[edit] Mia Thermopolis

  • Tell me, how does my mother, or any person for that matter, go into a parent/teacher conference and come out with a date?
  • Me? A...A princess? SHUT...UP!
  • I can't be a princess! I'm still waiting for the normal body parts to arrive!
  • Just in case I wasn't enough of a freak already, let's add a tiara!
  • Somebody sat on me again.
  • [Mia is sitting in her broken-down car, in the rain] Is this punishment for driving without a licensed driver in the front seat?!?
  • I am invisible... and I am wet.
  • I wondered how I would feel after abdicating my throne as princess of Genovia, would I feel happy? Would I feel sad? And then I realized, how many stupid times a day I say the word 'I'.
  • This morning when I woke up, I was Mia Thermopolis. But now, I choose to be, forevermore, Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi, princess of Genovia.
  • Please don't crush my soy nuts.

[edit] Joe

  • No matter how many times you push that button, it will still go up and down the same way.
  • This is a non-riot hearse! And if it were a hearse, there would be silence in the back seat!
  • I have never worn pantyhose but it sounds very dangerous.
  • [last lines] Princess, look out the window... And welcome to Genovia.

[edit] Lily Moscovitz

  • Is your mom dating an undertaker?
  • [to Joe] You know you look like Shaft?
  • [to Michael and Mia] WAIT UP YOU GUYS! WAIT FOR ME! [two other students stop for her] No, not you, I don't even know you!
  • I'm taking your charm off of my charm bracelet AND IT'S GOING IN THE DIRT!!

[edit] Paolo

  • I love your eyebrows. We'll call them Frida and Kahlo. If Brooke Shields married Groucho Marx, their child would have your eyebrows.

[edit] PA Annoucements

  • Will the Feng Shui club please stop rearranging the tables on the lawn?
  • Remember, virtual homework may not be submitted for actual credit.

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all. From now on you'll be traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be. The key is to allow yourself to make the journey."
-Edward Renaldi (Mia's father), from his letter to Mia for her 16th birthday

[edit] Dialogue

Queen Clarisse: (upon first seeing Mia) You look so...young.
Mia: Uh, thank you. And you look so... (Clarisse raises her eyebrows) clean.
Mia: I can't do this, I'm a girl!
Gym Teacher Harbula: What am I, a duck?
Queen Clarisse: Where is she going?
Helen: To the tower. [runs after Mia] Mia, you can't run away from everything!
Queen Clarisse: [to herself] She has a tower?
Mia: Joe, can you drop us off a block from the school? I don't want to cause a riot with this hearse.
Joe: This is a non-riot hearse. If it were a hearse, there would be silence in the backseat.
[Joe is teaching Mia how to dance.]
Joe: This is betweeen a waltz and a tango.
Mia: It's a wango?
Mia: You broke my glasses!
Paolo: You broke my brush.
Joe: Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Mia: Eleanor Roosevelt said that.
