- Matthew Trant: She's getting too big to be running around wild as a jack rabbit.
- Abigail Trant: It used to be she was too little, and now she's too big. I guess she passed up just right when nobody was lookin'.
- Dani: I'm afraid nothing's ever gonna make sense again.
- Maureen Trant: Maybe life's not supposed to make sense. Danielle
- Dani: Doesn't that scare you?
- Maureen Trant: Yes.
- Dani: I want you to be the first boy I ever kiss.
- Court Foster: I thought you'd been kissed "so many times."
- [Long, awkward pause, then Court leans over and they kiss]
- Court Foster: How was that?
- Dani: Perfect.
- Dani: I wanna know you.
- Court Foster: You do know me.
- Dani: I wanna know you more... I wanna know you all I can.
- Court Foster: What do you wanna know?
- Dani: I wanna know... your hopes.
- Court Foster: Well... I hope your boobs will get bigger and your butt will fill out.
- Matthew Trant: What time you got?
- Billy Sanders: 6:13.
- Matthew Trant: You're responsible for my daughter for the next 5 hours and 7 minutes.
- Billy Sanders: Yes sir, Mr. Trant. You don't have a thing to worry about.
- Matthew Trant: Then neither will you.
- Court Foster: You know you don't have to come along.
- Dani: Are you sure you can find your way, it's an awful big town.
- Court Foster: Are you always in the habit of going where you're not wanted or is this a new thing with you?
- Dani: Are you always this nice to people you just met or are you practicin' up to be a horse's butt?
- Dani: When two people really care about each other, they try to understand things. Even when it's hard.
- Court Foster: Have you ever been kissed before?
- Dani: Sure. Lots of times.
- Court Foster: Yeah... I'll bet. Well you just almost got yourself more than kissed, little girl.
- Dani: I'm not a little girl.
- Court Foster: You are too Dani! You're a little girl and you don't know what you're doing.
- [first lines]
- Dani: I love Elvis so much.
- Maureen Trant: You love everybody so much.
- Dani: I do not.
- Maureen Trant: You do, too.
- Dani: No I don't.
- Maureen Trant: Okay, you don't.
- Dani: Well, I don't. Maureen, sometimes you make me feel like such a baby.
- Maureen Trant: You are a baby.
- Dani: I wish I could be just like you.
- Maureen Trant: Don't talk silly.
- Dani: It's not silly. You're the smartest girl in school, you're so pretty it hurts - the boys fall all over themselves when you walk down the street. And I'm just a lump.
