Quotations

Maybe this whole relationship is just better off in cyberspace.

[narrating] It was the kind of place where diet was a four letter word, and grease came at no additional charge.

[ending monologue] As for Austin and me, well, I finally got my cell phone back. We ended up going to Princeton together, and we lived happily ever after. Well, at least for now. Hey, I'm just a freshman!

[to Sam] There's something I've always wanted to tell you: you're not very pretty, and you're not very bright. Glad we had this talk.

[to Sam] People go to school to get smarter, so that they can get a job. You already have a job, so it's like skipping a step.

I have never seen my husband's hidden will before.

Sam's Dad: Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

Carter: Have no fear! Zorro is here... [slight pause] AND HE'S GOT THE KEYS TO HIS DAD'S MERCEDES!
