Quotable Quotes

"Unhappy girls doing mean things and the wait between the special effects - excruciating at times. Thumbs down for me." - Rae quoting Gene Siskel. And then, "I guess I don't agree with old, square white dudes all the time. Shocking." - Rae

 "The worst dude ever, but he's still so pretty. It's so frustrating. But I feel like that's what it was like to be 16 - you're so pretty but you were like the biggest dick. You're so pretty, and hormones are a-raging." - Rae
