- Blair Warner: [after coming clean with Mrs Garrett about the wine] I just had another one of my brilliant ideas. Why bother Mr Parker with any of this?
- Edna Garrett: Blair...
- Blair Warner: No, no, no, what I mean is, why don't you punish us?
- Edna Garrett: NO!
- Joanna 'Jo' Marie Polniaczek Bonner: Yeah! Well, you've done it before.
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: And you're so good at it!
- Edna Garrett: I couldn't be severe enough with you girls!
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: Sure you would, we trust you.
- Edna Garrett: I mean what could I do? Ground you for a couple of weeks?
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: Make it a month.
- Joanna 'Jo' Marie Polniaczek Bonner: Make it two.
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: And no television during the week.
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: Or on weekends. And no dates.
- Blair Warner: [Blair reacts, but gets a look from Jo and relents] No dates.
- Edna Garrett: Lets' see. Grounded for two months... no television... no dates! Well then, all things considered, I'll take a chance on you. I won't go to Mr Parker. But girls, if you ever think of pulling a stunt like this again, you're on your own.
- Joanna 'Jo' Marie Polniaczek Bonner: [when asked where she got the beer] I got the beer.
- [holds up can, makes toast:]
- Joanna 'Jo' Marie Polniaczek Bonner: Here's to those who wish me well, all the rest can go to... Jersey.
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: [re Blair's party with wine] It's against the law, it's against the rules... Why didn't you invite me?
- Joanna 'Jo' Marie Polniaczek Bonner: This isn't your speed.
- Blair Warner: We're in the fast lane, Tootie. You're on the bike path.
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: Face it, kid. You're under the hill.
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: I said I was sorry!
- Blair Warner: I cannot believe you spilled a half a bottle of $30 wine.
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: It was an accident!
- Joanna 'Jo' Marie Polniaczek Bonner: It ate the wax right off the floor.
- Blair Warner: Well, at least we have another bottle upstairs.
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: Count me out, I feel awful.
- Joanna 'Jo' Marie Polniaczek Bonner: Well, you should. You swallowed half a can of pineapple chunks and a jar of maraschino cherries, I got sick just watching you.
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: Well, it tasted good at the time!
- Joanna 'Jo' Marie Polniaczek Bonner: I'll get some beer.
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: How will you get beer?
- Joanna 'Jo' Marie Polniaczek Bonner: I'll get some beer.
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: I met him at the Acron country fair. Now I know why God created vacations. So my family could drive across county and I could meet boys.
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: [brushing her hair, plays woman of the world] Yeah, I know.
- Blair Warner: I didn't meet any boys on my vacation. In Europe,
- [with her arm around Natalie's shoulder:]
- Blair Warner: they're born men.
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: Yeah, I know.
- Joanna 'Jo' Marie Polniaczek Bonner: What's with this "Yeah, I know"? You spent the entire summer at the Mini-Ha-Ha camp for girls.
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: Admit it, the closest you got to boys was when the camp put on The Sound of Music and you played Baron Von Trapp.
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: [chuckles] Everyone said I gave a sparkling performance.
- Joanna 'Jo' Marie Polniaczek Bonner: They were talking about your braces, kid.
- [everybody laughs]
- Edna Garrett: Tootie, every time I look at you, you look different. Your hair looks different, your teeth... Well, I can't see your teeth, but I'm sure they'll look different once the braces come off.
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: Yeah, her mouth won't look like train tracks forever.
- Edna Garrett: [admonishes] Natalie...
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: That's okay, Mrs. Garrett.
- [proudly:]
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: I consider my braces a status symbol.
- Blair Warner: What status?
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: I'm a teenager now.
- Blair Warner: Feast your eyes on this!
- [presents bottle of French wine]
- Joanna 'Jo' Marie Polniaczek Bonner: Ah! Booze!
- [takes the bottle from Blair's hands]
- Blair Warner: "Booze"? You heathen! That's Pouilly-Fuissé.
- Joanna 'Jo' Marie Polniaczek Bonner: Gesundheit!
- Blair Warner: Think of it as the Michelob of French wine.
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: How many bottles have you got?
- Blair Warner: [proudly] Two.
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: What are you gonna do with them?
- Blair Warner: Well, Mrs. Garrett has a meeting with the headmaster tonight... and Tootie's got the drama club. I thought I'd throw a party!
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: What's the occasion?
- Blair Warner: I told you. Mrs. Garrett's got a meeting with the headmaster, and Tootie's at the drama club.
- Joanna 'Jo' Marie Polniaczek Bonner: I'll buy that!
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: [to Blair] You really think we should leave out Tootie?
- Blair Warner: Natalie... you're an upperclassman now. Either you play with the big girls, or you play with the little girls.
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: [picks up the bottle, looks at it wistfully] Well, it will certainly be a change from milk and cookies.
- Joanna 'Jo' Marie Polniaczek Bonner: Uh, I don't know if I can get this stuff down. I'll get some beer.
- Natalie Letisha Sage Green: [surprised] How will you get beer?
- Joanna 'Jo' Marie Polniaczek Bonner: I'll get some beer.
