- [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]
- Miss Emily Mahoney: Natalie, at thirty-two a woman is in her full prime. And it's not as far away as you girls may think. Some of you are about to burgeon into womanhood.
- Natalie Green: I thought all of us were burgeons.
- 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.
