Canadibrit's Fanfic Quotefest

Just like the actual show, fan fiction produces some really excellent quotes - single lines or portions of dialogue tthat really stick in the mind, be they funny or powerful. In fact, in some cases a quote is better remembered than the name of the fic it resides in. I've opened up the Fanfic Quotefest so that people can submit their favourites - it's yet another way to promote fan fiction. Eventually I'm gonna link the titles directly to the fanfics on my site, if they happen to be up here. Until then, have fun!

When Hell Froze Over

STACY: Well, I can. Daria looks so cool today that it gives me the courage to quit the Fashion Club and make my own fashion statements, starting with breaking the no-glasses rule. (Takes glasses out of her purse and puts them on) Wow! I didn't know guys looked so hot when they aren't blurry! (Running away) Hey, Upchuck! Wait for me!

Death of a Rabbit

Helen: I know you must be very confused and scared right now. You probably think we're going to be upset. We are upset. But certain things are more important now. You have a big decision to make and not much time. Whatever you decide, Daria, whether you think it's better to give it up or you want to take on that responsibility... We know you're a smart girl, Daria. We'll support you, whatever you decide is best.

(awkward pause)

Daria: That was very (pause) moving, but I have no idea what you're talking about.

Helen: What I'm trying to say is--

Jake: (jumping up) Oh, damn it, Helen! Daria, why the hell'd you have to get pregnant!

The Games We Play

Daria: Now, how did you manage to do so well? I mean, we ended up with more money than we started with. Significantly more.

Jane: I paid a visit to the toy store where she got the money.

(Daria turns to look at Jane.)

Daria: Securities fraud, profiteering, and counterfeiting all in one day. Not bad...

Jane: For once, school teaches us skills applicable to the real world.

Submitted by rancour - Daria: Where's an ivory tower when you need one?


Escape from Lawndale

Helen: Daria? How do I program the VCR? We have this weekend retreat, but your father doesn't want to miss the playoffs...

Daria: Let's see ... First, you usually spend half an hour searching for the remote, which is probably stuck in the cushions in the couch. Then, you stare at the remote, pressing random buttons and complaining about why no one can make a decent VCR that doesn't require a PhD to program the damn thing. By then, either Dad or Quinn need something done, so you offer me a twenty to do it for you.

Submitted by rancour - "Daria's actually pretty lucky, here... for the longest time, I was the only one in my house who could program the VCR. Even though there were instructions printed ON THE FRONT OF IT."

Submitted by Dr Mike ("Like I'm not going to quote this one...")

Jane: (impatient) So you're coming?

Daria: 'Portrait of an American Family'?

Lynn: (bored) I don't think I'm in the mood to perpetuate the "I am a cynical, depressed freak therefore I listen to Marilyn Manson" stereotype today. I swear, if I ever go postal, I'll do it dressed skin out in Tommy Hillfiger with the Spice Girls in my Walkman. (beat. to Jane) Sure. It's either that or watch Mom eat trick-or-treaters.

Kevin: Don't worry, Lynn! I'll go easy on you!

(Lynn scowls at him. Morris throws the ball into the air between them; Lynn jumps, hammering a foot down on Kevin's knee as if using it as a step up as she smacks the ball back towards her own team. Kevin yelps and collapses. Morris blows the whistle.)

Morris: (surprised) CULLEN! Foul! (beat) IMPRESSIVE foul.

Lynn: (casual) It's not even so much the getting out of this white-collar-nimrod factory. I'm just looking forward to piling my shredded notes and gym clothes into the bottom of my locker, dousing the lot with lighter fluid and tossing a match ... without having to worry about being expelled. (to Daria's look) You think I'm kidding.

Daria: No, I HOPE you're kidding. (when she sees that Lynn isn't) You think it'll be that satisfying?

Lynn: Imagine, if you will, the smell of burning paper and cloth. The crinkle-crinkle sound of paint being blistered by the heat. The warmth and light of the flickering flames fuelled by the symbols and results of efforts you never wanted to make. Knowing that, after four years in the stocks, you are now as free as ashes on the wind.

(Short pause as Daria and Lynn both peer into Lynn's locker.)

Daria: Synchronised arson?

Lynn: Talk to me about it next year.

Ted: (puzzled) I thought you liked that show.

Quinn: (sigh; morose) I did. Then I realised how fake the fight scenes were and the dream was gone.

Ted: So your willing suspension of disbelief was disrupted by a flaw in the detail work, thus robbing it of its meaning and any merit it might have had. A truly Stanislavskian construction, then, unable to survive dissection.

