Muffy:
" I'm not worried about those two, Skip and Arch, they're probably just playing some kind of stupid trick."
Rob:
"State Hospital. 'Pursuant to our previous communications, please be advised that the patient under discussion has still not been found and returned to custody, and is now believed to be attempting to return to her home in your jurisdiction. If encountered exercise extreme caution and notify us immediately as Miss St. John has been a patient here for three years and is still considered incorrigibly unstable and extremely dangerous."
Nan:
"When she said well she really meant *well*, who dug this thing, Pocahontas?"
Muffy:
"We used to spend all our summers here before my mother died, this is a very special place to me."
Rob:
"He said to forget it. He said that my grades might be okay but basically I possess an essential lack of seriousness, and that's what they look for."
Arch:
"Him too? That's what my guy said. I said "You gotta be kidding. I mean how can anyone be serious about anything when some moron can steal a bomb or push a button and nuke us all until our shadows glow?" He wasn't impressed with that, but..."
Skip:
" A poor boy can say 'Fuck you, Dad, I'm my own person'. What's his father gonna do? Kick him out of the house, disinherit him? His life won't change much. He's got nothing to lose."
Nikki:
"His father's love."
Skip:
"That was lost a long time ago."
Nikki:
"Skip, blaming yourself won't make Buck any better."
Arch:
"This is incredible. Here we are: privileged, independent, the hope for the future right here at this table, and not one of us knows what we're gonna do with the rest of our lives."
Kit:
"We're all friends here, right?"
Nikki:
"Sort of."
Kit:
"And don't anyone say "April Fool's" again or I'll rip them apart!"
Skip, Arch:
"Cough-cough-April Fool's!-cough-cough"
Nikki:
"My name is Mary O'Reilly O'Toole O'Shea. Somewhere out there is the island my friend Muffy owns. It's spring break and she's invited us over there for the weekend and we're waiting for the ferry now to take us there, and... I don't know what else to say."
Chaz:
"(voice) Why don't you tell us something about yourself?"
Nikki:
"Why don't you tell us something about yourself?"
Nikki:
"On a clear day, you can see the Kennedys."
Kit:
"Muffy hasn't been in an institution for three years, she's been at Vassar!"
Kit:
"Oh, ha ha. HA HA HA HA! That's really funny, you guys. Really funny! Fuck you!"
Chaz:
"Respectable young Quaker couple returning from a quiet afternoon of nonviolent sex."
