Quotes 

• [Annabelle and her mother have already just got their own bodies back, but stayed in the same places that they were switched, and it looks to Boris and Ben like she and her mother just did an impossible trick] 

  Boris Harris : Hey Annabelle, where did you come from?

  Annabel : Don't ask me.

  Ben Andrews : Where did Mom go?

  Annabel : Don't ask me.

  Ben Andrews : Can you do that again?

  Annabel : I hope not.

• Ben Andrews : Boy mom that was terrific, that's even better than Annabel can do and she's a super ball player.

  Annabel (as Mrs. Andrews) : Really?

  Ben Andrews : And she's beautiful.

  Annabel (as Mrs. Andrews) : She's what?

  Ben Andrews : I think she's beautiful and I love her braces. I hope when I get that old I'll have braces too.

  Annabel (as Mrs. Andrews) : With in luck you won't need braces.

  Ben Andrews : That's what I'm afraid of, now Annabel going to hate me more than she does now. Well why does she hate me so much?

  Annabel (as Mrs. Andrews) : Because there's nothing more annoying in the whole entire world with a little blue eyed saint, with perfect teeth, who's always on time, never has a messy room.

  Ben Andrews : Do you hate me too?

  Annabel (as Mrs. Andrews) : Don't be a jackass I'm just trying to tell you why Annabel hates you.

  Ben Andrews : But I can't help those things, I can't help what I look like and about being neat, I can't help that either. Listen if I thought she'd bite me I might be better being famous, I even try being messy. Once I took all my piled up blocks and the books on the shelf, and a big bag of marbles and Lego's and threw them in the middle of the room so Annabel wouldn't be the only one getting in trouble. Do you want to know what happened? That stinky old Mrs. Schmauss said I was too young to know any better and picked everything up. So no matter what I do Annabel keeps on hating me.

  Annabel (as Mrs. Andrews) : Well, why don't you hate her back? That's a good idea.

  Ben Andrews : I told you before I tried. But you can't hate someone and love them at the same time can you mom?

  Annabel (as Mrs. Andrews) : No I didn't used to think so.

  Annabel : [Annabel thinks]  Maybe you can.

  Annabel (as Mrs. Andrews) : Now blow. Feel better now?

  [Annabel holds up the tissue to Ben's nose] 

  Ben Andrews : Uh huh.

  Annabel (as Mrs. Andrews) : Come on let's go home.

• Mrs. Andrews : Annabel, how do you like yourself?

  Annabel : I'm not sure yet.

  Mrs. Andrews : Annabel, about your hair, I swear they only took off an inch and a half. And I bought you a new outfit, but you don't have to wear it. YOUR TEETH! Don't you like your teeth now?

  Annabel : Mom, I'm not talking about how I look, I'm talking about how I am. I'm a lot smarter than I realized I am, and a lot dumber too.

• Annabel , Mrs. Andrews : [about each other, from two different places at the same time, they are saying the magic word which suddenly makes them unintentionally switch]  I wish I could switch places with her for just one day.

• Annabel : As a dad you're terrific. As a husband, you're more like a traffic cop!

• Mrs. Andrews (as Annabel) : Could I trouble you for a dime, dear?

  Virginia : [shocked]  Could-I-trouble-you-for-a-dime-dear?

• Annabel : Max, you big hamburger!

• Annabel (as Mrs. Andrews) : [on phone]  Boris, this is Mrs. Andrews across the street. Could I borrow a cup of...

  Annabel : [thinks]  Sugar's too corny.

  Annabel (as Mrs. Andrews) : [sees Max chewing on cereal box]  Kibble? Kibble. K-I-B-B-L-E, that's right, the stuff dogs eat.

• Mrs. Andrews (as Annabel) : What is this?

  Virginia : Your usual rum raisin banana-split breakfast.

  Mrs. Andrews (as Annabel) : Of course! what else would the junk food junkie eat for breakfast?

  [looking at the girls, who are staring] 

  Mrs. Andrews (as Annabel) : You notice something different about me, right? Something different?

• Annabel : This is my room. Don't knock it, I like it this way, you don't have to find anything.

• Annabel Andrews : Hey! Whose foot is that? That's not MY foot... that's Mom's foot! And those are Mom's legs

  [feels her legs and works up] 

  Annabel Andrews : ... and, and her stomach, and her uh... uh...

