    Jim: I'm really bett...

    Danielle: No judgment.

    Jim: Wait a second, you were trying?

    Stifler: Fuck, no!

    Jim: You WERE trying!

    Stifler: YOU were trying! Oh no I kissed Jim!

  • Jim: That counted.

    Stifler: That totally counted.

    Danielle: That's the way to kiss your mother.

    Stifler: [to Finch] DON'T YOU SAY ANYTHING.

  • [Stifler's brother shows off two girls he picked up]

    Stifler: Brilliant. You found Lesbians.

    [scoffs]

    Stifler: Good luck trying to break through that force field.

    Danielle: Lesbians?

    Amber: We never said that.

    Stifler: What?

    Amber: We never said that.

    Stifler: Oh... Oh, man. I will do anything... ANYTHING to sleep with you, chicks, okay? I'll grab every guy's ass in this room. I'll caress it even. I'll even shave some ass if they need it!

    [sounds of revulsion from young men at party]

    Stifler: Oh, yeah! You heard me! I will kiss everybody here! Dudes, chicks, everybody! Because I am comfortable with my sexuality!

  • [over the radio]

    Stifler's brother: Steve the copwatch thing is horse shit. Man this sucks.

    Danielle: Who is it out there?

    Stifler's brother: It's the Stifmeister baby.

    Amber: Is that so?

  • Danielle: [Jim has Amber's dildo while under the bed] Johnny West is missing.

  • Raddimus: Come on, baby. It's nothin' like that.

    Danielle: It's true. You just treat me like a piece of meat.

    Raddimus: Not just any piece of meat, baby. A prime rib.

  • Danielle: [indicating Maurice] I wish to address the issue of this gentleman. He is my servant, and I am here to pay the debt against him.

    Cargomaster: You're too late, he's bought and paid for.

    Danielle: I can pay you twenty gold francs.

    Cargomaster: Madame, you can have me for twenty gold francs. Now drive on!

    Danielle: I demand you release him at once, or I shall take this matter to the King!

    Cargomaster: The King's the one who sold him. He's now the property of Cartier.

    Danielle: He is not property at *all*, you ill-mannered tub of guts! Do you honestly think it right to chain people like chattel? I demand you release him at once!

    Cargomaster: [shouts] Get outta my way!

    Henry: [riding up] You dare raise your voice to a lady, sir?

    Cargomaster: [flustered] Your Highness! F-forgive me, Sire. I meant no disrespect. It's just, uh... I'm following orders here. It's my job to take these criminals and thieves to the coast.

    Danielle: A servant is not a thief, your Highness, and those who are cannot help themselves.

    Henry: Really! Well then by all means, enlighten us.

    Danielle: If you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners corrupted from infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded, sire, but that you first make thieves and then punish them?

    [pause, the other courtiers look on approvingly]

    Henry: Well, there you have it. Release him.

    Cargomaster: But Sire...!

    Henry: I said, release him!

    Cargomaster: Yes, Sire.

    [Maurice is released]

    Maurice: [to Danielle] I thought I was looking at your mother!

    Danielle: [sotto voce] Meet me at the bridge.

    [aloud]

    Danielle: Prepare the horses, we will leave at once.

    [to Henry]

    Danielle: I thank you, your Highness.

  • Danielle: It is not fair, sire. You have found my weakness, but I have yet to learn yours.

    Henry: But I should think it was quite obvious.

  • Henry: How do you do it?

    Danielle: What?

    Henry: Live each day with this kind of passion. Don't you find it exhausting?

    Danielle: Only when I am around you. Why do you like to irritate me so?

    Henry: Why do you rise to the occasion?

  • Queen Marie: Baroness de Ghent, you are forthwith stripped of your title, and you and your horrible daughter are to be shipped to the Americas on the first available boat... Unless by some miracle, someone here will speak for you.

    [Rodmilla begins looking desperately at the other nobles, they look back coldly]

    Rodmilla: [nervously] There seem to be quite a few people out of town...

    Danielle: I will speak for her.

