Quotes 

• Jenny : But back to business: eggs, shaving cream, toilet paper. Without candy, I'm afraid your house is a bulls-eye with shingles.

  Zee : Nice try. It's not my house.

  Jenny : Babysitter?

  Zee : Mmm-hmm.

  Jenny : Okay, let's cut the crap. Maybe the parents you work for left you forty dollars in emergency money...

  Zee : Maybe they left me thirty.

  Jenny : Maybe you give me twenty, I write a receipt for thirty, and you pocket ten.

  Zee : Maybe... and I want two extra bags of peanut clusters.

  Jenny : One bag, and I'll toss in a licorice whip.

  Zee : You're good.

• Zee : Now what do you want?

  Jenny : Just trying to get a head-start on life and secure a sucessful future.

  Zee : You want a successful future? When a guy with tattoos comes up to the drive-thru, give him his burger, not your phone number.

• Zee : What is your problem?

  DJ : Uh... puberty! Yeah, I'm having lots and lots of puberty.

• DJ : We haven't left this room once! Not even to go to the bathroom.

  [Points to 2L bottle filled with something] 

  DJ : Don't drink that!

  Zee : Oh gross! Whatever disease you guys have I'm sure its got letters and that they make pills for it!

  DJ : Zee, it's true! There's something evil going on across the street!

  Zee : [Sarcastically]  That's excellent, I'm really happy for you.

• DJ : Can I ask you something?

  Zee : Sure you can cantelope. We are going to have so much fun I have tons of activities...

  DJ : [rolls eyes]  It's okay. They're gone

  Zee : They are? They're gone?

  [takes off her pink sweater and reveals she is wearing a black punk t shirt, unties her hair] 

• Zee : You know, I saw an ambulance here today.

  Bones : So?

  Zee : So, maybe Nebbercracker really did die.

  Bones : We should be so lucky. The guy is evil.

  Zee : Nah, he's just a grouchy old dude.

  Bones : Oh, really, Zee? When I was ten years old, I had a kite. *Awesome* kite. I could fly it so high, you couldn't see it! One day, it crashed down. I followed the string, and it ended right over there, across the street, right at the edge of his lawn.

  Zee : Ohhh...

  [leans in close] 

  Zee : Did he take your kite?

  Bones : Pssh, yeah! He takes whatever lands on his lawn, but that's not the point. The point is that I saw him talking to his house... and kissing it.

  [leans in to kiss Zee, but turns away at the last second] 

  Bones : Besides, everybody knows what he did to his wife.

  Zee : Why? What? What did he do to her?

  Bones : He ate her!

  [growls and tackles Zee off the couch and onto the floor] 

• Zee : Whatever issue you guys have, I'm sure it has letters and they make pills for it.

• Zee : Who called you?

  DJ : Nebbercracker. Ps, he died today.

• [last lines] 

  Zee : Skull's not like you. He makes time for me and gives me the respect I deserve.

  Bones : Whatever.

  Zee : Bones!
