Quotes
-
Vada Sultenfuss : Why is it boys talk so much, when they have nothing to say? And girls have plenty to say, but no one will listen?
-
Rose Zsigmond : And you. I don't suppose your father gave you permission to pierce your ears?
Vada Sultenfuss : Not exactly.
Rose Zsigmond : Well, just don't shave your legs. Your father will never let you visit us again if I send you back hairless and full of holes.
-
Vada Sultenfuss : Life's full of barbaric customs. But I hope they all end with a kiss like that.
-
Vada : Shelly's already told me all about about sex.
Harry Sultenfuss : She told me too. I mean, she told *me* she told *you* about sex. I - I personally knew about sex long before I met Shelly.
Vada : I figured you did.
-
Vada : If I get married, I'll never change my name.
Nick : Why? You think the guy should change his name?
Vada : I don't think anybody should change their names, that way you can't find them when you need them!
Nick : What if you don't want to be found?
Vada : Why do you argue with everything I say?

[first lines]
Vada Sultenfuss : [narration to audience] I remember before I was born, wounded up like a fur ball in the highly overrated fetal position, luckily I'm not claustrophobic, but on rainy days I still felt a tightness in my left shoulder. So now that my stepmother's pregnant, I understand what the baby's going through, and I'm not jealous at all, really, not at all.
-
Vada : I want to be a writer. I want to be just like you.
Alfred Beidermeyer : Hmph. Me? My dear, this is not a country that rewards poetry. This is a country that rewards gas mileage. Besides, people don't read poetry anymore; they watch television. Don't be a poet. Be a TV repairman.

[last lines]
Vada : [voiceover] Things are going great. I got an A on my report, Dad is getting used to my pierced ears and Nick is coming to visit for the summer. Right now, I'm focusing on being a big sister. I want to tell my brother about my mother and all the things she achieved. It turns out, and I know it might sound conceited, but-her greatest achievement was me.
