Jaye : Do you think crazy people know they're crazy?

Mahandra McGinty : Um, give me context.
Jaye : You know that vending machine that makes little wax animals?

Mahandra McGinty : Mm-hmm.
Jaye : And it talked to me.
Mahandra McGinty : What did it say?

Jaye : Yeah.
Mahandra McGinty : There you go.

Jaye : I ran into Gretchen Speck today. Her hair looked like carpet.
Mahandra McGinty : I always hated her. Remember when she wiped her ass with Margaret Wayne's gym towel?
Jaye : Oh, yeah. That was really mean.
Mahandra McGinty : Yeah.
Jaye : Mm. I fainted today.
Mahandra McGinty : What?
Jaye : Word on the street is it's stress.
Mahandra McGinty : You don't have stress.
Jaye : I have lots of stress. I work retail. And by the way, the mouth-breather is now my boss. Should've seen my mother when she found out. Looked like she'd just dried her face with Margaret Wayne's gym towel. I think I actually enjoyed telling her.

Mahandra McGinty : I think it's natural to embody the world around us with consciousness.
Jaye : You do?
Mahandra McGinty : Yeah. It's all that tree-hugging crap. Like, when the Native Americans...
Jaye : Indians.
Mahandra McGinty : Like when Indians say that everything has a soul; the wind, your cell phone, the little smooshed-face lion. They all have souls.
Jaye : Uh-huh. But when I say it talked to me, I mean it opened its mouth and words came out.
Mahandra McGinty : I know.
Jaye : It blinked.
Mahandra McGinty : I'm sure it did.
Jaye : And you don't have a problem with that?
Mahandra McGinty : Do you?

Mahandra McGinty : You're spiteful in a way the definition of spiteful doesn't quite prepare you for.
