'm here.

  Harrison John : Sure it is. Oh, my God. Please, if you come away from this stupid election with anything, let it be one ounce of self-knowledge. You're the loneliest person I know. Behind that smile, there's this... this desperate person who doesn't think she deserves any happiness, so she goes out of her way to control every situation. Well, I've got an update for you, Brooke. You can't control what's happening to me. So, please, save the speech for yourself.

  Brooke McQueen : [backs off]  Clearly, you have no idea who I am.
