OH GREAT ONE: Quotes

Starr & Troy [2002-2004]

[Starr meets Troy when she finds him tied up as a hostage in the abandoned funhouse]
Troy: Who's there? Who's there?
Starr: Wow. Double wow!

Starr: (to a tied up Troy) The sign outside says "Funhouse," but it doesn't look like you're having very much fun.

[Troy believes he is hallucinating Starr]
Troy: Oh, no. No, I was getting better. How can this be happening?
Starr: What's with this wheel thing? Is it some kind of ride?
Troy: Oh, no, no -- no, now you're just imagining some kind of strange, little munchkin.
Starr: Hey!

[Troy still thinks he's hallucinating Starr]
Troy: It must be the spider bite.
Starr: A spider? Get out! What kind? A black widow? A fiddleback? I know names and mating habits of hundreds of spiders.
Troy: Oh, great. Hundreds of spiders -- great. That's great. Okay. You can go now, little munchkin. You can go.
Starr: No way. This place is way more cool than Reptile Roundup.
Troy: Oh. It's just a figment of your imagination. That's all it is.
Starr: Hey, I'm no figment. I'm as real as you are.

[Starr gets out her phone to dial for help]
Troy: You have a cell phone!
Starr: Who doesn't?

Starr: No dice! I can't get a signal in here!
Troy: Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
Starr: I told my dad to get an upgrade on this, but will he listen? No. I have to cry or spit up for them to listen. (reference to Starr's jealousy over new baby Jack)

Troy: If you save me, you're going to be a hero.
Starr: Then my parents will have to pay attention to me!
Troy: Yes, yes. Absolutely they will. Now, go. Hurry. Go, hurry, and try.
Starr: I'll do more than try -- I'll do it!
Troy: Ok.
Starr: I'd like to see Jack save a man on a wheel.

Starr: (to Troy) Dad always said not to call the police when you can do it yourself.

[Troy talks to himself while waiting for Starr to return with the police]
Troy: Oh, come through for me. Come through for me. Oh, God. I'm so thirsty. Thirsty. No. Don't even think about it, Toy. Just -- just think about the little girl -- about the little girl. You're my only hope, munchkin. You're my only hope. You and your parents, whoever they are.

[Starr explains to Troy what happened when she told her parents about finding him in the Funhouse]
Starr: And they took away my cell phone and locked me up with Hedy.
Troy: Who's Hedy?
Starr: Have you ever read "Hansel and Gretel"?
Troy: Mm-hmm. Everybody has, yes.
Starr: Well, she's just like the witch, only worse.

Troy: Are you saying that your parents don't even know that you're here?
Starr: They were too busy with Jackie-Wackie, except when they were making me promise never to lie again.

Troy: So why would your parents think that you were lying about finding me?
Starr: I don't get it, either. I mean, just because I ran away and told them that I was kidnapped by this man with a stick.

Troy: Just find someone and tell them that you saw me here, ok?
Starr: I can’t.
Troy: You can't? Why can't you? Wait a minute. Why can't you?
Starr: Because no one believes me now.
Troy: Well, who else did you lie to?
Starr: Not a lot of people. I mean, just my aunt Viki, my grandma, and the Chief of Police.

[Troy directs Starr to capture the poisonous spider]
Troy: I want you to take the top of the bottle and put it right underneath the spider, but don't touch it.
Starr: This is just like "When Pets Bite Back."

Troy: Now, listen to me. When you leave here, you have to get rid of that spider, okay?
Starr: I never get to keep the cool stuff.
Troy: I know, I know. Maybe next time.

Troy: Now, if you see a police officer, I want you to tell him that I’m here, okay?
Starr: I don't think he'll believe me.
Troy: Well, that's why you're not supposed to be lying to the police commissioner.

Troy: Hey, munchkin, thanks for all your help. You're a pretty cool kid.
Starr: You're pretty cool, too, Mr. Man on the Wheel.

[Starr sees Troy for the first time after his rescue]
Starr: You look different than you did on the wheel.
Troy: Well, a little better, I hope.

Troy: Thank you very much for saving my life. Now, you know this makes us best friends forever now? You ever need anything, you call me, okay?
Starr: I'll get back to you on that.
Troy: I bet you will, munchkin.

Starr: (to Claire) Hey, weird redheaded lady, leave my Dr. Troy alone.

Troy: Starr Manning. What are you doing here, young lady?
Starr: I was in the hood.
Troy: "You was in the hood"?

