• Julie : Who the fuck are you?

  [slams Courtney roughly into the locker] 

  Courtney : What?

  Julie : They found some poor guy and they charge him with murder? What have you done, Courtney? What have you done?

  Courtney : It's just what I had to do, dear.

  Julie : What? Destroy another life, Courtney?

  Courtney : Life's a bitch, then you die.

  Julie : No, honey, you're the bitch!

  Courtney : [leans in tauntingly]  Oh, so aggressive, Julie! It kind of turns me on!

  Marcie : I'm sure Fern likes it.

  Courtney : Come on, Marce. This train wreck's getting old.

• Courtney : I killed Liz. I killed the teen dream. Deal with it.

• Courtney : Okay, reality check. Liz is in the trunk of this car and she is dead. That is a sad, fucked up thing, but you are going to walk into that school and strut your shit down the hallway like everything is peachy *fucking* keen.

• Courtney : Never send a rose unless dyed black as a warning. And if one is sent to you, destroy it along with the sender. Emotionally of course. It's not like we kill people...

  [a pause as Marcie and Vylette look at Courtney, horrified] 

  Courtney : on purpose.

• Courtney : I don't believe we've met, what with the cruel politics of high school and all.

• Courtney : Wait a minute.

  Julie : What?

  Courtney : Rape. They'll check to see if she was raped, right? Maybe Liz had a friend over, you know. Mommy and Daddy's last night away. Maybe he's from school, maybe not, but definitely into kink. He got a little rough, went a little too far, you know. There's a fine line between pleasure and pain. She screamed for help, but no one could hear her. Her screams were muffled by the huge candy ball. She tried, but there was nothing. Only sugary sweet death.

  Marcie : Oh my God. That like, totally gave me the chills.

• Courtney : I taught you to disrespect us?

  Fern : You taught me to rule.

  Courtney : That's right! Rule, bitch! But don't forget who made you!

• [Julie approaches Fern, now turned into Vylette, who in turn is with Courtney and Marcie] 

  Marcie : Do you smell something?

  Julie : Hi, Fern.

  Courtney : I don't know a Fern?

  Marcie : There is no Fern.

  Vylette : It's Vylette.

  Julie : What?

  Vylette : My name's Vylette.

  Courtney : Learn it.

  Marcie : Live it.

  Marcie , Courtney : Love it.

• Courtney : [to Fern\Vylette]  I made you and I can break you just as easily.

  Vylette : Good idea. Kill me like you did Liz.

• Courtney : What a fucking tearjerker. Look, Marce, it's like "Terms of Endearment Part III" only this time, the boyfriend's gay.

  Marcie : Yeah, and the rest of the cast sucks!

• Courtney : They'll believe it because it's thier worst nightmare: Elizabeth Purr, the very picture of teenage perfection, obliterated by perversion.

• Courtney : I have this gift. I can smell a lie.

• Courtney : [to Dane]  You like it?

  Dane : It's okay.

  Courtney : Okay? There's nothing kinky about "okay," now is there?

• Courtney : [to Julie]  Listen, bitch. One word and you're over. I mean that.

  Julie : I'm not scared of you anymore, Courtney.

  Courtney : We saw you. We all know you did it.

  Julie : No one will ever believe you!

  Courtney : Ask Fern, ask Marcie. We saw everything.

  Julie : You fucking liar.

  Courtney : One word and you perish. I promise you that. Toodles!

• Marcie : AHH! She is gonna die! This is so much better than what we did last year!

  Courtney : I wish I had friends that would do this for me!

  Julie : Yeah, right! You'd have us killed!

  Courtney : Brutally maimed, my dear.

• Courtney : You knew Liz Purr right?

  Fern : I... I know of her.

  Courtney : Knew of her. Past tense. She's dead, Fern. She died, but we've got a bit of a problem because you know we did it. You heard us. That gives you a little something, Fern, and it's called power. The power to tell, and you're the kind of girl that tells. A tattle-tale.

  Marcie : A rat.

• Marcie : [when Marcie moves Liz's head]  AHH!

  Courtney : What?

  Marcie : She looked at me. I swear to God, she looked at me.

  Courtney : Her eyes are open. She has to look somewhere. My God, Marcie, she's dead. Relax.

• Julie : We have to call someone right now!

  [Marcie nods] 

  Courtney : No way!

  Julie : Why not? You said it was an accident!

  [passerby car's horn honks, and Courtney steps on the brakes, causing the corpse in the trunk to shift and make a loud bumping noise] 

  Marcie : Oh, my God, did you hear that? I think I'm gonna be sick!

  Courtney : Sick? That's it, Liz is sick.

  Julie : Courtney, she is dead!

  Courtney : Does the school know that? I don't think so.

  Julie : What? You can not just call in sick for her! We have to tell somebody! Liz is...

