My So-Called Life

"You liked it though, right? It made you, like, happy? 'Cause that's probably all that, you know, matters." "To who?" "To, you know. The person...who wrote it."

"You had, like, intercourse?" "Like, constantly."

It's weird how something has to happen sometimes to see how you actually feel about something.

"So I can't even wear lipstick?" "For fun? Around the house? Yes. To school? No."

"Brian Krakow: the reason for all pain."

"'Potential slut.' Now where do people get that kinda idea about me?" "Research."

My mother is a behavioral psychologist, and my father is a Freudian psychiatrist. Which basically means that they fundamentally disagree on, like, everything.

"Do you ever get, like, hypnotized by food?" "Are you kidding me? Hypnotized By Food could be my Indian name."

"The poor thing's former best friend is voted Ms. Bosom, and all she gets is a pimple."

I like him. I do! And I want to pay this much attention to every word he says. It's not just because Jordan Catalano's watching.

"I can't help but recall the time you put her in the dryer." "Oh Mom, that was so long ago! I can't believe you're still talking about that. Anyway, she begged me to do it."

"You know? How do you know?" "Because, I live in the world."

"My point is that it's really hard to figure out how to be a man. Practically every man I know is still working on it."

"Angela, you can't, like, be responsible for the whole world."

I have to say that when my father warms something up, it tastes better than when anyone else does.

"I kept it loose. It wasn't definite. It wasn't, like, a date."

"So, um, you know that girl, Pam Troy?" "The one with the really bad perm?" "No, the one with the diamond stud in her nose." "Oh, the one with the crop-top and the, uh, she broke down and cried that time in, uh, Human Sexuality?"

I couldn't believe that Jordan Catalano was actually trying to diagram my sentences. His sentences were really short.

Rayanne always knows who's going to be there.

"I can't get that song you wrote, like, out of my mind."
