Tina Barr Quotes in Riding in Cars with Boys (2001)

Tina Barr: Are we invited to this party?

Beverly: They're Fay's friends.

Fay: They're not. My parents are friends with their parents.

Beverly: What's important is that Sky Barrister will be there.

Fay: Sky has had his hands in everything you've got. And he has a ton of your poems. And does he call you once? No. Bev, you are truly a great person. But someone as conceited as Sky won't see that. Because all he can see is himself. You know I'm right.

Tina Barr: It's true, Bev.

Beverly: [pause]

[she observes Fay's dress]

Beverly: Let me wear that dress.

Fay: What?

Beverly: Fay, if I even look half as beautiful as you in that dresss... Sky will have to notice me. You can wear my dress.

Tina Barr: No.

Fay: [she observes Bev's dress but is reluctant] I... No, Bev. It won't fit.

Beverly: Fay, you gotta let me wear that dress.

Fay: Why?

Beverly: Because I love you.

[Fay ponders]

Beverly: Please, please, please.

Fay: All right.
