Line 75:
In a scene where Quinn attempts to bribe Daria into writing her essay, Daria is reading Joseph Heller's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-22 ''Catch-22.'']
Daria's report for Language Arts is on ''Death of a Salesman'', and titled ''He Had It Coming''.
====Daria's essay====
You can make out the words on the DVD for ''He Had It Coming'':
"There are two ways to read Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman". The first is an American tragedy, the story of a "little man" whose spirit and life were crushed by the viciousness of everyday life. But a second (and in my view equally valid) way to interpret the story is as a morality play with a happy ending. Compromise your values, lose sight of your dreams, cheat on your spouse, and you're dead. Clean, [unreadable], uncomplicated. It's almost a happy fantasy, really. In fact, when I'm feeling depressed, I crack open "Death of a Salesman" and [unreadable] the funeral scene for a quick pick-me-up."
