Daria · Season 1, Episode 15

Mrs. Manson, Quinn and others in “Unfinished Business”

[in Mrs. Manson's office]

MMrs. Manson

Now, Quinn... what do you see here? [holds up a photo]

It's a picture of two people talking.

MMrs. Manson

That's right. Can you make up a little story about what it is they're discussing?

I'm not even supposed to be taking this test. I'm exempt.

MMrs. Manson

You won't be graded.

Oh. Okay, then. Let's see... they've been going out for awhile, and he's upset because other people keep asking her out, and she saying she can't help it if she's attractive and popular, and besides, nobody ever said they were going steady, and if he does want to go steady he's got to do a lot better than movie, burger, back seat, movie, burger, back seat, because there are plenty of guys with bigger back seats waiting to take her someplace nice!

MMrs. Manson

Very good, Quinn! Now, Dora, let's see if you can make up a story as vivid as your sister's.

It's Daria.

MMrs. Manson

I'm sorry... Daria. What do you see in the picture, Dora?

Um... a herd of beautiful wild ponies running free across the plains.

MMrs. Manson

Uh, there aren't any ponies. It's two people.

Last time I took one of these tests they told me they were clouds. They said they could be whatever I wanted.

MMrs. Manson

That's a different test, dear. In this test, they're people and you tell me what they're discussing.

Oh... I see. All right, then. It's a guy and a girl and they're discussing... a herd of beautiful wild ponies running free across the plains.
