• "Mud" : Dad! Just because I'm smart doesn't mean I can't act stupid.

  Zach : If Mud's guilty I am too.

• Trish : So I don't get it, who made those teepees and painted that weird bus?

  Fein : Back in the 60's, some hippies came here and turned the place into a commune. You know, sex, and drugs, and debauchery.

  Gaby : Who says you can't learn anything from cartoons?

• Gaby : Guys can be geeks, but it's different for girls. I'm gonna wind up wearing a hairnet and serving Jell-o in the cafeteria!

  "Mud" : That won't happen, because a lot of girls start out... lumpy. But you'll lose a few pounds, and then you'll start to grow... chests, and then you'll be going out with guys who hang me up by my underwear.

  Gaby : [dryly]  Oh yeah, I can hardly wait.

• Zach : We're not 'delinquent friends'.

  Trish : Oh really? Then how come you go to military camps every summer, because you like the haircuts?

  Zach : You know my Dad. 'Military camp builds character'

  "Mud" : Hey, how about this one? 'It'll be fun'.

• Trish : Wig-n-Wam? What're we doing at a car wash?

  Gaby : This will never work.

  Dennis Van Welker : Haven't you ever heard of a clean getaway?

• Gaby : Look, whatever stupid diet you use, they won't work.

  Gwen Nowicki : Shh.

  Dennis Van Welker : She's right, diets don't work. Chocolate cake *works*!

• Gaby : [eating diet chocolate cake]  This is delicious.

  Gwen Nowicki : [with a mouthful of cake and a disgusted look on her face]  It's very unusual, excuse me.

  [leaves the room] 

  Gaby : My God, what did you do?

  Dennis Van Welker : Yours is Betty Crocker, hers is raw liver paste.

  Gaby : So if it tastes like poison, it *must* be diet food.

• "Mud" : Gaby, when does your mom leave for the islands?

  Gaby : Just as soon as she puts me on the bus to Camp Slenderella.

  Trish : Again?

  Gaby : Celery sticks and rice cakes... prison food!

• "Mud" : What's up?

  Gaby : [making breakfast]  Omelets.

  "Mud" : What's wrong with Slim Jims and Pop-Tarts?

  Gaby : I don't know... I guess I just got tired of the stuff.
