Turning Red

"[hugging a photo of her and Ming] Mommy, IM SO SORRY!"

"[scolding to her reflection] You are her pride and joy, so ACT LIKE IT! [slaps herself]"

"Tyler is an insecure jerk wad. Words were exchanged. Slightly uncomfortable secrets were revealed."

"Jesse went to art school. Tae Young fosters injured doves. Robaire speaks French. And Aaron T. and Aaron Z. are, like, really talented too. We are 4*Townies, remember? Ride or die!"

"[freaking out when she learns that 4*Towns concert and the red moon ritual are on the same night and realizes she cant be in two places at once] I CANT MISS 4*TOWN! WE WORKED SO HARD! But...but the ritual. ILL LET EVERYONE DOWN!"

"[thinking] Dont look at the notebook, dont look at the notebook, dont! [glances down at her notebook] No!"

"Okay. I know what it looks like. I am my own person, but that doesnt mean doing whatever I want. Like most adults, I have responsibilities. (Dont get me wrong.) Its not all about me, you know? I do make my own moves, its just that… some of my moves are also hers."

"[furiously trying to rip the tapestry of Sun Yee into shreds] YOU CURSED US! ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

"[scolding herself after Ming confronted Devon about her private drawings and being publicly embarrassed] You sicko! What were you thinking?! Why would you draw those things? THOSE HORRIBLE, AWFUL, SEXY THINGS?!"

"Im a gross red monster! [sobs] Stop it! STOP TALKING!"

"[seeing that Tylers a fan of 4*Town] You are a 4*Townie?!"

"I cant be like this forever. My whole family would freak. Especially my mom. All her hopes and dreams are pinned on me."
