Quotes edit
-
“Her life had toilet-bound stamped all over it”
-
“She didn't know which was worse: licking a toad to get high or carrying around a toad just to be weird”
-
“You don't want to piss me off. I eat thinks bigger than you in the dead of night.”
Goth Girl -
“A .... unicorn.”
Kylie -
“I'm here because of her? That woman is..." Kylie leaned closer, almost as if whispering might make it less of an insult. "She's a few fries short of a Happy Meal”
Kylie -
“She'd heard Della and Miranda come in and listened to see if the two of them were still planning to kill eachother. Hey, if she was going to have to wake up to a bloody mess, she wanted to be prepared.”
Kylie -
“I mean, if you are about to tell me something like I'm dead, that I need to start acquiring taste for blood and I can't even eat sushi, I won't be able to handle it. Or if you're going to tell me that I'm going to start howling at the moon, eating people's cats, and will spend the rest of my life having to get waxed if I want to wear a bathing suit, then I don't think I can handle it, either. I like cats and I tried waxing once, and that hurt like a son of a gun.”
Kylie -
“Gross, I checked out his privates”
Kylie -
“No, as in I didnt wake up screaming bloody murder. I just passed out when a bloody ghost showed up for a visit. After a visit from a shape-shifting kitten and a perverted toad.”
Kylie -
“If looks could kill, Kylie would be a hair away from decomposing.”
Kylie -
“You threatened to sell her blood on eBay," Kylie said. "Where I come from, that qualifies as a fight.”
Kylie -
“Oh damn, she already had a headache -- she didn't want to add "get tortured" to today's to-do list.”
Kylie -
“Kylie thought hell would be announcing a snow day before she agreed with anything her mom said.”
Kylie -
“In case you don't know what body part I'm referring to, let's just say the next time you turn yourself into a kitten, you'll find you've been neutered.”
Kylie -
“I'm not attuned to what a horny bird smells like.”
Della -
“I mean, how could he deny doing it? His hand was stuck to the crime scene.”
Della -
“Oh, hell, you think I'm going to let him bite me? No way. It's too risky and way too gay.”
Derek -
“No, you don't look stupid. But you are making assumptions without all the facts, and that's not a sign of intelligence.”
Lucas -
“She's a serial kisser. I think her parents are french.”
Derek -
“Easy is no fun. As much as I hate admitting it, if men were easy to figure out, they probably wouldn't be as much fun as they are.”
Holiday -
“Why are you apologizing? Are you having an affair too? I swear, if you're dating someone my age, I'm divorcing both of you"”
Kylie -
“Why does romance have to be so complicated?" Kylie blurted out as she barged into Holiday's office later that night... "Good question," Holiday answered. "I personally think the gods did it just to piss us off”
Kylie, Holiday -
“And then there's Daniel," Kylie seethed. "Now that I need him to show back up so I can ask him what the hell I am, he's not cooperating. He's off playing golf or poker with St. Peter or whatever men do in heaven. Or heck, maybe he's found himself some hot too-young girlfriend like my dad has and decided to drop me in the grease.”
Kylie -
“Just because a guy rings your bell, doesn't mean you have to toot his horn.”
Holiday
-
“Just because a guy rings your bell, doesn’t mean you have to toot his horn.”

“Nope. That’s the tricky thing about love. It walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and smells like a duck. But after you sleep with it a month or so, or get dumped at the altar by it, it starts smelling more like a skunk.”
