Quotations

Morning sunshine. Remember, these are the best days of your life, so far. (winks)

No one ever got ahead by sitting on their behind.

I'm not gonna get an abortion, I always planned on getting married and having kids, I'm just going a little out of order. It kinda reminds me of another young lady, who found herself with child, unmarried, on a long, long road with no place to sleep. Of course that was a long, long time ago. No matter what, she held her head high, and said, "Papa, don't preach, I'm in trouble deep. Papa, don't preach, 'cause I've made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby.

It's off. I can't take the fighting, the back-stabbing, the open hostility. We're not acting like cheerleaders, we're acting like a bunch of sorority girls!

Morning sunshine. Remember, except for the morning sickness, the blinding back-pain and the embarrassingly unpredictable gas, these are the best days of your life... so far.

You know, even the most beautiful flowers still grow from dirt. And we may be knee-deep in it right now, but we're gonna grow strong from this.

Truth is, they're so close, they all get their monthly visit from Aunt Rose at the same time.

Now I know it's my job to give you all the facts, so, I'm gonna have to says their cheer blew like a bulemic after Christmas dinner.

Jack was fine. Man, was he fine! It was like he was a bar of chocolate and the whole school was on the rag.

(Cheerleaders shout "Hey, ho, let's go".) I don't know about they "hey" part, but "ho" is right on the money.
