Marc Thompson: Mr. Timothy O'Neill, Kevin Thompson

Quotes 

• Mr O'Neill : So you see, girls, I don't want to change the intent of the poster, I just want to make it more palatable. You know what they say: "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down."

  Jane : Not if you're diabetic.

• Jane : What does this have to do with our poster?

  Mr O'Neill : It changes a negative message into a positive one. She's not pretty because she starved herself into it; she's pretty because she takes care of herself! It's even more powerful than before, because it's upbeat!

  Jane : I see. She's not going to throw up anymore. But I might.

  Daria : Don't do that. It's downbeat.

• Mr. Timothy O'Neill : So you see, girls, I don't want to change the intent of your poster, I just want to make it more "palatable'. You know what they say, "A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down".

  Jane Lane : Not if you're diabetic.
