Quotes 

• [Sara's holding a gun to her head] 

  Sara : Ok, heres the point in the story where I have this cathartic revelation that suicide's wrong, that life's worth living and everything'll be OK. Yeah, right. And that's why this story doesn't work!

  [Throws the gun down] 

  Sara : 'Cause I just don't buy it.

  Julie : Nobody buys it, but that's not why you go on.

  Sara : Why then?

  The Maxx : Because things'll change. You'll change.

  Sara : What about right now?

  Julie : Right now, you wait.

• Julie : You, however, have a problem with women.

  Mr. Gone : [scoff]  How perceptive... did you figure that one out when I kidnapped you, or tied you up with leather straps? OF COURSE I'VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH WOMEN!

• The Maxx : Funny, but I keep seeing that doll she made of Mr. Gone... beheaded! That must mean something. The things that could be under my mask... .

  Julie : Look, Maxx, that freak nearly killed us. And just because you imagine you have a rabbit's head in the Outback is certainly no reason to fear you might actually have one here. It's so classic, Maxx. You see yourself as some jungle avenger because in your in real life you're powerless. And I can't blame you. We all need some place to go away to; some place we can be who we should have been instead of who we are; some safe place where we can escape reality. Hide. I know there are things to hide from.

  The Maxx : My mask. I can feel it crawling... .

  Julie : Shush.

  The Maxx : Please! Make it stop!

  Julie : Just rest now. It's okay. It's okay.

• Julie : At least in his dreams he's some kind of superhero. Boy this city's full of people who are experts at avoiding reality, and with good reason. I'm not sure any of us wants to know what goes on at 3am in some stink ridden ally. God know who doing god know what. Best not to think about it, just push it down and go on

• Julie : This doll is telling me things I don't want to hear and if it doesn't shut up in going brush it's head, I'm going to brush and brush until I brush off it's head.

• Julie : Cartoons are so pretentious.

• Julie : I can't believe you want to get involved in that censorship crap.

• Sara : Mom called, said to call if you needed anything.

  Julie : Great. Hey, when you talked to your mom, did you happen to mention that there's a slight chance this entire world is all my dream and if I wake up it could end everything.

  Sara : Well I might have left that part out.

  Julie : Just as well, it's not exactly my favorite part.
