Bliss Cavendar : [helping Pash to the toilet] Come on, let's get this out.

Pash : No! You stick your fingers down YOUR throat.
Bliss Cavendar : ...Pash... you ever thought... about your parents making love... your dad's naked body...

Pash : nnoo!
[throws up, heaving]

[Bliss finds Iron Maven waiting for her at the Warehouse]
Iron Maven : Ruthless, Ruthless, Ruthless.
Bliss Cavendar : [hesitatingly] Maven, Maven, Maven?
Iron Maven : Hey, guess how old I am.
Bliss Cavendar : [guessing] 27?
Iron Maven : [not at all touched] Oh, that's sweet. I'm 36. Guess when I started skating. I was 31. 'Cause it took me that long to find one thing that I was really good at.
[Iron Maven stands, staring intently at Bliss]
Iron Maven : And you know what? I worked my ass off to get it.
Bliss Cavendar : [nervously] Yeah, me too.
Iron Maven : [smirks briefly] It's too bad you're only 17.
[Bliss stares in shock]
Iron Maven : What do you think the league is gonna say when they find that out? Or your teammates, when they find out you've been lying? That's gonna be rough.
Bliss Cavendar : [pleading desperately] Maven, please, look...
Iron Maven : [cutting her off] No, you look. One day it will be your time, Ruthless, but it's not your time now. And if I was you, I wouldn't even bother lacing up those skates.
[Iron Maven walks away, and Bliss hangs her head and cries]
Bliss Cavendar : Fuck.
-
Bliss Cavendar : Is this what you do with all the girls? Take them here to show off your skills?
Oliver : Yeah, and it usually works too.
Bliss Cavendar : Oh yeah? Maybe we should do something different.

