- [first lines]
- Blair Warner: [on phone] Scott! You're unreal! How can you go on and on about someone's eyes? I've just got plain old big chestnut-brown eyes with green and gold flecks.
- Jo Polniaczek: [irritated] With bags under 'em.
- Blair Warner: [full of herself re visiting photographer] Well, once Jonathan Dutton sees this face, he won't get to Braddock.
- Jo Polniaczek: Planning a roadblock?
- Blair Warner: Imagine, me on the cover of millions of magazines.
- Jo Polniaczek: Yeah, kinda makes you wish you had a paper shredder.
- Blair Warner: Jo, I understand your jealously. My face says "Harper's Bazaar." Yours just says "bizarre."
- Jo Polniaczek: Hey, who's jealous? Dutton isn't gonna pick you. Unless it's for a Lassie lookalike contest.
- Blair Warner: Just wait until he picks me. You'll be barking out of the other side of your mouth.
- Jo Polniaczek: You wanna put your money where your muzzle is, Benji?
- [Natalie and Tootie are in stitches]
- Blair Warner: You mean, a bet?
- Jo Polniaczek: Yeah! Loser takes winner's KP duty for a week.
- Blair Warner: Fine! That will give me plenty of free time to go on to Manhattan for my photo session.
- Jo Polniaczek: Get ready to go steady with the trash-masher.
- [they shake hands, and Tootie's camera clicks]
- Natalie Green: Why did you take a shot of that?
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: Blair and Jo actually shook hands. Don't you know history when you see it?
- Natalie Green: Now... when I call your name, I'll introduce you to Jonathan, and you'll sit where Nancy is, and do what she's doing.
- Blair Warner: You mean, be obvious?
- Blair Warner: [very fake] Nancy! You look radiant!
- Nancy Olson: Thanks. Interesting look, Blair. What's the matter, is your tiara at the cleaners?
- Blair Warner: [pretends not to notice] I'm terribly sorry I couldn't be here before your interview. You could have benefited from my expertise.
- Nancy Olson: Oh, don't lose any beauty sleep over it. Mr. Dutton said I was striking.
- Blair Warner: Striking? Like the Polish auto workers?
- Nancy Olson: [unperturbed] Oh, he said my skin glowed and my eyes were piercing.
- Blair Warner: [condescending] Oh, the old glow and pierce line.
- Natalie Green: Blaire, you're up.
- Blair Warner: Excuse me, Nancy. Star time.
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: I still can't believe it. Dutton picking me instead of Blair.
- Jo Polniaczek: I can't either. Except that I won the bet, and she's down in the kitchen up to her green and gold flecked eyeballs in dirty dishes.
- Natalie Green: I can see why, Tootie. It's all here in Blair's magazines. The young look is hot, and brunettes are back.
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: I'm young, and I'm about as brunette as you can get.
- Natalie Green: Why don't you ask Blair, Tootie? She's the fashion expert.
- Blair Warner: You don't want my advice. I'm a loser.
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: No, you're not. You're just over the hill.
- Edna Garrett: [Tootie is wearing a sort of Princess of the Nile outfit for her photo shoot] I... thought she was gonna be dressed as a schoolgirl.
- Blair Warner: That's for Seventeen magazine.
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: Am I a fox, or what?
- Edna Garrett: [aghast] Those clothes...!
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: Isn't it terrific? Like playing in my mother's closet, except everything's in my size.
- Edna Garrett: I'm not sure I'm happy about this.
- Blair Warner: Neither am I. That lipstick is absolutely wrong for her.
- Jonathan Dutton: Great. Two stage mothers for the price of one.
- Jonathan Dutton: Okay, girls, it's magic time.
- Blair Warner: [to Tootie] This is it. The beginning of your career. Now don't let Rena upstage you.
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: I won't, if you tell me what "upstage" means.
- Jonathan Dutton: Okay, now we're gonna try something else. You are a sensual animal stalking the camera lens. Snarl! Come on, show those teeth! Tootie, get with it.
- [last lines]
- Edna Garrett: Oh, Tootie, your decision to stay a kid is the most adult thing you have ever done in your life.
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: I guess so. But it was tempting. All that makeup and clothes and stuff.
- Edna Garrett: Oh, Tootie, go and change. And then you can tell your friends all about your modeling career over something to eat. My treat!
- Natalie Green: Where should we go?
- Edna Garrett: Anywhere Tootie wants!
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: Can we go to Central Park and get hot dogs?
- Blair Warner: That's for kids!
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: [smiling] I know.
