Understanding Coolness in Different Universes
Josh Hey! In some parts of the universe, maybe not in ], but in some parts, it's considered cool to know what's going on in the world.

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.

Cher Oh, Josh will have that no matter what he does.

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 don't think so!

Josh We might get ] to plant a celebrity tree.
[[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.

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.

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.
Murray Okay, but street slang is an increasingly valid form of expression. Most of the feminine pronouns do have mocking but not necessarily misogynistic undertone.
[hops away]
Tai Wow! You guys talk like grown-ups.
Cher Oh, well, this is a really good school.