    [Rodmilla turns around and sees Danielle dressed like a princess while the others bow]

    Danielle: She is, after all, my stepmother.

    Rodmilla: [kneels; quietly] Your Highness.

    Henry: Marguerite, I don't believe you've met... my wife.

    Danielle: [to Rodmilla, smiling] I want you to know that I will forget you after this moment, and never think of you again. But you, I am quite certain, will think about me every single day for the rest of your life.

    Rodmilla: [quietly] And how long might that be?

    Danielle: [looks up] All I ask, Your Majesties... is that you show her the same courtesy that she has bestowed upon me.

  • [last lines]

    Danielle: You, sir, are supposed to be charming.

    Henry: And we, princess, are supposed to live happily ever after.

    Danielle: Says who?

    Henry: You know, I don't know.

    Grand Dame: [voiceover] My great-great-grandmother's portrait hung in the university up until the Revolution. By then, the truth of their romance had been reduced to a simple fairy tale. And, while Cinderella and her prince *did* live happily ever after, the point, gentlemen, is that they lived.

  • Rodmilla: You are not my problem anymore.

    Danielle: Is that what I am, your problem? I have done everything you've asked me to do and still you deny me the only thing I ever wanted!

    Rodmilla: And what was that?

    Danielle: What do you think? You are the only mother I have ever known. Was there ever a time, even in its smallest measurement, that you loved me at all?

    Rodmilla: How can anyone love a pebble in their shoe?

  • Danielle: Forgive me, Your Highness, I did not see you.

    Henry: Your aim would suggest otherwise.

  • Danielle: A bird may love a fish, signore, but where will they live?

    Leonardo da Vinci: Then I shall have to make you wings.

  • Gypsy Leader: M'lady, you may have anything you can carry.

    Danielle: [glances at the Prince] May I have your word on that, sir?

    Gypsy Leader: [considers for a moment] On my honor as a gypsy, whatever you can carry.

    [Danielle lifts the Prince over her shoulders and begins to walk off with him. The gypsies laugh]

    Gypsy Leader: [laughing] Wait! Please! Come back! I'll give you a horse!

  • [outside Pierre Le Pieu's castle]

    Henry: Hello.

    Danielle: Hello.

    [pause]

    Danielle: What are you doing here?

    Henry: [sheepishly] I uh... I came to... rescue you.

    Danielle: Rescue me? A commoner?

    [starts to walk away]

    Henry: [going after her] Actually, I came to beg your forgiveness. I offered you the world and at the first test of honor, I betrayed your trust. Please, Danielle...

    Danielle: [stops, turns around] Say it again.

    Henry: I'm sorry.

    Danielle: No.

    [smiles]

    Danielle: The part where you said my name.

    Henry: [smiling] Danielle.

  • [looking at the books in the Franciscan monastery]

    Danielle: It makes me want to cry.

    Henry: Pick one.

    Danielle: I could no sooner choose a favorite star in the heavens.

    Henry: What is it that touches you so?

    Danielle: I suppose it is because when I was young my father would stay up late and read to me. He was addicted to the written word and I would fall asleep listening to the sound of his voice.

    Henry: What sort of books?

    Danielle: Science, philosophy... I suppose they remind me of him. He died when I was eight. Utopia was the last book he brought home.

    Henry: Which explains why you quote it.

    Danielle: I would rather hear his voice again than any sound in the world.

    [Henry smiles, then the smile fades and he begins walking down the stairs away from Danielle]

    Danielle: Is something wrong?

    Henry: [turns to face her] In all my years of study, not one tutor ever demonstrated the passion you have shown me in the last two days. You have more conviction in one memory than I have... in my entire being.

    [laughs slightly, walks away, Danielle follows]

    Danielle: Your Highness, if there is anything I have said or done...

    Henry: Please... don't. It's not you.

  • Henry: You swim alone, climb rocks, rescue servants, is there anything you don't do?

    Danielle: FLY!

  • Danielle: Signore, my name is Danielle de Barbarac, and I am but a servant.

    Leonardo da Vinci: Yes, and I'm the bastard son of a peasant. What does that have to do with anything?

