Quote #7

SAM: I can't believe I'm such a jerk. He smiles at me and I don't say anything. And I can't believe I gave my panties to the geek.

Quote #8

SAM: I have to go to this wedding and look like Miss Pretty Princess in this dipshit bridesmaid's dress. I don't even have 1/10th of the bod to fill the stupid bust up. So, what, should I just waste myself and spare the agony?

We hoped Sam would get over her body issues by the end of the movie, but we'll cut her some slack. It's only been about thirty-six hours. Hopefully as she continues to mature, she'll accept who she really is.
