You'll never guess who I ran into today.
Paris Hilton.
Who? No.

What are you guys talking about?
Cheese! Uh--cake. Cheesecake.
First of all, her--whosiwhatsit was under her bed.
CMrs. Clark
Is this a joke to you!?
I told you from the start that you should talk to her if she brought it up and instead you said 'cheesecake'!
It was a reflex!
My school work doesn't inspire me.
Yeah, but if you give it up, I'll kill ya.
I just thought I could have it all.
Well, you can't.
You wanna think about that some more before you crush my spirit completely?
Nina, if you have all these different clothes, how come you look the same every day?
Don't make me cry Delia. I just put on mascara.
You're scarring me for life!
Welcome to the club!
Can I bug you?
Mission accomplished.
[to Jake] By the way, next time you're at the dentist, ease off on the bleaching. Hurts my eyes.
[to Andy] I'm not scared of what happens if I fail and don't get into Juilliard. I'm scared of what happens if I do. If I go to Juilliard, then... that's it. One thing. Piano. I'll be just like you were before she died. It took Mom dying to wake you up. I don't wanna have to lose something to keep myself from turning into you.
[to Amy and parents] They're all great schools if you want to be in Boston or New York. There's also a lot of good piano schools in that area.

Good to hear it, by the way?
What is?
DHDoctor Harold
Your playing, it is as good as they say. That was an arrangement from Bash motet, wasn't it?
Well it is an attempt, at least. My teacher got me taken down the cording structure. He's evil. I didn't know you knew music, do you play?
DHDoctor Harold
I want it too but as with surgeon, I was born with the ear but not the hands. God has a strange sense of humor. I am his favorite channel.
I am working all night on the avocado. Usually it just comes to me but when I get stuck, it can take a while.
DHDoctor Harold
You are so much like your father. You just described what it is to be gifted and you don’t even know it. The part that you call effortless that would be the life ambition of the less blessed and the part that is a bit more work that is an act that they won’t even be able to follow.
Well the experts seem to disagree; I have paperwork from very expensive schools to prove it.
DHDoctor Harold
Yeah, that’s the technique. But the part that can’t actually be taught, grated or improved. What you have been given is more like the rain, it simply happens nothing can alter its timing or course, you just have to dress for the occasion.
Ephram: [Application to Princeton] Tell about yourself in such a way that we will have a good sense of who you are. 500 words. I wish you would have ask me that two years ago, I could have told you exactly who I was, who I would be. Two years ago, I knew it all. The thing is I was right. Thing is, you can never tell when everything you count on may fall apart, no matter how solid the rock. Rocks break, everything changes even when you think you are sure, especially when you are sure. To be fair if I was one of the fates looking down at the best laid plans of dumb little people, I probably see and want to mess with them too. Wanna know about me in 500 words; I get scared sometimes and disappointed, I have doubts, and my life gets in my way, I don’t like change but I know it’s good for me and inevitable so I welcome it the best I can. There is a poem by Johan Frank that says it better than I will “Defy the old dragon, defy fear, the world may rage and quake but I shall remain singing and in perfect peace.” Yeah things happen, things you don’t expect or want or like. The world rages and you become someone, you didn’t know you would ever be … and now you are in your clothes and in your life, this is my future, this is me. This is me, and I want things I never thought I would, I want the possibilities a school like Princeton can offer. A place to grow, meet new people, a place of surprise when life turns out to be nothing like I imagined. And to be grateful for it, in perfect peace.
I'm upset because this whole thing is embarrassing.
Farting in a public restroom is embarrassing.
