Quotes

Poison Ivy

Edit
Shared with you
  • Sylvie Cooper: I know it's stupid to be jealous about a dog.It's probably because I have low self-esteem.
  • Sylvie Cooper: The fact that Fred hated ever human except me really meant something.
  • Sylvie Cooper: There's something about her. I don't know. Those lips. You know lips are suppose to be the perfect reflection of a woman's anatomy. Not that I'm a lesbian... Well. Maybe I am. No, definitely not. I told my mother I was just for shock value. She said "fine. As long as you don't smoke".
  • [last lines]
  • Sylvie Cooper: [voice over narration] I still think about her. I guess, still love her. She might have been even more alone than I was. I miss her.
  • Sylvie Cooper: I like the ivy.
  • Ivy: Well the cross makes me think of death, but the ivy is life. Sort of the tragic and hopeful you know.
  • Sylvie Cooper: I'm a geek.
  • Ivy: You're beautiful.
  • Sylvie Cooper: Her acceptance didn't make me think less of her. It made me think more of me.
  • Sylvie Cooper: I'm a geek.
  • Sylvie Cooper: So what are you busted for?
  • Ivy: I gotta keep a certain grade point average. I'm slipping in biology.
  • Sylvie Cooper: She was definitely a turnoff, too overt. Look at her. Obviously, big problems. Most girls don't fly through the air with their skirt around their waist. Supergirl at least had the decency to wear tights.
  • Sylvie Cooper: She said, Fine, just as long as you don't smoke. Which, of course, is my main joy in life. Probably oral compensation.
  • Ivy: Energy never dies. It just changes form.
  • Sylvie Cooper: A lot of people think death is contagious.
  • Ivy: It's nice and cool in here. I missed my ride. Can you take me to Olympic and Fairfax?
  • Darryl Cooper: No.
  • Sylvie Cooper: Just a sec
  • [to her Father]
  • Sylvie Cooper: Dad, she's my best friend.
  • Georgie Cooper: Leave it open.
  • Sylvie Cooper: It's supposed to rain tonight.
  • Georgie Cooper: Then open it wider. What kinda girls are impressed by suicide?
  • Sylvie Cooper: I like her.
  • Georgie Cooper: She has a hole in her nose.
  • Sylvie Cooper: Yeah well a lot of girls do.
  • Georgie Cooper: I think you'd be embarrassed.
  • Sylvie Cooper: What?
  • Georgie Cooper: Getting caught lying all the time. Did you tell her you're black too?
  • Sylvie Cooper: You don't want me to have any friends, do you?
  • Georgie Cooper: People you have to lie to so they like you aren't worth your friendship.
  • Sylvie Cooper: Please, stop.
  • Ivy: I want to hear you say it! Are you excusing me of something?
  • Sylvie Cooper: Why? Did you do something?
  • Sylvie Cooper: You're still my best friend.
  • Ivy: 'Till death.
  • Sylvie Cooper: Lips are supposed to be a perfect reflection of another part of a woman's anatomy.
  • Man in Car: You rich fuckhead!
  • Darryl Cooper: I worked for it!
  • Sylvie Cooper: TMJ. It's stress-related. It gives you terrible headaches, makes your jaw stiff.
  • Darryl Cooper: Almost killed Burt Reynolds.
  • Georgie Cooper: People you have to lie to aren't worth your friendship.
  • Ivy: One day with the top down is better than a lifetime in a box.
  • Sylvie Cooper: I always seem to be looking at life from the wrong side of the window.
  • Sylvie Cooper: I know it's stupid to be jealous about a dog.It's probably because I have low self-esteem.
  • Sylvie Cooper: I guess you give up things when you take on a friendship.
  • Sylvie Cooper: Maybe if I hadn't been so selfish. Maybe if I could have told her I loved her maybe things would be different now.
  • Sylvie Cooper: My name's Sylvie Cooper.
  • Ivy: So Cooper, what they nail you for?
  • Ivy: Everybody hates me.
  • Sylvie Cooper: Oh well everybody hates me too.
  • Georgie Cooper: Who slashed their wrists?
  • Sylvie Cooper: Oh, Ivy, this is my Mom, Georgie.
  • Ivy: This is great.
  • Ivy: I thought you both could use this.
  • Georgie Cooper: Get out.
  • Sylvie Cooper: What the hell are you doing in my Mom's car?
  • Ivy: I found the key.
  • Ivy: No, Fred, come here.
  • Sylvie Cooper: No, Fred, come here.
  • Sylvie Cooper: You killed her.
  • Ivy: She wanted to die.
  • Ivy: Hello, Mr. Cooper, care for anything?
  • Ivy: It won't ever happen again.