  • Danielle: I would rather die a thousand deaths than see my mother's dress on that spoiled, selfish cow!

  • Danielle: You were born to privilege, and with that comes specific obligations.

    [pauses]

    Danielle: [laughing] I am sorry. My mouth has run away with me again.

    Henry: Oh no, my lady. It is your mouth that has me hypnotized.

  • [Jacqueline washes Danielle's back where she was whipped; Danielle gasps]

    Jacqueline: [sympathetically] Oh! Now, you really brought this upon yourself, you know. Hmm? First with breakfast, and then that horrid display downstairs.

    Danielle: I don't know what's come over me.

    Jacqueline: [smiles] Of course, I shall never forget the way Marguerite's feet went up over her head like that!

    [they both giggle; then Jacqueline turns somber]

    Jacqueline: She should not have said that about your mother.

    [pause]

    Danielle: Thank you.

  • Henry: [as Danielle hurries away] Have we met?

    Danielle: I-I do not believe so, Your Highness.

    Henry: I could have sworn I knew every courtier in the provience.

    Danielle: Well... I am visiting a cousin.

    Henry: Who?

    Danielle: My cousin.

    Henry: Yes, you said that. Which one?

    Danielle: Th-the only one I have, sire.

    Henry: Are you coy on purpose or do you honestly refuse to tell me your name?

    Danielle: [stops quickly] No.

    [quickly heads towards the gate]

    Danielle: And yes.

    Henry: Well, then, pray tell me your cousin's name so that I might call upon her to learn who you are. For anyone who can quote Thomas More is well worth the effort.

    Danielle: [stops] The Prince has read "Utopia"?

    Henry: I found it sentimental and dull. Honestly, the plight of the everyday rustic bores me.

    Danielle: I... take it you do not converse with many peasants.

    Henry: Ha, certainly not, no. Naturally.

    Danielle: [starts walking again] Excuse me, sire, but there is nothing "natural" about it. A country's character is defined by its "everyday rustics," as you call them. They are the legs you stand on and that position demands *respect,* not...

    Henry: Am I to understand that you find me... arrogant?

    Danielle: Well, you gave one man back his life, but did you even glance at the others?

    Henry: Please, I beg of you, a name. Any name.

    Danielle: I... I fear the only name to leave you with... is Comtesse Nicole de Lancret.

  • Danielle: What bothers you more, stepmother? That I am common, or that I am competition?

  • Danielle: [to Henry] Why did you have to be so wonderful?

  • [about Danielle, who is hiding behind a haystack]

    Henry: You know her! Please, I must find her. Where is she staying?

    Gustav: Uh, I believe, your Highness, that she is staying with a cousin. The, uh, Baroness Rodmilla de Ghent.

    Henry: Hm. That does present a problem.

    Gustav: But, I do know that she is there. Alone. By herself. At this very moment.

    Henry: Excellent.

    [pause]

    Henry: Nice painting.

    [Henry rides off]

    Danielle: [emerging from hiding] Gustav, you horrible little *snipe*!

    Gustav: Did you hear? He likes my work!

    Danielle: And he is heading for my house!

    Gustav: Then I suggest you run.

  • Henry: I was hoping you could help me find the owner of this rather remarkable shoe.

    Danielle: It belongs to a peasant, Your Highness, who only pretended to be a courtier to save a man's life.

    Henry: I know. And the name is Henry, if you don't mind.

  • Henry: Am I to understand that you find me... arrogant?

    Danielle: Well, you gave one man back his life but did you even glance at the others?

  • Danielle: Well you gave one man back his life but did you even glance at the others?

    [Danielle tries to get away while Henry is distracted by the criminals' wagon]

    Henry: Please, I beg of you. A name. Any name.

    Danielle: I fear that the only name I can leave you with is Comtesse Nicole de Lancret.

    Henry: There now... that wasn't so hard.

  • Gustav: [as Danielle is about to change into a dress] Have you lost your marbles? Do you know what the punishment is... for servants who dress above their station? Five days in the stocks.

    Danielle: You'd do the same for me, admit it.

