The Importance of Spring Fling Titles
Damian
She always looks fierce. She always wins Spring Fling Queen.
[about Regina]
Janis
Who cares?
Damian
I care. Every year, the seniors throw this dance for the underclassmen called The Spring Fling. And whomsoever is elected Spring Fling King and Queen automatically becomes head of the Student Activities Committee. And since I am an active member of the Student Activities Committee, I would say, yeah, I care.
Janis
Wow, Damian, you've truly out-gayed yourself.

Conflicted Feelings in Friendships
Cady
The weird thing about hanging out with Regina was that I could hate her, and at the same time, I still wanted her to like me.
[voice-over]
Regina
OK. You have really good eyebrows.
Cady
Thanks.
Regina
Move.
[pushing Gretchen]
Cady
Same with Gretchen. The meaner Regina was to her, the more Gretchen tried to win Regina back. She knew it was better to be in The Plastics, hating life, than to not be in at all. Because being with The Plastics was like being famous. People looked at you all the time, and everybody just knew stuff about you.

Short girl
That new girl moved here from Africa.
Bethany Byrd
I saw Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip-flops, so I bought army pants and flip-flops.
Jason
That Cady girl is hot. She might even be hotter than Regina George.
Mr. Duvall
I hear Regina George is dating Aaron Samuels again. The two were seen canoodling at Chris Eisel's Halloween party. They've been inseparable ever since.

Apology and Confession of Regret
Janis
Okay, yeah. I've got an apology. So, I have this friend who is a new student this year. And I convinced her that it would be fun to mess up Regina George's life. So I had her pretend to be friends with Regina, and then she would come to my house after school and we would just laugh about all the dumb stuff Regina said. And we gave these candy bar things that would make her gain weight, and then we turned her best friends against her. And then... oh yeah, Cady – you know my friend Cady? Well, she made out with her boyfriend, and we convinced him to break up with her. Oh, God, and we gave her foot cream instead of face wash. God! I am so sorry about all this, Regina. I am, really. I don't know why I did it; I just couldn't help myself. I guess it's probably because for some reason, I've got a big lesbian crush on you. And if that doesn't solve all of your problems, I don't know what will! So suck on that! AY-YI-YI-YI-YI-YI!!

Obsession and Critique of Popularity
Cady
I was a woman possessed. I spent about 80 percent of my time talking about Regina. And the other 20 percent of the time, I was praying for someone else to bring her up so I could talk about her more. She's not even that good-looking if you really look at her.
[voice-over; out loud]
Janis
I don't know. Now that's she's getting fatter, she's got pretty big jugs.
Cady
I could hear people getting bored with me. But I couldn't stop. It just kept coming up like word vomit. I have this theory that if you cut all her hair off, she'd look like a British man.
[voice-over; out loud]
Janis
Yeah, I know. You told me that one before.

Fashion and Food Debate Among Friends
Gretchen
Regina, we have to talk to you.
Regina
Is butter a carb?
Cady
Yes. And so is peanut butter, but only if you're eating crackers.
[rudely]
Gretchen
Regina, you're wearing sweatpants. It's Monday.
Regina
So?
Karen
So that's against the rules, and you can't sit with us.
Regina
Whatever! I can sit here any time I want. Those rules aren't real.
Karen
They were real that day I wore a vest!
Regina
Because that vest was disgusting!
Gretchen
You can't sit with us!!!
Regina
These sweatpants are all that fits me right now. But if that's the way you feel about it... Fine! You can walk home, bitches.

Gretchen
Regina says everyone hates you because you're such a slut.
Karen
She said that?
Gretchen
You didn't hear it from me.
Cady
Little harsh, Gretch.
Gretchen
Whatever, she has a right to know.

Did he say why?
Regina
Somebody told him about Shane Oman.

Gretchen
Who?
Regina
He said some guy on the baseball team.
Karen
Baseball team?
Regina
I gave him everything. I was half a virgin when I met him.
Karen
You wanna do something fun? You wanna go to Taco Bell?
Regina
I can't go to Taco Bell; I'm on an all-carb diet! God, Karen, you are so stupid!
[stomps off]
Gretchen
Regina, wait! Talk to me!
[goes after Regina]
Regina
Nobody understands me.
Gretchen
I understand you.
Cady
You're not stupid, Karen.
Karen
No. I am, actually. I'm failing almost everything.
Cady
Well, there must be something you're good at.
Karen
I can put my whole fist in my mouth. Wanna see?
Cady
No. That's OK. Anything else?
Karen
I'm kind of psychic. I have a fifth sense.
Cady
What do you mean?
Karen
It's like I have ESPN or something. My breasts can always tell when it's gonna rain.
Cady
Really? That's amazing.
Karen
Well, they can tell when it's raining.