• Mrs. Andrews (as Annabel) : [while Mrs. Andrews speeds in traffic in her car]  Which way do I turn here? Left?

  Boris Harris : Right!

  Mrs. Andrews (as Annabel) : Right, You sure?

  Boris Harris : No left!

  Mrs. Andrews (as Annabel) : Left!

  Boris Harris : Right!

  Mrs. Andrews (as Annabel) : Right?

  Ben Andrews : Left's that way!

  [Mrs. Andrews cuts off the car hauler truck and the driver brakes and 3 police cars falls out of the car hauler. The police in their car quickly turns on their sirens and chases after Mrs. Andrews speeding car] 

  Boris Harris : Uh oh! Hey! I think we've got company!

• Annabel : I'm not falling for that again, the last time I got my hair trimmed they chopped six whole inches off!

• Mrs. Andrews (as Annabel) : [needing bus fare]  Virginia could you possibly...

  Virginia : No I couldn't possibly! I know you've got more change than that, Annabel, I've seen the way you walk.

  Mrs. Andrews (as Annabel) : The way I walk?

  Mrs. Andrews : [thinks]  Of course!

  [takes off her shoe and coins scatter] 

• Mrs. Andrews (as Annabel) : Listen! Let me put it this way, uh number one, I'm not going to go out there and make a fool out of myself let alone break every bone in my body.

  Mr. Andrews : Annabel you can't do this to me! My job may depend on this deal!

  Mrs. Andrews (as Annabel) : I'm sorry, but I just can't do it!

  Mr. Andrews : Okay okay I give up! Heh heh, sit down and we'll talk about it here hold this. HIT IT CHARLIE!

  [Bill gives Annabel the tow rope to hold] 

  Mrs. Andrews (as Annabel) : Aggh!

  [the boat tugs Annabel on the water as she struggles to water ski] 

  Mr. Andrews : I'M SORRY HONEY! I HAD TO DO IT!

  Mrs. Andrews : [Mrs Andrews thought]  Bill! You dirty louse!

  Mrs. Andrews (as Annabel) : OH, HELP! Oh!

  [Annabel continues to struggle and panic on the moving water skis] 

• Annabel (as Mrs. Andrews) , Mrs. Andrews (as Annabel) : I wish I had my own body back!

  [Annabel and Mrs. Andrews bodies magically switch back with their own spirit in their correct bodies. Mrs. Andrews is now on water skis while Annabel is reckless driving in a car] 

• Boris Harris : [after Annabel gets her own body back, she appears in the car]  Hey Annabel! Where did you come from?

  Ben Andrews : Where did mom go?

  Annabel Andrews : Don't ask me.

  Boris Harris : How'd you do that?

  Annabel Andrews : Don't ask me.

  Ben Andrews : Could you do it again?

  Annabel Andrews : I hope not.

  [the police cars continue to chase after them] 

• Annabel : Another thing, she's not going to let me go to Hillary's this afternoon. Says she knows all we do there is kissing games, she's also my back to get my hair trimmed. I'm not falling for that again, last time I was trimmed they hacked six inches off me. I tried to be cool right? Parents just seem to be immune to it. Sometimes I'd really blow my top, when yesterday I said to her, What are you trying to do change my whole entire image? She said no dear I wouldn't know where to start. Chuckle chuckle I mean that's really funny.

  Virginia : If it's any comfort to you Annabel, my mom is even rottener than yours.

  [Annabel throws a spoon of ice cream at the wall] 

  Annabel : Mother's just doesn't understand what a person goes through. I'm an individual right? I can't eat what I want, wear what I want to keep my hair and nails the way I want. Last night we really had it out though, Listen, I screamed at her, I know how to scream at her you know. Listen, you're not letting me have any fun and I'm sick of it. You're always pushing me around and telling me what to do. How come nobody ever gets to tells you what to do. Will you ever tell me that? Do you know what she said?

• Annabel : Oh yeah said this real bitter tongue, yeah that always blows my mind. Oh yeah you can tell you something, watch TV all day, or go to lunch with your friends, eat what you want for breakfast. Or go to big parties or movies with dad.

• Annabel : Sounds like a picnic to me.

• Annabel : I am so much smarter than I thought, and so much dumber.

  Mrs. Andrews : Oh, my darling, aren't we all?
