GIRL INTERRUPTED

Sometimes the only way to stay sane is to go a little crazy.
"How am
I supposed to recover when I don't even understand my disease?"
-- Susanna
"If I could have any job in the world I'd be a professional Cinderella."
-- Lisa
"You
know, I can take a lot of crazy shit from a lot of crazy people - but you... you
are not crazy."
"Then what's wrong with me, huh? What the fuck is going on inside my head? Tell
me, Dr. Val. What's your diag-nonsense?"
"You are a lazy, self-indulgent little girl, who is driving herself crazy."
--
Valerie and Susanna

"Susanna, four days ago...
you chased a bottle of aspirin, with a bottle of vodka."
"I had a headache."

Dr. Crumble and Susanna
"Now what kind of a tree can you be, Janet, down there on the floor?"
"I'm a fucking shrub, all right?"

Instructor and Janet
"When they built this
place they put the tunnels in so the loons didn't have to go anywhere in the
cold."
"I must've missed that in the brochure."

Janet and Susanna
"Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy."

Susanna
"You know, taking us for
ice creams in a blizzard... makes you wonder who the real whack jobs are."

Susanna
"I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside."

Susanna
"No one cares if you die, Lisa, because you're dead already. Your heart is cold. That's why you keep coming back here. You're not free. You need this place to feel alive. It's pathetic."
-- Susanna
