Blair Warner : But when two minds think as one, and one mind is mine, I always get what I want. Besides, why do you think he came to Bates in the first place?
Mrs. Edna Ann Garrett : Blair, you... you don't think a boy would change schools, change countries...
[with laughter:]
Mrs. Edna Ann Garrett : just to take you to a dance?
Blair Warner : They have before.

Mrs. Edna Ann Garrett : Have you known each other long?
Blair Warner : Ever since we were babies. Our families have always hoped we would grow up and join our two great bloodlines.
Jo Polniaczek : Are you people, or racehorses?
Blair Warner : Better a racehorse than a jackass. Of course, we haven't seen each other in years.

Blair Warner : Harrison's been going to school in Switzerland.
Jo Polniaczek : [to Harrison] What did you major in, yodeling?
Harrison Andrews : It's a little more than that.
Mrs. Edna Ann Garrett : Well, after Switzerland, I hope you don't find Bates Academy boring.
Blair Warner : It will be such fun. We'll pick up where we left off when we were six.
Natalie Green : That would be sweet, seeing you two pedaling around on tricycles.
Blair Warner : Harrison's toys have four wheels now. Tell them about your new Porsche.
Harrison Andrews : Oh, I just got it.
Blair Warner : Candy-apple red, with his initials on the door.
Jo Polniaczek : [excited] Turbo-charged?
Blair Warner : Of course not! He paid cash.

Natalie Green : [as they play Scrabble] Relax, Blair, you are so uptight.
Mrs. Edna Ann Garrett : [very much upset] I am not uptight.
Natalie Green : Then how come you keep spelling words like 'call' and 'phone' and 'dance' and 'kill'?
Mrs. Edna Ann Garrett : Because I am going to kill Harrison if he doesn't call me on the phone and tell me about the dance.
Natalie Green : [softly] As long as you're not uptight.
