Quotes 

• Sasha : You're a fascist!

  Barbie : How can I be a fascist?

  [through tears] 

  Barbie : I don't control the railways or the flow of commerce...

  [cries] 

• Sasha : Men hate women and women hate women. It's the one thing we can all agree on.

• Sasha : Hell yeah, White Saviour Barbie!

• Gloria : You don't have your license.

  Sasha : This car has no engine!

• Sasha : There are Kens, too?

  Barbie : There are many Kens.

  Sasha : Where do all the Kens live?

  Barbie : I don't know.

• Sasha : Hey, what about Barbie?

  Mattel CEO : What do you mean?

  Sasha : What's her ending? What does she get?

  Mattel CEO : Well, that's easy. She's in love with Ken.

  Sasha : That is not her ending.

  Barbie : I'm not in love with Ken.

  Mattel CEO : What do you want?

  Barbie : I don't know. I'm... I'm not really sure where I belong anymore. I don't think I have an ending.

  Ruth : That was always the point. I created you so you wouldn't have an ending.

• Gloria : You like my drawings?

  Sasha : They're weird and dark and crazy. Everything you pretend not to be.

• Sasha : So you're like 'Barbie' Barbie? Like a professional bimbo?

  Barbie : No. Barbie's not a bimbo. Barbie is a doctor and a lawyer and a senator and a Nobel Prize winner.

  Junior High Friend : You're a Nobel Prize winner?

  Barbie : Oh. No, not me, but Barbie is.

• Sasha : Are you really gonna let Barbie take you and your tween daughter to an imaginary land?

  Gloria : Yes, and you wanna know why? Because I never get to do anything.

• Barbie : No, Ken. This is my Dreamhouse. It is my Dreamhouse! It's mine!

  Ken : No, this is no longer Barbie's Dreamhouse. This shall henceforth be known as Ken's Mojo Dojo Casa House.

  Sasha : You don't have to say dojo and house.

  Gloria : And casa...

  Ken : But you do because it feels good. Try it.

• Sasha : Or distract them with the old standby. Wearing glasses so they can discover that you're pretty.

• Gloria : That's Sugar Daddy Ken. And Earring Magic Ken. Mattel discontinued them.

  Sasha : Sugar Daddy?

  Sugar Daddy Ken : No, no, no, no. I'm not a sugar daddy. This is Sugar, and I'm her daddy.

  Earring Magic Ken : And I have an earring. A magic earring.

  Gloria : These were actual Kens.

• Sasha : Okay, Barbie, let's do this. You've been making women feel bad about themselves since you were invented.

  Barbie : I think you have that the wrong way around.

  Sasha : You represent everything wrong with our culture. Sexualized capitalism, unrealistic physical ideals...

  Barbie : No, no, no. You're describing something stereotypical. Barbie is so much more than that.

  Sasha : Look at yourself.

  Barbie : Well, I am technically Stereotypical Barbie.

  Sasha : You set the feminist movement back 50 years. You destroy girls' innate sense of worth and you are killing the planet with your glorification of rampant consumerism.

  Barbie : No, I'm supposed to help you and make you happy and powerful.

  Sasha : Oh, I am powerful. And until you showed up here and declared yourself Barbie, I hadn't thought about you in years, you fascist!

• Barbie : Aren't you guys gonna thank me and give me a big hug? For being your favorite toy?

  Sasha : We haven't played with Barbie since we were like five years old.

  Junior High Friend : Yeah, I hated dolls with hair.

  Junior High Friend : I mean, I'd play with Barbie, but it was, like, the last resort.

  Junior High Friend : I loved Barbie.

  Sasha : Anyways, even then, it was horrible for us.

• Sasha : Thank God they arrested that nutjob. Um, um... that reality-challenged woman.

• Sasha : Are you shining with a real Barbie?

  Gloria : No! I mean, maybe. Like a little, yes.

  Sasha : I don't even know where to start with this wishing-a-Barbie-to-life crap.

  Gloria : Oh, Sasha, listen. I'm just a boring mom with a boring job and a daughter who hates me. Can you blame me for wanting to have a little fun?

• Sasha : You have to try. Even if... Even if you can't make it perfect, you can make it better.

• Sasha : Distract them by appearing helpless and confused. Kens cannot resist a damsel in distress.

• Sasha : You know, I almost feel bad for you, but you are exactly what I thought you were.

• El Esposo de Gloria : Si se puede.

  Gloria : That's a political statement.

  Sasha : That's appropriation, Dad.
