• Minnie : So, maybe nobody loves me. Maybe nobody will ever love me. But maybe it's not about being loved by somebody else.

• Minnie : What's the point of living if nobody loves you. Nobody sees you. Nobody touches you.

• Minnie : I hate you!

  Monroe : [softly]  Yeah, well, I like you.

• [first lines] 

  Minnie : I had sex today... Holy shit.

• Minnie : I always thought I wanted to be exactly like my mom. But she thinks she needs a man to be happy. I don't.

• Minnie : I want someone to be so totally in love with me that they would feel like they would die if I were gone. Maybe Monroe could love me like that.

• Minnie : It feels like there are little weights hanging from my heart that swing and tug every time I move, every time the wind blows.

• Minnie : It would've been better to have slept and dreamed than to watch the night pass and the slow moon sink.

• [Minnie runs to the bathroom and locks herself in to talk to Kimmie on the phone privately. Gretel shows up right behind and starts listening in] 

  Kimmie : [voice]  Alright, tell me.

  Minnie : [whispering excitedly]  I can't tell you; you have to guess.

  Kimmie : [voice]  You fucked somebody!

  Minnie : [surprised, giggling]  What? How did you know?

  Kimmie : [on the other end of the line, curling her hair in front of the mirror, smiling]  I'm so happy. Who was it?

  Minnie : [whispering loudly]  Guess! Gretel is listening.

  Gretel : [from outside the bathroom door]  I am not! You're so full of yourself!

• Minnie : This is for all the girls when they have grown. Signing off, trusty diary. Love, Minnie Goetze.

• Minnie : Don't laugh at me!

  [playfully hitting him] 

  Monroe : Or what?

  [laughing with her] 

  Minnie : OR I'M GONNA TELL MY MOTHER!

  Monroe : [pauses, stunned]  Get dressed.

  Minnie : What? You can't take it?

  Monroe : [trying to contain his anger]  Get *dressed*.

  Minnie : No!

  Monroe : [exploding]  YOU RUINED IT, MINNIE! YOU'RE A FUCKING CHILD! I SHOULD TELL YOUR MOTHER! YOU WANT THAT? YOU'RE MANIPULATING ME! WELL I'M NOT HAVING IT!

  Minnie : [starts to cry, crouches to the floor, naked]
