Mona: Here's what I do when I'm feeling down. I get very quiet and very still. And I say to myself, "Everyone in the world is as miserable and empty as I am. They're just better at pretending." Try it sometime. It might bring you some peace.
Nadine: I had the worst thought: I've got to spend the rest of my life with myself.
Mr. Bruner: Are you having a problem today, Nadine?
Nadine: Several. I don't really have any friends at the moment.
Young Nadine: My mom has to take medicine, or she'll get upset and buy too much at the mall.
Nadine: There are two types of people in the world: The people who naturally excel at life. And the people who hope all those people die in a big explosion.
Nadine: What the... why is that baby in your house?
Mr. Bruner: Oh shit! How the hell that thing get in here?
Nadine: Don't be awkward. Socialize.
Mr. Bruner: Life's about taking risks. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there.
Young Krista: Once, my grandpa's pajama flap accidentally came open, and I saw his wiener and got real sad.
Mr. Bruner: Wow. I actually was writing my own suicide note just now. I have 32 fleeting minutes of happiness during lunch, which has been eaten up again and again by the same especially badly dressed student, and I finally thought I would rather have the dark nothingness.
