Angela Hayes quotes from American Beauty (1999)

Angela Hayes

I don't believe him. I mean, he didn't even like, look at me once!

Angela Hayes

It's that psycho next door. Jane, what if he worships you? What if he's got a shrine with pictures of you surrounded by dead people's heads and stuff?

Angela Hayes

You total slut, you have a crush on him. You're defending him, you love him, you wanna have, like, ten thousand of his babies.

Angela Hayes

If people I don't even know look at me and want to **** me, it means I really have a shot at being a model.

Angela Hayes

I was hoping you'd give me a bath. I'm very, very dirty.

Angela Hayes

I am so sick of people taking their insecurities out on me.

Angela Hayes

I still want to do it! I just...thought you should know in case you wondered why I wasn't...you know...better.

Jane

Could he be any more pathetic?

Angela

I think it's sweet. And I think he and your mother have not had sex in a long time.

Angela

I'm serious. He just pulled down his pants and yanked it out. You know, like, "Say hello to Mr. Happy."

Playground Girl #1

Gross.

Angela

It wasn't gross. It was kinda cool.

Playground Girl #1

So did you do it with him?

Angela

Of course I did. He's like a really well known photographer. He shoots for "Elle" on like a regular basis. It would have been so majorly stupid of me to turn him down.

You are a total prostitute.

Angela

Hey! That's how things really are. You just don't know 'cause you're this pampered little suburban chick.
Playground Girl #2: So are you. You've only been in 'Seventeen' once and you looked fat! So stop acting like you're goddamn Christy Turlington!

Angela

****! I am so sick of people taking their insecurities out on me.

Angela

Yeah? Well at least I'm not ugly!

Ricky

Yes you are. And you're boring. And totally ordinary...and you know it.

Ricky

I was filming this dead bird.

Angela

Why?

Ricky

Because it's beautiful.

Angela

So, you're **** psycho-boy on a regular basis now? Tell me, has he got a big dick?

Jane

It's not like that.

Angela

What, hasn't he got one?

Jane

I'm not going to talk about his dick with you, OK?

Jane

I don't think we can be friends anymore.

Angela

You're way too uptight about sex.

Jane

Just don't **** my dad, all right? Please?

Angela

Why not?

Angela

Jane, he's a freak!

Jane

Then so am I! And we'll always be freaks and we'll never be like other people and you'll never be a freak because you're just too... perfect!

Angela

What do you want?

Lester

Are you kidding? I want you.

Lester

How's Jane?

Angela

What do you mean?

Lester

I mean, how's her life? Is she happy? Is she miserable? I'd really like to know, and she'd die before she'd ever tell me about it.

Angela

She's... she's really happy. She thinks she's in love.

Lester

Good for her.

Angela

How are you?

Lester

God, it's been a long time since anybody asked me that... I'm great.

Angela

I've gotta go to the bathroom.

Lester

I'm great.

Angela

Jane and I had a fight. It was about you. She's mad at me because I said I think you're sexy.

Lester

So, you gonna tell me? What do you want?

Angela

I don't know...What do you want?

Lester

Are you kidding? I want you. I've wanted you ever since the first moment I saw you. You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Angela

You don't think I'm ordinary?

Lester

You couldn't be ordinary if you tried.

Angela

Thank you. I don't think there's anything worse than being ordinary. [Opens her blouse, exposing her breasts, and lies back beneath Lester] This is my first time.

Lester

You're kidding.S

Angela

I'm sorry. I still want to do it. I just...thought I should tell you, in case you wondered why I wasn't...better. [Lester stops] What's wrong? I thought you said I was beautiful.

Lester

You are beautiful. You are so beautiful - and I would be a very lucky man.

Angela

I feel so stupid!

Lester

Don't...You have nothing to be sorry about...It's okay, everything's okay.
