You know sometimes, word of mouth gets around because it's true.
And sometimes word of mouth gets around because there are a lot of mouths. I don't believe everything I hear. You should give it a try sometime.
Like I don't.
S2 E4Says Who?
S2 E5Breaking Up Is Hard to Do
I had no idea kissing was such a big deal.
Well, let me tell you something, sister, it is!
[to Matt] I couldn't let you spend three days on a bus with a broken heart. Let's go home.
S2 E6Girls Just Want to Have Fun
Mom...
I'm still a little angry.
I know, but why? All I was trying to do was express my unique personality, a personality which, I might add, I'm not allowed to express at home.
First of all, it didn't appear to me that you were expressing any unique personality at all, because you and your friends were expressing the exact same unique personality! So maybe you should look up what the word "unique" means, because judging from what I've seen, it's not very clear to you!
KKaren
My friends are there for me. They make me strong. They protect me.
Oh, really? The same friends who will beat you and rape you so you can get into a group where you can mule drugs and do drive bys and be available to sex on demand?
KKaren
You are so out there! My friends would never betray me.
Well, it's good you're that strong because this is going to take all the strength you have.
When's eventually?
Sometime in the future, but you're not sure when.
Is it for sure?
What?
Eventually?
We don't search our kids' rooms.
I don't search mine, either, but I can't be with them every minute. I've got to tell you, I don't always know what they're doing when I'm not around, and the possibilities and getting more and more frightening.
JJoan
[to Karen] How can you do this? How? I work. Your father works two jobs, all so we can live in a safe neighborhood, so our kids will be safe! And all the time, the drugs, the violence, and the weapons were in our house? In our house?
And you brought them in.
JJoan
We have to protect Stan. No wonder he isn't sleeping. I'll take him to my mom's. He'll be safe there.
KKaren
No, you don't have to!
I'll see if I can get a transfer. Maybe we can move.
KKaren
No! Why are you doing this?
Haven't you heard? Our daughter is in a gang! There are weapons in our son's bed! He is in serious danger! We all are!
S2 E7Do Something
Matt, if something had happened to Steve while he was with you today, what would you have done?
I'm not sure, other than I would have tried to get him back to the hospital. If it was too late for that, then I guess I would have just held him. Been with him. If something had happened, Dad, at least the kid would have had a day out. I mean, he's dying and there's nothing anyone can do but let him live a little.
SSteve
I have a question. What do you think dying is like?...You don't have to answer that if you don't want. I'll understand.
No. No, it's okay. I'll answer it. I think about it sometimes. I think it's kind of like when you're little, and you're sick, and your parents pick you up and put you in their bed. Then you wake up, and you don't know where you are, but then it just takes a second, and you remember where you are and that you're okay. I think it's like that.
S2 E8I Hate You
Annie (to Ruthie): What are our rules with drawing?
No drawing on the walls, or the tables, or furniture, or anywhere but paper.
That's right. So why break the rules if you know the rules?
I don't know. I just got bored, I guess.
Ruthie (to Annie): I didn't paste or cut anything, it's not fair!
I think it's plenty fair.
I hate you!
Mary (to Joanne): We're really sorry if we hurt your feelings.
JJoanne
If? If you hurt my feelings? You think I have fake teeth, a boob job, and that I can't microwave my own food. That's right, I have perfect hearing too. I heard every word you said.
Lucy (to Joanne): We're really sorry.
JJoanne
You should be! If you had bothered to get to know me, I'm a pretty nice person. And I try to treat others the way I want to be treated.
And yet, if you made the same mistake we did, you'd want them to forgive you, right?
JJoanne
I wouldn't make the same mistake you did.
You know, Ruthie, when someone does something wrong, they need to take responsibility for it. And sometimes when they're angry, they say things that aren't nice and aren't true. I was hoping that after a while you would have time to think about what you said, and you would apologize. Do you remember when you said you hated me? I know you don't like to be punished, but saying you hate me really hurt my feelings.
