Lizzie McGuire
[edit]- Goodbye Lizzie McGuire, hello fabulous.
- I WAS hoping for smooth sailing in high school but, this will do!
- I'm like, physically incapable of sneaking.
- [animated version, on the phone] Prince William? Tell him I'll have to hold.
- That would mean I would have to sneak away from the group. I'm like physically incapable of sneaking
- This is impossible, I could never sing in front of an audience. I don't even let my mom hear me in the shower.
Dialogue
[edit]- [At graduation]
- Lizzie: Hey, Gordo! So, do I look okay?
- Gordo: Lizzie, I'm your guy best friend, you should really talk to Miranda about this stuff.
- Lizzie: But she's in Mexico City!
- Gordo: Yes, your blue robe looks way cooler than all the other girls'.
- Lizzie: Hey! You know this Paolo and Isabella CD isn't so bad. I mean if you're into the Alanis Morissette-y alternative, dark, like brooding, I-never-go-out-into-the-sunshine-and-my-life's-a-miserable-black-hole-of-depression kinda thing, then you'd think they stink. But I mean for a like driving-around-in-the-car-with-the-top-down-putting-on-your-lip-gloss-loving-life kinda thing, they're good! Here, listen...
- [he leans close so they can share the headphones]
- Gordo: Not bad. You use scented soap, huh?
- Lizzie: What?
- Gordo: Uh... n-never mind.
- Matt McGuire: What is that?
- Gordo: That is Miss Ungermeyer. Get on her good side, and it's your one-way ticket to an Ivy League School. But if you get on her bad side...
- Janitor: [passing by with mop bucket] ... excuse me, gotta clean up some vomit.
- Matt McGuire: You end up like that guy?
- Gordo': You end up working for that guy.
- Ethan: When are we going to eat spaghetti?
- Kate: Its like nine in the morning.
- Ethan: So what? You've never had spaghetti for breakfast before?
- Kate: I don't eat carbs!
- Ethan: So I suppose you've never had a spaghetti sandwich before?
- Kate: This experience is so totally wasted on you...
- Miss Ungermeyer: Craft! Sanders! Separate!
- Kate: Oh, we did! And thank god!
- Miss Ungermeyer: Ok, let's try something at your education level and take a ten minute shopping break while I choke down an espresso.
- Miss Ungermeyer: You tell us where Lizzie is or this deck is gonna catch some serious air!(She holds his skateboard out the window)
- Ethan: Well it's possible that she's at the Italian Music Video Awards doubling for the Italian pop star Isabella who's like totally her twin.
- [pause]
- Ethan: Why does everyone always look at me like that?
- Ethan: The sting.
- Gordo: What sting?
- Ethan: You want a little mano a mano?
- Gordo: See, this is one of the reasons that me and you aren't friends. 'Cause I-I never have any idea what you're talking about.
- Ethan: Ya, see. Some dudes get the approach. Others, the sting. That Italian dude? He's big-time approach.
- Gordo: I actually feel my brain turning into goo.
- Ethan: Embrace the sting. That's what you're vibin' here from Lizzie.
- Gordo: Wait a minute. Now, you actually think that I'm jealous of Paolo.
- Ethan: Word.
- Gordo: [chuckling] Oh, no. No, see, that would mean that I like Lizzie as more than a friend.
- Ethan: See? What do you mean you and I have trouble communicating, bro?
- Gordo: [annoyed] You're wrong, man!
- [Isabella stands opposite Lizzie, and Gordo is freaked out by the resemblance]
- Gordo: Freaky, huh?
- Lizzie: Way freaky!
- Isabella: [in her Italian accent] Way, way freaky!
- [Jo McGuire is trying to get assistance from the hotel desk clerk]
- Jo McGuire: That's McGuire, Lizzie McGuire.
- Giorgio: Yes, we are in the travel guides.
- Jo McGuire: No, no, we're the parents of Lizzie.
- Giorgio: Ah. l Via Liuzzi. I call a cab. Is very far.
- Jo McGuire: Anyone else want to step up to the plate?
- Isabella: [holding up a tabloid picture] Who is this girl? I've been on the island this whole time...
- Gordo: [crawls underneath the mob] I can explain. That's my friend, Lizzie McGuire.
- [He is dragged up to his feet by two security guards]
- Isabella: [to security guards] Put him down, put him down. [looks around, turns to Gordo] We need to talk... in private.
- [Isabella pulls him away]
