Quotes 

• [All the girls begin heading up the stairs to teach Cindy how to dance] 

  Cindy Webster : Sue Ann, thanks a lot for nominating me. I love you.

  [Cindy hugs Sue Ann for a few seconds] 

  Sue Ann Weaver : [smiles]  Come on.

  [Sue Ann heads up the stairs, Cindy goes to follow her but Blair stops her] 

  Blair Warner : Cindy, what's wrong with you?

  Cindy Webster : [confused]  What do you mean?

  Blair Warner : All this touching, and hugging girls, and 'I love you'? Boy, are you strange.

  Cindy Webster : I didn't mean anything.

  Blair Warner : I'll just bet. You better think about what you mean. Geez...

  [Blair shakes her head in disgust as she goes past Cindy to head up the stairs] 

• Blair Warner : [new dress for Harvest Ball]  What do you think, Mrs. Garrett?

  Edna Garrett : Wow...

  Blair Warner : Now I know you might think it's cut a bit low and the eye shadow a bit heavy,

  [shakes her head] 

  Blair Warner : but this is the look that's selling.

  Edna Garrett : Oh, no, no, no... I think it's just right for you, Blair. After all, you're the expert on tricks to attract men.

  Blair Warner : I guess so.

  [smiles] 

  Edna Garrett : Oh, golly, I'll bet you can have any man you wanted.

  Blair Warner : Yeah, probably.

  [chuckles] 

  Edna Garrett : Mm. And I'll bet you have.

  Blair Warner : Where did you hear something like that?

  Edna Garrett : No, no. It's pretty obvious, you've been around.

  Blair Warner : No, I haven't. I don't do those kind of things.

  Edna Garrett : Oh, come on. The way you get yourself up. You're so sophisticated. You smoke, and you talk a good game.

  Blair Warner : That's just talk,

  [shakes her head] 

  Blair Warner : honest.

  Edna Garrett : You know what they say, if you're advertisin', you must be sellin'.

  Blair Warner : I'm not that kind of girl! You can ask any guy I've dated. I'm a tease!

  Edna Garrett : A tease? Boy, oh boy, oh boy, you sure could have fooled me!

  Blair Warner : You just can't jump to conclusions about people that way!

  Edna Garrett : That's right. It's all just appearances, isn't it, Blair? And you're absolutely right about jumping to conclusions. I'm sure CIndy would agree with you.

  Blair Warner : Cindy?

  Edna Garrett : It seems you jumped to a conclusion about her.

  Blair Warner : But you've seen her, Mrs. Garrett, she looks more like a boy than a girl.

  Edna Garrett : [makes honking sound]  Appearances!

  Blair Warner : You mean like... what you just thought about me?

  Edna Garrett : Hmm.

  Blair Warner : Okay, I shouldn't have made that crack about her being strange.

  Edna Garrett : That was the crack?

  Blair Warner : I didn't mean it. I... I just said it.

  Edna Garrett : Mm-hmm?

  Blair Warner : I should apologize.

  Edna Garrett : Mm. One piece of advice. The sooner, the better.

  Blair Warner : You mean now?

  Edna Garrett : Now is definitely sooner.

  Blair Warner : [softly]  I'll go get her.

  [heads toward stairs] 

  Edna Garrett : I'll help you.

  [hollers:] 

  Edna Garrett : Cindy!

• [Cindy gets out a long rope and gets Nancy and Blair to follow her into the center of the room] 

  Cindy Webster : Come on you guys, it's tug-of-war practice time. We got to get on the ball before we get our brains knocked in.

  Blair Warner : Listen, slugger, some of us want to talk about the dance.

  [Cindy gets down on one knee and attempts to tie one end of the rope around Blair's left ankle] 

  Cindy Webster : Now come on. You just plant your foot right here...

  [Blair steps back] 

  Blair Warner : Would you mind not pawing at me? You are strange.

• Blair Warner : [won beauty title, gained even more popularity]  Yes. Whoever said it was lonely at the top, was looking at it from the bottom.

• Blair Warner : How do I look?

  Steven Bradley : Oh, perfect. Just... button up the top button.

  Blair Warner : There is no top button.

  Steven Bradley : Then put one on and button it.
