Gina
- Gina: Attention Rex Manning fans, to your left you will notice a shoplifter being chased by night manager, Lucas. This young man will be caught, deep fried in a vat of hot oil and served to our first hundred customers. Just another tasty treat from the gang at Empire Records.
- Debra: [reading impending doom, the Music Town rules:] No visible tattoos.
- Gina: No revealing clothing.
- Debra: We're both screwed. At least you're used to it.
- Gina: Oh, no, Debra, don't be bitter. Surely with your ever-growing collection of flesh-mutilating silver appendages and your brand-new neo-Nazi boot camp makeover, the boys will come a-runnin'.
- [Debra has just shaved her head]
- Gina: Well, "Sinead O'Rebellion." Shock me, shock me, shock me with that deviant behavior.
- Debra: God, that is so clever. I swear you get smarter the shorter your skirt gets.
- Gina: And you get smarter the shorter your hair gets, so it's probably a good thing you went with that. It's a wonderful look for you, darlin'.
- Gina: Oh now, Debra, don't be bitter, surely with your ever growing collection of flesh mutilating silver appendages and your brand new neo-nazi boot camp makeover the boys will come a-runnin'.
- [wearing nothing but a Music Town apron]
- Gina: I really think Music Town is torn on the revealing garment issue.
- Gina: I don't know it's just something I've always been able to do.
- Rex Manning: Alright. What am I wearing now?
- Gina: Jockeys. Navy blue. Am I right?
- Rex Manning: I don't know.
- Gina: Well, why don't you check it out, and you let me know.
- Gina: Do you think this story is already written? Or do you think a bold and courageous act can change the course of history?
- Gina: You are brave. You're getting out of here. You're always talking about how I do what I wanna do, but I don't.
- [softly:]
- Gina: I don't. Because I wanna sing in a band.. but, um, I don't have the guts to even audition. And I know that if I don't do something, I'm gonna end up like my mother. Her life ended after high school.
- Corey: You're never gonna be like your mother if you don't wanna be like your mother.
- [Gina smiles through tears]
- Corey: You're gonna be fine.
- Debra: [supposed to play dead] That is so sweet. I think I'm gonna barf. Excuse me.