Troy: Let me give you a little piece of advice from personal experience, ok? Not liking your own brother can get you into a real mess.
Starr: No, I do like him -- sometimes.

[Starr wants to live with Troy because her parents are fighting]
Starr: If I leave, they'll be sad and they'll realize they're being stupid and it's no fun this way.
Troy: That's an interesting plan, Starr.
Starr: So, you got an extra bedroom? I'm small.
Troy: Let me explain a little bit about how grownups think.
Starr: They don't think.

[Starr is upset that Todd and Blair have broken up]
Troy: I'm really sorry that you're sad. But this may be just one of those things you have to learn to accept.
Starr: But how can I accept it when I love them so much?

Troy: Did you know I collect stamps?
Starr: That's so geeky.

Starr: You're the best, Dr. Troy. Don't forget, I'm your friend, always.
Troy: Let's make a deal. I won't forget that as long as you don't forget how much your parents love you, whether they're together or not.
Starr: Okay. Spit swear?
Troy: High five instead.

Starr: We came back from Hawaii early.
Troy: Yeah, I know. You guys didn't stay long at all. Well, did you have fun?
Starr: Are you kidding? I didn't even get to look down a volcano or anything.

[Starr is visiting Matthew and Nora's house]
Nora: (about Troy) I could've sworn he was counting on seeing you at your house tonight.
Starr: Dr. Troy's at my house?? Then what am I doing here??

Nora: Starr, Starr! Starr, I'll drive you home. How about that?
Starr: Why? So that you can get Dr. Troy all to yourself?
Nora: Oh, no, you can have Dr. Troy all to yourself tonight.
Starr: Really? You promise?
Nora: I wouldn't dream of interfering.
Starr: You better not.

Starr: (to Troy) As soon as I knew that you were coming here, I immediately made Nora take me home.

Starr: You want to see Spike?
Troy: Depends. Who's Spike?
Starr: My iguana. You met him before.
Troy: Oh, Spike the iguana. Yeah, I love the lizard. Yeah, of course.
Starr: His tail is molting. It's really gross, but yet really cool.

Troy: I really, really love the model of the funhouse that you built.
Starr: It could have better, but --
Troy: But what?
Starr: Mom wouldn't let me put it on fire.

Starr: Can I call Dr. Troy and ask him if he got my present yet?
Blair: I tell you what, why don't we wait until just a little while later, okay?
Starr: Do you think he'll like it?
Blair: Of course he's going to love it because it came from you.
Starr: Yeah, he's cool about things like that.

[Troy defends his medical clinic to a visiting critic]
Troy: When patients come to this clinic, they receive nothing but state-of-the-art, highly personalized care.
Starr: Yeah. And when they come here, they get Dr. Troy, the best doctor in the whole wide world.

Starr: I came here to say good-bye.
Troy: Good-bye?
Starr: I'm blowing town.
Troy: You are? Well, good for you.
Starr: Yeah, good for -- wait, what do you mean, good for me?
Troy: Good for you. I mean, come on, Starr, this is me. I understand.
Starr: You do?
Troy: Of course. But you knew I would, right? I mean, that's why you came to me. But I'll tell you what -- before you hit the road, how about a hot chocolate for the road, huh?
Starr: With whipped cream?

Troy: You see, Starr, sometimes two people can love each other very much, but sometimes it's not enough.
Starr: Then what is enough?
Troy: Trust. And trust takes honesty. And anything less -- like lies or plans or schemes -- just doesn't work.
Starr: Is that why you and Nora didn't get married?
Troy: You're a smart kid. You know that? That's why me and Nora didn't get married.
Starr: My dad's lies and schemes didn't work, either.

[Starr and Matthew pay Troy a surprise visit]
Troy: Well, what are you doing here? You're not sick, are you?
Starr: No.
Troy: Well, then how come i don't see anybody's mother?
Starr: Well, we took a cab.
Troy: You -- you took a cab?
Starr: Yeah.

Matthew: That's Dr. Troy and my sister. Dr. Troy used to be my mom's old boyfriend.
Starr: Yeah? Get in line.

[Starr is distressed after her attempt to save Todd led to Troy kidnapping Matthew]
Starr: (to Nora) I liked Dr. Troy. I saved him on the wheel and he was really nice to me. I didn't think that he was going to take Matthew away. I truly don't think that he's going to hurt Matthew.
