The Girl For Me Quotes

“Wow. I've never been in... uh..."

"A fag's bedroom before."

"Yeah."

"Well don't touch anything. It's contagious.”
― Failte, The Girl For Me

“... has three different sizes of saucepans, and a dutch-oven. The skillet will be a give-away – too bad, stainless and all - but the sides are just not deep enough to-"

"Fine fine fine – gawd, would you shut up and just buy it? Shees! I'm gonna go look at plates or something..."

"Whoa – hold on there. You think I'm letting you pick out the plates all by yourself? I'm the cook. I get to pick the plates."

"Oh god... I am not eating off Spiderman dishes!”
― Failte, The Girl For Me

“We forgot to get sheets," Danny said.
"And dish-towels... I don't own a single dish-towel!" Kevin added his own problems.
"And bathroom stuff."
"Not even paper towels! God – how could I forget paper towels!"
"I'll start a list... uh... Got anything I can write on?"
"No. Make that first on the list."
"Got anything I can write with?"
"Maybe we'd better just go, Danny... before it gets worse.”

“I said I was sorry, Dani..." Kevin said, as they entered the apartment.

"I'm so not talking to you."

"I couldn't help it! She was so funny, and you were blushing, and... gawd, Dani, I couldn't help it!"

"You just had to get us all soft pretzels, didn't you... just had to make sure we'd walk right by that lingerie store..."

"Dani... it, uh, it hadn't even occurred to me-"

"I hate you! When I go to therapy about this, I'm going to send you the bill!"

"You're beautiful when your angry."

"Then I must be fucking gorgeous right now!"

"You are."

"... Well, I'm still not talking to you.”
― Failte, The Girl For Me

“I'll take these," Danny said, reaching for the bouquet. Just as Kevin was holding them out – and still trying to keep the chocolates from slipping out from under his arm – a flash went off.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Danny's mother apologized, "I just HAD to! It's so CUTE! I'll be going now. I'm going to… clean up the kitchen. I'm sorry! You boys carry on!" she retreated backwards down the hallway, camera still in hand. They could still hear her as she turned the corner, "So CUTE! Oh my GAWD!"

Danny said sheepishly, "Sorry about that."

"Dude... Your mother is..."

"You have no idea. Uhm, I'll take care of these. Maybe you'd better head on up to my room. Like, before she comes back…”

“Kevin", his father began, "I've been thinking about it – I guess I was kind of carried away. It's just that I've waited so long for my old school to make it to the Regionals... I suppose I was living it vicariously through you. Keith says you're not going to fail, after all. Is that right?"

"Looks like I'll make it. I know it's hard to believe..."

"Yes, it is. I was hoping you could get a football scholarship, you know. Something to waive the entrance requirements, because I don't know what college would take you-"

"Yeah. Thanks a lot Dad," Kevin said sarcastically. He already knew what his father thought of him and didn't need to be reminded yet again.

"Oh, come on. You know perfectly well that you're too stupid to-"

"That's not what my boyfriend says. Oh, by the way, Dad – I'm a faggot. Did I mention that?"

"... Kevin – get your stuff, and get out."

"Gladly.”

“You're beautiful when your angry."

"Then I must be fucking gorgeous right now!"

"You are."

"... Well, I'm still not talking to you.”

“GUYS! Would you give it a rest?" Kevin shouted at them, "You're standing there feeding off each other! Dad – you're trying to prove to Ted why me and Dani are a Bad Thing – because you just can't bring yourself to admit that it isn't, even though you can SEE that it isn't! You know it! And Ted – you're pushing my dad's buttons on purpose because you're not so sure yourself how you really feel about us - her, me, any of it! So both of ya just SHUT THE HELL UP!" He turned back towards Dani, "Dani – you're beautiful and I love you – but this wasn't one of your best ideas. Now everyone just be quiet while I hit the stupid little white ball and make it go into the stupid little round hole! GAWD!"