    Gustav: Me? Pretend to be a courtier? Prancing round like some nobleman when I've never been to court. And neither have you!

    Danielle: Then I won't recongnised. Hand me that gown so I can be on my way.

    [Gustav hands Danielle the gown]

    Gustav: They'll never buy it. You are too sweet.

    Danielle: And they'll never buy a servant with twenty gold francs either. I am Maurice's only hope.

    Gustav: And the Baroness, what did you tell her?

    Danielle: I am picking wildflowers. Gustav, can you still see her?

    Gustav: [he gazes out the window] They're buying a brooch.

    Danielle: Unbelievable. She ignores the manor, blames us for her debt... and still pretends to have money to burn. Don't you dare laugh. I'm coming out.

    [she steps out and looks stunning in her dress, Gustav is amazed]

    Danielle: The shoes are too big.

    Gustav: Nobody will be looking at your feet.

    Danielle: Yards of fabric and I still feel naked.

    Gustav: If you're going to be a noblewoman... you must play the part.

    [he raises Danielle's chin]

    Gustav: You look down to no-one.

    Danielle: I am just a servant in a nice dress.

    Gustav: Come.

    [he takes Danielle's hand]

    Gustav: We have to do something with that hair.

  • Danielle: Just breathe...

  • [threatening Pierre le Pieu to back off, holding a sword and dagger dangerously close to him]

    Danielle: My father was an excellent swordsman, monsieur. He taught me well. Now hand me that key or I swear on his grave I will slit you from navel to nose.

  • Henry: Where are your attendants?

    Danielle: I... decided to give them the day off.

    Henry: [incredulously] A day off? From what, life?

    Danielle: Don't you ever tire of having people wait on you all the time?

    Henry: Well, yes, but... they're servants, it's what they do.

    Danielle: [coldly] Well I wish I could dismiss mine as easily as you do yours.

    [she rises]

    Danielle: I must be going.

    Henry: [following her] You're angry with me!

    Danielle: No.

    Henry: Admit it!

    Danielle: Well yes, if you want to know.

    Henry: Why?

    Danielle: Because you are trying to bait me with your snobbery.

    Henry: I fear, mademoiselle, that you are a walking contradiction, and I find that rather fascinating.

    Danielle: Me?

    Henry: Yes, you. You spout the ideals of a Utopian society and yet you live the life of a courtier!

    Danielle: And *you* own all the land there is and yet you take no pride in working it! Is that not also a contradiction?

    Henry: Hm, first I am arrogant, and now I have no pride; however do I manage that?

    Danielle: You have *everything*, and still the world holds no joy; and yet you insist on making fun of those who *would* see it for its possibilities.

  • Danielle: A bird may love a fish, Signore, but where would they live?

    Leonardo da Vinci: Then I shall just have to build you wings!

  • Pierre Le Pieu: I may be twice your age, child, but I'm well endowed.

    [Danielle turns away to another basket]

    Pierre Le Pieu: As evidenced by my estate, I've always had a soft spot for the less fortunate. You need a wealthy benefactor - and I need a young lady with spirit.

    Danielle: [looks up and smiles] Prunes?

  • Danielle: These are my mother's!

    Marguerite: Yes, and she's dead.

  • Danielle: [about the prince] Honestly, I think he and Marguerite deserve each other.

    Paulette: Oh, bite your tongue! The only throne I want her sitting on is the one I have to clean everyday.

  • Danielle: He is heading towards my house.

    Gustav: Then I suggest you run.

  • Henry: Please, Danielle...

    Danielle: Say it again.

    Henry: I'm sorry.

    Danielle: No, the part where you said my name.

  • Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: Where did you put the gown, Danielle?

    Danielle: [raising her voice] Where are the candlesticks, and the tapestries, and the silver? Perhaps the dress is with them!

  • Henry: Nicole, do you know the ruins at Amboise?

    Danielle: Yes.

    Henry: I often go there to be alone. Would you meet me there tomorrow?

    Danielle: I shall try.

    Henry: Then I shall wait all day.

  • Danielle: The prince has read Utopia?

