Minnie: I always thought I wanted to be exactly like my mom. But she thinks she needs a man to be happy. I don't.
-
Minnie: So, maybe nobody loves me. Maybe nobody will ever love me. But maybe it's not about being loved by somebody else.

Minnie: What's the point of living if nobody loves you. Nobody sees you. Nobody touches you.

Minnie: It feels like there are little weights hanging from my heart that swing and tug every time I move, every time the wind blows.

Minnie: Don't laugh at me!
[playfully hitting him]
Monroe: Or what?
[laughing with her]
Minnie: OR I'M GONNA TELL MY MOTHER!
Monroe: [pauses, stunned] Get dressed.
Minnie: What? You can't take it?
Monroe: [trying to contain his anger] Get *dressed*.
Minnie: No!
Monroe: [exploding] YOU RUINED IT, MINNIE! YOU'RE A FUCKING CHILD! I SHOULD TELL YOUR MOTHER! YOU WANT THAT? YOU'RE MANIPULATING ME! WELL I'M NOT HAVING IT!

Kimmie: [voice] Alright, tell me.
Minnie: [whispering excitedly] I can't tell you; you have to guess.
Kimmie: [voice] You fucked somebody!
Minnie: [surprised, giggling] What? How did you know?
Kimmie: [on the other end of the line, curling her hair in front of the mirror, smiling] I'm so happy. Who was it?
Minnie: [whispering loudly] Guess! Gretel is listening.
Gretel: [from outside the bathroom door] I am not! You're so full of yourself!
