Mrs. Manson: I'm sorry... Daria. What do you see in the picture, Dara?
Daria: Um... a herd of beautiful wild ponies running free across the plains.
Mrs. Manson: Uh, there aren't any ponies. It's two people
Daria: Last time I took one of these tests, they told me they were clouds. They said they could be whatever I wanted.
Mrs. Manson: That's a different test, dear. In this test, they're people, and you tell me what they're discussing.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FAIR: In Esteemsters, Daria reveals to the whole school that she and Quinn are sisters. Sandi is in the audience when Daria makes this revelation. Yet Sandi seems to believe Quinn's "cousins" lie for the rest of the series. However, Sandy isn't very intelligent, so it can be assumed that the whole thing went over her head.