    Henry: I found it sentimental and dull. Honestly, the plight of the everyday rustic bores me.

  • Gustav: And I suppose if you saw him again, you'd simply...

    Danielle: I would walk right up to him and say, 'Your Highness, my family is your family, please take them away!'

    Gustav: Good! Because here's your big chance, he's headed this way.

  • Danielle: I don't even know what to call you.

    Dizzy/Gil: Broke-dick seems to be popular.

  • Danielle: Carmen: more cheer, less pole dance, 'kay? You don't want guys stuffing bills down your panties.

    Carmen: What panties?

  • Connor: You are not going over there.

    Danielle: Well I wasn't. Now I am. Later.

    Pete: Hey man, she just dissed you.

    Connor: Dude! Shut up!

  • Connor: What was that about?

    Danielle: Asking the new guy a favor.

    Connor: And what could you possibly need from him?

    Danielle: Just things I'm not getting elsewhere...

  • Connor: Oh, what? You're impressed because this guy showed up on a horse?

    Danielle: No, I'm impressed because he showed up for me.

    [to Dizzy]

    Danielle: Let's go.

    Pete: She just dissed you again.

    Connor: Dude, do you *ever* shut up?

  • Connor: I think I oughta go over there and kick his ass.

    Danielle: That's great, because I've always dreamed of dating the expelled guy.

    Courtney: Expelled guys rock!

  • Danielle: [scoffs] I have done guest spots on Bugs Bunny and The Jetsons and I have never been treated like this. I am so *out* of here.

  • Danielle: I'm glad your back.

    Clarke: I don't know, I kind of miss that place

    Danielle: Shut up!

    Clarke: A school with no girls, I was *very* popular.

    Danielle: [Smiling] You fucking whore! Remember, "nobody likes a dirty girl"!

  • Danielle: [Writing as Joan, the sack of flour] Dear diary, daddy had to leave as daddy's sometimes do, he left so the dreams of our families could come true, but mommy will soldier on, cause that's what mommy's do.

  • [first lines]

    Danielle: I've heard it said that this here... this here's a man's world. And some girls, they believe it. Primpin' and fussin' and holdin' out, hoping a boy will look her way. They don't know they got the power. As for me... I'm not that kind of girl. I'm on top. Which begs the question... if the girl's on top, well... who's the one getting screwed?... So if it's a man's world, God wouldn't have made me.

  • Ray: After your mother and I are married, I'm going to adopt you.

    Danielle: The *hell* you are!

  • Danielle: Sometimes you got to accept what life throws at you to find out what you're made of.

  • Danielle: [about naming their sack of flour] I'm thinking "Joan", like Joan Jett.

    Clarke: Or Crawford. That's nice.

    Danielle: Is there some sort of special gene that makes you say "Crawford" when I say "Joan"?

  • [from trailer]

    Danielle: I've heard it said, this here's a man's world. And some girls believe it - primping and fussing and hoping a boy will look her way. If it's a man's world, God wouldn't have made *me*.

  • Mr. Potter: [to class] The only safe sex is *no* sex. Unless you stay busy, get some hobbies, and practice abstinence, you could end up asking, "Was the momentary thrill really worth it?" What are some healthy alternatives? Tonya?

    Tonya: You could have a pizza party!

    Mr. Potter: Right on. Who doesn't love pizza? Anyone else?

    Danielle: [Puts up hand] What are your thoughts on the pull-out method?

  • Danielle: Mister, you don't know who you're dealing with!

  • Ray: We don't want you cast into outer darkness.

    Danielle: How's that different from any other day?

  • Danielle: What do you want?

    Clarke: Uh, we're partners.

    Danielle: No offense, but my designated is, as of this morning, no longer designated.

    Clarke: I don't know what that means.

    Danielle: It's Danielle's three D's of dating: Discriminate, designate, and dump, and since the unfortunate dumping of Brad, due to his lack of sanitary respect, Im on to the next. And quite frankly, as a dick smoker, you don't qualify.

    [Walks away]

    Clarke: ...But we're married.

  • Danielle: Nobody wants one of your sad, instant cookies, Sue-Ann!

