Annie Quotes:

  • Annie: What is that smell?

    Jack: It's gas.

    Annie: We're leaking gas?

    Jack: We are now.

    Annie: What, you thought you needed another challenge or something?

  • [last lines]

    Jack: I have to warn you, I've heard relationships based on intense experiences never work.

    Annie: OK. We'll have to base it on sex then.

    Jack: Whatever you say, ma'am.

  • Annie: So you're a cop, right?

    Jack: That's right.

    Annie: Well, I should probably tell you that I'm taking the bus because I had my driver's license revoked.

    Jack: What for?

    Annie: Speeding.

  • [after surviving the bus explosion]

    Annie: You're not going to get mushy on me, are you?

    Jack: Maybe. I might.

    Annie: I hope not, 'cause you know, relationships that start under intense circumstances, they never last.

    Jack: Oh yeah?

    Annie: Yeah, I've done extensive study on this.

  • Jack: It's a game. If he gets the money he wins, if the bus blows up he wins.

    Annie: What if you win?

    Jack: Then tomorrow we'll play another one.

    Annie: But I'm not available to drive tomorrow. Busy.

  • Annie: You didn't leave me. I can't believe it... you didn't leave me.

    Jack: Didn't have anywhere to be just then.

  • Jack: [answering phone] Harry! Tell me good news man.

    Howard Payne: Oh, I'm sorry Jack. He didn't make it.

    Jack: [realizes; slight pause] Fuck!

    Howard Payne: It was the watch that lead him to me, wasn't it? It seemed a little hammy to me, to build a bomb out of my precious retirement gift. But you know, I figured a sign that said "Howard Payne" would be pushing it.

    Jack: I'm gonna rip your fucking spine out, I swear to God.

    Howard Payne: You're gonna do exactly as you're told! Jack, we both know he was the brains of your particular operation. You can't beat me, you're gonna pay me every dollar. Otherwise, you, the wildcat, and every innocent person on that bus, are gonna end up just like your friend. You paying attention? Jack, you listening to me? Jack? Jack!

    Jack: Yeah...

    Howard Payne: Good! Now you tell them that the drop point is Pershing Square. You drop the bags and leave. I don't show until all your people are gone. It's getting on to 11 AM, Jack, and I think it's gonna be a very pretty day.

    [laughs nefariously]

    Howard Payne: [hangs up; Jack flips out]

    Annie: Jack stop it! We're really scared and we need you right now. I can't do this by myself! Jack, please?

    Jack: Arizona Wildcats.

    Annie: Right...

    Jack: He can see you.

    Annie: What?

    Jack: He can see you. Just keep looking straight ahead.

    Jack: [Jack looks around; finds the camera] He called you a Wildcat before. I didn't even pick up on it. Bastard's got a camera right in your face. He can see the whole bus. He's been playing me from minute one.

    Annie: Well, he can see me but can he hear me?

    Jack: Doesn't look like it he's just watching you.

  • Ortiz: I'm telling ya, honey, he's somewhere jerking off.

    Annie: He didn't have to get ON the bus in the first place, Ortiz. Hey, get your ass behind the yellow line!

  • Annie: [Jack has just killed Payne on the train roof] Where is Payne?

    Jack: He lost his head.

    Annie: Oh, really?

    Stephens: Yeah. I hate to use the word 'tourist,' but it's not like I can hide it...

    Annie: Not really.

    Stephens: [sigh] Did you know it took me three hours to get here from the airport? I got so lost. LA's one big place, but I guess you don't notice, seeing as you live here. I'm such a yokel. There, I said it!

    Annie: Oh jeez. You know what? I got gum on my seat, GUM!

    [sits on a different bus seat nearer the front]

  • Annie: [Annie has just driven the bus into a woman's baby carriage]

    Annie: What?

    Jack: They were just cans.

  • Jack: He's the asshole, Annie, the guy who puts us here. Remember that, ok?

    Annie: Big asshole.

    Annie: Yeah.

    Bobby: What the hell? It's, like, 115 degrees.

  • Bobby: That's Viper territory. I'm a Deuce.

    Annie: A Douche?

  • Annie: Come on... it's just a line in the street.

    Bobby: Not to me.

  • Annie: So, this is your idea of a good night, huh. Get me drunk and then screw me.

    Truck Turner: Okay, okay, we'll get something to eat first.

    Annie: Truck, talk to me. Do you know him?

    Annie: Well, then why were they shooting at us?

    Truck Turner: I don't know, but I'll find out. I'm gonna find out.

    Truck Turner: What do ya want, man?

    Harvard Blue: Checkin' you out, "man".

    Truck Turner: What is all this shootin' shit outside?

    Harvard Blue: [Chuckles as he stands up] The sky's about to open on your head. Better retire. Take a vacation. Lay on a beach for about 90 years.

  • Annie: Hallie, what was your mother like?

    Hallie: I never met her. She and my Dad split up when I was a baby, maybe even before, I'm not sure. He doesn't really like to talk about her... but I know she was really beautiful.

    Annie: How do you know that?

    Hallie: Because my dad had this old picture of her hidden in his sock drawer and he caught me looking at it all the time so he gave it to me to keep. I'm really thirsty, you sure you don't want to go to the canteen and get something to drink?

    Annie: Will you stop thinking about your stomach at a time like this!

    Hallie: At a time like what?

    Annie: [as she and Hallie step back into the cabin] Don't you realize what's happening? Oh man, this is beyond coincidence, this is beyond imagination! I only have a mother, and you only have a father... You've never seen your Mom, and I've never seen my Dad. You have one old picture of your Mom, I have one old picture of my Dad but at least yours is probably a whole picture.

    [Hallie races over to her trunk]

    Annie: Mine's a pathetic little thing, ripped right down the middle... What are you rummaging in your trunk for this time?

    Hallie: [she finally faces Annie as she hold a picture to her chest] This. It's the picture of my Mom. And it's ripped too.

    Annie: [knowing] Right down the middle?

    Hallie: [nervously] Right down the middle.

    Annie: [races over to her trunk and takes out a photo and holds it to her chest] This is so freaky. Okay. On the count of three, we'll show them to each other, okay?

    Hallie: Okay.

    Annie: One...

    Hallie: Two...

    Annie: [together with Hallie] Three!

    [they both gasp as they place the photo together and realize... ]

    Hallie: That's my Dad...

    Annie: That's my Mom...

    [she hears the bell]

    Annie: That's the lunch bell.

    Hallie: [as she wipes away her tears] I'm not so hungry anymore. So if your Mom is my Mom and my Dad is your Dad... and we're both born on October 11th, then you and I are... like... sisters.

    Annie: Sisters? Hallie, we're like twins!

    Hallie: Oh my god!

    Annie: Oh my god!

    [they hug]

  • Hallie: You wanna know the *real* difference between us?

    Annie: YOU'RE nervous? An 11 year-old is cutting my hair!

    Hallie: Hey, you sounded just like me!

    Annie: Well, I'm supposed to, aren't I?

    [sighs in desparation]

    Annie: Go on, just do it.

  • Hallie: [playing poker with Annie at camp] I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'll make you a little deal: *loser* jumps into the lake after the game.

