Episode Quotes
 
Joey: The greasy fry, it cannot lie. It's truth is written on your thigh.
 
Quinn: Yeah, I just found out poems don't even have to rhyme. How easy is that?
 
Daria: Only Quinn could turn having brains into a fad.
Jane: You know how fads are. Today it's brains, tomorrow, pierced tongues . . . then the next day, pierced brains.
 
Quinn: So I wrote a stupid essay. What's everyone making such a big deal about?
Jane: Well you know, condition people to expect nothing and the least little something gets them all excited. Ask Pavlov.
Quinn: The custodian?
Jane: Never mind. Return to your world and I'll return to mine.
 
Daria: For your purposes, "existential" means pseudo-intellectual poseur with accessories from the Street Fair.

 
Quinn: [about her outfit] Does this black match?
Daria: Matches my mood.
 
[Daria sees Quinn dressed in all black]
Daria: Did a mime crawl in here and die?
Quinn: I'm putting together an outfit. For your information, this is how deep people dress.
Daria: Yeah, deeply affected people.

 
Daria: Mom, if you're going to reminisce, I'll be forced to call Social Services.

 
Daria: Sometimes your shallowness is so thorough, it's almost like depth.
