The Karen Carpenter Story

Richard Carpenter:
Hey give me the pizza.

Karen Carpenter:
No it's my pizza.

Richard Carpenter:
Come on.

Karen Carpenter:
Richard, I...

Richard Carpenter:
She said I'm in charge!

Karen Carpenter:
Yeah, but not of this. Give me it back.

Richard Carpenter:
Come on. I'm doing you a favor. In 10 or 20 years Mom and Dad are going to let you date and I don't want you to get fat.

Agnes Carpenter:
Karen, you're not eating. You look too thin, if you ask me.

Karen Carpenter:
Mother, how can anybody be too thin?

Agnes Carpenter:
Here take one of these.

Richard Carpenter:
What is it?

Agnes Carpenter:
Something called qualuuds, to help you sleep.

Agnes Carpenter:
You kids want some hot dogs?

Karen Carpenter:
YEAH! [jumps up]

Richard Carpenter:
Mom! She's sung the same song all the way across the country, make her stop!

Agnes Carpenter:
[trying to discourage Karen from learning the drums] How many famous women drummers do you know?

Karen Carpenter:
So I'll be the first!
