Quotes
from Lost and Delirious:
- Mary
'Mouse' Bedford:
"I felt like a gray mouse heading straight for the mouth of a cat,
and there was nothing, nothing I could do about it."
- Victoria
'Tori' Moller:
"Hey! Look, I know it's weird at first. But now, this is much more
home to me than home. Like the lost boys in Peter Pan, right? Except we
are the lost girls, right? Lost and Delirious."
- Mary
'Mouse' Bedford:
"Before that day, I never knew what people meant when they said they
had 'fun'. I was like, some kind of Dr. Spock. And what is this 'fun'? I
dunno. It was like she kinda put a spell on me. And all that foreboding,
that feeling I had, just kind of vanished."
- Pauline
'Paulie' Oster:
"Well, now you're one of the lost girls. Welcome to the club...Come
on, help me spike the punch; let's get this party off it's butt! Rage more..."

"Gabbing? I consider that word a punch in the face, Ms. Bennet. It's
a word males use to shut us down; to trivialize our talking to each other.
You wanna be a part of that shit? Huh?"

'Mouse' Bedford:
"II wasn’t really sure what I had just seen. I know this sounds, like,
naive, but at first, I mean, I thought they were like, practicing for boys.
Up in Rainy River you see, nothing had really changed since the fifties."
- Mary
'Mouse' Bedford:
"I don't know if they didn't know I could hear, or just pretended they
didn't know. But after a while, it was kind of, I don't know, okay. Their
sounds,
their whispers, their shadows became kind of, well, just like part of my
dreams or something. Just the way things were."
- Mary
'Mouse' Bedford:
"Until that night, I had never had any feeling down there at all. I
was, a kind of wooden doll, without blood in my body. But that night, that
night I
started to feel the blood moving."
- Pauline
'Paulie' Oster:
"Bedford, this is a dark day..."
- Victoria
'Tori' Moller:
"I mean I love Paulie, you know that I do. She's my best friend in
the world and probably the only person that I will ever love like, like
in the way that...Cleopatra" [crying]
- Victoria
'Tori' Moller:
"And to hurt her, its like I'm choking, like I'm not in the breathing
world. But there's this life that I am supposed to live, this dream that
my mother and father had for me and even though it is killing me Mary, I
can't ever be with Paulie ever, not
ever, ever again."
- Pauline
'Paulie' Oster:
"In her eyes, that brightness, ay?...Just like my fake mother. That
brightness when she lies..."

"Liar! Liar, Liar, Liar! You've all got your heads up your assholes
because love is. It just is and nothing you can say can make it go away
because it is the point of why we are here, it is the highest point and
once you are up there, looking down on everyone else, you're there forever.
Because if you move, right, you fall. You fall."
- Mary
'Mouse' Bedford:

- Mary
'Mouse' Bedford:
"You ever know someone who changed? Like the change from this to the
winter freeze?"
Joe Menzies: "Grass comes back every spring, green as ever. I guess
people can too."
