Quotes 

• Jane : Am I missing something?

  Ms. Morris : The team needs you, and you need the team... IF you don't want to be here taking math again this summer.

  Jane : Gee, that almost sounds like blackmail. Fortunately, I can pull up my math grade on my own.

  Ms. Morris : Then I'll flunk you.

  Jane : Why don't I go to Ms. Li and expose this grade-changing arrangement?

  Ms. Morris : She already knows.

  Jane : Okay, then, back off or I'll tell the P.T.A.

  Ms. Morris : They know, too.

  Jane : Congress?

  Ms. Morris : You're beaten, Lane.

  Jane : How about if I call the three local TV stations and tell each one that the other two are running the story?

  Ms. Morris : Damn.

• Daria : Funny how all the drills for "Focus on Agility" month are the same ones you'd do if you were trying to sneak a cheerleader practice into regular gym class.

  Jane : Yes, and I don't intend to stand for it. They can have my squat-thrusts when they pry them from my cold, dead hands.

  Daria : What?

  Jane : I don't know.

• Daria : [Quinn is knocking on the door]  Someone's knocking. Come in.

  Quinn Morgendorffer : Hi, Daria, how's it going?

  Daria : Okay. Out with it.

  Quinn Morgendorffer : I was thinking that you and I could... you know, do something together.

  Daria : All right, who are you, and where are you hiding Quinn?

  Quinn Morgendorffer : What? Can't a sister spend time with her...

  Daria : Cousin?

  Quinn Morgendorffer : All right, Mom is forcing me to hang out with you.

  Daria : Forcing?

  Quinn Morgendorffer : I've got her gold card.

  Daria : Why didn't you say so? Give me the first cash advance and you can come with me to the library.

  Quinn Morgendorffer : The library? If anyone saw me there, I'd die.

  Daria : Okay, then, how about the mall? You know, where your friends hang out.

• Daria Morgendorffer : Alright, so I thought I was making a joke, but I was really humiliating you in front of this guy you like...

  Jane Lane : [Interrupts]  Appreciate.

  Daria Morgendorffer : - This guy you appreciate, which was stupid and insensitive. So I'm an idiot and I'm sorry, okay?

  Jane Lane : Not so fast; How do I know this is a sincere apology and not a cheap ploy to get back on my good side?

  Daria Morgendorffer : Why does there have to be a difference?

  Jane Lane : I accept.

• Ms. Morris : Ladies. Why aren't you exercising with the rest of the class?

  Jane Lane : We are exercising.

  Daria Morgendorffer : We're exercising our right to abstain from cheerleader practice.

  Ms. Morris : That's not cheerleading, it's agility. Jane Lane, you're just like your sisters, aren't you?

  Jane Lane : We share certain chromosome pairs. Beyond that, I'm not supposed to say.

  Ms. Morris : You know what I mean. Can't be part of a group. Always have to be different. Your sister Penny never wanted to participate, either. I taught her a thing or two about the American competitive spirit.

  Jane Lane : You sure did. That's why she's spent the last ten years out of the country.
