Turning Red quotes
Page 5 of 7How could she? [growls as her sadness turns to fury] How could she do this to… her own… mother?! [her talisman pendant necklace breaks, releasing her red panda spirit as it merges into her body; everyone steps back in horror as she rises in mid-air with her eyes glowing red] MEI-MEI!!!
I can't be like this forever. My whole family would freak. Especially my mom. All her hopes and dreams are pinned on me.
I hate this! I'm slobby, I'm smelly! My mom won't even look at me, and now 4*Town? When are they coming? (Abby: May 18th. They just announced it.) The 18th?! There's no way this will be gone by then! Just go...go become women without me! (Miriam: Mei, it's gonna be okay.) No, it's...it's not! I'm...I'm a freak! Just… [sighs] Just leave me alone.
I know how hard it is to keep the beast in. It feels so good to let it out. So free. But each time you do, the stronger it gets. And then you'll be bound to it forever, and the ritual will fail.

I'm a gross red monster! [sobs] Stop it! STOP TALKING!
I'm changing, Mom. I'm finally figuring out who I am, but… I'm scared it'll take me away from you.
I'm keeping it.
I'm Meilin Lee, and ever since I turned 13, life's been a lot. People still talk about Pandapocalypse 2002. Mom and I just call it... growing pains.
It's one thing to stay calm at home or school. But a concert? You'll get whipped up into a frenzy and panda all over the place.
Jesse went to art school. Tae Young fosters injured doves. Robaire speaks French. And Aaron T. and Aaron Z. are, like, really talented too. We are 4*Townies, remember? Ride or die!
Just one last time. Hey, Tyler! You want the panda? You're getting the panda! Let's hear it for the birthday boy!
LET'S BURN THIS PLACE TO THE GROUND!