    Annie: Excellent.

    Hallie: Butt naked.

    Annie: Even more excellent. Start unzipping, Parker.

    [revealing her hand to Hallie]

    Annie: Straight, in diamonds.

    [revealing her hand to Annie]

    Hallie: In your honor, a royal flush.

  • Hallie: [takes out a box of Oreos] Want one?

    Annie: Oh, sure, I love Oreos. At home, I eat them with... I eat them with peanut butter.

    Annie: Me either.

  • Annie: Need a hand, Mer?

    Hallie: Got it, Cruella.

    Meredith Blake: What did you call me?

    Hallie: Nothing. Nothing. Not a thing, Cruella. Oh, by the way, Mer. I think there's something on your head.

    [the lizard is on her head]

  • Elizabeth James: [thinking she is talking to her father, who has a newspaper up between them] Hey stranger...

    Hallie: [puts down newspaper. then] Hey Mom, did you know that the Concorde gets you here in half the time?

    Elizabeth James: [flustered] Yes, I, I've heard that...

    Annie: [after Hallie surprises Elizabeth and Annie by arriving in London and showing up at their home before Elizabeth and Annie do] What are you doing here?

    Hallie: It took us abound 30 seconds after you guys left for us to realize we didn't want to lose you two again.

    Elizabeth James: We?

    Nick Parker: [walking in from another room] We. I made the mistake of not coming after you once, Lizzie. I'm not going to do that again no matter how brave you are.

    Elizabeth James: And I suppose you just expect me to go weak at the knees, and fall into your arms, and cry hysterically. And say we'll just figure this whole thing out. A bi-continental relationship with our daughters being raised here and there. And. And, you and I just picking up where we left off and growing old together. And... and... c'mon, Nick, what do you expect? To live happily ever after?

    Annie: Oh, sorry, I wish I could, but I can't, I-I'm allergic.

    Marva Kulp, Sr.: Yes, you just told me that over here. How'd you get over there? Well, first day at camp you'll have to excuse the old girl.

    [Annie walks away]

    Marva Kulp, Sr.: At least I'm not putting salt in the sugar shakers. Well, actually sugar in the salt shakers, but... now where did she get off to?

  • Nick Parker: [hiking] I'm going to take the lead. You two help Meredith.

    Annie: Yeah, see any cliffs?

  • Elizabeth James: [after the limo pulls up to the end of an empty pier and everyone gets out] Where are we?

    Nick Parker: This is where we're eating?

    Hallie: [Pointing to a 100+ foot yacht] No. Actually, *that's* where we're eating.

    Annie: She's ours for the night.

    Nick Parker: Wow. So, how exactly are we paying for this?

    Annie: Well, we pooled our allowances.

    Hallie: Why didn't I think of that?...

  • Annie: Mum. Daddy's getting married.

    [Elizabeth falls to the couch, stunned]

    Annie: To Cruella de Vil. She's awful, Mum. We can't let him go through with it.

    Annie: Well, I doubt it, but thanks, Martin.

    Frank: Well, no one's doing one in the Catskills. Seems to be a big draw over there.

    Annie: It would be very amusing to see all those Jews from Levitsky's summer colony, you know, the ones with the black top hats and the curls, running for their lives chased by our local livestock. Wouldn't that be a wonderful sight!

    Helen: [peeks her head over] Please... Nathan?

    Rhodes: Who's this one?

    Annie: Hi, I'm Helen.

    [reaches hand out]

    Rhodes: What?

    Annie: This is Helen...

    Rhodes: [smiles] Hello, Helen. I've heard... wonderful things.

  • Annie: [Drunk on plane, pulls open curtains to coach after getting kicked out of first class] It's called civil *rights*. This is the '90s.

  • [first lines]

    Annie: [having sex] I'm glad you called.

    Ted: I'm so glad you were free.

    Annie: I love your eyes.

    Ted: Cup my balls.

  • Annie: It's a good tub. I slept there for my 30th birthday.

  • Annie: Ooh, this a very strict plane. Welcome to Germany!

    [imitating Hitler]

    Annie: Aufwiedersein Asshole.

  • Annie: I'm sorry I didn't mean to waste your time... that's so embarrassing. Thank you.

    Officer Nathan Rhodes: No, you are welcome.

    [in a sarcastic tone]

    Officer Nathan Rhodes: This is kind of high octane stuff that really made me want to become a cop. Missing girl found at her apartment... it's adrenaline pinching.

    [awkward exchange of words]

    Officer Nathan Rhodes: Anyway, go and save your friend from her apartment. Bye bye.

  • Annie: Carol, get your shit together Carol!

  • Annie: [imitating Helen] Oh, you live in Milwaukee? Oh, I'm sorry.

  • Megan: I fell off a cruise ship, but I'm back

    Annie: Oh, shit.

    Megan: Yeah, "oh shit." Took a hard, hard, violent fall. Kind of pinballed down. Hit a lot of railings, broke a lot of shit. I'm not going to say I survived, I'm going to say I thrived. I met a dolphin down there. And I swear to God, that dolphin looked not at me, but into my soul, into my goddamn soul, Annie. And he said, "I'm saving you Megan." Not with his mouth, but he said it, I'm assuming, telepathically.

  • Riggan: [waiting for his cue during Mike's scene] He's good, huh?

    Annie: He's incredible. I think he's drinking real gin.

  • Annie: The sunbed is here.

    Riggan: What does that mean?

    Annie: That means there is a sunbed out there being delivered to in here.

  • Liz: Pop.

    Annie: Six.

    June: Squish.

    Hunyack: Unh-uh.

    Velma Kelly: Cicero.

    Mona: Lipschitz.

  • Annie: I met Ezekiel Young from Salt Lake city about two years ago and he told me he was single and we hit it off right away. So, we started living together. He'd go to work, he'd come home, I'd fix him a drink, we'd have dinner. And then I found out. "Single" he told me. Single, my ass. Not only was he married... oh, no, he had six wives. One of those Mormons, you know. So that night, when he came home, I fixed him his drink as usual. You know, some guys just can't hold their arsenic.

  • Annette: May I take your sweater, miss?

    Annie: Will I get it back?

  • Annie: I guess they're dead. I guess I've known that deep down for a long time.

    Daddy Warbucks: I'm not giving up. Don't you give up.

    Annie: I didn't want to be just another orphan, Mr. Warbucks. I wanted to believe I was special.

    Daddy Warbucks: You *are* special! *Never* stop believing that!

  • Daddy Warbucks: I never thought I'd get used to a girl.

    Annie: Girls are easier to get used to than boys. Look how used to Miss Farrell you are. She does all the work around here, and you don't even know her first name.

    Daddy Warbucks: I do, it's Grace.

    Annie: She thinks you're the greatest thing since sliced bread.

    Daddy Warbucks: [surprised] I beg your pardon?

    Annie: I know it's none of my business, but you never notice anything!

  • Grace: The swimming pool is down the stairs.

    Annie: Inside the house? Oh. boy.

    Grace: The tennis court is in the rear.

    Annie: I never even picked up a racket.

