"Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience prove you wrong. Remember, when the emperor looks naked, the emperor is naked. The truth and a lie are not sort of the same thing. And there is no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza."
—Daria Morgendorffer, final lines.
Jane: Daria? Come on, the neighbors are starting to talk. Daria: Um... good. Soon they'll progress to cave drawings and civilization will be on its way.
Brittany: I can't stand this. What was I thinking? Daria: Brittany? Brittany: All right, so Kevin is a stupid, selfish, conceited jerk. He's still better than Terry or Jerry or whatever his name is and this stupid club. Daria: Who's Terry or Jerry? Brittany: Oh, no! I've said too much! Eww. What happened to your neck? Daria: Huh? Brittany: Your neck. It's all, like, blotchy. Daria: Ugh. I don't know. Brittany: I'm not surprised you could catch something in a horrible place like this. Daria - Uh, Brittany, could you do me a favor? Brittany:Um... yes? Daria: Find Jane and tell her I had to leave? Brittany: Sure, but... will you promise not to tell Kevin about Terry or Jerry or whoever? Daria: In the unlikely event that, through some bizarre set of circumstances, I actually end up conversing with Kevin, I won't tell him about Terry or Jerry. Brittany: Thanks!
Daria: Don't worry. I don't have low self-esteem. It's a mistake. Jake: I'll say! Daria: I have low esteem for everyone else.
