Now and Then

Teeny: The homerun mama steps up to the plate! [Explaining sex to her daughter.] Chrissy's Mom: All women have a garden, and a garden needs a big hose to water it... or a small hose... as long as it works. Scott: Uh, Roberta, um... I was just wonderin'... uh... canIkissyou? Roberta: What are you mumbling? Scott: Uh, I wanted to know... can I kiss you? Samantha: If you don't fall in love, you can't get hurt. Roberta: But it sure is lonely all by yourself. Teeny: Roberta, truth or dare? Roberta: Truth. Teeny: Just how big are your boobs now? Roberta: Drop dead. Teeny: She has to say, doesn't she, Sam? Samantha: She doesn't have to say if she doesn't want to. Teeny: Then can we see them? Roberta: No, you can't see them! Samantha: Mr. Kent? Bud: Oh please, call me Bud. Samantha: Bug? Bud: No, Bud, B-U-D. Bud. Samantha: Oh. Well, BuD, you have a piece of food stuck between your teeth. Vietnam Veteran: I'm going to tell you something i wish someone would have told me when I was your age. Chrissy: Oh yeah? What's that? Vietnam Veteran: Your parents aren't always right. Samantha: No shit. Chrissy: It's not very big. Roberta: It's only big when a guy has a hard on. Teeny: And when it does, it gets this big. Chrissy: What's a hard on? Samantha: Doesn't your mother tell you anything? Chrissy: I'm beginning to think she's been misinformed. Teeny: Chrissy, truth or dare? Chrissy: Truth. Teeny: Have you ever been french kissed? Chrissy: Are you kidding? I don't want to get pregnant! Bully: Why don't you go home and play with your dolls. Chrissy: The only doll Roberta's got is a G.I. Joe! Chrissy: Let's make a pact. Here and now; we're here for each other always. Samantha: I decided not to tell the others about my father, call me a fool but I actually thought he'd be back, a wishful notion I held onto for years. At the time no one in The Gaslight Edition had gotten a divorce and the last thing I wanted was to be different from my friends. Crazy Pete: I don't want to see a lot of people, I don't think they want to see a lot of me. Roberta: Scott? Scott: Yeah? Roberta: If you tell anyone about this, especially your brothers, I'll beat the shit out of you. Teeny: It's normal for things to be shitty. Roberta: ...Perky breasts! Chrissy: Roberta, you know I don't like it when you swear. Roberta: Chrissy, breast is not a dirty word. Chrissy: I can't hear you. Roberta: Breast. Chrissy: Can't hear you. Roberta: Breast. Chrissy: Can't hear you. Roberta: BREAST! Samantha: As we grow older, it becomes difficult to just believe. It's not that we don't want to, but too much has happened that we just can't. Samantha: We all used to try so hard to fit in. We wanted to look exactly alike, do all the same things, practically be the same person, but when we weren't looking that all changed. The tree house was supposed to bring us more independence, but what the summer actually brought was independence from each other. Crazy Pete: Things will happen in your life that you can't stop. But that's no reason to shut out the world. [After Roberta punches Chrissy in the arm] Chrissy: Ow! That hurt. Roberta: Yea, well, maybe you deserved it fart-ass! Chrissy: For ten tree house Dollars I'd feel it to! Teeny: Roberta, truth or dare? Roberta: "Truth. Teeny: Just how big are your boobs nows? Roberta: Well just how big are your boobs? Teeny: 36D and worth every penny. Roberta: D, who knew? Chrissy: It makes me look fat. Teeny: You ARE fat. Chrissy: I am NOT fat!