    Grace: What? Have an instructor here at noon. And get that Don Budge fellow if he's available.

    Annie: I think I'm gonna like It here.

  • Annie: I don't need sunshine now to turn my skies to blue. I Don't Need anything but you.

  • Annie: [sings] It's the hard knock life for us.

    Orphans: [sings] It's the hard knock life for us / 'Steada treated... we get tricked! / 'Steada kisses... we get kicked! / It's the hard knock life!

  • Annie: The sun'll come out tomorrow, so you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow. Come what may. Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, Tomorrow. You're only a day away.

  • Annie: All right, who's next? Anybody else? Then get lost!

  • Grace: Annie, how would you like to spend a week with Mr. Warbucks at his house?

    Annie: Oh boy! I would love to. I would really, really love to.

  • Annie: Leaping lizards!

    Miss Hannigan: "Leaping lizards!"

  • Annie: Pepper lies a lot. She probably hasn't been to a movie, either. Actually, I think it's better when you don't know what you're missing.

    Daddy Warbucks: Punjab, buy out the 8:00 show. Let's all go to the movies.

  • Annie: [while tearing up the check] Mr. Warbucks will eat your livers!

    Rooster: I'll kill ya, ya little brat. I'll kill ya!

    Miss Hannigan: [to herself] He's really gonna kill her!

    [while chasing Rooster and Annie]

    Miss Hannigan: Rooster! Rooster stop! Rooster, she's a baby!

  • FDR: I want to feed them and house them and pay them. Not much, but enough to send home to their parents. So they can hold their heads up again and be proud to be Americans.

    Annie: That's a swell idea.

    Daddy Warbucks: It isn't a swell idea, Annie. It's mistaken foolishness.

  • Annie: Who would want to kill Mr. Warbucks?

    Grace: The Bolsheviks, dear. He's living proof that the American system really works and the Bolsheviks don't want anyone to know about that.

    Annie: The Bolsheviks? Leapin' lizards!

  • Miss Hannigan: What do we say, Annie?

    Annie: I love you Miss Hannigan.

    [Jumps from the bed on to her foot]

  • Annie: I love you, Daddy Warbucks.

  • Annie: You've given me so much already, Mr. Warbucks.

    Daddy Warbucks: I got the papers signed today, it's official.

    Annie: What is?

    [Warbucks pulls out the locket]

    Annie: It's so pretty, but...

    Daddy Warbucks: Let me put it on you.

    Annie: No. It's a really swell locket, Mr. Warbucks, but if it's all the same to you, I'll keep my old one.

    Daddy Warbucks: It isn't all the same to me. Your old one's broken, this one's engraved, you didn't even look at it: 'To Annie, with love, from... Daddy Warbucks.

    Annie: Mr. Warbucks, when my folks left me at the orphanage ten years ago, they left a note saying they'd come back to get me as soon as they could, and they kept the other half of this old locket so I'd know them when they came. I'm going to find them someday, Mr. Warbucks. I'm going to have a regular mother and father, like a regular kid. I am! I don't mean to hurt your feelings. You've been nicer to me than anybody in the whole wide world, but I've been dreaming of my folks for as long as I can remember, and I've just got to find them.

    Annie: I love fucking you.

    Jay: I fucking love you.

  • Annie: I don't belong here, I feel it, don't you think I feel it. I can't do any of these vile things and I wouldn't WANT to. Oh, my life is like death. My children are the spawn of hell, and you're the devil. Oh God.

    Dean Proffitt: But baby, we LIKE you.

  • Annie: Mrs. Burbridge, would you come over here for a moment? Has it *escaped your attention* that these children have head to toe poison oak?

    Adele Burbridge: Well no, I... well yes, but...

    Annie: But WHAT? My children are in need of medical assistance! And you can sit here and smugly lecture me on the importance of tests? Tests which exist to pigeonhole childrens potential, a thing which cannot *possibly* be measured, least of all by anal compulsive HUNS! And my husband may be a "large child," but that's none of your business! And my children may be rotten, but they're MINE. And I think that they're bright, and sensitive, so I have no doubts whatsoever about their intelligence. I do however have *serious* doubts about YOURS.

  • Annie: I'm a short, fat slut.

  • Annie: Tell me something about my life, Dean, something not horrible.

    Dean Proffitt: Well uh... yeah, there was that time you were working at Burger Boy, and this kid started choking on a French fry, and everybody in the place panicked, including me, except you, you knew exactly what to do. You ran over to the kid and you gave him that Heimlech, you know,

    [grunts]

    Dean Proffitt: and puh! The kid puked up the fry and they named you Burger Boy employee of the month. They put your picture above the cash register and everything.

    Annie: They aren't mine...

    Dean Proffitt: Oh I was sure you'd remember them!

    Annie: I think I'd remember if I had 3 children...

    Dean Proffitt: ...FOUR honey, don't forget little Joe!

    Dean Proffitt: [comes up to them] What's going on?

    Billy Pratt: I confess. The jig is up!

    Dean Proffitt: The jig IS up, Billy, I'm finally trying to tell her the truth.

    Billy Pratt: I just did. See, I didn't get the name Bad Billy Pratt for nothing. I'm sorry, Annie, I got horny, do you hate me?

    Annie: [smiles] No, no

  • Annie: [seeing the counterfeit photos that supposedly depict her wedding to Dean, but which are actually just expertly "merged" images which combine her gloomy "amnesia-state" photos with Dean's deceased wife's wedding photos] It's my wedding day, why do I look so annoyed?

    Matty Banks: Annie?

    Annie: Yeah?

    Matty Banks: Goodnight.

    Annie: Goodnight, Matty. I love you.

    Matty Banks: I love you too.

  • Annie: I'm very sorry I ever met you. And I'm sorry that I allowed myself to love you for all those years. I'm sorry that I did nothing but be there for you every minute of every hour and support you in your every *move*. I'm sorry!

  • Annie: Let's synchronize our watches.

    Brenda: Ooo, just like "Mission: Impossible!"

    Elise: Oh, that was a big hit.

  • Annie: What if Elise starts drinking again and then you start sniping away?

    Elise: Been there!

    Brenda: Done that!

  • Elise: [Drunk] You never even wrote to me!

    Annie: [Meekly] You were unlisted...

    Elise: And you always talked about me behind my back!

    Brenda: Oh, you deserved it!

  • Annie: [having a panic attack] I'm clean! I'm clean! I'm clean!

    [Brenda and Elise whack her over the head with some file folders]

  • Elise: And you didn't even invite me to your son's bar mitzvah!

    Brenda: I didn't think you would come.

    Annie: Yeah, it was in Hebrew!

    Brenda: Oh shutup!

  • Teddy Cullinane: [broadcasting on the radio] I've never seen Crash so angry. And frankly, sports fans, he used a word that's a no-no with umpires.

    Millie: [Annie snaps off the radio] Crash must've called the guy a cocksucker.

    Annie: Mmmmm. How romantic.

  • [Annie laughs as Penelope puts a pig mask on]

    Penelope: What?

    Annie: Nothing. It's just nice to see the old you again.

  • Penelope: Helaborasoreantalis. They're amazing; they bloom even in the winter.

