Quotes 

• Jennie Malloy : Oh, you're the girl that's been causing Tiffany all this unhappiness. Welcome!

  Sable O'Brien : [ingratiating herself]  Wait, you must be Tiffany's older but extremely youthful sister.

  Jennie Malloy : [exclamation of joy]  Now, this is a daughter!

• Jennie Malloy : So, Sable, I understand your father's in jail. Oh, you poor baby.

  [strokes her hair] 

  Jennie Malloy : Tell me all about it.

  Sable O'Brien : My Daddy embezzled some poor old people's retirement money. Big crime! Like they were gonna live to spend it!

  [smirks] 

• Sable O'Brien : [on couch, next to Tiffany, but with their backs to each other]  Ryan, would you hurry, I need a ride to the party!

  Ryan Malloy : [voice coming from upstairs]  All right, I'm coming, I'm just sliding into my leopard briefs!

  [at this, both girls choke on their snacks] 

  Sable O'Brien : [to Tiffany]  If anyone calls for me, I'll be home late, okay?

  Tiffany Malloy : Oh, so now I'm your answering machine, huh?

  [taunting her:] 

  Tiffany Malloy : Press One if you got my number from a matchbook, press Two if you think you might have caught something from me, press Three for group rates.

  Sable O'Brien : You'd better start getting along with me. After all, we're practically sisters, what with your father getting so close to my mother.

  Tiffany Malloy : My Daddy wouldn't touch your mother. As a matter of fact, I don't really even think he touches my mother.

  Sable O'Brien : Men don't say no to my Mom, and my Mom doesn't say no to men.

• Ryan Malloy : You picking anyone up?

  Sable O'Brien : Yup, my date Michael.

  Ryan Malloy : Oh man, I hate that guy! I mean, he knows you're my girlfriend, but yet he still makes out with you in the back of the car. I mean, isn't that kind of a slap to me?

  [scoffs] 

  Sable O'Brien : Just trying to make you jealous.

  Ryan Malloy : [too dumb to realize it's not the time to play cool]  You got a ways to go, baby.

  [cracks his knuckles, guffaws] 

  Sable O'Brien : [they leave, she waves at Tiffany]  Bye... Sis.

  [Tiffany looks perturbed] 

• Sable O'Brien : [eating cake with Tiffany, but they're ignoring each other]  Ryan, will you hurry? I need a ride for the party!

  Ryan Malloy : All right, I'm coming, I'm just sliding into my leopard briefs.

  [disgusted, both girls gag on their cake, spitting it out] 

  Sable O'Brien : If anyone calls for me, I'll be home late. Okay?

  Tiffany Malloy : So, now I'm your answering machine, huh? Press One if you got my number from a matchbook. Press Two if you think you might have *caught* something from me. Press Three for group rates.

  Sable O'Brien : You better start getting along with me. After all, we're... practically sisters. What with your father getting *so* close to my mother.
