Quotes 

• Ms. Claire Defoe : Good work, Daria. Your cube is BURSTING out of the picture plane. You've really created the illusion of depth.

  Daria : I'm thinking of going into politics.

• Brittany : Hey, even though I'm much more popular, we have some things in common.

  Daria : Breathing?

• Party Guy 1 : Hey. Partying hard or hardly partying?

  Daria Morgendorffer : Hardly interested.

  Party Guy 2 : So... where you girls been all our lives?

  Daria Morgendorffer : Waiting here for you. We were born in this room, we grew up in this room, and we thought we would die here... alone. But now you've arrived, and our lives can truly begin.

  Party Guy 2 : [to Guy 1]  She likes you!

• Daria : If you want to go, just make believe you're me. When you're popular, all unpopular people look alike anyway.

  Jane : [Takes Daria's glasses and puts them on]  "Hi. I'm Daria. Go to hell."

  [Takes them off] 

  Jane : It won't work; my face is too expressive.

• [In the cafeteria] 

  Brittany : Thanks for helping me earlier in art. May be there's something I could teach you.

  Daria : Well, you could show me how to twirl hair around my little finger and look vacant.

  [Twirling hair around her finger] 

  Brittany : I don't know if that's something you can teach.

• Jane : Ready to go?

  Daria : I was ready to go before we got here.

• [Daria and Quinn are walking to school] 

  Quinn : Stop following me. You're following me.

  Daria : Quinn, we go to the same school.

• Daria : I've overcome with emotion.

  Brittany : Need a napkin?

• Helen Barksdale Morgendorffer : I think it's great that you two are going to be spending time together. Dad and I would be happy to drive you to the party and pick you up.

  Daria , Quinn : NO!

• [leaving a Party] 

  Quinn : It was kind of... what's that thing, when stuff turns out funny? Moronic?

  Jane : I think you mean ironic.

  Daria : She was right the first time.

• Quinn : Tell Daria she can't go to Brittany's party. My popularity is at stake.

  Helen Barksdale Morgendorffer : Now, don't begrudge your sister a chance to expand her circle of friends.

  Quinn : Maybe now she'll have two.

  Daria : Touché, Quinn.

  Quinn : And don't think you're confusing me with that French! You should ground her! Because... her room is a mess!

  Daria : If I go down for that one, I'm taking you with me.

  Quinn : Wait, here's something worse! I asked her to do my homework for me, and she made me pay!

  [Jake and Helen turn and stare at Quinn] 

  Quinn : ... Nevermind.

• Jeffy : Hey, Quinn, can I carry your books?

  Joey : Hey, Quinn, can I carry your... pencil?

  Jamie White : Hey, Quinn, can I carry your, uh, um... got anything else?

  Quinn : A hair scrunchie?

  Jamie White : Great!

  Daria : Careful. Don't hurt yourself with that scrunchie.

• Daria : [in the living room, Daria leans against the wall as other kids dance]  It's the Soul Train. Beep beep! Get on board!

• Jane : So, have fun?

  Daria : Well, I didn't talk to a whole bunch of new people, I made Quinn want to throw herself down a well, and I'm going home with a bonus sock. All in all, a great night.

• [Daria is going through Jane's sketchbook] 

  Daria : These are really good. I didn't know you studied life drawing.

  Jane : Yeah, last summer.

  Daria : You're really bursting out of the picture plane here.

  Jane : Oh, yeah. That particular model was quite bursty. I think she had her bursts done.