    Annie: That's cool.

    Penelope: They just pop up without any help from anyone.

    Annie: [laughs] Kind of like my ex-boyfriend, if you know what I mean.

  • Annie: So what are you hiding from the law or is it just a bad nose job?

    Penelope: Mhm, bad nose job.

  • Annie: I'm the most screwed-up person in the world!

    Sarah: You're not even the most screwed-up person in this room!

  • Annie: Scared? Of What? If I was scared, why would I be getting married?

  • Annie: Lesbians!

    [sweeping hand gesture toward row of parked rental cars]

    Annie: Here are the Subarus.

  • Annie: Dad, you're going to have to deal with this. You got to think about it, make some decisions.

    Clifford: Annie, I'm going to eat my dinner, and then I'm going to watch some moronic situation comedy, and then I'm going to sleep the sleep of the dead. Can we worry about this tomorrow?

  • Annie: We really have to go now.

    Josh: Give my regards to Mars.

    Charlie: Don't be so quick. You're not as smart as you think you are.

  • Annie: Hi.

    Josh: Hi.

    Annie: How are you?

    Josh: I'm fine. So... uh... how about getting together sometime and doing something normal?

    Annie: Normal like a movie?

    Josh: Yeah.

  • Annie: You baked that?

    Chris: I'm not a total dead loss as a woman. I can't knit or make plum jam but I can bake a bloody Victoria sponge.

    Annie: Ok, thank you.

    Chris: Course, I didn't actually bake this one - I got it at Marks and Spencer - but the point is...

    Annie: You can't enter a cake you bought in a shop!

    Chris: Get off! It doesn't matter where it comes from, does it? This is about putting up a united front against Highgyll. This isn't bakery. It's Zulu.

  • [Jem has been arrested by the police for possession of cannabis]

    Rod: They're not charging him.

    Annie: Why? Is it not illegal then?

    Rod: Well, cannabis is, but they tend not to worry too much about oregano.

  • Marie: It says here in this letter from Leukaemia Research Fund that the calendar has so far raised a total of £286,000. So congratulations to all of us for making it such a success.

    Annie: [whispers to Chris] We can get that sofa in the leather then.

  • Annie: None of us have been here before, love. I mean, for God's sake, my John didn't see me naked until the spring of 1975.

    Chris: What happened in the spring of '75?

    Annie: There was a lizard in the shower block at Abergele.

    [laughter]

    Annie: Quite a few people saw me naked that morning.

  • Celia: It's the whole showing your breasts issues that concerns me.

    Annie: The point is that we won't really be showing anything.

    Celia: Yes, that's what concerns me.

    Annie: Yours are good, are they?

    Celia: They're tremendous.

  • Annie: Jessie, we're getting to the point now where we really need to commit...

    Jessie: No front bottoms.

    Annie: What?

    Jessie: I'm in. Just no front bottoms. That's a sight I reserved for just one man in my life.

    Annie: Do you think your husband would mind?

    Jessie: It wasn't my husband.

  • Ruth: Well, I think it's a great idea.

    Cora: You weren't concentrating, were you Ruth?

    Ruth: I was. We're going to raise money to buy a sofa for the hospital in John's name.

    Celia: By posing for a nude calendar!

    Ruth: Oh no!

    Chris: Oh sit down. I'm not asking you to straddle an 'Arley Davidson.

    Celia: It's still a bit of a leap from Burnsall church, love.

    Chris: That's the 'ole point. It's an alternative calendar, it's...

    Annie: It's what John suggested.

    Chris: Did he?

    Annie: The last stage of the flower is the most glorious. So what this calendar would be saying is "actually, yes John, we agree".

    Ruth: With respect, I didn't hear him use the phrase "whip your bras off"

  • Marie: I do know how you must be feeling.

    Annie: Do you? Oh dear.

    Marie: Are you sure John would have approved?

    Annie: You said yourself, you didn't know him.

    Marie: I know he was a decent man...

    Annie: If your concern is for the reputation of Knapely WI...

    Marie: It's not.

    Annie: I think it is. The WI is about doing good. And what does more good? Knowing slightly more about broccoli one week than we did the last or providing some comfort for someone in the worst hours of their life because that's what it's like sweetheart. And no. I don't think you do know how I feel.

  • W.I. Judge: And the winner of this year's May Wilkinson trophy for Victoria Sponge maximum twelve inch diameter I'm delighted to say is entry number 213.

    Annie: [whispers] Nice knowing you, Chris.

    Chris: [whispers back] Help me!

    Ruth: Well that's interesting.

    W.I. Judge: entered by Knapely WI and baked by Chris Harper.

  • Chris: You should've told us. I'm your oldest friend, you should've told me the moment you found out.

    Annie: I did.

  • Chris: Did you talk to the specialist? John seems a lot chirpier today. What's the old...

    Annie: Pneumonia and septicaemia.

    Chris: Oh well that's good, I've heard of those. They can deal with those can't they?

    Annie: It means his immune system's weakened. The chemo isn't working which means we are finally out of straws.

  • Annie: If we can't use the name WI then we just don't use it.

    Chris: Then, what? We'll have a calendar of some middle aged women mysteriously standing naked behind fruit cakes.

  • Annie: Anybody fancy some chips?

  • John: Don't you go buying any benches.

    Annie: I'll do what the hell I like John Clarke.

    John: If you put a bench out here, it'll have "Leeds stuffed Arsenal" on it before you get back to the car.

  • Annie: Jessie! What did I say about relaxing him?

  • Chris: You missed it. We were just on television, the whole reason we came here.

    Annie: I thought that was to get away from the press.

  • [talking to Chris about her dead husband, John]

    Annie: I'd rob every penny from this calendar if it would buy me just one more hour with him.

  • Annie: [mid-interview Annie calls over to Jessie who's passing by] Oh, hi ya Jessie!

    [to reporters]

    Annie: Sorry. That's our Miss September.

  • Chris: I've put our names down for speakers next month: "Chris and Annie: What we learned in 'Ollywood".

    Annie: You're lying. I know for a fact that Colin Petley's coming from Keighley with his collection of tea towels.

    Chris: Be still my beating heart!

  • Annie: Of course, we're not going to go round parading ourselves in a room full of men. This isn't... France, for God's sake!

  • Marie: Victoria Sponge. Annie's on Victoria sponge.

    [Marie leaves. Chris dives under the table and brings out a cake tin]

    Ruth: What's that?

    Chris: Well, Annie won't have had time running Yul Brynner in and out of Skipton General, so ta da!

    Annie: Sorry I'm late. It just took a bit longer than... Oh my God, the cake!

    Chris: Told you.

  • Chris: Annie, what *is* the point of the WI?

    Annie: Enlightenment, fun and friendship!

    Chris: [to John] It's right. It's them things. Or in my case it's something you did because your mother wanted you to and then she went ahead and died and then it was too late.

    Annie: You love it.

  • Annie: It's a bit out of character for Rod, don't you think? Saying all that? Did he get tricked into it? Did you stay to find out? Or by that time was there a taxi waiting?

