Speaker: Damian Leigh
She doesn't even go here.
Context
This line was spoken by Damian Leigh (played by Daniel Franzese) in Mean Girls, directed by Mark Waters (2004).
Damian is the beating heart of Mean Girls, and his finest hour comes when he dons a blue towel/hoodie thing and sunglasses, and yells out that a student at the special assembly isn't enrolled at their high school. And then, the girl runs off in a panic.
It's kind of sad because who wouldn't want "a cake filled with rainbows and smiles" in the middle of the bullying and drama of high school. But Damian snaps the assembly back into order so that the girls can continue to vent about Regina George and her nefarious Plastics.
We hope that somewhere out there, "Crying Girl" is enjoying a tasty, colorful cake of smiles, even if she doesn't go to Northshore High.
Where you've heard it
This quote is extra handy when you're in a crowded lecture hall, and some random person keeps asking the teacher long-winded, pointless questions. Are they really in the class, or are they just there because they "have a lot of feelings?"
If you love this quote, you can get it immortalized in an ugly Christmas sweater.
Pretentious Factor
If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.
Maybe publicly pointing out the fact that someone doesn't belong somewhere isn't the most socially graceful, but sometimes it's necessary.
