    • TRIVIA (6)

      ADD TRIVIA
      • The music Trent first plays on his keyboard for Daria and Jane is Beethtoven's Fifth Symphony using barnyard animal noises.

      • Jane takes a bite out of her pizza, and yet when we see it again, it's as if she never touched it.

      • When Jane demands that Trent finish the music, a close-up shows there are no earrings in his ear. There are only small spaces where the earrings should've been drawn in, but weren't.

      • If Jesse is the rhythm guitarist of Mystik Spiral, why is he playing a bass guitar?

      • When Daria and Jane are talking face to face (post-phone call) Jane's hair is clearly messy from sleeping but after the commercial break (when Tom shows up) her hair is fine. When did she have time to straighten it?

      • At Mystik Spiral's gig, the brick part of the wall looks like the eastern half of the United States.

    • QUOTES (16)

      ADD QUOTES
      • (Daria & Jane in a fight with each other & Trent walks in) Trent: What's the matter with you? Daria: She's gonna fail Language Arts! And it'll be your fault!

      • Jane: (to Tom) Hey, pull up a bench, we'll order another pie. Tom: Nah, I'm only gonna stay another minute. Daria: Wanna borrow my stop watch?! Tom: Daria if you want me to leave just say so! Daria: Okay. Bye now!

      • Jane: Trent, I don't care if she forgives you. I'm never speaking to you again. Trent: You just did. Jane: Damn!

      • Trent: Hey, the second set's just the stuff that's not good enough for the first. I wouldn't stay for it myself, if I weren't in the band.

      • Max: Look, when I'm going foom, foom, foom, foom, what damn good does it do to have you going badda-dah, badda-dah, badda-dah, blat? Nick: It's not "blat", Max; it's "blam".

      • Daria: And even if we were friends, I still wouldn't ride in that car. Tom: That's just plain common sense.

      • Jane: Who said anything about writing music? He sampled the toilet flushing and created an all-plumbing version of "O, Susanna".

      • Trent: Thanks for coming to the gig. I got to get back before Max and Nicholas kill each other. Daria: Yeah. You don't want to miss that.

      • Jane: C'mon Daria! Trent will love doing some computer music. It will satisfy the secret techno dancer freak hiding beneath that cool alternative exterior.

      • Trent: Listen, I got to get to rehearsal. I'm late. Daria: How do you know? You don't wear a watch. Trent: I'm always late. That's why I don't wear a watch. They depress me. Daria: You know, Trent, somehow that makes perfect sense.

      • Daria: You and Jane aren't really morning people, are you? Trent: Hey, the night holds the key. Daria: The key to what? Trent: I don't know, Daria. It's early.

      • Tom: Mmm...very nice. You like convertibles? Jane: Sofas? Tom: Cars. Jane: Why, you got one? Tom: Um...no, but the roof of my car is rusting through.

      • Jane: Isn't "exciting assignment" a contradiction in terms? Daria: I don't know. Let's ask our inspiring instructor.

      • Helen: (offscreen) Meeting! Jake: (offscreen) Golf! Quinn: (offscreen) Date! Daria: Sarcasm!

      • Jane: I have a good feeling about this multimedia thing, teammate. Daria: That's the nastiest name anyone's ever called me.

      • (Daria rings Jane's doorbell) Jane: (groggy) Hey. Daria: What's with you? Jane: After you called, I got up, got dressed, and then fell back asleep...you did call, right? Cause I don't think I could've dreamt a conversation that nasty...
