Quotes

Molly: It's fun your mom thinks we're boning.

Amy: It isn't you who has to deal with their awkward looks when I say that I'm going to the library with you and I'm actually going to the library with you.


Gigi: I lost my virginity in what I thought was a park but... it turned out to be a graveyard, and now the ghost spirits live inside my eggs waiting to be reborn.


Triple A: Can you not call me Triple A at college next year?

Molly: Sure... Annabelle.

Triple A: Ew, fuck. Not now.


Molly: We haven't done anything. We haven't broken any rules.

Amy: Okay, we've broken a lot of rules. One: We have fake IDs.

Molly: Fake college IDs, so we can get into their 24-hour library.

Amy: Name one person whose life was so much better because they broke a couple of rules.

Molly: Picasso.

Amy: He broke art rules. Name a person who broke a real rule.

Molly: Rosa Parks.

Amy: Name another one.

Molly: Susan B. Anthony.

Amy: God dammit.


Amy: We'll probably just do a Korean face-mask.

Charmaine: I don't need to know all the words.


Principal Brown: There's nothing more exciting and daunting than the blank page. Oh, that's good. Maybe I'll do a book of quotes.

[He starts recording on his phone]

Principal Brown: There's nothing more exciting or daunting than the blank page.


Molly: You guys don't even care about school.

Triple A: No, we just don't only care about school.


Molly: Gigi, where the fuck you going to school next year?

Gigi: Don't judge me. It was my fifth choice: Harvard.


Molly: You can make yourself cum using only your mind? That's like the one thing my mind can't do.


[Amy is being put into a police car by a cop]

Amy: Shotgun! Just kidding. I don't have one.


Triple A: I'm incredible at hand-jobs but I also got a fifteen-sixty on the SATs.


Molly: You failed the seventh grade twice.

Theo: Rule of threes.


Molly: Amy, do you know how many girls are gonna be up your vagina next year? Every time I come visit you, you're gonna be scissoring a different girl.

Amy: Dude, scissoring is not a thing.

Molly: Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Amy: It's not a thing.

Molly: Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Amy: I'm not knocking it, I'm just saying it isn't a thing.

Molly: How about you don't knock it until you've tried it?


Amy: Time for us to do what we do best.

Molly: What's that?

Amy: Motherfucking homework.


Molly: [On Gigi and Jared] They spend every minute together, it's so weird.

Amy: We spend every minute together.

Molly: We are equals. Gigi just keeps Jared around for when she needs a liver.


Jared: Prepare to get bashed! In a fun way, like consensually bashed, I mean. Consensually bashed, it should say. Prepare to get consensually bashed.


Molly: Dude, you were so scary.

Amy: If you were actually a criminal, you'd be the best criminal in Los Angeles.


Theo: Can I see you again?

Miss Fine: Good luck at Google next year.

[Miss Fine leaves as Triple A approaches]

Triple A: Did you fuck Miss Fine?


Motivational Voice: Fuck those losers. Fuck them right in their stupid fucking faces.


Gigi: I'm a Golden Starfish!

[Falls into a swimming pool]


[Amy shows Molly how to use mace]

Amy: Mace. Listen, it is very important that you keep the safety...

[the mace sprays past Molly's face]

Molly: Oh. Amy!

[Molly runs out of the room]

Amy: This wasn't on. Don't touch your eyes!


[Amy and Molly pop up in the back of Pat's car, using their hair as masks, and scream]

Pat the Pizza Guy: What the fuck is this?

Molly: We ask the questions!


Molly: We are not one-dimensional. We are smart and fun!


Molly: We missed out. We didn't go to parties because we wanted to focus on school and get into good colleges.

Amy: And it worked!


Molly: Malala

Amy: Whoa

Molly: I'm calling Malala.

Amy: Wow. You know you only get,like, one Malala a year?

Molly: Yeah, I'm calling it. Full support, no questions asked, you are coming with me.


Jared: Can I get a "what what"?

Amy: Oh my god.


Amy: [about Jared and Gigi after they arrived at school] Here comes the 1%.


Molly: Nobody knows we're fun.


Molly: This is not a time to celebrate, let's go to a party tonight.


Jared: So, Molly actually warned me she might be a little late and tapped me to start her speech.

Principal Brown: Wait, wait, Molly Davidson's gonna be late to graduation?

Jared: Yeah.

Principal Brown: Okay, that doesn't sound like her.

Jared: Right. Well, uh, she also asked me to remind you that... um... um... I got it. Uh... "this sort of thing happens all the time on the senate floor, and if a senator isn't present for a vote..."

Principal Brown: Okay. Okay.

Jared: "... a proxy..."

Principal Brown: Great. Okay, that does sound like her.

Jared: "... for the vote to take place... in his or her absence."

Principal Brown: I got it.


Jared: [yelling to Amy and Molly] You guys hungry? I got some soup dumps!

Gigi: [lying on the roof of Jared's car] Keep it down out there!


Molly: Yeah, Amy's spending the summer in Botswana helping women make their own tampons.

George: That's... gross.

Amy: Well, blood attracts lions. I'm saving lives.


Amy: Sorry, are you talking about porn?

Molly: All I'm saying...

Amy: No.

Molly: No one will know if you watched one porn one time. Think of it as a documentary. It's just a sexy documentary. It's a hot doc.

Amy: All of those women are European trafficking victims.

Molly: Excuse me, ma'am, are you judging other people's sexual preferences? 'Cause you fuck a panda every night.


Jared: Sorry I'm late. Traffic was nuts.