All three of them stared at Kevin while he swung. The stupid little white ball flew straight and high, and landed on the green. Apparently a little focus – no matter what it was directed towards – was just what Kevin needed.”

“Are you kidding me? You're fucking famous for it, man! They call you 'Gay-timus Prime'!"

"Oh great. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard...”
― Failte, The Girl For Me

“Danny smiled, "I love you, Kev."
"'Bout time.”
― Failte, The Girl For Me

“If you want tits - get tits. If you want a vagina - get one. If you want a snowmobile - get a snowmobile. It's not important! Jesus H. Christ on a bicycle!”
― Failte, The Girl For Me

“I just meant that I wish you could just be you. You're great, Danny! You're fuckin' wonderful! Why do you have to be one thing or another? I... I just don't get why its so important to you to call yourself 'boy' or 'girl!”
― Failte, The Girl For Me

“Kevin? Just tell me something: would you really rather have a boyfriend than a girlfriend?"

After several moments, Kevin replied, "You're my girlfriend. And boyfriend. Best of both worlds, Danny!”
― Failte, The Girl For Me

“And you. I only like girls and you.”
― Failte, The Girl For Me

“At the bottom of his pit, one light shone in Kevin's eyes. Of course. Fuck school. Fuck Dad. Fuck football and college and jobs and fags and straights and girls and boys and everyone and everything else - but Danny. I hope you have better luck than I did, that old man had said without saying, walking away with his horrible wife.

Yeah. Yeah, man... I hope so too. And - I think I will.

The weight of the world evaporated from Kevin's shoulders. What was going to be important when his hair turned gray... Not St. Augustine's. Not Dad. Not grades...

Kevin let go of the railing, and stretched himself, a new man. He felt almost as if he were high. Or drunk, but without the sick feeling. "That was good..."

Fuck 'em all... "Hey Danny, you wanna go out sometime?”
― Failte, The Girl For Me

“I was talking about when you said what a great girl I made. You can't imagine how that felt for me. So then you go and say what a great ACTOR I was! How I should get a job as a female-impersonator for god's sake! Goddammit, Kev... Don't you understand? When I'm a girl is the only time I'm NOT 'acting'! All the rest of the time, I am! In school, during football... ALL the damn time, Kev! And when I actually got to spend a day NOT 'acting', you tell me what a great actor I am! How well I can pull it off! Jesus Christ, Kev... you don't understand. Is it that hard? Or is my 'boy act' just SO good that no one can tell...”
― Failte, The Girl For Me

“Twenty minutes. I gotta put my face on."

"No you don't. I don't know why you even use that stuff. You look great as it is. Let's go."

"I... I do?"

Too late, Kevin realized what he'd just said. Aww fuck... was his first reaction. She really did, though. Taking the scrunchie off her hair so that it fell onto her shoulders made more difference than any amount of make-up ever could. Dani was again the girl he'd seen at the party, so many weeks ago. He still remembered that first view of her. In fact, he'd been remembering it every day. So much that he didn't even notice that he thought about it anymore. Until now.”
― Failte, The Girl For Me

“The pieces fell together before Dani got to the stairs - Kevin was straight, and had just... soul-kissed another boy. No wonder he was panicked.”
― Failte, The Girl For Me

“Look, Dani. Daniel. Whatever. I just... I forgot, is all, okay? I mean... you make such a pretty girl, and you act like a girl, and you talk like a girl, and... and I swear to god, Dani, everything about you is just... 'girl', all right? Sometimes - when you're in drag - I forget. 'Cuz it's not just that you're 'a girl', it's that you're this... great girl, y'know? You really are. Everyone can see it, too, not just me. God, I wish you were a girl...”
― Failte, The Girl For Me

“You just say that 'cuz he likes you. -Don't forget the green ones with the teddy-bear on the butt – they're my favorite. He's always liked you. You've never been on his bad side.”
