Harvey Holroyd: [whispering] Sickness.

Kate Linville Holroyd: [whispering] Harvey!

Martha: And now, Bill, I'd like to hear where your head is at.

Bill: Thank you, Martha, for pushing my button.

Stokely: [shakes head in disbelief]

Bill: Thank you for inviting me to participate in your life, for I am an asshole. And being an asshole is neither good nor bad. It just is.

Reverend Spike: I think that says it all.

Dr. Leonard Miller: Well, hey, Stokely, what's happening, babe?

Stokely: Nothing.

Martha: Darling, will you excuse Leonard and I for a minute? We're going to have a private rap which doesn't concern you.

Stokely: Bullshit.

Dr. Leonard Miller: Good! That's cool, Martha. Stokely's a patient, I'm his therapist, he knows why he's here. Why don't we informally dialog about it, then Stokely and I can go inside and rap in a more structured manner.

Martha: Right. This morning I caught Stokely, not in a sense of spying, you know how I feel about violating a child's space.

Dr. Leonard Miller: I hear ya.

Martha: This morning I caught Stokely dealing with the maid as a sex object. Of course, for her own protection, I had to let her go.

Dr. Leonard Miller: You were reaffirming her selfhood, without denying your own power perimeters.

Martha: Exactly.

Dr. Leonard Miller: Good girl. Now as far as Stokely's concerned, it's just a question of putting him in touch with his childhood.

Stokely: I'm only ten years old, you dork!

Dr. Leonard Miller: Well, then we don't have too far to go, do we?

Stokely: Schmuck!

Stokely: In an insane society, the sane man must appear insane.

Harvey Holroyd: Where'd you get that?

Stokely: Star Trek.

[leaves the room]

Harvey Holroyd: [to himself] God, I miss that show.

Harvey Holroyd: Stokely?

Stokely: Yeah?

Harvey Holroyd: What are you doing here?

Stokely: I practically live here.

Harvey Holroyd: Really? Why the plastic turd?

Stokely: It's my homework. He says my mind is not in touch with my body, so I'm supposed to learn my body's beautiful. Starting with shit.

Dr. Leonard Miller: [Enters] Stokely, may man! Ah, you remembered your little turd. Nummy, nummy, nummy. Oh, hi, Harv.

Harvey Holroyd: Leonard, this'll only take a minute.

Dr. Leonard Miller: I'd love to, but you see, it's not my decision, see, this is Stokely's hour.

Stokely: Are you kidding? Take the whole hour!

Dr. Leonard Miller: Beautiful, babe! Kid's learning to share. Thanks, Stoke.

Stokely: Screw you.

Dr. Leonard Miller: Atta boy.

Stokely: I'm not putting that hack drug up my nose - it's so eighties!

Zeke: Aliens are taking over the earth. Weigh it!

Stokely: Is this usually the point where someone says let's get the fuck outta here?

Stan: Let's get the fuck outta here.

Casey: You're not buying this, are you?

Stokely: No, I'm not... but it's kinda cool.

Stokely: I always thought the only alien in this high school was me.

Stokely: What are we going to do with the police not being an option?

Stan: I could call my dad, he'd know what to do.

Casey: If he's really your dad anymore.

Marybeth: I'm new here.

Stokely: No shit.

Stokely: Walk much?

Stan: You ran into me, beast.

Casey: Everyone's been acting really weird, especially the faculty.

Stokely: Tell me about it, it's like they've all turned into fucking pod people or something.

Casey: Into what people?

Stokely: Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Small town gets taken over by aliens... That was a joke.

Stokely: Body Snatchers is a story somebody made up, dingus. It's located in the fiction section of the library.

Casey: Yeah, so is Schindler's List.

Stan: Come on guys, this is nuts.

Delilah: Then leave, Stan. Why are you hanging around? Go win a Pulitzer.

Stan: Blow me, Delilah, 'cause I'm sick of you're shit.

Delilah: Well, then get the fuck out of here and take your little freak dyke with you.

Stokely: Fuck you, tit bags!

Casey: Will everybody calm down, please?

Stokely: So they've just been setting us up over the years with their E.T.'s and their Men In Black movies, just so no one would believe it if it ever happened.

Casey: I think so.

[Stokely kisses Stan]

Stokely: I just don't want to never have done that.

[Stokley bumps into Stan]

Stokely: Get a fucking eye dog!

Stan: Well maybe if you didn't paint your fucking eyes shut!

Stokely: You know, you were right about me. I don't have any friends and I like it that way. Being lesbian is just my security.

Marybeth: Security against what?

Stokely: People like you.

Marybeth: Complex!

Marybeth: What happens at the end of all those stories, Stokely? How does Invasion of the Body Snatchers turn out?

Stokely: They get us. They win. We lose.

Marybeth: Maybe we really win, I mean Stan didn't look unhappy.

Stokely: That's because that wasn't Stan, they took away who he was.

Marybeth: Maybe they just bettered who he was. Cleared away his confusion. I know you pride yourself on being the outsider, but aren't you tired of pretending to be something you're not? I know I am.

Stokely: [to Casey] You know, Casey, I think you've been racked into the flagpole one too many times.

Stokely: [seeing Marybeth turn into a huge alien] No... fucking... way!

Stokely: Crash and burn, Casey.

Delilah: Don't you just love how Stokely accessorize with different shades of black?

Stokely: Fuck you gutter-slut.

Delilah: I don't know why you keep being such a bad example for your people.

Marybeth: What people?

Delilah: I hope you're not a violent lesbian like your new found friend, here?

Marybeth: No, I'm not aware of any lesbianism in my lineage.

Delilah: That's too bad Stokely, guess you have to keep looking for Ms Right.

Stokely: Bipolar bitch.

Stokely: [about Delilah] Should've known that crazy bitch was one of them.
