I WATCHED THIS MOVIE IN HEALTH CLASS. MY TEACHER WAS LIKE "KILLER COMMENT. KILLER COMMENT COMING UP RIGHT NOW. KILLER COMMENT. LISTEN." THAT COMMENT WAS WAS THIS:

SARAH IS ARGUING WITH HER MOTHER. "HE'S NOT MY FATHER! HE'S JUST SOMEONE YOU SLEEP WITH!"

MY WHOLE CLASS FOUND THAT RATHER TITILATING.

"The murderer is the dish who ran away with the spoon? Ingenius!"

I remember that comment when I watched this movie on TV as a child.

Now that I have the DVD, I can relive the experience.

Killer comment, indeed!

Here's an even better line, from Sarah:

"I can quit any time I feel like it. I just don't feel like it."

The other quote is better. And how is that quote titillating?

Theres a new daddy in town. A discipline daddy.

Yeah, that was a really cutting remark. I thought Linda was so great in this movie. Her responses and the way she handled herself in various situations seemed to belie a wisdom, intelligence, and maturity well beyond her supposed 15 years. My favorite was when she was at that party sitting alone and that girl who wanted to get under her skin came over and asked if she was looking for the Mark Hamill character. She says, "No, I'm not. Excuse me." and just walks away. Such a stone cold perfect response to that kind of petty instigation.