  • Annie: Can I remind you how much last year's calendar raised? £75.60

  • Chris: You cannot stand it. You cannot stand that *I* have made this calendar a success.

    Annie: No. You see, what's happened Chris is that this calendar has made *you* a success.

  • Cora: I'm surprised they printed it.

    Jessie: It's probably all over the internet by now.

    Annie: By the sound of it, most people have seen it already.

    Chris: Lots of people have photos taken with their tops off on holiday in Ibiza don't they?

    Ruth: It probably just came as a slight shock Chris, what with the previous fifteen photos being of flower arrangements.

  • Annie: Bad girl.

    Chris: Bun toucher.

  • Cora: There's no E flat in Jerusalem.

    Annie: I'll be a bit disappointed if they're looking at me fingers.

  • Annie: Your son's been arrested.

    Chris: And released with 10g of oregano. The only thing that'd be dangerous in is a quiche.

  • Annie: Sadness be gone, let's be people who deserve to be loved, who are worthy, cause we are worthy.

  • Sam #2: You can hear this, close your eyes

    Annie: What?

    Sam #2: I just want you to listen to me. Humor me please?

    Sam #2: [Annie closes her eyes] It's not easy to be adored - you in particular - you have a tougher time with it than most, I get that, but I want you to give it a try. Think of it as an experiment. I promise I will be very wonderful at adoring you Annie. It an area where, I think I got a great deal of talent. You're worth the adoration Annie, you're worth it, and the fact that you don't believe it, has nothing to do with whether it's true or not, it is true for me, and that is all that matters.

  • Alfie: You're not entitled to secret thoughts!

    Annie: Everyone's entitled to secret thoughts!

  • Neil: You cannot come in here. She said so, man. She makes the rules.

    Carl Peterson: You know what? I don't need this, Neil. I don't need this.

    Neil: I don't need this! I'm sorry!

    Annie: Neil, get back in here!

    Neil: She controls what I do!

  • John Tremont: [In his parents house] This place hasn't changed a bit.

    Annie: Yeah, it's going as is to the Smithsonian.

  • Annie: That summer I turned seventeen... and started planning my escape.

  • Annie: A woman has the right to be loved and known.

  • Annie: Let's go to counseling.

  • Lori Tanner: [Reffering to dog food] This stuff is so disgusting.

    Annie: Wait till he goes to the bathroom.

    [Lori laughs]

  • Mike: Annie... I'd like to marry you.

    Annie: According to heaven, we already are.

  • Annie: You know what we've never done. We've never... danced. I'm going arent I?

    Mike: Yes.

    Annie: Don't be sad. Don't get sad mike.

    Mike: Why does it have to be you?

    Annie: It's not sad. I'm going to be somebody's baby.

  • Annie: [Crashing home drunk] Oh Daddy! Why doesn't he love me?

  • Father: What's that doing in here?

    Vinnie: That's our new rubber plant.

    Father: The place for rubber plants is on the equator. Take that object out, Catherine. You're not Catherine.

    Annie: No, sir.

    Father: Good. Never liked Catherine, anyway.

  • Danny: Annie, you look fantastic.

    Annie: I saw you, on the big screen. With Suki.

    Danny: I, um, I'm not really good with words.

    Annie: Try these. Filthy, sneaky, vile, foul, loathsome, mischievous, bloody, bastard, asshole, two-faced fucker!

    [Annie looks up and sees Katerina nodding to her so she continues]

    Annie: *Really* two-faced fucker!

    [Katerina motions the 'slap him' motion. Annie slaps Danny]

  • Bill: One of the best press campaigns...

    [Offers Jean cigaret]

    Jean Maitland: No thanks. Gave it up when I was seven.

    Bill: Bright girl. Busy tonight?

    Jean Maitland: Yes.

    [Following routine lines omitted]

    Bill: Well, you haven't given up eating, have you?

    Jean Maitland: It isn't that. It's - just that I think we hadn't better see each other for a while.

    Bill: Why?

    Jean Maitland: I just think it's better, that's all.

    Bill: [long pause] O-h-h-h.

    Jean Maitland: Why do you say "o-h-h-h" like that?

    Bill: Well, how would you say it?

    Jean Maitland: You make it sound like it meant something else.

    Bill: Well, does it?

    Jean Maitland: Whatever I do is my own business.

    Annie: Are you coming or aren't you?

    Jean Maitland: Oh shut up.

    Bill: Did you eat something sour for lunch today?

  • Jean Maitland: I didn't like the way he looked at me.

    Annie: You should be glad he looked at you at all.

    Judy Canfield: Yeah.

    Jean Maitland: He kinda makes you feel like you ought to run home and put on a tin overcoat.

  • Jean Maitland: He wasn't looking for an act, he was putting one on!

    Annie: You ought to stop at a filling station and get pumped up!

    Judy Canfield: Ah, she ain't exactly a flat, dearie, just a slow leak.

    Olga: If it's not food, it's men. Can't you talk about anything else?

    Judy Canfield: And what else is there?

  • Annie: You're so fond of feuds, you ought to live in the Kentucky mountains.

  • Annie: Attention: Starting Monday, all nurses must wear underwear.

  • Annie: I forgot I had that thing on. It's a facial massager. It's supposed to tighten the muscles on my face.

  • Annie: I baked you this. It'll make you feel better.

    Sam: That's good.

  • Annie: He just wants to know why you're so sad.

  • Annie: You think you care about me, but it's just pity.

  • Annie: You love me, but you're thinking about Hope aren't you?

  • Darren: I has been a little while since... When was the last time that we...

    Annie: Um...

    Darren: After Riches... after Riches party?

    Annie: I don't think we actually had sex then, I think we talked about having sex.

    Darren: No, in the car ride home I thought you were like...

    Annie: No, we talked about having sex, but then we came home and...

    Darren: We got in and the toilet was... running.

    Annie: We didn't do it then, but I was almost positive that we had sex after my parents left - after the holidays.

    Darren: No, cuz remember your shoulder was messed up from helping them load the car?

    Annie: That hurt.

    Darren: So that takes us back... to... January.

    Annie: December was so crazy, too.

    Darren: Yeah, with shopping. Well we definitely did it on Halloween.

  • [last lines]

    Darren: We hopefully never did anything, I just, it just feels so good to know how much you trust me.

    Annie: I trust us, baby.

    Darren: And I hope you now how much I trust you.

    Annie: Thank you.

    Darren: I love you so much.

    Annie: I love you too.

  • Annie: No, really, what're you making?

    Peck: Um, I'd... I'd tell you, but I'd have to kill Marty.

  • Annie: Well, how many cabbies do you know get you into an argument to save you money?

    Max: If there were two of us I'd have to kill the other one. I don't like competition.

  • Annie: ...Go Ahead. Say it.

    Max: Say what?

    Annie: No, say it. You we're right, your way was faster.

    Max: Ah, I got lucky with the lights.

  • Max: How do you like being a lawyer?

    Annie: What are you, psychic?

    Max: Little bit. There's the dark pin-stripe suit, elegant, not too flashy, that rules out advertising, plus a top-drawer briefcase that you live out of. And the purse. A Bottega. Anyway, a man gets in my cab with a sword, I figure he's a sushi chef. You: Clarence Darrow.

