Quotes 

• Dawn : You can't.

  Ryan : Do you want me to stop?

  Dawn : No.

  Ryan : Good.

  Dawn : But they'll get you.

  Ryan : Who?

  Dawn : The teeth.

  Ryan : Come on.

  Dawn : Seriously.

  Ryan : No, no, look. I'm conquering them. See? Yeah, I'm the hero.

• Dawn : [after having sex with Ryan]  I can't believe you're still alive!

• Dawn : That's what the ring is all about. The way it wraps around your finger - that's to remind you to keep your gift wrapped. Wrapped... until the day... you trade it in for that other ring. That gold ring. Get it?

• Dawn : Can I have a serious talk with you? About you and Melanie.

  Brad : There's no me and any bitch.

  Dawn : Okay. From what I heard last night...

  Brad : That turn you on?

  Dawn : I know we've never been close. We've never been like sister and brother, and I really don't know why that is.

  Brad : Sure you do. You know.

  Dawn : I really don't, but whatever it is, I'd like for it to change.

  Brad : You know all that abstinence bullshit. We all know who you've been saving yourself for. And I've been real patient. You think I like living here with these assholes?

  Dawn : Mom and dad?

  Brad : So why don't you just sit that pretty ass down.

• Dawn : [her vagina dentata bites down on Ryan during sex]  Oh shit.

• Dawn : The toothed vagina appears in the mythology of many and diverse cultures all over the world. In these myths, the story is always the same. The hero must do battle with the woman. The toothed creature can break her power.

• Dr. Godfrey : I imagine you have no idea what to expect.

  Dawn : Not really.

  Dr. Godfrey : Well, don't worry. I'm not going to bite ya!

• Dawn : Dentata.

  Ryan : What?

  Dawn : It's Latin for teeth.

• Dawn : I think we can't go out together again. I mean, even in a group. Even in a big group.

• Dawn : Vagina Dentata. The toothed vagina appears in the mythology of many and diverse cultures all over the world. In these myths, the story is always the same. The hero must do battle with the woman, the toothed creature, and break her power. The myth springs from a primitive masculine dread of the mysteries of women and sexual union. Fears of weakness, impotence. It is a nightmare image of the power and horror of female sexuality. The myth imagines sexual intercourse as an epic journey that every man must make back to the womb, the dark crucible that hatched him.

• Dawn : Vagina dentata! It's what inside's me. The doctor said so. A hero has to come and conquer them!
