Quotes 

• Amy Juergens : [tries to button up her pants and gives up]  How am I going to fix this?

  Madison Cooperstein : Fix what?

  [awkward silence] 

  Madison Cooperstein : Well, are we talking about it or not?

  Amy Juergens : Yeah. I mean, we're talking about the fact that my clothes no longer fit because I'm fat.

  Madison Cooperstein : Well, maybe we can get you like a big safety pin. You know, like the giant pins they put on... diapers?

  Lauren Treacy : And how long is that going to work?

  Amy Juergens : Okay, why are you always so negative?

  Lauren Treacy : I'm not negative, but sooner or later, you're going to have to tell your parents that you're... fat and why you're fat.

• Ashley Juergens : [to Amy]  I stayed up because I wanted to ask you something. You're not... you're not, like, pregnant or anything, are you?

  Amy Juergens : [stuttering]  Wh... wh... why would you say something like that?

  Ashley Juergens : Look, Amy, you're acting really weird lately and you're stuttering again, so I know you're trying to cover something up. You're lying. You're lying all the time and you're hungry all the time. You eat everything in sight and you've gained weight, and you've got boobs. And you got sick? I mean, you love the carousel.

  Amy Juergens : I know.

  Ashley Juergens : So?

  [more silence] 

  Ashley Juergens : I won't tell them if you are. I won't tell anyone, I promise. You're gonna need me if you are because you know they're gonna kill you and you're gonna need a friend.

  Amy Juergens : I have friends, Ashley.

  Ashley Juergens : Not in this house. Not if you're having a baby. Just tell me. Are you? Are you having a baby?

  Amy Juergens : [with tears in her eyes]  Yeah. Don't tell anyone, okay? I'll tell them when I need to.
