Megalyn Echikunwoke credited as playing...
- Rose: Humility comes from within. If it's not there in the first place, where do you go to get it? I stopped looking a long time ago.
- Rose: Priss is a rat. A bitch. A rat bitch!
- Heather: Could Frank be dyslexic?
- Rose: No, dyslexics are intelligent.
- Violet: I took the commuter train to Villa Franka and I checked into a cheap motel there.
- Rose: The Motel Six?
- Violet: No, the Motel 4. It's even less expensive.
- Rose: The Motel 4, in Villa Franka? My god, you really were suicidal.
- Violet: We get a lot of students coming to the center pretending to be depressed to get the donuts.
- Rose: Confidence tricksters!
- Violet: Yes, it's really bad, really cynical. And we made a pledge the donut company that we would only give the donuts to students who were depressed, suicidal or otherwise nutty. We're a non-profit, so the rules are pretty strict.
- Rose: What you are describing is a "playboy" or "operator" move.
- Heather: [to Lily] Speaking of suicide prevention, do you have a boyfriend, Lily?
- Rose: Are you dating anyone?
- Lily: I don't see the connection.
- Heather: You don't?
- Violet: Boyfriends are a primary suicide risk.
- Rose: Frank's stupid, we knew. That he was a rat playboy operator, I hadn't realized.
- Heather: [about seventh-grade Violet] But you were nice to her?
- Rose: No, not really. The idea of being nice to weird and unpopular kids hadn't arrived yet.
- Rose: [about Roberts Hall] Suicidal Ed. students have been going to the roof and throwing themselves off.
- Violet: But it's only two stories.
- Rose: Yes I know, it's horrible. Not high enough enough to kill, but high enough to maim. And particularly dangerous for the people below.
- Heather: I'm really worried about Thor... It's hard for us to imagine how upsetting it is not knowing what the colors are.
- Rose: In fact it's impossible for me to imagine.
- Heather: When Thor sees a rainbow - it's only so much gibberish to him. There was one this afternoon: Oh my gosh! He took it hard. Recently there was a parade in the city where the marchers carried rainbow- colored flags and banners. Thor was so upset: he said he'd no idea what it meant
- Rose: That's how they
- [governments and non-profits]
- Rose: keep from having profits... by paying lots of money to companies like yours.
- Lily: [about Charlie] I would hate to think what would happen if one of you guys got her claws into him.
- Rose: That's outrageous! We're perfectly nice! We've met lots of pathetic guys, and nothing very bad happened.
- Rose: Call the cops, a suicide might be in progress!
- Heather: You mean the *campus* cops?
- Violet: Rose has a very sensitive nose. Have you heard of "nasal shock syndrome?" Any harsh, acrid, or just "disgusting" odor sends Rose into nasal shock
- Rose: This wasn't true nasal shock. Had it been, I'd've lost consciousness entirely.
- Lily: Just from some b.o.?
- Violet: "Just some b.o .?" Omigod, Lily, you must have a very high threshold for pain! That'll serve you well here at Seven Oaks!
- Violet: I'm not convinced that having a "Suicide Prevention Center" prevents any suicides.
- Rose: Well, the coffee's good.
- Lily: If someone were really determined to destroy themselves, I don't think they'd stop for coffee.
- Heather: I suppose it depends on what it tastes like.
- Violet: We've gotta keep in mind that these guys are young people. They're essentially immature and... crying out for help and guidance.
- Rose: Though they don't know it.
- Heather: No, they don't, but we do.
- Lily: Um, but aren't they the same age as we are?
- Rose: Only numerically.
- Violet: I know that people can have useful careers in many areas - medicine, government, law, finance...
- Rose: Education.
- Violet: Yes, even education. But I'd like to do something especially significant in my lifetime, the sort of thing that could change the course of human history, such as starting a new dance craze.
