Physical Education Critique in Clueless Scene
Cher
Ms. Stoeger? I would just like to say that physical education in this school is a disgrace. I mean, standing in line for 40 minutes is hardly aerobically effective. I doubt I've worked off the calories in a stick of Carefree gum.
Ms. Stoeger
Well, you certainly exercised your mouth, Cher. Now, hit the ball.
Cher
Ms. Stoeger, that machine is just a lawsuit waiting to happen!
Ms. Stoeger
Thanks for the legal advice.

What for? Do you wanna have a miserable, frustrating life?
Cher
Oh, Josh will have that no matter what he does.
Mel
At least he knows what he wants to do. And he's in a good college. I'd like to see you have a little bit of direction.
Cher
I have direction.
Josh
Yeah, towards the mall.

Cher's Take on Guys' Fashion Choices
Cher Horowitz
So, okay. I don't wanna be a traitor to my generation and all, but I don't get how guys dress today. I mean, c'mon, it looks like they just fell out of bed and put on some baggy pants, and take their greasy hair—ew!—and cover it up with a backwards cap and, like, we're expected to swoon? I don't think so!

[[Mark Wahlberg|Marky Mark]
Cher
How fabulous. Getting Marky Mark to take time from his busy pants-dropping schedule to plant trees. Josh, why don't you just hire a gardener?
Josh
You know, maybe Marky Mark wants to use his popularity for a good cause, make a contribution. In case you've never heard of that, a contribution is the giving of...
Cher
Excuse me, but I've donated many expensive Italian outfits to Lucy...
Josh
Time... funds...
Cher
And as soon as I get my license, I fully intend to brake for animals, and I have contributed many hours to helping two lonely teachers find romance.
Josh
Which I'll bet serves your interests more than theirs. You know, if I ever saw you do something that wasn't 90% selfish, I'd die of shock.
Cher
Oh, that'd be reason enough for me.

Acknowledging Contributions to Tardiness
Travis
I would like to say this. Tardiness is not something you can do all on your own. Many, many people contributed to my tardiness. Uh, I'd like to thank my parents for never giving me a ride to school, the LA city bus driver for taking a chance on an unknown kid, and, uh, last but not least, the wonderful crew at McDonald's for spending hours making those Egg McMuffins, without which I might never be tardy.
Amber
She could be a farmer in those clothes.

The Art of Attracting Attention

Cher's Garden Party Analogy on Immigration
Cher
So. Okay. Like, right now, for example, the Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all, "What about the strain on our resources?" But it's like, when I had this garden party for my father's birthday, right? I said RSVP because it was a sit-down dinner. But people came that, like, did not RSVP, so I was, like, totally buggin'. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, squish in extra place settings. But by the end of the day, it was, like, the more the merrier. And so, if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion, may I please remind you that it does not say RSVP on the Statue of Liberty?
Cher
Thank you very much.
Mr. Hall
Uh, Amber? Replying?
Amber
Mr. Hall, how can I answer that? The topic is Haiti and she's talking about some little party.
Cher
Hello?! It was his 50th birthday!
Amber
Whatever. If she doesn't do the assignment, I can't do mine.

The Inevitability of Violence in Entertainment
Cher Horowitz
So, okay. The Attorney General says there's too much violence on TV, and that should stop. Even if you took out all the violent shows, you could still see the news. So until mankind is peaceful enough not to have violence on the news, there's no point in taking it out of shows that need it for entertainment value.

Respectful Address in Conversations
Murray
Woman, lend me five dollars.
Dionne
Murray, I have asked you repeatedly not to call me "woman"!
Murray
Excuse me, Miss Dionne.
Dionne
Thank you.

Okay, but street slang is an increasingly valid form of expression. Most of the feminine pronouns do have mocking but not necessarily misogynistic undertone.