  • Lucky Jordan: Don't you know that you shouldn't be drinking at your age?

    Annie: I'd like to be drinking at your age, but time passes.

  • Annie: Molly, they're going to see a smiling snatch if you don't fix this g-string.

  • Annie: Julie, you fucking slut, you touch my make-up again and I'll fucking kill you.

    Julie: Oh, I'm a slut? Well, you fucked that kid from the pizza place!

    Annie: Well, you fucked the meter reader!

    Julie: Bitch!

    Annie: Oh, you're fucking dead!

  • Annie: I been savin' this money for a divorce, if ever I got a husband.

  • George Bailey: [George is having his last meal at home before leaving on his cruise. His father is distraught over his leaving] Pop, I think you're a great guy.

    George Bailey: [thinking Annie is eavesdropping] Did you hear that, Annie?

    Annie: I heard it... 'bout time one of you lunkheads said it!

  • Annie: Boys and girls and music. Why do they need gin?

  • Pa Bailey: I know it's soon to talk about it.

    George Bailey: Oh, now Pop, I couldn't. I couldn't face being cooped up for the rest of my life in a shabby little office... Oh, I'm sorry Pop, I didn't mean that, but this business of nickels and dimes and spending all your life trying to figure out how to save three cents on a length of pipe... I'd go crazy. I want to do something big and something important.

    Pa Bailey: You know, George, I feel that in a small way we are doing something important. Satisfying a fundamental urge. It's deep in the race for a man to want his own roof and walls and fireplace, and we're helping him get those things in our shabby little office.

    George Bailey: I know, Dad. I wish I felt... But I've been hoarding pennies like a miser in order to... Most of my friends have already finished college. I just feel like if I don't get away, I'd bust.

    Pa Bailey: Yes... yes... You're right son.

    George Bailey: You see what I mean, don't you, Pop?

    Pa Bailey: This town is no place for any man unless he's willing to crawl to Potter. You've got talent, son. I've seen it. You get yourself an education. Then get out of here.

    George Bailey: Pop, you want a shock? I think you're a great guy.

    [to Annie, listening through the door]

    George Bailey: Oh, did you hear that, Annie?

    Annie: I heard it. About time one of you lunkheads said it.

  • Ma Bailey: First Harry, now George. Annie, we're just two old maids now.

    Annie: You speak for yourself, Miss B.

  • Pa Bailey: Of course it's just a hope, you wouldn't consider coming back to the Building & Loan would you?

    George Bailey: Well I...

    [notices Annie eavesdropping]

    George Bailey: Annie, why don't you draw up a chair and then you'll be more comfortable and then you can hear everything that's going on?

    Annie: I would if I thought I'd hear anything worth listening to.

  • Rita: Now, Ms. Cossell, in all the time that you've known them, have you ever questioned Sam's ability as a father?

    Annie: Never.

    Rita: Never?

    Annie: Never. Look at Lucy. She's strong. She displays true empathy for people, all kinds of people. I know that you all think she's as smart as she is despite him, but it's because of him.

    Rita: So what you're saying is you don't worry about Lucy's future?

    Annie: No, I do.

    Rita: Ah...

    Annie: I worry all the time. I worry if they take Lucy away from her father they will take away an enormous piece of her, and I worry that she will spend the rest of her life trying to fill that hole.

  • [in Rita's car]

    Rita: On the Porsche the door handle is a little hidden by that thingamajig, so if you're having trouble finding it...

    Annie: NO!

    Sam: Ok, I think maybe Annie's not exactly ready to go yet.

  • Donnie: I bet you love your little children, don't you? I bet they need their mama, don't they?

    Donnie: [to Annie's kids] What's your name?

    Annie: [angrily] Get your ass out of my house! Don't you threaten me or my kids! Now what I do here is my buisness. And if your wife has any sense, she'll leave you so far behind, you'll never find her. Now you get out of here before I have you thrown in jail!

  • Miller Wilson: Momma, what does fuck mean?

    Annie: It's a bad word for something nice.

    Miller Wilson: But what does it mean?

  • Ben: I want icing, Momma.

    Annie: You've had icing enough to put you in a coma.

  • Valerie Barksdale: He got worse. I went to the store yesterday, because we was out of some things. And he got home from work early before I could get back. He was waiting with a razor strap. My legs were all cut up and I got welts the size of footballs on my back and my legs...

    Annie: I feel guilty you paying me money to tell you to get away from him. You got to get help. Legal help.

    Valerie Barksdale: You don't know Donnie Barksdale, Annie. He'll kill me if I leave him. He'll find me. He said he would.

  • Wayne Collins: Well, Mrs. Wilson, I don't pretend to be a psychologist... but err... it's obvious to me that your boy's got a lot of anger in him.

    Annie: Well, umm... It's about this time last year his daddy passed away. He's still real messed up over it.

  • Jessica: You're not that Wilson that's a fortune teller, are you?

    Annie: I don't call myself that.

    Jessica: I'd love for you to read my fortune.

    Annie: I'm pretty booked up.

    Jessica: Do you think we'll leave happily ever after?

    [pause]

    Jessica: What's the matter? You see something bad?

    Annie: Of course not. I'm sure you'll be real happy together.

  • Buddy: You have to tell me, and you have to tell me now.

    Annie: I'll tell you, hun.

    Buddy: If I look into a blue diamond, and I think a negative thought, am I gonna die?

    Annie: No, you're not gonna die. You're not gonna die, Buddy.

  • Valerie Barksdale: I really need to talk to you. Maybe you can read for me under a bridge or something.

    Annie: Well, alright, I'll read for you, but you gotta start listening to me though.

    Valerie Barksdale: I can't leave him. Don't you understand?

  • Wayne Collins: Did you know something was gonna happen to your husband?

    Annie: In an ESP kind of way?

    Wayne Collins: Well, I don't know if...

    Annie: You don't believe in it?

    Wayne Collins: I don't know. I guess I just don't believe there are any great mysteries in life. I kind of figure what you see is what you get.

  • Annie: Buddy, you gotta find out, hun, why you hate him so much.

    Buddy: My daddy's a good man. I don't hate my dad. He was good to Mom and me. Yeah, every kid needs a hit with a belt, sometime... I mean...

    Annie: Buddy, you got to try to get past this wall that you're talking about. Hun, you need to talk about your daddy.

    Buddy: Why don't you tell me why I hate him. You're the good damn psychic! Huh? You're the good damn psychic!

  • Annie: Ben, get your hand out of there. Oh, that's for the cake tonight, honey! What am I gonna ice the cake with?

    Ben: I like icing, Momma. I like it.

    Annie: I can see that, pumpkin.

  • Wayne Collins: Is there anything you can tell us?

    Annie: I can read for you. But that's about all I can do.

  • Annie: My granny told me that I... I had a gift. That it runs in my family. And, she told me that I shouldn't be afraid of it. I should just always use my instinct and I'd... I'd be alright.

    David: So you're swearing before this court that you didn't get your information about this tragedy from any other means than your special ability? Your "gift"?

