Episode Quotes

Angela: I can't believe I came here. Why did you ask me to come here? (Jordan stares at her.) Why are you like this?
Jordan: Like what?
Angela: Like how you are?

Angela: (VO) There's something about Sunday night that really makes you want to kill yourself, especially if you've just been totally made a fool of, by the only person you'll ever love, and you have a geometry midterm on Monday, which you still haven't studied for, because you can't, because Brian Krakow has your textbook, and you're too embarrassed to even deal with it. And your little sister's completely finished with her homework, which is just...like, so simple and mindless a child could do it.
Danielle: Mom, Dad, I finished my report on crustaceans.
Angela: (VO) And that creepy 60 Minutes watch that sounds like your whole life ticking away.
Patty: Daddy's at his cooking class, honey. Ah. Oh. Look, Angela, did you see the wonderful report that Danielle did?
Angela: Mm-hm.