Daria Gets A Pet

The Morgendorffer's Kitchen a short time later. The view is on the doorway. Daria's stumbles thru as the shot pulls back. She stops with a bit of surprise as we see Jane sitting at the table pouring coffee for Cartman who is sitting on the kitchen table holding a coffee cup. The table is littered with used coffee cups, spoons, the sugar bowl that is knocked over, and there's a pool of milk or cream near the pitcher. She then refills her cup and they both take long drinks from their mugs in unison. After a second, they lower their now empty mugs down and both let out happy little sighs.

Jane: (to Cartman) So, was it good for you?

Cartman lets out a happy little purr.

An Early Morning Reading

Lynn: The Lord of the Manor....And a good morning to you, Mr. Get 10% of my hard earned money and I get little in return. How are you this morning?...Standing outside the soundstage once again....Yes, it's locked up tight again...Look, you're my agent, right? You've got to find me another fanfic writer to work with....Because of her, that's why....We've gone over this before. She had me sleep with Trent, that's why. You've seen all the hate mail from those damn shippers who hate me now. Plus I'm having to go back and rewrite all of her scripts....Why? Because she ain't going to do it plus my writing is a lot better then hers....And what about my contract talks?...What do you mean you can't get equal billing for me? They've got my picture up there on the splash screen but they cant add my name to the show title? And what about my own dressing room? I'm getting tired of stepping over all those damn art supplies. I would think someone more important than a sidekick should get her own dressing room....Fine, you'll work on it. I've heard that before. See what you can do about it . (Lynn snaps her phone closed. Trent stares down at his coffee. Daria and Jane inspect their boots. No one is looking at Lynn.) Um, so how are the contract talks going with you?

The Jungle, part 1

A young, blond woman approaches the group from under the plane where she has been talking with the crew about loading the plane. She is wearing a brown leather bomber jacket with tons of patches on it, tight beige slacks, a flight captain's hat and heavy, leather boots. She snaps her gum waiting to be introduced. Lynn looks up all of the sudden with a slight look of horror.

Lynn: (Recognizing the blond.) Oh, you have to be kidding me.

Daria: Huh?

Lynn: You remember at the table read Dr Mike was going on and on about the one joke he's wanted to use for months now.

Jane: (Thinking.) Yea. He said something about wanting to use it since he started writing these fanfic pieces.

AP: You don't mean?...

Lynn: This must be it.

The blond comes up to the group with a hand out.

The Blond: Hi, I'm Mary Sue...

Daria: (Shaking her hand.) Well, that wasn't so bad.

Mary Sue: (Big grin on her face as she moves to shake Lynn's hand.) And, boy, am I a character.

Hail Cullen, Well Met (prose adapt of work by Canadibrit)

"We are gathered here today, not only to count mittens and read about Spot the dog, but to mourn the passing of..." Another slight grimace. "Fuzz-Wuzz, the class hamster. Fuzz-Wuzz was...well, all the things a hamster ought to be, and it's hard to believe that he has died. And so, to help us come to terms with the loss of this...much-loved class pet...I would like to give the following as a eulogy."

Most of the students, and the teacher, looked prepared to be bored out of their skulls. A.P. was starting to get very confused.

Lynn took a breath and then launched into her "eulogy," in what A.P. would later learn was a passable imitation of one John Cleese. "*`Voom'?!?* Mate, this hamster wouldn't `voom' if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised! 'E's not pinin', 'e's passed on! This 'amster is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you 'adn't nailed 'im to the wheel, 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, rung down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! *This is an ex-hamster!!*"

For a moment, there was dead silence. Everyone was staring at her, mostly in shock and horror...except A.P., who was biting his lip to keep from laughing.

Lynn resumed her normal flat tones. "Ah, Fuzz-Wuzz, we barely knew ye. Let's have a moment of silence for the class pet." That was easy enough -- the class mostly looked like they couldn't have talked even if they'd wanted to. A.P. had both hands clapped over his mouth to keep the giggles in. "I'll leave the interment to Mrs. Vineberg. May Fuzz-Wuzz rest in peace."

Helen and Jake hadn't seen this in years, and Quinn never had, at least not that she remembered - Daria Morgendorffer in full burn, seven shades of pissed off. Quinn tried to salvage something from the situation. "Well, first you wanted me here and now you don't. Make up your mind." As she walked towards the door, she muttered to herself. "Bitch."

Helen heard that. She started to stand up, but Daria put an hand on her shoulder and forced her back down. Daria took two steps after her sister, and her voice was a vicious growl through clenched teeth. "Slut!"

Quinn froze and looked back at her sister. Whatever she saw, it was enough to make her leap out the door and run down the driveway.
