Quote #10
BRIAN: Chicks, cannot hold their smoke! That's what it is!
CLAIRE: Do you know how popular I am? I'm so popular, everybody loves me so much, at this school...
BENDER: Poor baby.
Brian is doing a Richard Pryor impression after smoking pot with Bender. Under the influence of the drug, Claire starts spouting her own high self-estimate—the kind of junk that's floating in her head is spontaneously manifesting itself. She doesn't realize that only the other "popular" kids hold this high estimate. She's not really popular with the Bender and Brian types.

ANDREW (VO): ...and an athlete...
ALLISON (VO): ...and a basket case...
CLAIRE (VO): ...a princess...

This is the big realization at the end of the movie. They've all been through so many emotional ups and downs with each other and revealed so much about themselves that they've finally discovered that their social identities are artificial. They're not really who people perceive them as being, or who they perceive themselves as being. They've actually had a lot of similar experiences, and there's no bar to prevent them from relating to each other on a deeper level.