    Annie: Yes, Sir. I'm swearing that. Yes.

  • Valerie Barksdale: Can you see what I'm thinking? Can you see that in the cards?

    Annie: What do you mean?

    Valerie Barksdale: Well... I've been thinking some real bad, bad thoughts. Un-christian thoughts.

    Annie: Like what?

    Valerie Barksdale: Like... I'm glad that girl's dead. Jessica. She was messing around with my husband and she deserved what she got.

    Annie: No one deserves that.

    Valerie Barksdale: Like I said, I know it's un-Christian.

    [pause]

    Valerie Barksdale: What? What, are you seeing something bad?

    Annie: I don't know. It's unclear.

  • Annie: Wayne, I don't think this is a good idea.

  • Annie: I got a warning today. I think somebody's gonna try and kill me.

    David: So what do you want me to do?

    Annie: I want you to reopen the case and find out who really did it.

    David: There's a saying about letting sleeping dogs lie. You think you're in danger now? Look at it logically. The real danger begins if this case gets reopened and someone starts worrying that you're gonna have another one of your damn dreams.

    Annie: All I know is the wrong man's in jail. I don't care how awful he is. And I helped put him there. I can't live with something like that. So you find a way to reopen this case, Sir. Or I will.

    Annie: Have you been sick.

    Tommy Lee Ballard: Back's been hurting a little.

    Annie: No, no, it's not your back. You been bleeding somewhere?

  • Annie: What I'm seeing is a brick rail fence and a pond. I can smell flowers.

  • Annie: I've never been on a cow farm before. It seems to me that the bulls have the best time. Just laying around the fields waiting for someone to come along and ask them to do their work.

    Tom Booker: You get born a bull you have a 90% chance of being castrated. Served up as hamburger. So on balance, I reckon I'd choose bein' a cow.

  • Tom Booker: Jogger, huh?

    Annie: I don't jog, Mr. Booker, I run.

    Tom Booker: Well that's lucky for you. The grizzlies around here mostly go for the joggers.

  • Annie: I've heard you help people with horse problems.

    Tom Booker: Truth is, I help horses with people problems.

  • Annie: [reading] A million years before man they grazed the vast empty plains, living by voices only they could hear. They first came to know man as the hunted knows the hunter. Before he used horses for his labors, he killed them for meat. The alliance with man would forever be fragile. For the fear he struck deep into their hearts was too deep to be dislodged. Since that neolithic moment when a horse was first haltered, there were those among men who understood this. They could see into the creature's soul and sooth the wounds they found there. The secrets uttered softly into troubled ears. These men were known as the Whisperers.

  • Grace: I've decided about Pilgrim.

    Annie: Oh.

    Grace: I think we should put him down. It's not fair to let him suffer.

    Annie: Well I think that's a very...

    Grace: And maybe we should put me down too.

  • Annie: Don't they believe in signs around here?

    Grace: What would they say? Ten miles to big rock. Twenty miles to bigger rock.

  • [last lines]

    Annie: Can we have one last ride?

    Tom Booker: Yep. I'll saddle up.

  • Annie: I haven't ridden Western before.

    Tom Booker: Yeah, but he doesn't know that. Just sit on the horse.

  • Annie: I had a hard time finding the place. There are no signs.

    Tom Booker: Oh, there are plenty of signs. Just not many of them printed.

  • Tom Booker: Do you ever sit still for just a minute?

    Annie: Well, you sit still too long in New York and you get renovated.

  • [Tom walks up to Annie with two horses]

    Annie: The answer is 'no'.

    Tom Booker: I haven't even asked you the question yet!

  • Robert: Judith's dead.

    Annie: And what about Grace?

    Robert: She's in pretty bad shape.

  • Annie: How do you tell a child that she was born to be hurt?

  • Annie: Miss Lora, we just come from a place where... where my color deviled my baby. Now, anything here has gotta be better.

  • Lora: It never occurred to me that you had many friends. You never have any visit you.

    Annie: I know lots of people. Oh, hundreds.

    Lora: Really?

    Annie: I belong to the Baptist church. And I belong to several lodges too.

    Lora: I didn't know.

    Annie: Miss Lora, you never asked.

  • Annie: I'd be happy knowin' you're meetin' nice young folk...

    Sarah Jane: Busboys! Cooks! Chauffeurs!

    [Hmph]

    Sarah Jane: Like Hawkins. No thank you; I've seen your "nice young folk".

    Annie: I don't wanna fight with you, honey. Not tonight. I don't feel too good. While I get started on the anchovies, will you take this tray in to Miss Lora and her friends?

    Sarah Jane: [sarcastic] Why, certainly. Anything at all for Miss Lora and her friends.

  • Doctor: [Champ has just died] I'm sorry.

    T.J.: [Georgie and Jackie start to cry, TJ is shocked] No! Champ! No! Champ. Is he out? Is he out? What's the matter, Champ? Champ, wake up! Wake up! Wake - wake up!

    [kisses his head]

    T.J.: Champ, wake up, Champ! Hey, don't sleep now. We got to go home. Got to go home, Champ.

    [Georgie collapses into sobs]

    T.J.: Georgie. Don't cry. Georgie.

    [TJ goes to the doctor]

    T.J.: Mister, help me. Wake him up! Wake him!

    Doctor: We're all real sorry.

    T.J.: Please, wake him up!

    Doctor: Let's go outside.

    T.J.: No, no! I don't want to! I don't want to!

    [runs to Jackie]

    T.J.: Jackie! Wake him up! Wake him!

    Jackie: TJ, please.

    T.J.: I want Champ!

    Jackie: TJ...

    T.J.: I want Champ!

    Jackie: TJ. Please, TJ, listen to me. He's gone. He's gone, son. He's gone.

    T.J.: [shakes his head and backs away from Jackie] No. No! He's not gone! He's not! He's not!

    Jackie: [Annie comes in, a smile on her face until she sees Champ and Jackie trying to calm TJ] Please.

    T.J.: He is not dead! He is not dead! I want Champ!

    Jackie: Please, listen to me, son.

    T.J.: I want Champ!

    Jackie: TJ, please, listen to me!

    T.J.: I want Champ! Champ! He is not gone!

    Jackie: [he and the doctor try to drag TJ away from Champ] Come on, son. Come on. TJ.

    Annie: TJ.

    [TJ walks towards her and hugs her, holding on tightly as he sobs]

  • [Annie just revealed to T.J. she is his mother]

    Annie: I'm your mother.

    T.J.: No, my mother's dead. She's a beautiful angel.

    Annie: No she's not, I'm here and I love you.

    T.J.: You don't live with us, you're not married to Champ.

    Annie: Listen to me T.J., you don't have to live with someone to love them, I love you.

    T.J.: Do you love the Champ? Do you? Do you love him? No you're not my mother.

    Annie: No, no please listen to me. It's not that simple. T.J. listen to me.

    T.J.: Go away. Please don't touch me. I don't want you, I don't want you.

    Annie: Timmy.

    T.J.: Go away I told you, go away. Go away, I want the Champ. I want Champ. Champ. I want Champ. I don't want you, I want to go back to the Champ. I want Champ, get out of here.