Confrontation Over a Forgotten Invitation
Cady
Oh God.
Janis
You dirty little liar!
Cady
I'm sorry. I can explain...
Janis
Explain how you forgot to invite us to your party?!
Damian
Janis, I cannot stop this car; I have a curfew at 1 a.m.
Cady
You know I couldn't invite you. I had to pretend to be Plastic.
Janis
Hey, buddy, you're not pretending anymore. You're Plastic. Cold, shiny, hard Plastic!
Damian
Curfew, 1 a.m. It is now 1:10.
Janis
By the way, did you have an awesome time? Did you drink awesome shooters and listen to awesome music, and then just sit around and soak up each other's awesomeness?
Cady
You know, you're the one who made me like this so you could use me for your eighth-grade revenge!
Janis
God! See, at least me and Regina George know we're mean. You try to act like you're so innocent. Like, "Oh, I used to live in Africa with all the little birdies and the little monkeys.
Cady
You know what? It's not my fault you're like in love with me or something!
Janis
What?!!
Damian
Oh, no, she did not!
Janis
See? That is the thing with you Plastics. You think that everybody is in love with you, when actually, everybody hates you! Like Aaron Samuels, for example: he broke up with Regina and guess what? He still doesn't want you! So why are you still messing with Regina, Cady? I'll tell you why. Because you are a mean girl! You're a bitch!! Here. You can have this. It won a prize.
Damian
And I want my pink shirt back! You hear me?!! I want my pink shirt back!!

Gretchen Wieners

Brutus is just as smart as Caesar. People totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar. And when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody, huh?

Character Introductions and Observations in Mean Girls
Janis
That one there, that's Karen Smith. She is one of the dumbest girls you will ever meet. Damian sat next to her in English last year.
Damian
She asked me how to spell "orange".
Janis
And that little one? That's Gretchen Wieners.
Damian
She's totally rich because her dad invented Toaster Strudel.

Damian

Conflict Between Cady and Regina
Cady
Regina, wait! I didn't mean for that to happen!
[after humiliating Regina]
Regina
To find out that everyone hates me? I don't care!
Cady
Regina, please! Regina, stop!
Regina
Do you know what everyone says about you? They say that you're nothing but a home-schooled jungle freak, who happens to be a less hot version of me! Yeah! So don't bother trying to act so innocent! You can take that fake apology and shove it right up your hairy—
[turns to Cady and screams as she walks toward her; gets hit by a bus]
Cady
And that's how Regina George died. No, I'm totally kidding. But the fact is, she did get hurt. Some girls say they saw her head go all the way around. But that's just a rumor. Some people swear they saw me push her right in front of the bus. That was an even worse rumor.

Discussion About Kalteen Bars
Shane Oman
Why are you eating a Kalteen bar?
Regina
Because I'm starving.
Shane Oman
Man, I hate those things.
Regina
Oh, really? And why is that?
Shane Oman
Because Coach Carr makes us eat those when we want to move up a weight class.
Regina
What?!
[stops chewing the bar and is very confused]
Shane Oman
They make you gain weight like crazy.
Regina
Motherf–!
[spits out the bite of the bar that she was chewing, and then screams in a fit of rage for nonstop without taking a breath, to the point where Shane nervously backs up, and then runs away. She doesn't stop screaming, even after he's gone]

Blame and Beauty in Unexpected Situations
Cady
Regina! Wow, you look really beautiful.
Regina
I'm wearing a spinal halo.
Cady
Look, I'm really sorry about the bus. I feel like it's all my fault.
Regina
Stop making this about you. I'm the one that got hit by the bus.
Cady
I'm really sorry about all the other stuff, too.
Regina
Okay, I'm going to forgive you because I'm a very Zen person... and I'm on a lot of pain medication right now. You know, Aaron really does like you. He's always talking about how unusual you are and it really pissed me off. Like this one time, I got this really expensive doll house from Germany, but I never played with it. So my mom wanted to give it to my cousin. But even though I didn't want it...
[Cady smiles]
Cady
You begged your mom to let you keep it?
Regina
No. I threw it down the stairs. I didn't want anyone else to have it. But that's just me.

Principal's Warning About Student Behavior
Principal Ron Duvall
Never in my 14 years as an educator have I seen such vicious, reckless and violent behavior. And from young ladies. I got parents calling me on the phone asking, "Did someone get shot?" I oughta cancel your spring fling! But I can tell that from the looks on your faces, you'd be very upset. Well, I'm not gonna do that because we've already paid the DJ. So you can all relax. But don't think for one second that I am not taking this Burn Book seriously!! Coach Carr has fled school property, and is nowhere to be seen or found. Miss Norbury's been accused of selling drugs, and could be sentenced to life in prison. Now what these young ladies in this grade need is an attitude makeover. And you're gonna get it. Right now. I don't care how long it takes; I will keep you here all night, if I have to!
