Girl (1998)

Sean Patrick Flanery: Todd Sparrow

Quotes 

• Todd : [sitting down at the piano]  :... I wanna play something for you. It's not finished yet, but... I don't know, I just kinda want you to...

  Andrea : [thinking]  ... get naked?

  Todd : ...hear it anyway.

  [Todd starts singing 4 lines of a sad song] 

  Andrea : [thinking]  He sang with passion, he sang with pain...

  [Todd finished singing] 

  Andrea : [thinking]  ... he sang for about 20 seconds!

• Todd : [singing]  And I will release you from all of your torment, stir up trouble that you can't ignore, and I'll tell the world, I'll tell them a story, tell a story to the world, about a girl...

• Todd : If it was in your soul to do it, then fate would just take you there. And everything else was just a test to see if you were the real thing.

  Todd : [pause]  Are you the real thing, Andrea?

  Andrea : Yes... I am.

• Cybil : [as Andrea is lost to the world, dreaming about her crush Todd]  I'm your friend, right?

  Andrea : [nods dreamily]  Mm.

  Cybil : [scoffs]  Oh man, you are over.

  Andrea : [laughs]  Stick a fork in me.

  Cybil : Yeah, what do you think about his music?

  Andrea : [passionate]  Completely spiritual...!

  Cybil : Congratulations. You discovered life beyond MTV.

  Andrea : [smile fades, dismay]  I think I'm going to be sick.

  [rushing off] 

  Cybil : [quietly re-directing Andrea who is headed wrong way]  That way.

  Andrea : [turns about desperately, finds her way to the bathroom, but dismayed to find the object of her affection there, then, in her mind's voice:]  God help me.

  [fervently tries going back through the door she just slammed shut behind her, but is now locked, then, giving up, turns around goofily, trying hard to regain her composure and look cool, resulting in a very vulnerable look] 

  Andrea : Hi! Ahm, I was just looking for the bathroom.

  [in her mind's voice:] 

  Andrea : This was not the visual I wanted for a first impression.

  Todd : [regarding her, and flanked by coolly smoking vaguely-amused Cara on his left, and bandmate Luke and his girlfriend on the right]  What's your name?

  Andrea : [in her mind's voice:]  Don't panic. Don't panic.

  [trying best to be steady] 

  Andrea : Andrea. My name's Andrea.

  [smiling] 

  Todd : It's all right, Andrea. Everything is all right.

  [she looks at him full of self-doubt] 

  Todd : I'm Todd.

  Andrea : Hi.

  [smiles] 

  Todd : This is Carla...

  [indicating the smoking blonde girl who is giving Andrea a bemused look] 

  Todd : ... and this is Luke...

  [failing to find the girlfriend's name] 

  Todd : well, that's Luke.

  Luke : What's up?

  Andrea : [waving at him gingerly]  Hi, I'm Andrea.

  Todd : So, Andrea, do you want to go to a party with us?

  Andrea : [in her mind's voice:]  I would be unavailable right now, shrouded in mystery. He would always wonder what happened to that girl who had to go to the bathroom.

  [but, speaking out, eagerly:] 

  Andrea : Absolutely!

  Todd : Good. Have you got a car?
