Brian

OK! Jordan's turn...

"You are so beautiful, it hurts to look at you."
-preferably, the one Rayanne says, when her and Angela are in the back of the police car.

"Once upon a time there lived a girl. She slept in a lovely cottage made of gingerbread and candy. She was always asleep. One morning she woke up. She woke up."
- Angela's VO, quoting her poem "A Fable"



~*Rickie: Look! We all know what's going on around here okay? ..which is that you (Rayanne) are jealous..
Rayanne: What?!
Rickie: And you (Angela), you are totally flipped because Rayanne finally did something nice for once in her life..
Rayanne: Hey!
Rickie: Which she did, by taking Sharon to go visit her dad. And now both of you just want to be sure that you both still are friends, which you are, so shut up! (Angela laughs)
Rayanne : Let's kill him.. (They chase Rickie) Say your prayers Vasquez!*~

And finally...the truth about tarot cards:
"AngelaVO: Each card has a name. The magician [Graham], the Empress [Vivian], The Fool [Danielle], The Wheel of Fortune [an old couple dancing], Strength [Patty]...They represent challenges and tests. [Patty kisses Graham] Twists of fate. [Cut to Rayanne in the hospital. Amber sits by her side, holding her hand.] No card is all good or all bad. Cards can be positive or negative, depending on where they fall. [Cut to Angela sitting in her window reading Amber's tarot book] When you read someone's future, they must think of a question. They must hold it in their mind. The cards are read in sequence. Each card leads to the next. We move from terror and loss to unexpected good fortune. And out of darkness, hope is born. [Fade to white]"

~*Jordan
Yeah, later...MUCH.

He says to her not to take her turns too fast, and then he ends it sweetly by saying softly, "I'm sure you won't." Makes my heart melt every time!!

didn't he say "don't take your turns too wide"? Maybe it was "fast" but I could have sworn it was wide.

Sorry.

Jordan: "Why are you like that?"
Angela: "Like what?"
Jordan: "Like, the way you are."
Rayanne: "Angela, tell them. Didn't we have a time?"
Angela: "Yeah, we did. We had a time."

Katy I LOVE that quote..."No one should hate...who they are."

Breaks my heart everytime :cry:

Also like "...Boys are less afraid...of being wrong." I think it's in Self Esteem, when she's (Angela) talking about how boys always shout out the answers...even if they're wrong.

Gotta say this is one of the best threads I've run into since I've started coming to this whole forum. Thanks man! :cry: I KNEW there was a reason we all fought so hard for those dvds. I just got through reading ALL of your chosen quotes and I may have to start watching my set again :D I was taking a break, so as to savor...

Anyway, this is great and just made my night.

Three of my favorite quotes:

Pilot:
Rayanne: So you wanna have sex with him?
Angela: Who?
Rayanne: Who? Jordan.....Catalano? Come on, I'm not gonna tell anyone, just admit it.
Angela: I just how he's always leaning......against stuff......he leans great. Well, either sex or a conversation, ideally both.

Dancing In The Dark:
Angela: So how did he act? Did he act bored or......
Rayanne: He flopped on the floor uncontrollably, okay? Rickie had to hold down his tounge...
Rickie... And I wasn't even there!

On The Wagon:
Rayanne: I'm squeaky clean like a rubber ducky.
"He flopped on the floor uncontrollably, okay? Rickie had to hold down his tounge..."
"...And I wasn't even there!"

I'm surprised no one's mentioned this one, it's my absolute favorite, because I know exactly what she means, & how she feels.

Angela: "See there's thinking about him, right? Which is what I do, all the time, like, like this..."
Rickie: "Obsession."
Rayanne: "Right, so?"
Angela: "So, ... it keeps me going or something, like, I need it just to get through the day, it's, it's just..."
Rickie: "It's an obsession."
Angela: "Right, an, and if you make it real, it's, it's not the same, it's not, it's not yours anymore. I, I don't know, maybe I'd rather have the fantasy than even him."

I also love the rest of the comnversation (Rayanne: You want Jordan Catalano...), but that's my favortie part.

Another thing I liked was how they said everyone's full name so often, especially Jordan's, heh, it sounds weird to me whenever I hear the name Jordan without Catalano after it.

it's funny, but I never noticed this quote until the new quote banner on the forum. with it isolated like that, I finally looked at it's meaning beyond the literal. ah, what insight into Brian, and at such an early stage of the show.
