Line 31:
Soon everything is back to normal in Lawndale high, though Daria gets to lay things down when asked a question about Tennyson's "better to have loved and lost" quote, as she says realising that life is both good ''and'' painful is being realistic, not miserable, and recognises pain is better than feeling nothing. Despite all this, Daria is still approached a few days later. This time by [[Sandi Griffin|Sandi]], whose cat [[Fluffy]] is ill. However, Daria is now ready, demanding a cash payment in advance of delivering blunt, though effective, advice.

* [[Glenn Eichler]] listed this as one of his top episodes [https://nerdist.com/article/daria-12-best-episodes/ in an interview with Nerdist] and said: "If you don’t smile constantly, people think there’s something wrong with you. And if something bad happens to a person you don’t know/care about, and you don’t act emotionally stricken, people think there’s something wrong with you. So to me, the point of that episode was there’s no reason to criticize her for the way she is. In fact, it’s perfectly valid, and in fact more honest than a lot of people."▼
*Daria and Jane mocking Jodie's speech goes on longer in the original script: "Because football is what made our country great. Studying? For losers." "Brewskis for everyone! Turn up the TV."

* Tommy Sherman is described as a "big hunky guy" with his nose as a "jarring note in his appearance", squashed flat by football. "A carefully styled adman's haircut that says, "I love myself deeply."" (Which, in the end, he doesn't get drawn with) His swaggering strut down the corridor is "waiting for people to notice him."
* Li's speech was originally meant to go on longer, with platitudes about how "I believe the lesson lies not in this young man's death, but in his life." Daria was to react like she knows she's "hearing bullshit" but doesn't want to disrupt.
