Lady Bird quotes
Page 1 of 2You're gonna have so much unspecial sex in your life.
Hey. [pause] I like your band. With Jonah Ruiz? L'Enfance Nue?
L'Enfance Nue.
Uh. Well, I saw your Thanksgiving show. My name's Lady Bird.
It's weird you shake hands.
Yeah. [pause] I'm friends with Jenna and she's always talking about how great your band is so I wanted to check it out.
Yeah, Jenna's hella tight.
Maybe I'll see you at the Deuce or something?
Sure, see you at the Deuce.
Hey, I'm not paying you to flirt.
I wish you had been.
Just because something looks ugly doesn't mean that it's morally wrong.
You think dead children aren't morally wrong?
No. I'm just saying that, if you took up close pictures of my vagina while I was on my period, it would be disturbing but it doesn't make it wrong.
Excuse me?
Listen, if your mother had had the abortion, we wouldn't have to sit through this stupid assembly!
Why can't you say I look nice?
I thought you didn't even care what I think.
I still want you to think I look good.
Okay, I'm sorry. I was telling you the truth, do you want me to lie?
No, I mean, I just, I wish that you liked me.
Of course I love you.
But do you like me?
Your mom is crazy, I'm scared of her.
She's not crazy. She just, you know, she has a big heart. She's very warm.
I don't find your mother warm.
You don't?
No. No, she's warm, yeah but she's also kind of scary.
Well you can't be scary and warm.
I think you can, your mom is.
You're gay!
Miss Patty assigned you a role by the way, you just never showed up to claim it.
What role ?
The Tempest.
There is no role of the Tempest!
It is the titular role!
No! It's a made-up thing so we all can participate.
You can't do anything unless you're the center of attention, can you?
Yeah, well you know, your mom's tits, they're fake! Totally fake!
She made one bad decision at 19!
Two bad decisions!
I want you to be the very best version of yourself that you can be.
What if this is the best version?
If you're tired, we can sit down.
I'm not tired.
Oh, okay. I just couldn't tell because you were dragging your feet. [Lady Bird rolls her eyes] Well, I just couldn't tell.
Why didn't you just say "pick up your feet"?
I didn't know if you were tired.
You're being passive aggressive.
No, I wasn't.
You are SO INFURIATING!
Please stop yelling.
I'm not yelling.
Do you love it?
You clearly love Sacramento.
You write about Sacramento so affectionately and with such care.
I was just describing it.
Well it comes across as love.
Sure, I guess I pay attention.
Don't you think maybe they are the same thing? Love and attention?
Different things can be sad... it's not all war!
Hey, I'm like Keith Richards. I'm just happy to be anywhere.
I found when it happened that I really like dry humping more.
I hate California, I want to go to the east coast. I want to go where culture is like, New York, or Connecticut or New Hampshire.
I was on top! Who the **** is on top their first time!
