- Emily Dickinson: Parties are supposed to be a disaster, Austin. Parties are like shipwrecks: you should emerge from them soaking wet, out of breath and helplessly disoriented.
- Emily Dickinson: Bee! I was hoping you'd come!
- Bee: What's up?
- Emily Dickinson: How did you get inside?
- Bee: Girl, I flew through the window.
- Emily Dickinson: Will you dance with me?
- Sue Gilbert: Why are you in Lavinia's room?
- Emily Dickinson: I got lost. And now I'm in this ribbon-infested hellscape. Ow!
- Sue Gilbert: Are you dying?
- Emily Dickinson: I hope so.
- Sue Gilbert: You took too much of that stuff, I told you.
- Emily Dickinson: Life is an endless sea of pain.
- Sue Gilbert: Emily, what is wrong?
- Emily Dickinson: I got my period.
