Quotes 

• Pauline Fleming : Whether to kill yourself or not is one of the most important decisions a teenager can make.

• Pauline Fleming : Now... it seems we were in a similar position on Monday when I thoughtfully suggested we get everybody together for an unadulterated emotional outpouring. But no. You took this as an opportunity to play yet another round of "let's laugh at the hippie."

  Counselor Paul Hyde : Pauline...

  Principal : Shut up, Paul. Now I've seen a lot of bullshit. Angel dust. Switchblades. Sexually perverse photography exibits involving tennis rackets. But this suicide thing... guess that's more on Pauline's wavelength. Well, we're gonna just write off today. And on Friday she can hold her little "love-in" or... whatever. Whatever.

• Pauline Fleming : I find it profoundly disturbing that we're told that the tragic destruction of youth, and all we can think to talk about is adequate morning times and mis-used vocabulary words? We must revel in this revealing moment. Look, I suggest that we get everybody together - both students and teachers - in the cafeteria, and just talk and feel together!

  Principal : Thank you, Miss Fleming, you call me when the shuttle lands.

• Pauline Fleming : I think it's a good opportunity to share the... feelings that this suicide has spurred in all of us. Now, who would like to begin?

  Female Stoner : I heard it was really gnarly. She sucked down a bowl of multi-purpose deodorizing disinfectant, and then SMASH.

  Pauline Fleming : Now Tracey, let's not rehash the coroner's report. Let's talk emotions.