    Sue-Ann: You said you liked these.

    Danielle: I said I liked the dough.

  • Principal Mulray: Your classmates are impressionable, Miss Edmonston. Your ears might be used to that kind of talk, but most of these kids come from good families. You have any positive males in your life? A pastor or a neighbor or an uncle...

    Danielle: It's none of your business.

    Principal Mulray: You're an exasperating girl, Miss Edmonston. According to Mr. Potter, you spoke quite explicitly about male projectile.

    Danielle: It's a sex education class.

    Principal Mulray: Lifestyle choices.

  • Danielle: What are you doing?

    Clarke: Nothing.

    Danielle: You're hitting on me, and I do not appreciate it.

    Clarke: I have discriminated, and I have designated.

    Danielle: What the fuck? I thought you were a faggot.

    Clarke: Only 65 percent.

    Danielle: Huh?

    Clarke: My therapist showed me this chart. It says that I'm 35 percent hetero. And if I can get that up to 60 percent, my parents won't send me to military school.

  • Principal Mulray: I'm putting you in Challengers.

    Danielle: Special Ed?

    Principal Mulray: Challengers.

    Danielle: That's for retards.

    Principal Mulray: It's either that or expulsion. Miss Pierce will give you your new schedule.

    Danielle: What is there to know? It's one room in the basement, all the time.

  • Bobby: You're that girl, ain't you?

    Danielle: Yep, I'm that girl.

    Bobby: You know what I heard about you?

    Danielle: Don't believe everything you hear. Unless it's really good. Then it's true.

  • Danielle: Meet Joan. So named for the irrepressible lead singer of the Blackhearts.

    Clarke: And the alcoholic, child-abusing movie star.

  • Clarke: If you spill that, my dad'll kill me.

    Danielle: Baby... you came out of the closet, stole his car and took off with the class whore. You're the definition of dead.

  • Danielle: [about the sack of flour "Joan"] You've gotta be more careful with her. How would you like to be dropped on your head?

    Clarke: I have been dropped on my head. Daddy says Mama dropped me, and that's what accounts for my feminine ways.

    Danielle: You trying to make Joan a lesbian?

  • Danielle: Did you tell your parents where we are? I swear to God, if you did, Clarke, I will pull this car over and kick your ass out!

    Clarke: You are running toward something, Danielle. I am just running away.

    Danielle: Well, ain't that poetic?

    Danielle: My daddy's credit card is financing this little adventure of yours. You have not even said, "Thank you".

    Danielle: [Slightly taken aback] Some things go without saying.

    Clarke: Then I guess it goes without saying that you are the neatest person that I have ever met! And I am not afraid no more when I'm around you, 'cause you are cooler than I will ever be. And It also goes without saying that I would never tell on you!

    Danielle: [pause] I promise I'll find a way to thank you.

  • Danielle: [as "Joan"] Dear Diary, New Mexico is brown and flat. Mom does most of the driving, because she thinks that Dad goes too slow. Daddy is happy, being a man and all, just navigating. He is a most excellent map reader. With the division of labor so neatly divided and both of them willing to stay in their designated roles, I'm convinced that I have the happiest family there ever was.

  • Danielle: [Writing as Joan, after Clarke invites Joel to ride with them] Dear Diary, it turns out that Daddy is a big, fat whore. I'm a lucky girl that I'm learning such valuable lessons about the true nature of men.

  • Danielle: You dance for tips, right? That's why you got all them singles.

    Joel: It's my art. If people want to give me money for my art, that just makes me a professional artist.

    Danielle: Right, you're a stripper.

    Joel: Erotic entertainer.

    Danielle: Stripper.

  • Joel: My daddy took off when I was little.

    Clarke: Like Dani's.

    Danielle: Mine took off before I was born, so I win.

    Joel: Are we competing?

    Danielle: I'm just saying, I probably had it worse.

    Joel: You know what it's like then, don't you? That crazy thing when you look for him everywhere. Anytime you're in a crowd, there's a chance, so you... walk around a little straighter, hoping to look your best, just in case. Looking everywhere for somebody who don't want to be found.

