Quotes 

• Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek : [about Cynthia]  She'll be okay. She didn't really wanna kill herself anyway.

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : What makes you say that?

  Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek : She set it up so you guys would find her. If she was really serious, she would've done it like my friend Gloria back home. She jumped off the school roof between history class and home ec.

• Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Here she is! The next student council president, Blair Warner!

  Blair : Thanks, Tootie, but they haven't counted the votes yet.

  Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek : Yeah, last time I looked, there was another candidate.

  Natalie Green : Where is Cynthia?

  Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek : Blair probably sent her on a cruise. The Bermuda triangle.

• Blair : I'm yesterday's news. You might as well use me to wrap fish.

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Or to line the bottom of a bird cage.

• Mrs. Edna Ann Garrett : You girls are under a lot of pressure, to achieve, to succeed, to fit in, to grow up. And I wanna tell you it's okay to feel confused and frightened and insecure, we all do. And when you feel that way, oh God, please talk about it.

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : But what about people who have nobody to talk to?

• Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Blair, I know the suspense must be killing you.

  Blair : Not really.

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Well, it's killing me. I'm going upstairs to do what I do best. Snoop.

• Blair : [lost out on getting elected President of Student Council]  I can't believe it. I can't believe it.

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Neither can I. I never dreamed you'd end up Vice-President.

  Blair : Oh, that has an ugly ring to it. I prefer to think of myself as co-president.

  Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek : Think of yourself any way you want. You're still number two.

• Blair : Tootie, will you do me a favor? Will you call Chuck and tell him I have to break our date tomorrow night?

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : You're staying home on a Saturday night? This should be on "That's Incredible."

  Blair : Oh, tomorrow night's Saturday? In that case, call Tom. I'm supposed to go out with him tomorrow night. And then call Chuck, and cancel Sunday.

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : [chuckling]  Anybody I should cancel for Monday and Tuesday?

  Blair : No, it's a slow week.
