Lost and Delirious (2001)

Jackie Burroughs: Fay Vaughn

Quotes 

• Fay Vaughn : I think our Paulie has just spiked the punch.

  Eleanor Bannet : Shall we pretend we don't know?

• Fay Vaughn : [Reading Macbeth in class while Paulie reads along in silence]  "Come, you spirits / That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, / And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full / Of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood, / Stop up th'access and passage to remorse, / That no compunctious visitings of nature / Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between / Th' effect and it. Come to my woman's breasts, / And take my milk for gall, you murd'ring ministers, / Wherever in your sightless substances / You wait on nature's mischief. / Come, thick night, / And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell, / That my keen knife see not the wound it makes, / Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark, / To cry 'Hold, hold!'"

• Fay Vaughn : Paulie, you looked like you were involved with the piece.

  Paulie : Actually, I was just thinking whether the Jays were gonna take the World Series again.

  Fay Vaughn : I don't believe you, Paulie. I saw you listening.

  Paulie : You can go fuck yourself sideways.

• [while Tori is dancing with her father, Paulie appears at the party dressed in a men's suit. As she is walking in, everyone is looking at her. She walks over to where Tori and her father are, and just stands there staring at Tori. A few seconds later, Bruce looks over at Paulie. Then Tori looks over too. Paulie steps in closer to them] 

  Paulie : Good evening, Victoria. Hello Bruce!

  Bruce Moller : Good evening.

  Paulie : Bruce, I wonder if I might cut in?

  Bruce Moller : This is a joke, right?

  Paulie : Joke? I'm asking you... nicely... can I dance with your daughter please?

  Bruce Moller : I'm afraid I don't think that's appropriate, and I don't think Victoria does either, so...

  [She cuts in anyway, and shoves Bruce out of the way. They are dancing together now. And by now, mostly everyone at the party is watching] 

  Tori : Are you crazy?

  Paulie : What? You don't like dancing? You used to love to dance with me on the roof, remember?

  Tori : Paulie... please...

  Paulie : What?

  Tori : Don't make this difficult!

  Paulie : You love me Tori!

  Tori : Like a friend!

  Paulie : As a lover. Say it! I'm in love with you Paulie!

  [yells] 

  Paulie : You say it or I'll stop this dance right now!

  [Everyone looks over at them] 

  Tori : Paulie please... please...

  Paulie : Then say it! Say it!

  [Tori looks at her father then looks back at Paulie] 

  Tori : No! You tell anyone whatever you want.

  [Tori walks away and her father follows behind her, leaving Paulie standing alone in the middle of the dance floor. Paulie starts to cry and Ms. Vaughn comes up behind her] 

  Fay Vaughn : Paulie! Paulie!

  [tries to grab Paulie] 

  Fay Vaughn : Come here... Paulie...

  [Paulie grabs her, spins around with her, and then runs from the party. Ms. Bannet walks over to Ms. Vaughn] 

  Eleanor Bannet : Faye!

  [Paulie runs out onto the grass, screaming]
