Diamond Earrings and a Pumpkin Head (2018)

Anna Faris: Christy Plunkett

Quotes 

• Christy : [about her gambling]  This isn't like when I was drinking. I'm not doing it every day, I'm not letting it ruin my life.

  Bonnie : Let me ask you this. Who is wearing your diamond earrings right now?

  Christy : [having lost them in a poker game]  Some busboy's 6 month old daughter. This can't be like my drinking.

  Bonnie : Why not?

  Christy : Because... I can't have another addiction.

  [scared] 

  Christy : I can't possibly be this broken.

  Bonnie : [softly]  Yes you can.

• Christy : [Nora won't share details about her personal life]  Oh come on, you know every gory detail about my life, I don't even know what your favorite color is!

  Nora : [gestures to her red outfit]  *Think* about it.

• Bonnie : [wearing Christy's gown and cap]  I never had a graduation, I just wanted to try it on and see if it made me feel smarter.

  Christy : Does it?

  Bonnie : [swings the tassel back and forth]  Who can feel smart wearing something this stupid?

  Christy : Take it off before you stretch it out.

  Bonnie : Hey, let's not get into who stretched what, pumpkin head.

• Christy : So tonight was my first meeting at Gambler's Anonymous.

  Bonnie : Why didn't you tell me?

  Christy : I didn't want to tell you unless I was actually doing it, and I guess I'm doing it. I got my first day pin, they don't give you chips like AA.

  Bonnie : Guess they learned that the hard way. So how is it?

  Christy : Interesting, for one, I'm the youngest person there, and I'm the only woman there not wearing a track suit.

  Bonnie : That's how I tell you apart from Marjorie.

• Bonnie : [holds out envelope]  Open it up.

  Christy : [reads the letter]  I got accepted into law school!

  Bonnie : You did?

  Christy : You steamed it open, didn't you?

  Bonnie : Razor blade, it would've fallen out if you'd held it the other way.

  Christy : Can I start jumping up and down now?

  Bonnie : You better because I've been doing it for the last half hour!

  Christy : [they hug each other jumping up and down and screaming, excitedly]  Now I just need $150,000 to pay for it!

  Bonnie : [excitedly]  One day at a time, dear!

  [they continue jumping] 

• Christy : Let me walk in peace.

  Bonnie : Okay.

  [slowly follows her in the car] 

  Bonnie : I've got half a tank of gas, I *will* wear you down.

  [Christy turns and goes back, Bonnie puts the car in reverse] 

  Bonnie : Newsflash, cars go backwards. Christy, the last time you ran away I let you go and I didn't see you for 2 years, please get in the car.

  Christy : [finally gets in]  For the record, I'm only getting in because I chose to run away in high heels.

• Bonnie : Christy, I'm scared for you.

  Christy : Why?

  Bonnie : Because you have a serious problem. Gambling is just as much an addiction as drugs and alcohol and I've seen it take people out just as easily.

• Christy : I sure know how to ruin my life, don't I?

  Bonnie : Hey, you learn from the best.

• Christy : [after going to Gamblers Anonymous]  I'm going to take a shower, I smell like stale cigars and failed marriages.
