- Matt Firenze: You are the nosiest, most insensitive, caustic girl I've ever met.
- Cara-Ethyl: [happily] Really?
- Matt Firenze: That's not a compliment.
- Cara-Ethyl: I think I would enjoy being an alcoholic! Very much so. A drinker and a libertine. Never in a relationship, but always in love. At church, they'd call me a whore. But I would fancy myself a spirited individual of grand appetites featuring roast duck, red wine, and well-shaped men.
- Matt Firenze: Coffee for you.
- Cara-Ethyl: I'm perfectly sober!
- [inside her head]
- Cara-Ethyl: Sobriety is for aardvarks, you ass.
- Cara-Ethyl: Matt, maybe this is a good thing.
- Matt Firenze: Can you shut up for once?
- Cara-Ethyl: No, listen. The truth is good. The truth shall set you free.
- Matt Firenze: No. Sometimes the truth shall set you back.
- Cara-Ethyl: Pizza: sustenance of youth, bread of teenage social bonding, and it's very tasty indeed.
