Julia Salinger quotes from Party of Five

Julia

[to Charlie] I dare you to ever give me another lecture about personal responsibility, EVER!

Julia

[to Walter] The only thing I can do for you is tell you that we're going to be OK. My siblings and I. We're going to be OK.

Julia

I did not take $10 from your wallet.

Julia

[to Social worker] I know how to do this. I had a really good mother.

Julia

[to Charlie, about Daphne] That's who you're going to for career advice? Someone whose main source of income is taking their clothes off?

Julia

Oh God. I'm such a waste of oxygen and nutrients and tuition.

Julia

No, Ned, it's okay, it's my fault. I should never have lied to you and I should never have gone to that party and I should never have danced with Justin and I'm sorry.

Julia

I thought it was him and me against everything else, everything that ever hurt me. My last year at home, my breakup with Griffin, even my mom and dad. I thought if I chose him and I pushed away everyone else and I lost myself in us that I'd be safe from all the bad stuff. And that I'd be making this really great and safe thing with him. But all I really did was lose myself.

Julia

Thank you, Griffin. Just.. thank you. I've been wanting to say that for such a long time.

Julia

[about Ned] Even when I was alone, or with someone else, he was always there, y'know. Just always there, like the air or something. And now that I know that he's really gone, it's like... it sounds so dumb... it's actually harder to breathe.

Julia

[to Perry] What I wanna know is why I'm like this walking target for drooling jerks. I mean, he could have grabbed you. And he didn't, and you know why? 'Cause you, like, exude 'Don't mess with me.'

Julia

Each guy I've been with has sort of been the answer to the one who came before. It wasn't me choosing so much as ricocheting.

Julia

[to Perry] I love the way I feel when I'm with you, y'know. I love talking to you, and writing with you... even arguing with you has had its moments.

Julia

Do you ever think about them Bailey?

Bailey

Yeah, of course I do.

Julia

Well why don't we ever talk about them. I mean why don't we ever talk about it?

Bailey

I don't know maybe we feel like we have to put on this brave face for Claud and Owen. But maybe that's stupid. Maybe we should talk about it. Maybe it would help.

Julia

Sometimes I wonder if these feelings are ever gonna go away.

Bailey

I don't know, I hope someday they will.

Charlie

Julia get down here now, family meeting. Me and Doug and a friend of his were gonna by into this co-op. We were gonna fix it up and sell it. The whole thing was gonna take a month tops. We would have doubled our money no questions asked. Except the guy took the money and split.

Bailey

How much money did you lose, Charlie?

Charlie

12 [long pause] thousand.

Julia

Of your own money right?

Bailey

So much for your lectures on responsibility. Is this why you wanted control of all the accounts so you could blow it all yourself?
