becky: she's skinny, amber...not deaf.

amber: course...i hope i end up a little more like diane sawyer than my mom.

annette: yeah, well, if they ask you to take your top off, get the money first.

(the scene in the trailer with loretta and annette):
annette: all right, thats it, im cuttin ya out and sendin ya home, she's gotta go home...
loretta: what, i'm braggin up your kid here. amber's gonna be the next diane sawyer, ya know.

My Favorite quote is by Becky's dad right before the parade. Where he says,"Beautiful as a whore's ass today eh, boys!" That is a classic in my book. I use it every sunny day.

[–] JuliaM87 19 years ago

My favourite is pretty much anything Loretta says!

"She had a big ass then, she's got a big ass now!"
"I got some!
"She's screaming 'Mom, mom' because she's got Tourettes!' She's Annette's kid dipsh it!"
"Would one of you boys give me a ride home?"
-"Don't fall for it, she lives two trailers down!"
"So? It'd be real easy!"

That woman makes me laugh so much, I think I'll go and watch my DDG DVD right now!

How do you keep an idiot in suspense? I'll tell you later.

LOVE this movie! I will repeat some of the lines I heard because they are also my favorites!

Annete: Amber, I am this close to killing someone for the nicotine underneath their fingernails- YOU HEAR ME, LORETTA?"

"Someone call a doctor!" "Forget a doctor, call a priest!"

Also, this is not a line, but does anyone recall the fight scene between Amber and Becky? If so, watch Lisa (Britney Murphy) in the background because the look on her face when the fight starts is pure classic! Also, when the girls are waiting to perform with the stepladders and the dance instructor is putting vaseline on their teeth, you see Becky glaring at Amber and Lisa is watching the tension between both of them with the most hilarious expression!

Connie Rudland: Oh...I just love Saint Paul Pork Products. In fact, I love them so much...I work here now!

Mr. Howard: English! Speak English you Stupid little Retard.

Mr. Howard: Hey...what do he got, that i not got?

Amber: Nice Becky! She's anorexic!
Becky: She's skinny Amber! Not deaf.

John Dough (Judge #1): Never been around young girls. I mean, even if i was, then why would I wanna be. I don't get off on that kind of thing. And that's really why you're asking, right?.......someone say something?

Hank: Mom said not in the head!
Harold: Well Mom's Dead!

Harold: We're happier than the day Hanky got aquitted.

Harold: We're gonna use the money to get a proper headstone...and move her out to the graveyard.

Mr. Leiman: Hey Tim, Carla,...listen, you two don't Jew me down too much on that dinette, and I'll throw in a hutch for free.

Loretta: Are we on cops again?

Loretta: Best damn tapper. Most smartest.

ALL above were great but my fave is:

Iris: "GLADYS, we need more bars! Enid ate a whole pan!"
Gladys: "She can't do ANYTHING by herself!"

Becky: The rumors are true. I do have a secret crush...

Amber: Mom still cries whenever she sees a tilt-a-whirl or a fat lady in a tube top
(i love this line because if you watch loretta, she is so clearly about to break and laugh right before the camera cuts away)

I was practicing my talent, brushing up on current events, and running 18 miles a day on about 200 calories... I was ready.

GO MUSKIES!!!

My all time favorite scene, perhaps in any movie, has already been mentioned, but bears repeating. The St. Paul's Pork Products commercial-

Oh, I just love St. Paul's Pork Products. In fact, I love 'em SO much... I work here now!!!

I laughed so hard my stomach hurt and tears streamed down my face.

You are Columbus and I am America. Discover me, Ramon, just discover me.

Hi bamf1981:

First of all, your signature cracks me up. I love Romy & Michelle! I have kids, tho, so I have to skip the Ramon scene! LOL

Oh, and, just for the record, Mary was running 18 miles a day of 400 calories! LOL I love that because it takes ALL of her energy just to say that line. Immediately after, she is gasping for air, looking faint! LOLOLOL

Thanks, too for the Loretta bit. I will have to check for that. Oh, gosh, when Loretta takes Amber to regionals and everyone pukes and Loretta and Amber are on tv for just an instant, Loretta says (To Amber's mom thru the camera) "I got some." Too funny! "Most smartest."

What a great movie!!

[–] legend21 19 years ago

I don't remember this exactly but

Nurse: - "Hey miss Sad Pants, and her friend Serious Sally. How about some nice cool mints to turn those frowns upside down!"

Loretta: - "Do you think a nice cool mint would help if I shoved your head up your ass?"

"The washington monument (guy in audience yells "oh yeah baby") makes me, Lesile Miller, proud to be an american"

"Mom stills cries if she sees a tilt-a-whirl or a fat lady in a tube top"

"The tard's pants are open...."
"close up shop. CLOSE UP SHOP!"

"(brushing Mary's hair and a huge chunk falls out) Ohhhh. Oh goddddd."
"What...what is it?"
"Oh just a little snarl...shhhh don't tell!"

"My uncle's largest ball of twine...makes me, proud to be an american....i kind of misunderstood the assignment."

"I said I'd move the car if a cripple came!"

"....thats why we use cool-aid for the blood of christ!"

"Gladys! You taped over the pagent with your soaps!"

"Our next door neighbor was on the roof setting coon traps for his dad when he found this (holds up dress). I know, it gives me the willies too!!!!"

[–] svetafan79 19 years ago

Definitely Mary's excerpt from the hospital bed about her preparation for the pageant last year, as well as her friggin singing while being rolled around in a wheelchair. The *beep* is hysterical.

I also love when the dance lady keeps fanning herself and smoking a cig, all while being perpetually out of breath and saying "Sweet Jesus".. I need to go to IMDB and see what whoever wrote this film have been up to since. It is too funny to believe.

[–] bcarlson1 19 years ago

I forget her name, "We need more bars, Inid ate the whole pan"

Molly's Dad:"Tell the movie man what your talent do"

[–] kmoviestar13 19 years ago

Amber's mom is getting hoisted up into the ambulance after the beauty pagaent

Amber: Oh, they're just giving my mom a ride back to the hospital. She almost flew out of the back of Loretta'spick-up truck on the way over here.

Loretta: Thank God for bungie cord.

AHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!! the delivery is priceless!!
