White Oleander

Paul:
What happened?

Astrid:
She let me go.

Paul:
I get this feeling like... you're not interested in guys.

Astrid:
You're right, I'm not.

Astrid:
There's nothing wrong with being a Christian.

Ingrid:
Are you out of your mind? How did this happen? I raised you, not a pack of Bible-thumping trailer trash. I raised you to think for yourself.

Astrid:
No you didn't. You raised me to think like you.

Astrid:
You look at me, and you don't like what you see. But this is the price, Mother - the price of belonging to you.

Ingrid:
I made you. I'm in your blood. You don't go anywhere until I let you go

Astrid:
Then let me go

Astrid:
Looks don't interest me.

Paul:
That's easy for you to say, you've never been ugly.

Astrid:
My mother was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She was also the most dangerous.

Starr:
Astrid, those are ugly shoes.

Astrid:
Snakes don't bite above ankle.

Starr:
Well, take my word for it, you better being bitten by snakes then dressin' for them.

Astrid:
But...

Starr:
Don't "But" me. He is a man, and he sees what he sees, and does what he can.

Ingrid:
Love humiliates you. Hatred cradles you.

Ingrid:
Of course I was jealous. I live in a cell with a women who has a vocabulary of 25 words.

Claire Richards:
Take my advice and stay away from broken people.

Paul:
I was born addicted to heroin.

Astrid:
And what was that like?

Paul:
I don't know - I was out of rehab by the time I was six months old.

Rena:
Workers of the world arise. You've got nothing to lose but Visa card, happy meal, and Kotex with wings.

Claire Richards:
What was the best day of your life?

Astrid:
Today.

Astrid:
Beauty was my mothers law, her religion.

Ray:
My opinion is if there is a god he sure as hell ain't worth prayin' to.

Carolee:
Don't look at me like that. You're no different than I am... you just don't know it yet.

Astrid:
The Next time you and your friends jump me, I'll cut your throats when you're sleeping.

Rena:
You're a stupid girl, you walk away from money to punish mother?

Astrid:
Never let a man spend the night, she said. Never apologize, never explain. She was breaking all her rules, and it would change everything.

Starr:
He who believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall live. And don't you forget it, missy.