  Courtney : ...dead. Liz is dead! Do you have any idea what that means?

  Marcie : You're a shoo-in for prom queen?

  Julie : That is so not funny. Our best friend is dead!

  Courtney : People are not gonna be pleased.

  Julie : [tearfully]  But they'll understand!

  Courtney : No! *You* understand! I am nothing, but I was cute enough to play a clever little prank on my girlfriend for her birthday. Gimme the phone!

• Courtney : Food's cool and all. You need it to live, but the mere act of eating invokes thoughts of digestion, flatulation, defecation. Even shall we say, complexion defection.

• Courtney : Well, if it isn't the beautiful people!

  Brenda : Courtney, I've been meaning to tell you, you are to-die to-die!

  Courtney : Thank you, my dear.

  Marcie : [talking to her date]  I'm so bored tonight. I think it's time for a little room service.

  Courtney : Marcie! Reality check. I think there's a certain announcement that needs to be made.

  Dane : Yeah. Give it up for the prom queen.

  Marcie : Oh my god, Courtney. I am so sorry!

  Courtney : It's okay, Marce. We can't all be up to speed, can we, girls?

• [Julie Freeman approaches Courtney Shayne and Marcie Fox] 

  Courtney : Look what the kitty dragged in.

  Marcie : Meow.

• Dane : Don't go.

  Courtney : Don't come.

• [Vylette, in her pink dress, gets out of her red Corvette] 

  Vylette : Hi, girls!

  [Vylette walks past them] 

  Courtney : What's wrong with this picture?

• Courtney : First, we're gonna stuff her pretty face with pancakes, then tie her to the flagpole in her bra and undies and watch the humiliation begin.

  Marcie : She is gonna die!

• Julie : It's over Courtney.

  Courtney : I am petrified.

• Marcie : Trends change. People change. It's all about details. Pay attention to details. Look at my nails. In junior high, I wore only pink. Now it makes me puke. So I change. See? It's called Demented. Seriously, the color's called Demented.

  Courtney : Mine? Decayed. Like Julie. Our friendship with her is decayed. Rot. Julie is over. Done, null and void. In two weeks, no one will know her including you. From now on, you don't know her. Never knew her. She's like Fern Mayo. A bad dream. Get it?

• Marcie : This is a joke, right? This is a total joke. Say it's a joke!

  Courtney : It was supposed to be for fun.

  Marcie : Oh, my God. This isn't happening. Say this isn't happening!

  Courtney : I just didn't want her to scream.

  Julie : Oh, God. Oh, God, Liz!

  Courtney : I thought a jawbreaker would be funny.

  Julie : You gagged her with a jawbreaker?

• Julie : I don't know if I can do this, Courtney.

  Courtney : It's just a day, like any other day. Now, what would we do on any other day?

  Marcie : Pre-lunch touchups?

  Courtney : That's right, Marcie. Take a long, hard look in the mirror, girls. It's beauty time.

• Courtney : I know you. I know all about you. You're the one in the corner that the geeks won't dance with because they're at home fucking old pervs in cyberspace, thinking they're doing some hot babe. There's nothing to hide, Fern. You're nothing. We're everything. You're the shadow, we're the sun. But I'm here to offer you something you never dreamed of. Something that you were never meant to be, but will be. Because today, Fern, my dear, fate has decided that you are cool. We're gonna make you... one of us. Beautiful, popular, loved, feared. All you've ever dreamed of. If, and only if, you never, ever tell anyone what you heard. Think of it.

  Julie : This is sick, Courtney. You don't own someone by making them beautiful. A makeover can't hide the truth.

  Courtney : Liz is gone, Fern. Take her place.

• Courtney : Fern, I need you to be completely honest with us. And I know you will be, because you're an honest kind of gal. Tell us, did you hear anything? And let's not lie. I have this gift. I can smell a lie.

  Julie : Leave her alone, Courtney.

  Courtney : Fern is a big girl, Julie. She can speak for herself.

  Julie : Fern, come on. I'm gonna take you home.

  [walks up to Fern then Courtney stops her] 

  Fern : [softly]  Homework.

  Courtney : What?

  Fern : I was sent with Liz's homework.

  Marcie : Isn't that nice? Heh, heh.

  Courtney : And you heard us? It's okay, Fern. No one's gonna hurt you.

  Fern : [terrified]  I don't know.

  Julie : She don't know.

  Courtney : We're all girlfriends here. It's just between us. What do you know?

  Julie : She doesn't know anything.

  Courtney : Come on, Fern. Say what you heard. Come on, Fern. Say it! What did you hear?

  [Fern gets more terrified, then sees Liz's corpse body on her bed, she screams in terror and runs downstairs] 

  Courtney : Marcie, get her!
