 * Jane: I'm not quite getting this. You ran off because of a fight your parents had 11 years ago? Daria: It's not the fight. It's the sudden realization that all these years, when I thought they were torturing me, in reality I was the one torturing them. Jane: First of all, I don't think it's either-or. From where I'm sitting, you and your folks have done a great job of torturing each other. And second of all, you mean to tell me you don't know when you're busting them? Daria: Yes, I know when I'm busting them. What I didn't realize is what a pain I've been when I thought I was just being me.