  • Clarke: They're gay, Dani!

    Danielle: What?

    Clarke: They're gay.

    Danielle: ...But they're so ugly.

  • Danielle: [Writing as Joan, the sack of flour] Dear Diary, I am super excited about our family vacation. I'm only a week old and already I'm seeing all the great sights of this great land. It is said that most American families don't spend enough quality time together. My family is different.

  • Danielle: [Writing as Joan, the sack of flour] Dear Diary, this world is full of dipshits. But guess what? Mommy got a fairy-tale ending. Because Daddy? Daddy came back.

  • Danielle: Mama, I want a baby.

    Antonia: How about a husband to go with it?

    Danielle: No.

  • Sales Girl: [ringing up Danielle's skimpy underwear] Do you need socks or a belt with this?

    Danielle: It's underwear, bitch.

  • Tiffany: Why are we volunteering at this place?

    Danielle: Because it looks good for our community service project, and so that Drew will like me. When I get what I want, I'm happy. And when I'm happy, I'm not a bitch.

  • Danielle: If you hold on to the past, you die a little each day...

  • [last lines]

    Danielle: [voiceover] We never spoke about what happened, at least not to each other. Fear, I suppose, that to remember his name and what he did would mean letting him into our dreams. And me, I hardly dream about him anymore. Still, things won't ever be the way they were before he came. But that's alright because if you hang onto the past you die a little every day. And for myself, I know I'd rather live.

    [whispers]

    Danielle: The end.

  • [first lines]

    Danielle: My reminiscence. I always thought that for such a lovely river the name is mystifying: "Cape Fear". When the only thing to fear on those enchanted summer nights was that the magic would end and real life would come crashing in.

  • Sam Bowden: He says we're fugitives!

    Danielle: What does that mean?

    Sam Bowden: That means we're doing something right!

  • Danielle: I thought you were the unusual type, but I can see that I was wrong.

  • [the girls set up the dead corpses around the fire]

    Laurie: I'm nervous.

    Danielle: [combs the front of her hair] Hey. You're gonna be fine. Just be yourself.

    Laurie: It's my first time so... just bear with me.

    [the girls begin to dance, snarl, and hiss]

    Steven: What are you doing?

    [the girls' skin begins to rip, peel, with growls, as Steven begins to scream]

    Laurie: My, my what big eyes you have.

    [Laurie throws her back up and then strikes down to bite Steven's neck as he screams with horror]

  • [the girls talking behind the dressing room doors before walking out as Disney princesses]

    Laurie: I am not wearing this. It's too small. And my tits keep popping out.

    Danielle: That's the idea.

    Laurie: I don't know why we drove out here when there are perfectly good guys in the city.

    Janet: Fresh meat.

    Maria: It's what we do every Halloween, Laurie.

    Laurie: Whatever happened to Trick or Treating?

    Maria: Puberty.

    Janet: Last year we were in Tampa.

    Maria: And we went as sexy nurses.

    Danielle: No Janet, Tampa was two years ago, I remember because you puked doing a guy in his pickup truck.

    Janet: I ate some bad Mexican, and it was a jeep.

    Danielle: Last year was San Diego. We dressed as sailors and ended up with sailors.

    Janet: Yeah, and Maria's sailor was a girl.

    Maria: So what, she had a nice ass, it all tastes the same to me anyway.

  • [Danielle is hit on by the costume shop clerk and invites him to the party]

    Clerk: [counting the total cost] Two thirty-three, 30-D. I mean, $234,33.

    [laughs]

    Clerk: Thanks.

    Danielle: [smiles] You know, this might sound kind of forward, but, uh, we're just in town for a party tonight, and I was wondering what time you get off work.

    Clerk: Oh. Uh, in about 20 minutes, actually

    Danielle: Yeah? You know where Sheep's Meadow is?

    Danielle: Sure, yeah, of course.

    Danielle: All right. So why don't you meet me there in 45?

    Clerk: Okay, I guess.

    Clerk: Don't forget your costume.

    [smiles]
