Quote from Halloween

Erin: You should tell her, Clare.

Orla: That you're a lezzie too.
Clare: That's enough!
Erin: This could be your big chance.
Clare: My big chance?
Erin: Well, have you ever even met another lezzie?
Clare: Stop saying lezzie! Just because I'm gay doesn't mean I see every other gay woman as a potential suitor.
Michelle: Aye, keep saying things like "suitor", Clare. That'll help you off-load the old virginity.

Clare: Shut up!

Erin: Or a circus.
Clare: It's not the time for semantics!

Laurie: Clare, what's going on? Give us a second here, would you? You're getting kicked out? What for?
Clare: Fighting.
Laurie: Oh, my God. That's a pity, cos I was sort of planning on kissing you tonight.
Clare: Is that a joke? I mean, cos it's fine. If-if-if-if, if it is a joke. I mean, it's hilarious, but I just wanted to check in case it isn't. [Laurie kisses Clare] OK. Does this mean we're going steady?
Laurie: Heh-heh. Let's maybe see how it goes.
Security Guard: All right, Juliet and Juliet, let's go. Knock it on the head.
Clare: Thank you. I mean, sure! I mean, great! I mean...
Laurie: Bye, Clare.

Erin: Have you made any friends yet?
Clare: [on the phone] A few.
Orla: Are they better than us? [Clare is silent]
Erin: Too long a pause, Clare!
Clare: Better how? Academically, absolutely! They're just very different. Everything's different here. And I get why Mammy wanted to move. Derry just reminded her of Daddy too much. But it's a lot to navigate, girls, you know, the language, the culture, the cuisine.
Erin: You moved to Strabane, Clare. It's 20 minutes down the road on the bus.
Clare: If the traffic's good! Don't roll your eyes at me, Erin.
Orla: How the...?
Clare: I can sense it.
