Claire Danes: Angela Chase

Quotes 

• Sharon Cherski : My father almost died. And you were the only person who didn't even seem to care. People I barely knew were coming up to me all like, concerned, and you, you acted like you barely even knew me.

  Angela : I know, I know I acted like that. I just didn't know what else to do... I knew I was the last person on earth you wanted to deal with...

  Sharon Cherski : [beginning to cry]  You were the *only* person I wanted to deal with!

• Sharon Cherski : I can't believe that you can't even be nice to me!

  Angela : Why do you even need me to be nice to you? Since everybody else in the world is.

• Jordan : So, you crying or something?

  Angela : I guess.

  Jordan : How come?

  Angela : [Narration]  Because I'm lonely. Because I have no friends. Because I'm a terrible, terrible person.

  [to Jordan] 

  Angela : Because my friend's father is in the hospital and he could die.

  [Hugs Jordan and is interrupted] 

  Jordan : That's... that's rough. I better go.

• Rayanne : You know that girl Angela Chase?

  Enrique (Rickie) Vasquez : The red-headed girl?

  Rayanne : Yeah, some red-head. It's out of a bottle. Well anyway, is she avoiding us?

  Enrique (Rickie) Vasquez : I think she is. I think we make her physically ill, or something.

  Rayanne : I think so because... oh, Angela. Hi!

  Angela : Very funny.

  Rayanne : So, I guess you've heard Sharon's dad is okay.

  Angela : That's great! No, I hadn't heard. I'm obviously the last person in Pittsburgh to hear. So, you friends with Sharon now?

  Rayanne : So? You are.

  Enrique (Rickie) Vasquez : Look, we all know what's going on around here. Okay? Which is that you are jealous.

  Rayanne : What?

  Enrique (Rickie) Vasquez : And you! You are totally flipped because Rayanne finally did something nice, for once in her life.

  Rayanne : Hey!

  Enrique (Rickie) Vasquez : Which she did by taking Sharon to go visit her dad. And now both of you just want to be sure that both of you are still friends. Which you are. So shut up!

• Angela : There's the people who you've known forever, who know you in this way that other people can't, because they've seen you change. They've let you change.
