Daria Quote
Daria Morgendorffer: ...so that's it. Of all the guys in the world to kiss, I pick the one who's going out with my best friend. Now I don't know what's going on, I have nobody to talk to about it, and that's why I came to you.
Helen Barksdale Morgendorffer: Oh.
Daria Morgendorffer: I didn't mean it that way.
Helen Barksdale Morgendorffer: Oh. Well, it's not easy being a teenager, Daria. You have all these new feelings and sensations...
Daria Morgendorffer: Mom, spare me the puberty speech. I kissed my best friend's boyfriend.
Helen Barksdale Morgendorffer: I'm sure it was just a one-time...
Daria Morgendorffer: Twice.
Helen Barksdale Morgendorffer: [sighs] It's a lousy situation, Daria. But you didn't set out to hurt anyone.
Daria Morgendorffer: Neither do those bus drivers who go flying off an embankment on their way to the casino.
Helen Barksdale Morgendorffer: Daria... nobody got killed.
Daria Morgendorffer: No, but I can't imagine how I could have hurt Jane more.
Helen Barksdale Morgendorffer: What about Tom?
Daria Morgendorffer: I'm not thinking about Tom! [sighs]
Daria Morgendorffer: You know... I had everything more or less under control. I'm not saying it was great, but I could deal with school, I could deal with home, and now nothing's under control.
Helen Barksdale Morgendorffer: It never is, sweetie. We just tell ourselves otherwise so we can function.
Daria Morgendorffer: Who came up with that stupid arrangement?
Helen Barksdale Morgendorffer: It's called life.
Helen Barksdale Morgendorffer: Oh.
Daria Morgendorffer: I didn't mean it that way.
