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.
Caution Against the Plastics
Taglines Beware of the plastics.
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.
[voice-over]
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.

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!!
[to the female student body; to Regina]
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 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.
[pause; after being ignored]

[''presses a button on her phone'']

Gretchen Gretchen.
Karen Right. Hold on. Oh, my God, she's so annoying.
[''presses another button; to Regina'']
Regina I know! Just get rid of her.
Karen Okay. What is it?
[to Gretchen]
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.
Karen I can't go out. I'm sick.
[to Regina; ''fake cough'']
Regina Boo, you whore.
[sarcastically; ''hangs up; Karen gapes in shock'']

Rumors and Secrets Among Friends
Karen Did he say why?
Regina Somebody told him about Shane Oman.
[sniffling]
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!!
Questioning Authority and Equality in Leadership
Gretchen Wieners Why should ] get to stomp around like a giant, while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? What's so great about Caesar? Hm? ] is just as cute as Caesar. 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? Because that's not what Rome is about. We should totally just stab Caesar!

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.
[voice-over]

The futility of hurting others for self-worth
Cady Heron Calling somebody else fat won't make you any skinnier. Calling someone stupid doesn't make you any smarter. And ruining Regina George's life definitely didn't make me any happier. All you can do in life is try to solve the problem in front of you.

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 Can you believe my f-ing mom is here? Bye.
[they giggle; waves]
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!
