Jessica Biel: Mary Camden

Quotes 

• Mary Camden : [after Annie and Eric find a marijuana joint in Mary's bedroom]  I can't believe you searched my room! What are you, communists? I have rights, you know!

  Annie Camden : I guess I just can't explain this often enough. A right is something that can never be taken away from you. For example, you have the right to be indignant now and I can't take that away, but privacy? Well, privacy is a privilege when you live with your parents and privileges can be taken away. Now, we knew that you were in trouble, but we had no idea that you were this far down the road!

• Rev. Eric Camden : [to Mary]  Have you ever tried smoking marijuana?

  Mary Camden : Well, even if I did, what is so wrong with experimenting? I mean, what's the harm in just trying it? Everybody's gonna try it sometime.

  Rev. Eric Camden : Well, first of all, not everyone. Not me, for example. And secondly, let me see if I can answer the "what's the harm" question. I suppose for some people, nothing ever comes from the fact that they tried smoking pot, but for other people, plenty comes from the fact that they tried smoking pot. Lifelong, illegal habits. The need to try other, harder drugs. Addiction to those drugs. Arrest. Conviction. Jail time. Those kinds of things. The question really is, to which people do you belong? There's no way of knowing. But "experimenting" to find out? That's quite a risk, don't you think? I think it is, especially for someone who's on probation.

• Mary Camden : So what's best for everyone is to ship me off to Siberia to live with old people?

• Lucy Camden : [to Mary]  Please don't leave like this.

  Mary Camden : How did you think I was going to leave? I am being sent off to live with the Colonel and Grandma Ruth in Buffalo! You know what Buffalo is like and you know what they are like! What made you think I was going to be happy, huh? What?

  Lucy Camden : I didn't know anything about it, okay? And maybe Mom and Dad are more concerned with your safety than your happiness!

  Mary Camden : Get out!

  Lucy Camden : Is this how you're gonna say goodbye?

  Mary Camden : Yeah, yeah. This is how I'm gonna say goodbye. And you can tell the rest of them to stay out of here because I don't want to talk to any of you!

• Mary Camden : [to her parents]  I'll meet you in the car!

  [slams the door] 

  Annie Camden : Mary wouldn't leave without saying goodbye to her brothers and sisters, would she?

  Rev. Eric Camden : Don't be surprised if she gets on the plane without even saying goodbye to us.

  Annie Camden : I hate this.
