Quotes 

• Cher Horowitz : [opening lines, voiceover, Rodeo Drive shop-till-you-drop to the tune of "It's a Beautiful Life"]  I guess you can say that I'm blessed. I mean, here I am, living in the greatest shopping country in the world, and don't think I don't appreciate it.

  [prize purchase slung over her shoulder, then back at home, unpacking] 

  Cher Horowitz : Dee, you look so Betty.

  Dionne "Dee" Davenport : Well, you are beyond Betty, you are approaching Demi.

  Josh : [in room]  Ugh.

  Cher Horowitz : [to Dee]  You are pushing the Uma envelope.

  Dionne "Dee" Davenport : Oh, thank you.

  Cher Horowitz : [voiceover]  Dee and I are getting ready for the gala grand opening of Alonzo Marcus, a way exclusive European designer store,

  [scoffs] 

  Cher Horowitz : which isn't easy in the same room as my oats-scarfing non-stepbrother.

  Josh : Ugh, okay, so let me get this straight. You're buying clothes in order to go to the store where you can buy clothes...?

  Cher Horowitz : Of course. You never walk into a store looking like you need clothes, I mean, they're not going to give you the time of day. You have to make them respect you.

  Josh : Gee, silly me, I thought people respect you because of your character, your integrity.

  [Dee yawns dramatically] 

  Josh : Hey, at least I'm trying to do something useful here. I'm volunteering to help Joe Pasadine get elected to the State Assembly. Maybe we can finally get some regulations on toxic dumping and auto emissions.

  Cher Horowitz : Josh, you're so C-Span.

  Josh : That's a good one.

  [rises, leaves] 

  Cher Horowitz : [voiceover]  It's always great to slam-dunk Mr. Holier-Than-Thou, so why did it give me this general feeling of ickiness?

• Mel Horowitz : [regarding his voluntary work]  Superb flyer. Concise, emotional. You did a great job.

  Josh : All right, great, do you think it will help getting him elected?

  Mel Horowitz : Not a prayer. The guy's unelectable. But don't get me wrong. I like that you're volunteering. It's good to take up a cause while you still have ideals.

  Cher Horowitz : [entering, groaning]  Oh.

  [sighs] 

  Cher Horowitz : It was awful. I felt like I was on a chain gang without the ankle bracelets.

  Josh : [scoffs]  This does not surprise me. You know, it's hard to picture you taking up a cause that's not yourself.

  Cher Horowitz : Excuse me, but I have donated many cute little Italian outfits to the Goodwill.

  Josh : You needed the extra closet space.

  Cher Horowitz : [scoffs]  Well, how about when I boycotted Vapes?

  Josh : They make you break out.

  Cher Horowitz : [scoffs]  I volunteered to help save the rain forest.

  Josh : [smirks]  Oh, and that had nothing to do with Billy Baldwin speaking at the fund-raiser?

  Cher Horowitz : [tries:]  The fact that Billy and I are so deeply concerned about the environment...

  [he scoffs] 

  Mel Horowitz : [interrupting]  All right, you two, I would like to get some work done here. Cner, you got some homework?

  Cher Horowitz : Yes, Daddy.

  Mel Horowitz : Josh, you wanna be a lawyer one day, right?

  Josh : Yes, Sir.

  Mel Horowitz : Then go get my briefcase from the car.

• Josh : Mr. Pasadine insisted on seeing you.

  Joe Pasadine : So, this is the park that Josh was telling me about. I really admire your impetus.

  Cher Horowitz : [misunderstands, looks down at her outfit]  Oh, well, thanks, but I mean, it's really just a flattering dress.
