- [closing narration]
- Jeanie: Back in the heavy stoned days, when we used to stay up and talk a lot, Annie and me, we were talking about dying, how it feels and all. I said I'd never get buried. I couldn't stand them shoveling dirt in my face. Like, I know I'd be dead, but I still might have this strong compulsion to breathe, okay? But Annie, she said she wanted to be buried right in the ground under a pear tree. Really. Not in a box or anything. She said she wanted the roots going right through her, and each year, we'd come along, take a pear, and go "Hey, Annie's tasting good this year, huh?"
- Madge: [after Jeanie was talking to a pimp on Hollywood Boulevard, looking for Annie] God, Jeanie, I don't know how you could even talk to that guy. I mean like, he looks like a... He could hypnotize you like a cobra or something you know, and the next thing you're out on the Boulevard and you're dressed like the Pointer Sisters.
- Mary: [to Jeanie, after Annie has been placed into a mental hospital] Maybe Annie is sick. Did you ever think of that? Maybe the whole bunch of you are sick. You booze. You dope. You sleep with whoever. I don't even know who you are. You look like kids, but you don't act like them. You're short 40-year-olds and you're tough ones.
- Jeanie: You know, the trouble with L.A. is that everybody's trying to act so supercool and into their own space. Like they'd be ruined if they had to feel anything. I know, I used to be in yoga class.
- Brad: [looking at his hamburger while having lunch with her at a water treatment plant] God, this stuff is poison. You don't know what they put in here.
- Jeanie: Yeah. What are you gonna do, right? You know, nobody wants to feel the pain in things anymore. For instance, I can feel the pain in things sometimes. There's this one-eyed rooster I know. Like some dog got to him and bit a hole in his head. Back in this place my dad used to take me, when he was into the outdoors. Some ranch, really, in the Sierras. Bunch of stoner types, real spiritual heads, always in some full lotus squatting their way to a new head or something. And this is really bullshit 'cause there all these rock-n-rollers making lots of real heavy money and they're om-ing up in the hills. And I said, there's pain in this rooster's head. And they go, "Too much maya, man. Too much maya." Like pain's an illusion. Like it isn't even real. Christ. Illusion, right? I wanted to laugh. It was... It was like some church for these guys sitting under these trees, you know? I did something really gross. My dad got so pissed. I let this guy's tea... Accidentally, right, this whole hot cup of hot tea fall down this guy's leg. He's sitting there screaming and yelling. He said he wasn't mad at me, but it was a really stupid bitch thing to do. Boy. He stopped talking about pain being an illusion.
- Jeanie: [to Annie] If you're gonna stay with me, you gotta go by the rules! And the rules are we're gonna get through this fucking high school! We're gonna pay back Jay and get jobs and a bunch of shit like that! And if you don't like it, that's just tough shit! 'Cause that's the way life is and you better learn eat a little! And I'm not coming back for you every time you goddamn blow it!
