Starr & Markko [2007-2008]
[Markko has just asked Starr to prom]
Markko: Come on, don't keep a guy hanging.
Starr: Sure. Um -- I'll go with you. Why not?
Markko: Once more with feeling?
Starr: I would love to go to prom with you.
Markko: Sweet. Then it's a date.
Starr: Markko is picking me up in two hours.
Dorian: Is that his name?
Starr: Yeah, with two K's.
Dorian: Oh, how original.
Starr: It's like "Starr" with two R's.
Markko: "Carnivore Cruise XIII: A Night to Dismember" -- it just came out.
Starr: No way -- I loved the first 12!
[Langston and Markko arrive at La Boulaie]
Langston: (to Starr) We came as fast as we could.
Markko: What happened? Langston said you didn't sound so good.
Starr: Um --
Langston: Oh, right. (to Markko) Um -- hey, how about that pool in the back that I was telling you about, yeah?
Markko: Are you ditching me?
Langston: Do you need a lifeguard?
Markko: Fine -- go comb each other's hair. But just so you know, I was down to listen or cheer you up or give advice. Whatever.
Markko: (about Todd and Blair) What, three good nights and they're headed to Vegas to get remarried?
Langston: They've been married, like, a million times.
Starr: Three and a half.
Markko: "Half"?
Starr: It's a long story.
Starr: (about Langston) She loves sunflowers.
Markko: Oh, really? I thought she'd be into black roses or something.
Starr: The thing is about Langston is that she has this gothic shell, but inside she's really gooey.
[Starr is worried after Marcie goes on the run with baby Sam]
Markko: (about Michael) You got to feel for the guy.
Starr: Why?
Markko: Well, he obviously has no idea where his wife is, or Tommy.
Starr: And whose fault is that? He's known for months that Tommy was my dad's son and he wasn't going to tell anyone, Markko.
[The teens are playing Charades and it's Starr's turn to act something out while Markko guesses]
Markko: Uh, you're a crazy person. Um -- "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"? Your Grandma Addie?
Starr: Well, at least this gives us a little time to talk. We never really get to talk, just the two of us.
Markko: Yeah, did we ever talk, just the two of us?
Starr: Well, maybe we should start.
Starr: So you haven't noticed anything weird between Langston and Cole lately?
Markko: Well, Langston's always weird. I'd notice if she was normal.
[Starr and Markko are at the surprise party that Cole and Langston threw for her]
Starr: I just still can't believe it.
Markko: What?
Starr: That this whole surprise birthday party was all pulled off. I had no idea.
Markko: That's how surprise parties are supposed to work.
Starr: Oh, my gosh. I have a brilliant idea -- I know exactly what I'm going to do for Cole.
Markko: Whoa -- don't tell me. You're going to show up on his doorstep in, like, a really skimpy bikini?
Starr: Yeah, even though it's, like, totally winter?
[Starr and Markko return to La Boulaie with bags of grocery store items]
Markko: I should've known your plan would involve shopping.
[Markko and Starr try to make pasta]
Markko: I'm not sure I've ever even tasted sauce from scratch before.
Starr: Ooh, well, it shouldn't be too hard.
Markko: I thought you said you and Cole made this before.
Starr: Well, Cole kind of made it and I watched.
Markko: All right, this is going to be interesting.
[Starr panics while trying to boil a pot of water]
Starr: Oh my gosh! Markko, what did I do?
Markko: It's okay, it's okay. You know, boiling water can be mad burly sometimes. I bet even Rachael Ray's blown it once or twice.
Starr: Oh, my gosh, yeah, sure. And, like, you're Emeril Lugosi.
Markko: Huh, "Lugosi" -- Lagasse. Lugosi's the dude who did Dracula.
Starr: Okay, well, shut up and get me the fuglaci.
Markko: Fusilli!
Starr: Whatever!
[Markko samples the pasta that Starr made]
Starr: I kind of used the Prego -- from the gift bags. But please, do not tell Cole. I want him to think that I made it homemade.
Markko: Aw. Cole is going to think you're the bossest girlfriend ever when he tastes this.
Starr: Yeah, right.
[Starr finds out that Cole fought with Zack over her]
Markko: Two guys fighting over you -- it's pretty romantic, huh? But I'm sorry to say, I -- I don't think this is going to have the happy ending like those chick flicks Langston drags me to.
Starr: I know. Believe me.
[Starr isn't dealing well with her pregnancy]
Starr: It's just the morning sickness again. It's such a joke. You know what they should call it? They should call it queasiness 24/7 with random outbreaks of bitchiness syndrome.
Langston: Ok, that's way too long.
Markko: No, wait, how about "q-rob 24/7"?
Starr: Shut up.
[Starr opens up to Markko after the speech she gave her classmates about teen pregnancy]
Starr: I never really liked assemblies, but what really sucked was being the whole school's sex education visual and audio aid.
Markko: Yeah, I just realized something today. Guys get off easy. But you know what? I don't think, after the way you handled things today, you'll ever get hassled again.
Starr: I'm sure I won't. No one's going to want to go near a hormonal pregnant girl. She's crazy.
Markko: I'm sorry. I like how you get funny when you get mad.
Starr: I guess it's just a natural gift.
Markko: But you're not just mad, are you?
Starr: No. Markko Rivera, you're very perceptive.
[Markko tries to convince the other teens to go to the tree-lighting at Angel Square]
Markko: Okay, if Angel Square is lame, I'll join the Polar Bear Club tonight.
Starr: Do you know that my grandma is a charter member? I'm not even kidding.