    [Annie leaves the room frightened]

  • [Billy just sees Annie after 7 years]

    Billy: You know what I told him? I told him that you died, that you were killed in a car wreck. That you were a tramp and we're better off without you. You're dead! Do you understand that? You're dead! The kid's got no mother!

    Annie: I am his mother.

    Billy: You're dead! He's got no mother!

    Annie: I'm here, I am his mother.

  • Billy: What about my heart? What about my mind? What about me? What about me? Billy Flynn! What about me? I'm real, too!

    Annie: What's the matter, Billy? What is it?

    Billy: You could always come back. We"ll take you back You... We'll give you a second chance.

  • Billy: No smoking in the barn area. What do you want?

    Annie: T.J.'s Timmy, isn't he?

    Billy: Yeah, T.J. is Timmy. So you figured it out, so what? Even a dumb horse knows her own foal.

  • Annie: This town is what you call sartorially-challenged.

    Ondine: What does that mean?

    Annie: A supermodel's nightmare.

  • [last lines]

    Annie: What about your past lives?

    Ondine: Are you sure I have them?

    Annie: Oh yeah, everybody does. It's just a matter of remembering.

    Annie: [to her dad] Stop peeping, would you?

    Syracuse: I don't peep.

    Annie: I mean, you could have even been married in one of them...

  • Annie: You sure it's not some kind of wish-fulfillment kind of thing?

    Syracuse: Where did you learn words like that?

    Annie: I go to school.

    Syracuse: And I didn't...

    Annie: No. Let's be honest, you didn't. You move your mouth when you read.

  • Annie: So I supposed she isn't a Selkie really. 'Cause you can't marry a seal, can ya?

    Priest: No, you definitely cannot.

    Annie: Not in the real quotidian world, any way.

    Priest: Quotidian?

    Annie: Yep. Means the one we have to live in. If she was a seal, though, would you still do the wedding?

    Priest: Me?

  • Annie: So what's the story?

  • Annie: [Describing the Selkies] They don't speak, they sing.

  • Annie: [discussing Enzo and Hayley's proximity while shooting a video] Hey! This is awkward, huh?

    Carter: Yeah. You know, if he wasn't gay I might just have to kill him.

  • Annie: It's okay. It's not like you mowed down a deaf kid while texting. This is fixable.

  • Annie: You gotta lot of style for somebody with pigeon crap on their shoulder, Cosmo.

    Cosmo Carboni: That ain't real pigeon crap. That's just something I had sewn on to make me stand out in a crowd. You know?

  • [Her husband and Joe are arguing.]

    Annie: Boys, if you can't play nice, we're not gonna have any more of these little sleepovers.

  • Dave Robicheaux: What'd the guy look like?

    Annie: He looked like a big bad guy.

  • Annie: Look Dave, if you want to go back to the First District, maybe we should think about it.

    Dave Robicheaux: No... no.

    Annie: Why not? Because you don't think I could handle it?

    Dave Robicheaux: No.

    [pause]

    Dave Robicheaux: Because I don't Want you to handle it.

  • The Truck Driver: I tell ya, he's causing problems enough for your boss with all that talk... goddamn nuisance... Did he tell you anything?

    Annie: Oh, I'll be cooking for fifty kids and ten staff. The campers will mostly be like inner-city children.

    The Truck Driver: I mean about what happened.

    Annie: No.

    [the truck driver shakes head]

    Annie: Come on, there's something you're not telling me.

    The Truck Driver: Quit. Quit now.

    Annie: Quit? Why would I wanna quit?

    The Truck Driver: Camp Crystal Lake is jinxed.

    Annie: Oh, terrific. Not you, too! You sound like your crazy friend back there, Ralph.

    The Truck Driver: Did Christy ever tell you 'bout the two kids murdered in '58? Boy drowning in '57? Buncha fires. Nobody knows who did any of 'em. In 1962, they was gonna open up... the water was bad. Christy'll end up just like his folks, crazy and broke. He's been up there a year fixin' up that place. He musta dropped 25 thousand dollars, and for what? Ask anybody, quit.

    Annie: I can't.

    The Truck Driver: Dumb kids. Know-it-alls. Just like my niece, heads fulla rocks.

    Annie: You're an American Original.

    The Truck Driver: [mocking] I'm an American Original. Dumb kid.

    The Truck Driver: Oh, shut up, Ralph.

    Crazy Ralph: It's got a death curse!

  • Annie: Guess I always wanted to work with children. I hate when people call 'em kids. Sounds like little goats. But when you've had a dream as long as I have, you'll do anything.

  • Annie: [Michael Myers' car cruises by the girls walking home from school] Hey, jerk! Speed kills!

    [the car screeches to a halt]

    Lynda: Totally.

    Annie: I *hate* a guy with a car and no sense of humor.

  • Annie: Still spooked?

    Laurie: I wasn't spooked.

    Annie: Lies!

    Laurie: I wasn't! I saw someone standing in Mr. Riddle's back yard.

    Annie: Probably Mr. Riddle!

    Laurie: He was watching me.

    Annie: Mr. Riddle was watching you? Laurie, Mr. Riddle is eighty-seven!

    Laurie: He can still watch.

    Annie: That's probably all he can do!

  • Lynda: [concerning Annie] The only reason she babysits is to have a place for...

    Laurie: [realizing she had forgot something] Shit.

    Laurie: I forgot my chemistry book.

    Lynda: So, who cares? I always forget my chemistry book and my math book, and my English book, and my, let's see, my French book, and... well, who needs books anyway? I don't need books. I always forget all my books. I mean, it doesn't really matter if you have your books or not... Hey, isn't that Devon Graham?

    [marches over to the bush]

    Annie: Hey, creep!

    [pauses]

    Annie: Laurie, dear. He wants to talk to you. He wants to take you out tonight.

    Laurie: [seeing there's nobody there] He was standing right there.

    Annie: Poor Laurie! Scared another one away. It's tragic, you *never* go out. You must have a small fortune stashed away from babysitting so much.

    Laurie: Guys think I'm too smart.

    Annie: I don't. I think you're wacko. Now you're seeing men behind bushes!

  • Lynda: So Annie, are we still on for tonight?

    Annie: I wouldn't want to get you in deep trouble, Lynda!

    Lynda: Oh, come on, Annie! Bob and I have been planning it for weeks.

    Annie: All right, the Wallaces leave at seven.

    Laurie: I'm babysitting the Doyles, it's two houses down. We can keep each other company!

  • Laurie: [sees Annie wearing a shirt because her clothes are in the laundry] Oh, fancy!

    Laurie: Listen, I want you to call Ben Tramer and tell him you were just fooling around.

    Annie: I can't.

    Laurie: Yes, you can.

    Annie: No, I can't. He went drinking with Mike Godfrey and won't be home until late. You'll have to call him tomorrow. Besides, I'm on my way to pick up Paul.

    Laurie: Wait a minute...

    Annie: If you watch her, I'll consider talking to Ben Tramer in the morning. Deal?

    Laurie: Deal.

    [to herself after Annie leaves]

    Laurie: The old Girl Scout comes through again.
