Quotes 

• Taylor : Hector, what do my clothes say about me?

  [poses] 

  Hector : They say you go to school.

  Taylor : No, about *me*?

  Hector : They don't say anything about you. You're you, and you're wearing a school uniform.

• Taylor : Marj? Can I ask you a question?

  Mystic Marj : Fire it away, Taylor.

  Taylor : What do *your* clothes say about you?

  Mystic Marj : I'm at the lower end of the economic spectrum? Why do you ask?

  Taylor : Well, you read tea leaves. So, don't people expect you to dress in a certain way?

• [Taylor imagines Saint Joan of Ark in her room after having kicked out her parents and sister] 

  Saint Joan : Psst. Were they the English army?

  Taylor Fry : No. Worse. My family. You thought you had problems.

  Saint Joan : What's your name?

  Taylor Fry : Taylor.

  Saint Joan : Taylor who?

  Taylor Fry : Taylor Fry.

  Saint Joan : Taylor Fry?

  Taylor Fry : I know. Sounds like a... fish dish?

• Glenda Fry : Year six disco is a rite of passage. I remember mine. I wore purple flares.

  [Taylor and Layla glare at each other in disbelief] 

  Glenda Fry : You could almost wear the same thing now. It's a pity I don't still have 'em.

  Taylor : Yeah, bummer!

  Layla : You could probably find a pair in the museum.

  Taylor : Doesn't matter anyway. I'm not going, remember?

  Glenda Fry : Come on.

  [thinking] 

  Glenda Fry : I'll take you shopping. It's a special mother-daughter moment, shopping for your first dance.

  Taylor : No way.

  Glenda Fry : Come on, Taylor, you know you want to.

  Layla : [sarcastically]  Yeah, Taylor, you know you want to.

  Taylor : No. Not a chance. Not ever. I'm not going to the disco, I'm not going shopping with you, no way, not a chance, never!
