Candace Quotes in Boys Don't Cry (1999)

Brandon: So what's your name?

Candace: [laughs] Candace. I hate it though. I'm thinking of changing it.

Brandon: Sometimes that helps. I'm Brandon.

Crockett: [in motorboat, Candace has admitted she likes Crockett] What about Lance Cashman? Yeah, Lance!

Candace: [passing Lance on the dock] Lance Cashman? Lance Cashman is a TOTAL JERK-OFF!

Crockett: Allright! She likes me! She likes me!

[laughs]

Lance: [to himself] Jerk off? I don't jerk off...

Candace: I'm sorry, I didn't see the light.

Stretch: Well, don't go towards it now.

Candace: I'm just saying, Jordan's good people, you should get to know her.

Robyn: What's to know? She's career-obsessed and lives on her BlackBerry.

Candace: True, but she's not some ideal from a piece of fiction. Now, her man, on the other hand, is iconic. Mmm. If I went that way, that's what I'd get. A tall, vanilla swagger latte. I like, I like, I like.

[on the phone]

Charlie: Candice, I killed Aunt Helen, didn't I? She died getting my birthday present, so I guess I killed her, right? I tried to stop thinking that, but I can't. She keeps driving away and dying and I can't stop her. Am I crazy, Candace?

[Candace motions to one of her friends]

Candace: Call the police and send them to my house!

[back to the phone]

Candace: No, Charlie, listen to me. Mom and Dad are going to be home with Chris any second.

Charlie: What if I wanted her to die, Candace?

Mickey Wright: You ever had a C-rat?

Candace: Um, no. I don't, I don't usually eat rats.

Mickey Wright: So you don't drink, you don't get high, and you don't eat rats. You're not very much fun, are you?

Mickey Wright: [about war protestors] Don't these people have jobs?

Candace: Well, let's see, go to work, or protest a war? It's not a tough decision.

Mickey Wright: Sure, as long as daddy's paying the bills.

Mickey Wright: [after making love] Someone once told me I'd never forget where I was when they landed on the moon.

Candace: Well? And he was right.

Mickey Wright: I couldn't agree more.

Candace: I'll go to Canada with you, Mickey.

Mickey Wright: No, no. I'm not gonna do that to you. You stay here. You end this war. That's what you signed on for.

Candace: [in her letter] Dear Mickey, Topher just called to tell me you're free. I'm writing this in the cab on the way to the airport, in case I miss you. The truth is, I miss you already. I think I understand now why Juniper never told us about her boyfriend in Vietnam. Because people like me would have given her a hard time. It's funny. I guess I was the one who needed to be enlightened. In our rage to stop this evil war, I think we've forgotten our boys over there aren't the bad guys. They're just trying to survive- guys like Joiner, who risked their lives with every step and guys like Burns, who sacrificed their lives to save their friends. I wish I could have met him so I could thank him for saving you for me. And now you're going back to pick up your radio. Well... I hope you hear this message loud and clear: "In a peeling yellow Victorian on Forest, there's a lucky charm girl waiting for you to come home." Love, Candace.

Candace: Hi Garret, is that a machete in your side or are you just happy to see me?

Candace: Do you even know where we are?

Garrett: Yeah I do, I got the map right here.

[pulls up a string of condoms]

Garrett: oops

[takes up the map]

Garrett: here is the map.

Candace: [worried] Today is 13/13/13.

Jack: I need to go save my daughter!

Candace: [still worried] It's not safe.

[Derek turns around in surprise and grabs Candace by her throat]

Derek: Don't ever fucking sneak up on me.

Candace: Quit fucking around.

[pushes Derek to the ground and proceeds to mount him]

Derek: Candace, I didn't know you cared.

Candace: I don't, I just want to fuck.
