Quotes
-
Mouse : Have you ever been really thirsty? And you open a carton of milk and you pour it in your mouth... and it's... sour. That happened. Inside me. Forever.
-
[last lines]
Mouse : [voice-over] Dear my mother, I almost got lost too, didn't I? But the pure love you gave me 'til you died was like a flame always there, burning. And just like the raptor, that little flame was all I needed in order to see in the dark. It saved me, Momma, from that deep dark. Paulie, she didn't have that. The darkness took over her so she had to fly away. I still dream of her every night. And I think I always will. And you know, I can always remember your face now. Any time I think of you I look up and I can see your face. My mother's face. Like a flame across the sky.

Paulie : I'm Paulie.
[exhales cigarette smoke]
Paulie : Oster.
[shakes Mouse's hand firmly]
Mouse : Mary Bedford. Mouse, really... they call me.
Paulie : [chuckles] I'd rather call you shithead than Mouse.
Paulie : [sits down next to Mouse] So you're roomin' with me and Tori, huh?
Mouse : Yeah, that's what Miss Vaughn said.
Paulie : Well, I guess she didn't like us up there all by our lonesome.
-
Mouse : How much does it matter what other people think?
Joe Menzies : I dunno... depends on how much they're paying you, I guess.
[both chuckle]
Joe Menzies : How much they payin' ya?
Mouse : My father sent me some seeds... I was wondering if maybe, I could plant them somewhere?
Joe Menzies : Oh, uh- the dirt's usually a good spot...
[chuckles]
Joe Menzies : Let's see what you got...
[observes]
Joe Menzies : Ew! Worm eggs!
-
Mouse : I felt like a gray mouse heading straight for the mouth of a cat, and there was nothing, nothing I could do about it.

[Everybody on the field looks up and sees Paulie on the roof of the builing with the falcon perched on her arm]
Mouse : [Quietly, in tears] Paulie... Paulie... please!
Paulie : [recites] 'I will make me a willow cabin at your gate, and call upon my soul within the house... '
[Tori's eyes widen as she shakes uncontrollably]
Paulie : [quietly] I rush into the secret house...
[Paulie stretches both of her arms out sideways]
Tori : PAULIE!
[Paulie leans forward and then falls off the roof. The falcon flies away]
-
Cordelia : [Tori ignores Paulie's beckoning to her and Mouse and sits with Cordelia and Kara, and Mouse continues to Paulie's table]
[to Tori]
Cordelia : So... how are you?
Tori : First of all, whatever they're saying is trash talk. Stupid. I know you guys won't listen to it.
Cordelia : Of course not. God, I mean, even if it was true, I'd still be like, "So? Grow up."
Tori : But it's not true.
Cordelia : I mean, like, my aunt is gay. Like, get over it.
Tori : Yeah, but I'm not. Totally. So...
Cordelia : No, I know.
Mouse : [She and Paulie have overheard the conversation] She's upset. Give her time.
Paulie : Bedford, this is a dark day.
-
Paulie : Hey, new girl, what do you think of Vaughnie?
Tori : [giggling] Don't call her "new girl," it's so rude!
Mouse : Miss Vaughn? She's nice.
[Paulie chuckles]
Tori : Some of the girls say rude things about her.
Paulie : She and Bannet, they got it goin' on for sure.
Tori : Paulie, give it a rest. She's just a single lady, and they're very good friends, and that's it. Don't be so mean... or homophobic.
Mouse : She seemed nice to me.
[Paulie and Tori stare at her]
Mouse : I mean, um, normal. Well, not...
Paulie : I'm not sayin' she's not nice new girl, I'm sayin' shes a LES-BO! And she got the hots for Tori here.
[Tori scoffs]
Paulie : Who can blame her, eh?
[squeezes Tori's face playfully]
Paulie : Beautiful.

[Paulie points her sword on Jake as he lies on the ground and runs the pointed end from his chest down to his right thigh]
Paulie : [about Tori] Give her up!
Mouse : Paulie!
Paulie : Say, "I... give... her... up!"
Jake Hollander : Go fuck yourself!
[Paulie thrusts her sword into Jake's thigh, making him scream at the top of his lungs, and so does Paulie]
Mouse : Paulie, no!
John : Fucking bitch!
Mouse : Paulie!
Jake Hollander : [to John and Phil] She cut me!
John : Fucking bitch!
[John and Phil try to help Jake stop the bleeding while Mouse pulls Paulie away]
Mouse : [Shaking Paulie] What are you doing? What are you doing?
Jake Hollander : You are fucking crazy!
[Paulie breaks down and runs off screaming]
-
Tori : [showing the new girl around school, helpIng with carrying her luggage:] So, this is the bathroom and the showers. What's your name again?
Mouse : Oh, most people call me Mouse.
Tori : Mouse?
Mouse : My Dad always called me that.
Tori : Really? How come?
[no answer]
Tori : My Dad used to call me Princess. It made me barf.
Mouse : Better than Mouse.
