From "Malled" (1.05):
[The class is on a field trip to a giant mall, and the teacher is struggling to navigate the map.]
Mrs. Bennett: We'll walk down R-mauve, and turn right at Q-canary. Please keep the flow, people, please keep the flow. Left at N-cranberry. Wait, is that cranberry or magenta? Jane, you're an artist...
Jane: It's cran-apple.

From "Cafe Disaffecto" (1.04):
[Daria has to sell chocolate bars door-to-door for a school fundraiser. She's trying to convince her friend Jane to help her.]
Jane: No way baby.
Daria: Come on. Do it for friendship.
Jane: I have no friends. I walk alone.
Daria: Well, then do it for sisterhood or something.
Jane: Are you nuts?
Daria: Then do it for the opportunity to look inside people's houses and find out what screwed up tastes they have.
Jane: I'm bringing a Polaroid.

From "Is It College Yet?":
[Jane just told her brother, Trent, that she's going to college.]
Trent: What about focusing on your art?
Jane: See, I can do that at Boston Fine Arts College. That's why they put in the word "arts." Come on, let's go.
Trent: I don't know. I have to get used to this whole selling out thing first.
Jane: Trent, I'm not selling out. I'm attempting to acquire the skills and knowledge that will allow me to sell out.

From "Ill" (2.09):
Daria: Look, I'm sorry about last night.
Jane: Ah, forget it. It was a rare opportunity: getting to hang out with Brittany in a grunge club. Although her hair [dye] did leak onto my shoes.
Daria: You're sure that wasn't her brain?
Jane: Nah, there was too much of it.

From "Is It Fall Yet?":
Mr. DeMartino: Well, students... I certainly appreciate your help in cleaning out the classroom for the summer. It almost makes me forget that most of you didn't learn a thing all year!
Daria: That's not true. I learned to sleep sitting up.

From "I Loathe a Parade" (4.06):
Tad: I also like it when they throw candy from the floats.
Daria: Since when do you eat candy? You told me it was poison.
Tad: Oh, it is, but every piece I catch is one cavity some other boy or girl will never get. That's what makes it so rewarding.
Daria: Tad, when you brush your teeth, do you ever scrub right through to your brain?
Tad: I also like it when they throw candy from the floats.

Trent: Listen, I got to get to rehearsal. I'm late.
Daria: How do you know? You don't wear a watch.

Daria: You know, Trent, somehow that makes perfect sense.

From "Quinn the Brain":
[Quinn has abandoned her cute, pink outfits to dress in black...]
Daria: Did a mime crawl in here and die?
Quinn: I'm putting together an outfit. For your information, this is how deep people dress.
Daria: Yeah, deeply affected people.
Quinn: Thank you. By the way, do you know what existential means? Because today someone told me my writing was existential, so I thought I should coordinate, you know, with wardrobe.
Daria: Yeah, that's what Camus would have done. For your purposes, existential means "pseudo-intellectual poser with accessories from the street fair."

From "The Teachings of Don Jake" (1.12):
[The family is taking turns telling scary stories around the campfire...]
Quinn: So Cinderella said, "I can't go to the ball in these rags." And her fairy godmother waved her wand and behold, she was wearing a gown of silver and gold. Big clunky silver and gold sequins, like you wouldn't wear to one of those seventies nostalgia proms, much less a formal party at a palace. And when she went to check out herself in the mirror, the one that usually made her look thin, instead she looked bloated!
Helen: Quinn, honey, is this really a scary story?
Quinn: Wait! I haven't gotten to the shoes yet!

[In English class...]
Mr. O'Neill: Is Mr. Thoreau really turning his back on the world by moving to Walden Pond, or is he, by his example, trying desperately to save the world after all? [Brittany]?
Brittany: He wasn't on Walden Pond because he hated the world. He was just mad at Jane Fonda. You know, he was her father in real life, too.

From "Lucky Strike" (5.06):
Daria: Okay. We know Mr. O'Neill assigned a play, and you're pretty sure the title didn't contain the word "alien." Do you remember anything else?
Joey: Uh, I think the guy on the cover was wearing tights.
Daria: Hmm. Since there are no wrestling dramas on the syllabus, I'm guessing Shakespeare.
Jeffy: Wait, I remember now. He's a stalker. He follows girls home from parties and peeks in their windows.
Daria: Romeo and Juliet.

Mr. O'Neill: [How did your assignment go,] Jodie?
Jodie: I failed to convince my mother and father to let me have this summer off.
Mr. O'Neill: Excellent! And see, you've learned that failure isn't so bad now, is it?
Jodie: No, I've learned that my parents would rather I dropped from exhaustion than missed the opportunity to shred some congressman's incriminating phone bills.

From "College Bored" (episode 1.03):
[Daria helps a college student with an essay for school...]
Daria: Okay, look, I'm not going to rewrite this paper for you, but I will give you a couple of tips that will help you rewrite it. First, the book title Sons and Lovers does not have an apostrophe in it... anywhere. Second, unless your ex-boyfriend is an authority on D.H. Lawrence, don't base your thesis on something he said while making out.
College Girl: Mm. What about something he said when we broke up?
Daria: No.
College Girl: Mmm. Okay, thanks. [hands Daria money and leaves]
Daria: Thank you, and good luck with the doctorate.
