Jo Polniaczek : Oh, you can count me out, because I've got other plans for tonight.
Harrison Andrews : Yeah? Uh, what kind of plans?
Jo Polniaczek : Oh, I don't know. Have a little fun and get a few kicks.
Harrison Andrews : Right. What's life without kicks?
Jo Polniaczek : Death.
Harrison Andrews : So what do you do, just... hop on your bike and hit the streets?
Jo Polniaczek : Only when I don't hold on tight enough.
Harrison Andrews : Yeah. Bet you stay out till all hours, don't you?
Jo Polniaczek : Oh, no, we have a curfew.

Jo Polniaczek : And sometimes I even make it.
[giggles]
Harrison Andrews : Where are you going tonight?
Jo Polniaczek : Oh, probably swing by the arcade in town.
Harrison Andrews : [scoffs] How'd you like it if I showed up at the arcade tonight?
Jo Polniaczek : It's a public place. I mean, I couldn't have you arrested.
Harrison Andrews : Look, I gotta get back. Would you tell Blair I had to go?
Jo Polniaczek : Mm. Sure.

Mrs. Edna Ann Garrett : Have you known each other long?
Blair Warner : Ever since we were babies. Our families have always hoped we would grow up and join our two great bloodlines.
Jo Polniaczek : Are you people, or racehorses?
Blair Warner : Better a racehorse than a jackass. Of course, we haven't seen each other in years.
[gushes]
Blair Warner : Harrison's been going to school in Switzerland.
Jo Polniaczek : [to Harrison] What did you major in, yodeling?

Blair Warner : It will be such fun. We'll pick up where we left off when we were six.

Blair Warner : Harrison's toys have four wheels now. Tell them about your new Porsche.
Harrison Andrews : Oh, I just got it.
Blair Warner : Candy-apple red, with his initials on the door.
Jo Polniaczek : [excited] Turbo-charged?
Blair Warner : Of course not! He paid cash.
