You don't have to live my shitty little life, and until you do, do not tell me to give up the one person who matters to me, okay! Because, I know, he's not perfect, but he's the one person that will show up, on my birthday, and he'll say, "I'm glad you were born!"

An eyelash curler? And what am I going to do with that? Stab myself? Curl my tongue to death?
Gwen Cummings Yeah, I know I drink a lot, I know I do because I'm a writer and that's what I do, I drink. I'm not like those people out there, I can control myself! I can, if - that - if I wanted to, I could, if I wanted. I can! I can!
Gwen Cummings You know, your carpet is filthy. And I only bring that up because carpet grit's responsible for a lot of major health problems. And that's the last thing that you need around here is a major health problem.
Gwen Cummings Um, hey, um, listen, about the um, about that uh, jail thing... I-I-I- I can't. I-I I can't go. Um, uh, well, not because I don't want to go, but, um, it, uh, oh God, my hands, you know, they just keep doing that. That's not normal. I just-- there's something wrong with my hands-- um, well, with me. Cause, uh, what kind of person just jumps out of a- what kind of person jumps out of a window, you know? Because she can't sit still, you know? And be alone and, you know, in a room, without-- You know a person should be able to just be alone, right? You know, human beings should be able to just breathe. I can't breathe. And I feel that I think I know-- I think I know that if I go to jail... like this, you know, I'll die, and, uh, I don't wanna die.

I know what the world's perception is on someone who goes into a bar and realizes five hours later that I've left my three-year-old godson in the back of the car. I mean, people don't like people like that. They don't like-- I don't like people like that.

Gwen That judge totally screwed me!
Hey, good morning!
Gwen This place is horrible. I should have picked that rehab center in the city. People chant.
They do what?
Gwen They chant here. They chant. If they think I'm chanting they've got a whole nother thing coming.
Oh, come on, it could be worse. It could be prison.
Gwen Oh, that's worse?
Well, you know, you never hear of anyone being raped with a plunger in rehab.
Gwen Well, no, you don't hear about it because they cover it up.

Oookay.
Going down?
Gwen Uh-uh.
Gwen I'm not supposed to leave.
You're not supposed to have mommy's little helper in your pocket either.
Gwen You don't honestly think I'm going to jail, do you?
No? For driving drunk, crashing into a house, knocking over a lawn jockey that could have been a four-year-old child?
Gwen Yeah, but it wasn't, it was a four-year-old lawn jockey.
Nothing personal. I just made myself a little promise: no more endin' up naked with some girl I don't even know what her name is.
Gwen That's a noble goal and I wish you the very best of luck with it.
Aunt Helen
You mother has passed on.
Young Gwen
That's okay. Just slap her real hard, and she'll wake up.

Feels better.

Gwen No. I would pay very good money not to hear what she has to say.
Gwen It's a tautology... it is what it is, be cause it is what it is... Like, why is the sky blue, because it reflects off the ocean, well why is the ocean blue, because it reflects off the sky.

Gwen as Darien Oh Falcon, I'm so afraid. When they find I've taken you out of the hospital, mother and Dr. Griffin Hartley are sure to come here. What will we do?
Gwen [Whispering]
--with you.
It I can't be with you, I would rather be dead.
[They kiss passionately. Gerhardt pushes her away]
Oh, but dear God, the tiny clusters of tumors in my brain!
Gwen as Darien Oh God, the tiny little clusters of tumors in his brain, somebody help! Oh, God!
Bobbie Jean as Deirdre
Falcon, Darien, your lover, is also your sister!
Gwen [Whispering]
It is not possible.
It is not possible!
Oliver as Dr. Griffin
Deirdre, darling, I have some bad news. Your daughter, Darien, Falcon's lover and sister is also carrying my baby.
Bobbie Jean as Deirdre
No!
Well, I'll leave you guys to it then.
Well I don't know about that. I mean, let's think this through. I mean, the way I see it, Gwennie, we've got two options here. Scenario number one, we let Eddie from Oklahoma head back to the showers and wash off all that very manly sweat, and you and I can bullshit our way through the afternoon. Or, scenario number two, we can all acknowledge the awkward situation in which we find ourselves!"
Gwen I have no idea what you're talking about.
Well that's a clear vote for scenario number one. How about you, Eddie from Oklahoma? Care to weigh in? Abstaining? Interesting. Well, I guess that leaves only me in favor of calling a spade a spade and saying, "Pardon me, sir, but I'd prefer it if you wouldn't sleep with my fianc?."
Gwen Jasper!
You got the wrong idea, here, pal.
Don't call me pal. I mean, I'm not your pal. And don't treat me like an idiot, do me that one courtesy, please, cause I'm not that either. In fact, I've got more brain cells than your entire redneck family, all put together!
Gwen Jasper don't be a jerk.
Gwen, don't be a slut.
Gwen Andrea, does the phrase in confidence mean anything to you?
You never said not to tell.
