Quotes 

• [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?

• 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.
