Marnie Michaels quotes from Girls

Marnie

What are you like in love with him?

Marnie

That isn't fun for me, being the uptight girl. I hate it.

Marnie

I think maybe that's a good thing for me.

Marnie

I had a bad breakup. It's okay I think we're gonna be able stay friends you know, but I'm not gonna do what Hannah does and order six pizzas to make myself feel better.

Marnie

You know who ends up living their dreams? Sad messes like Charlie.

Marnie

Fancy people want to work with me, so I’m gonna give them that pleasure and I’m gonna go work with them. So fuck you both, have a nice day, enjoy the rest of the video.

Marnie

Guys, we're so disconnected. I thought this would just be a nice opportunity for us to have fun together and prove to everyone via Instagram that we could still have fun as a group.

Marnie

If you're here to tell me what a bad person I am, I don't wanna hear it. Seriously I know and no, I have not told Shoshanna yet but I will and I fucking know I have to do it. And I know that I need to have more respect for the emotional property of other women and I know that I use sex for validation because it's what I do.

Marnie

I was just thinking, I've been sexually irresponsible enough in my life thus far that I should have gotten pregnant by now and I never have. Like, I get my period at the same time, on the same day, of every monthly cycle, my entire life, like it's never strayed from that.

Hannah

Then you're really lucky. I never know when I'm going to get my period and it's always a surprise and that's why all my underwear are covered in weird stains.

Jessa

You look... really gorgeous. I love you all stripped down.

Marnie

I've never been as miserable in my life.

Jessa

It's totally working.

[To Marnie] Has anyone ever told you you look like a young Brooke Shields?

Marnie

Actually, yeah. Thank you.

You're welcome. [to Jessa] And you... Julie Christie.

Jessa

[looking decidedly uncomfortable] Good reference.

[running his hand over her stomach] Equal in beauty -

Jessa

[sitting up abruptly] Okay, that's our cue to go. Thank you so much.

Marnie

No, wait, we don't - we don't have to go.

Jessa

I think we have outstayed our welcome.

No.

Jessa

It's, um... Th-thank you so much, you've been so -

Just follow your instincts, Brooke...

Are you fucking serious? This is... a 10,000 dollar rug! This is a very fucking expensive rug! If you're gonna spill stuff on it, you gotta look more sorry than that!

Marnie

I'm sorry.

Jessa

She's sorry.

[going into his kitchen to get something to clean up] You know what? If you were really sorry, you'd be planning to make this a very special night, for all of us. Not just you and fucking Missy Malone! All of us! No more excluding me, Mary Poppins! It's not fair! I wanna be part of the group!

Jessa

That... will never happen.

Marnie

Since when is Jessa even a drug addict?

Hannah

She’s really just a life addict.

Marnie

Where's Jessa? Did she not even show?

Hannah

No, she just insists on sitting in the back of the bus for political reasons.

What are you staring at me about?

Marnie

What do you mean?

You're staring at me.

Marnie

I'm staring at you? You're playing aggressive guitar at me.

There's nothing aggressive about that. It's a ballad.

Marnie

Okay.

I think it's weird you haven't said anything since noon.

Marnie

Well, we're in a fight, so I don't want to talk to you.

Well...

Marnie

That's kind of the definition of fighting.

That's kind of the definition of cold.

Marnie

No, I'm not cold, I'm mad.

Yeah. So you can't even let me know that you're... that you're here with me? You can't even connect?

Marnie

No, I don't... I don't want to connect. I want space. Well, I don't want space. I love you. See, Desi, that's a major part of the problem. That you don't seem to care at all about what I want.

Oh, I don't care what you want?

Marnie

Yeah, you don't care.

Would you prefer that I just pretend nothing's wrong with me? And stop feeling all of my feelings and... and hug you and fuck you and tell you how amazing you are and how much I love you?

Marnie

That sounds really positive to me.

I think that'd make you happy, too.

Marnie

Oh, Jesus.

No.

Marnie

Whoa.

You know you just recoiled from my touch?

Marnie

I didn't.

You recoiled from my touch like I'm a monster.

Marnie

Oh, my God. You know something? In all the months that we courted, I never dreamed that you could be this cruel.

Cruel?

Marnie

Yeah.

Oh, are you fucking serious? Cruel? I don't want to go get a scone with you this morning and now I'm cruel? Oh, boy. You're... you've got to be kidding me. I want to fucking die.

Marnie

No, you don't. You don't want to die.

Yes I do, I wanna fucking kill myself. You don't want to kill yourself, either. You are far too narcissistic to kill yourself.

Open your heart to me. Bella, open your heart to me now! Stop.

Marnie

It's fucking open!

Bella!

Marnie.

Marnie

Yeah?

Try these on. Try those on.

Marnie

Oh, my God, I can't try all these on.

Yes, you can. I'm just giving you options, baby, you know what I mean? I'm just giving you options. I'm just giving you more and more options. Okay. Hey. Hey, do you, ah, do you have a bathroom I can use? I'm gonna buy stuff. I just need to use the bathroom.

Oh, yeah, there's a burrito place next door. You just have to, like, buy a soda or something.

Marnie

Oh, okay.

Uh, Marnie, I'll be right back!

Okay. That dress looks really pretty on you.

Marnie

Oh, thank you so much. I feel like a Bob Mackie Barbie doll.

Oh, no, that's 100% the look. That's what people come in here wanting.

Marnie

That guy's my ex-boyfriend. I haven't seen him in literally almost two years until just now. Or like, just before right now. He left without any explanation, and now I'm married to, like, an entirely different man who's also my musical partner.

Cool.

Marnie

I know you might be wondering, like, how does someone fit that much action into such a short amount of time. Yes, I am only 25 and a half years old.

That's no, that seems right. But somehow I've managed to live so much. I feel like I'm looking out the eyes of a woman at hands that have touched and have been touched. Does that make any sense? Whoa, oh. Hey, oh, my God. You look great.

Marnie

Yeah? Are you sure? I don't know.

That's perfect, yeah. No, you look awesome. All right, let's do this. Yeah? How much is it?

Marnie

What? I need heels and stuff like that.

Doesn't matter. No, no, no, you're good. They're waiting on us!
