Quotes 

• Mel Paige : That's a pretty dress. Where's it from?

  Sydney : Oh. Yeah, I found it on a chain-link fence out in front of the school.

• Mia : And remember, no sex tonight, okay? Homecoming sex is the worst. Because your date gets to dancing, they get all sweaty, and that sweat gets trapped under their cummerbund, then that moves down to Funkytown, and that's how you get a yeast infection.

  Mel Paige : And you don't want a yeast infection.

  Sydney : Plus, you know, you're only super tight for a limited time, so you don't want to waste it.

  Barrett : Amen!

• Sydney : I ended up eating the whole thing. And then I realized I didn't take the paper out between the cheese slices. So I'm a little backed up.

  Mel Paige : That's okay. Good fiber.

  Mia : You're probably gonna shit a novel.

  Sydney : Oh, God, I sure hope so.

• Mia : Why is dream sex way better than real sex?

  Mel Paige : Because they come when you want them to.

  Mia : Girl, that is so true! When I'm done, they're done! Hello!

• Barrett : I don't like snitching on your non-sexual life partner.

  Mel Paige : Yes, you do, Barrett.

  Mel Paige : What? He was just at the bar without any security or anything?

  Mia : Wait, I haven't gotten to the best part. Next thing I know, we're in his hotel room, and he's lathering up my titties with that little bar of soap. It's crazy, because I'm not even attracted to him.

  Mel Paige : He's got no ass. You're more of an ass girl.

  Mia : Exactly. I like my men to have ass, indeed. Okay? I don't care if they can read. But let me state, Barack Obama straight fucked the shit out of me.

  Mel Paige : What?

  Mia : But I couldn't even enjoy it. I was feeling so bad for Michelle the whole time.

  Mel Paige : I told you not to read her book. It's ruined all my fantasies about him. I can block out his mom jeans, but not Sasha and Malia. What was his dick like this time?

  Mia : It was dignified and confident. That dick was presidential.

• Mel Paige : Kim's house get even bigger?

  Mia : She probably had one of those Japanese toilets installed that blow-dry your coochie.

• Mel Paige : Is this chocolate sprinkles your pubes?

  Kim : Oh, my God. This is so beautiful.

  Mia : You talking about this frosted replica of your vagina?

  Kim : That's exactly what it looks like. I got completely waxed, though. I want a clean work space for the doctor.

  Jill : That is so considerate! I made them find it.

  Kim : I can't believe you don't want one of these.

  Mia : You talking about a pussy cake?

  Kim : No, a baby!

• Mia : Let's keep it one hundred. Her daughter a ho. Let's just - let's just keep it one hundred. You know who she look like? She look like a messed-up Betty White.

  Mel Paige : You know who she really looked like? George Washington.

  Mia : Yes! Like she straight off the Quaker Oats box. I just look at her, and I want to start boiling water.

• Mel Paige : What a rude-ass woman! What does she do? Huh? She just gives her rich old husband hand jobs?

• Mel Paige : You didn't charge her the full amount.

  Mia : We gave her the cute nerd discount.

• Mel Paige : I love our friends, but I can't handle the judgment today.

• Mel Paige : Is it weird that we're still roommates?

  Mia : Who cares if we still live together? We are two badass queens, like those bitches who raised Wonder Woman. We a tribe.

• Harry : What does your mom do, Mel?

  Mel Paige : Meth, mostly. Yeah, she's a "cook." She's been clean since 2000-never.

• Harry : You guys are so cool. I love the idea of being your age someday and still living with my dudes.

  Mel Paige : Huh? Ouch!

  Mia : I don't listen to nothin' he says, girl. I just watch that velvety mouth move and think about it all in my nooks and crannies.

• Mel Paige : I know every time I talk about financials, your eyes glaze over.

  Mia : Nope, I have chronic glazy eye. That's from the weed. We know this.

• Greg : It might not sound woke, but we're just trying to be authentic. Modern women admit - they want sex, and they want to look hot.

  Ron : That's why our slogan is simple and to the point: Get some.

  Ron , Greg : Look hot.

  Mel Paige : That is simple.

• Mel Paige : We've dreamed of this since we were teenagers.

  Mia : No, you've dreamed of this since we were teenagers. I just wanted to be a boss.

• Claire Luna : "Proud Mary"?

  Mia : My grandma used to play it all the time. She said, "That's the voice of a woman that's ready to turn up the great."

  Mel Paige : We want it to be our anthem.

• Brook : I just have to say that I am looking around the room at these ceviches and they all look beautiful, but Mel, yours looks best of all.

  Mel Paige : I appreciate that, Brook. Thank you.

  Mia : Look at that, the lady in charge complimenting Mel's ceviche! You gonna suck her dick, too?

  Mel Paige : I'm not interested in sucking Brook's dick. I think you're just jealous because Claire likes me more.

  Brook : Why don't we move it on to the chile rellenos, shall we? So, step one, we want to add a little cheese. And step two, I actually don't have a penis.

  Kim : But if you did, we would suck it.

• Mel Paige : And she's such a lying - snake!

  Mia : Really? That's all you could come up with?

  Mel Paige : What would you call her?

  Mia : I would say that she's a yeasty-ass, pussy-ass, tomfoolery-lookin' motherfuckin' - I don't even know what tomfoolery is, but it seem like something that fits her. She got blue waffles. You know what blue waffles is? That's when your coochie looks like it's from "The Walking Dead". 'Cause she ain't shit!

• Josh Tinker : They created the online-dating app PostD8.

  Mia : What's PostD8?

  Mel Paige : It is a totally gross and chauvinistic app, where guys can go on and tell women they've previously dated what was wrong with them to "help them out."

  Sydney : Yeah, I'm on it. My landlord said that my teeth are too sharp.

• Claire Luna : Come on. Show me what you got.

  Mel Paige : So, here we have two normal lipsticks. And the idea is, if we just join them together... You just stick them together like that. Real hard, like they're, you know, two dogs mating.

  Claire Luna : My Oviedo customers do not want to think of the penis of a dog rubbing on their lips because it's disgusting.

• Mia : We're here to see Claire.

  Mel Paige : We're here to do services on Claire Luna.

  Mia : Yes! Yes, see, we are gonna bleach her butthole. And it's really big. That's why there's two of us.

  Mel Paige : Exactly.

• Mel Paige : You're a lying, manipulative, conniving, backstabbing, bucktoothed, Jessica Rabbit-looking motherfucker!
