Secret Thoughts at
Kathie's July 4th Picnic

Carrie:  "Oh, God, I just wish I could keep my hair like this forever!"

Betsy:  "Shit, I could've been at home,
I could've gone to a movie,
I could be eating good food at my mom's house,
or with any luck,
I might've been invited to Jami and Graham Nichols' for the day.
Shit."

Betsy:  "I have never seen anybody dressed like that, even if it is a holiday."
Carrie:  "I just hope I have enough sense not to do that when I'm her age."

Susan:  "I think I'll just try this one more time."
Phyllis:  "If she puts her hand on my knee again, I'm leaving.
Accidental contact, my eye."

Carrie:  "Surely I don't have to eat these things again this week."
Anesti:  "I love American stuff, like the fourth of July,
but screw this watermelon crap."

Kathie:  "PhD or not, she will respect my authori-tie."
Susan:  "Good cook or not, to hell with her authori-tie."

Phyllis:  "At least I know Kathie likes me better than her."
Kathie:  God knows, this is the last time I go through all this shit—and for what?"
Susan:  "If she puts her hand on my knee again, I'm leaving.
Accidental contact, my eye."

Christopher:  "I wish to God dad had never gotten that mother-fucking camera."

Carrie:  "If only I could sleep, even for just five minutes."
Christopher:  "Just five more minutes, and Carrie and I can be alone."
Anesti:  "I am an American, and proud of it.  Oh yeah, and I hate Bush."

Christopher:  "I wish to God dad had never gotten that mother-fucking camera."
Anesti:  "If he doesn't keep that damned cat away from me, I'm leaving."
Azzie:  "God, I hate intruders.  God, I hate intruders.  God, I hate intruders."
