Sarah Reeves quotes from Party of Five

Sarah

What can they do? I mean they say they don't believe me, I say, hey, let's break a windshield over your head and see how much you remember.

Sarah

Apparently there is a nice, clean, safe stud on the third floor.

Sarah

We should take all of the energy that we used to devote to constructive things, like school work, and instead apply it to an elaborate plan to drive her out of her mind and apartment 14.

Sarah

We are going to look back on this as one of those most important times in our lives. You know like like our Season of Self-Reliance.

Sarah

Julia, a job is like waiting tables or cleaning toilets. It's not supposed to be fun. That's why they call it work.

Sarah

I'm the honest virgin and you're the lying, stinking, creepo virgin.

Sarah

[to Bailey] It's no big deal. I mean it's what it was always, pretty much. I love you. That's all.

Sarah

[after being attacked] I look out the window, whether there's locks on them or not... and I don't see the same world anymore.

Sarah

[to Bailey] If you think buying a gun is gonna make you an adult or responsible, then I don't know what happened to you or who you've become.

Sarah

Andrew's your choice. You love him and he's gonna be family, because you chose him. You know, kind of the way that you chose me when you decided to adopt me. But it's not blood or genes or DNA, and it's also not about a license or a ceremony either. It's a choice. And I don't know, I guess, you know, maybe I've made my choice too. And the Salingers have been my choice for a very long time now.

Sarah

You know what, Charlie? I really really hate it when you say 'us' like it doesn't include me. Look, I am not his babysitter just because he and I aren't married or something, and you of all people should know that.

Sarah

Is that who I am? Sort of a mother, but not really. Maybe a wife, but not quite. I mean, is that me? 'Cause I don't know. Y'know, maybe I'm running away from that, maybe I'm afraid to feel happy in that role because I'm nineteen and I feel like I should want more for myself. Bailey, maybe I can't write this essay because I know exactly who I am, and I'm just afraid to say it out loud.

Sarah

[to Bailey] I love you, so much. I really do. But I'm 19, and in college, and for me that means trying stuff out, like making mistakes. But mistakes where I can take an incomplete if things aren't working out, not mistakes where other people's lives are riding on what I choose.

Sarah

God, there are all these wild, surreal things going on, and all these new people. And I would have called sooner, but it's been sort of insane, you know? But... But not in a bad way. In kind of a good way, really. I mean, you'd probably hate it, but... Anyway, I'm sorry that I keep missing you, I'll call later, okay? I love you.

Sarah

I'm sorry that I keep missing you. I'll call later, okay? I love you.

Sarah

... missing you, I'll call later, okay? I love you.

Bailey

I'm starting to think I should have expected things to turn out this way.

Sarah

What's that supposed to mean?

Bailey

It turns out all the Salinger men make the same mistake.

Sarah

What mistake?

Bailey

They walk away from the one thing that's actually the best thing that ever happened to them.