[Bliss is waiting on a table occupied by Corbi, Colby and their friends]
Colby : What's the name of that thing that if I eat it real fast, it's free?
Bliss Cavendar : That's the Squealer. You have to eat it in three minutes or less.
Colby : [ponders briefly] Yeah. You bring me a Squealer. And I don't mean Corbi.
[Colby laughs and grabs Corbi in a groping hug, and Corbi mock-squeals loudly]
-
Corbi : So, what are you, like, alternative now?
Bliss Cavendar : Alternative to what?
-
Maggie Mayhem : I'm Maggie, Maggie Mayhem.
Bliss Cavendar : I'm Bliss, but I can change that.
Maggie Mayhem : Yeah, you'll have to change that.
-
Brooke Cavendar : What do you think, that the world thinks of those girls with all their tattoos? Do you think they have an easy time finding a job? Or getting a loan application? Or going to a decent college?
Bliss Cavendar : I think it depends on the girl.
Brooke Cavendar : Or finding a husband? No, you just limit your choices.
Bliss Cavendar : Seriously, you need to stop. You really need to stop shoving your psychotic idea of '50s womanhood down my throat. And pageants? I mean, what have they ever done for you?
Brooke Cavendar : That's my point, Bliss! I didn't have a mother.. to navigate all my opportunities.
Bliss Cavendar : Jesus Christ. I am in love with this. I mean, don't you get it?
Brooke Cavendar : It won't last. In two or three years, it'll be over. This is a moment.
Bliss Cavendar : Well, how great is that?
Brooke Cavendar : You don't understand. You will when you have to support yourself.
Bliss Cavendar : I do support myself.
Brooke Cavendar : No, you don't. You buy shoes.
Bliss Cavendar : You're full of shit. You know what, actually...
Earl Cavender : Hey. Hey, you calm down, little lady.
Bliss Cavendar : Why don't you go back to your turtle shell so you don't have to freaking confront anything?
-
Bliss Cavendar : I'm gonna puke!
-
Brooke Cavendar : I'm supposed to buy you shoes from a... a head shop? Does that really strike you as responsible parenting?
Bliss Cavendar : Fine, the shoes are a gateway drug.
-
Bliss Cavendar : I gave him everything.
Brooke Cavendar : No, don't say that.
Bliss Cavendar : No, it's true.
[Brooke tilts her head a little to the right looking for confirmation]
Bliss Cavendar : I did.
Brooke Cavendar : [Looks away. Gets up, goes to the kitchen and lights up a cigarette] That's a lot to process.
-
Bliss Cavendar : [Kisses Oliver and then slaps] I would've called.
-
Earl Cavender : And had I known what you were up to, I would have bought a ticket.
Brooke Cavendar : Earl.
Earl Cavender : I mean, dang it, girl, what has gotten into you?
Bliss Cavendar : Just defective, I guess.
Brooke Cavendar : Nice parenting, Earl.
-
Bliss Cavendar : Seriously, out of all the places to go to in the world, who would come to Bodeen?
Pash : Them. I mean, they're smart, at least they just pass through.
Birdman : Go ahead and mock it. But without the Blue Bonnet factory, this town wouldn't exist.
Pash : You know what, Birdman, I think I preferred you before you got promoted. You know, now you're all corporate.
Bliss Cavendar : I know. I miss the old Birdman.
Pash : Yeah.
Birdman : Ladies, don't let the tie fool you. I'm still one of us. But y'all are gonna have to start calling me Dwayne now. It's more dignified.
Pash : No. Birdman is the only thing you have going for you.
Birdman : That's what you think.
-
Pash : I can't believe you used to share a bed with her.
Bliss Cavendar : You make it sound very dirty. It was just sleepovers.
-
Bliss Cavendar : You hate them.
Brooke Cavendar : Well, they don't have duct tape on them. That's an improvement.
-
Earl Cavender : Yeah, it's Earl.
Brooke Cavendar : Hello, Earl. Can you please explain to your daughter why it's inappropriate to buy shoes in a head shop?
Bliss Cavendar : Dad, it's not like that.
Earl Cavender : You took your mother to a head shop? Are you off your nut?
Bliss Cavendar : You know, if she wasn't here and I used my own money, it wouldn't make a difference.
Brooke Cavendar : That's not the point.
Earl Cavender : Look, I am in the middle of a deal here, okay? So whatever you all work out is fine with me.
Brooke Cavendar : Give me that.
Earl Cavender : Okay?
Brooke Cavendar : Earl, do you know how hard I have worked to raise these girls in a drug-free environment?
Earl Cavender : Yes, I do.
Brooke Cavendar : Exactly.
-
Pash : What is this? Roller derby? This is... This is tomorrow. This is in Austin.
Bliss Cavendar : Yeah, I know.
Pash : Will there be cute boys there?
-
Bliss Cavendar : I kind of feel bad lying to them.
Pash : I don't. I give my parents straight A's, I get freedom.
-
Bliss Cavendar : I just wanna tell you all that you're my new heroes.
Maggie Mayhem : It's your first time here?
Bliss Cavendar : Yeah.
Maggie Mayhem : Well, put some skates on, be your own hero.
Bliss Cavendar : The last time I wore skates, they had Barbies on them.
Maggie Mayhem : Hey, you know, none of us knew our ass from an elbow pad when we started.
-
Bliss Cavendar : Hey, you're Iron Maven.
Iron Maven : That's right, kiss-ass. Why don't you suck up a little harder? There's still part of your face that doesn't have doodie on it.
-
Bliss Cavendar : Mom, you're still really beautiful.
Brooke Cavendar : Save your sarcasm for later.
-
Bliss Cavendar : His name's Oliver. It's a great name.
Pash : Yeah, if you like wayfaring Dickensian orphans.
-
Bliss Cavendar : Well, I didn't throw up.
Maggie Mayhem : That'll do. Good thing.
-
Brooke Cavendar : I know that you're just too bohemian to care, but she has to cheer tonight.
Bliss Cavendar : And she's gonna go through with it? What an athlete.
-
Bliss Cavendar : Why do you feel like you have to lie to her?
Earl Cavender : You gotta pick your battles with your mother because she is a fighter.
-
Bliss Cavendar : But you're not really like her, though.
Maggie Mayhem : Oh, I'm the cool aunt?
-
Bliss Cavendar : Please don't judge me right now.
-
Maggie Mayhem : Bliss, I know what it's like to wanna do your own thing. Believe me, I do. But maybe there's a way you can do it without making your parents feel like crap?
Bliss Cavendar : What?
Maggie Mayhem : I've just been thinking. I think maybe you're being a little selfish with your mom.
Bliss Cavendar : Okay, no. She's the one who has been shoving her agenda down my throat since day one.
Maggie Mayhem : First of all, you're lucky to have a mom that even cares. And just because she's wrong about derby, doesn't mean she's wrong about every single thing. And if Riley ever lies to me the way you lied to your parents, he wouldn't even be able to run away 'cause I'd break his legs.
-
Bliss Cavendar : It's the only cool thing you own.
Brooke Cavendar : That you'd know about.
-
Bliss Cavendar : I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
Pash : I know. Just keep... Keep saying it.
Bliss Cavendar : Yeah.
Pash : Over and over again, please.
Bliss Cavendar : Yeah, I will. I'll keep it up.
-
Bliss Cavendar : Did he turn into a handsome prince?
Pash : No, he stayed a Birdman. But the worst part is, he's actually a good kisser. Really good.

Bliss Cavendar : Screw you and your grandmother's Chevy Celebrity!
