Quotes 

• Natalie Green : From now on it's goodbye Natalie, hello hotlips!

• Natalie Green : Is it too early to join the convent?

• Nancy Olson : Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

  Natalie Green : Thanks Nancy, that leaves me a lot of leeway!

• Natalie Green : Studying in the library is easy. But Neil asked me out on a bona fide go-to-the-movies, have-a-hamburger, walk-home-through-the-park date!

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Finally, something exciting that you can put in your diary!

  Natalie Green : Yeah, but I did some quick figuring. We'll be together for at least four hours. I really like him, but what are we gonna talk about for four hours?

  Jo Polniaczek : Don't worry about it. You can't talk in the movies, and that's two hours right there. You can't talk when you go to eat, you're gonna be chewin'.

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : And you won't be able to talk in the park. You'll be too busy... looking out for muggers.

• Natalie Green : What about my reputation? All my life I've been told to be a good girl. It was easy to do up until now. I never had a date. Now after one... one innocent trip to the library all those years of hard work go down the tubes. Why? I'll tell you why. Because you spent those same years being told, 'You gotta make out. Get a rep as a ladies' man.' I'm a victim of macho malpractice.

• Jo Polniaczek : People are dragging your name through the gutter. I think I'm gonna have to hit somebody.

  Natalie Green : Who asked you to defend my honor?

  Jo Polniaczek : I think I'm gonna have to hit you!

• Blair Warner : He's been saying you're real easy to get along with. If you know what I mean. Real easy.

  Natalie Green : Are you saying that he said, that I, that he, that we?

• Edna Garrett : [to the wallflowers]  Girls, can you guess why they're calling these parties mixers?

  Natalie Green : We're mixing, Mrs. Garrett.

  Edna Garrett : Sure you are. With each other.

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Well, we haven't seen each other since breakfast and we got a lot of catching up to do.

  Edna Garrett : Look, kids, mixing's easy. All you have to do is walk up to a boy and start a conversation. "Hi, I'm Edna, and who might you be?"

  Natalie Green : I might be Tatum O'Neal if I was lucky.

• Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : [taking up Mrs. Garrett's advice]  Shall we take a shot at it, Nat?

  Natalie Green : I don't know. It looks much easier in Teen Magazine.

• Blair Warner : Ah, Natalie. Natalie, Natalie, Natalie, Natalie, Natalie. All is not lost. You just happen to be rooming with the one person who can teach you everything you need to know about conversation, charm and popularity.

  Jo Polniaczek : [irritated by Blair]  Thanks, Blair. As I see it, there's no secret to a successful date, it's just...

  Blair Warner : Please! To you a successful date is arm-wrestling at Shaky's. Just remember... I haven't been dateless since 1979. Can anyone else in this room make that claim?

  [no one can] 

  Natalie Green : Blair, help me, please!

  Blair Warner : Do as I say, and Neil will be putty in your hands.
