Quotes 

• Ms. Norbury : Raise your hand if you have ever been personally victimized by Regina George?

  [she watches all students and teachers raise hands] 

• Crying Girl : [reading from paper]  I wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school... I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy...

  [about to cry] 

  Damian : [shouting from back]  She doesn't even go here!

  Ms. Norbury : Do you even go to this school?

  Crying Girl : No... I just have a lot of feelings...

  Ms. Norbury : Ok go home...

  [girl walks off stage] 

  Ms. Norbury : Next!

• Ms. Norbury : [after implying that an elderly biker is her boyfriend]  I'm kidding. Sometimes older people make jokes too.

  Damian : My grandma takes her wig off when she's drunk.

  Ms. Norbury : Your grandmother and I have that in common.

• Ms. Norbury : Ok, so we're all here 'cause of this book, right? Well, I don't know who wrote this book, but you all have got to stop calling each other sluts and whores. It just makes it ok for guys to call you sluts and whores. Who here has ever been called a slut?

  [Karen raise her hand proudly] 

  Ms. Norbury : [Joan the Secretary raise her hand shyly] 

• Mr. Duvall : So, uh... how was your summer?

  Ms. Norbury : I got divorced.

  Mr. Duvall : Oh. My carpal tunnel came back.

  Ms. Norbury : I win.

• Mr. Duvall : Well, I just wanted to let everyone know that we have a new student joining us. She just moved here all the way from Africa.

  Ms. Norbury : [to black Michigan girl]  Welcome!

  Michigan Girl : [offended]  I'm from Michigan!

  Ms. Norbury : Great!

• Ms. Norbury : [handing Cady her test back]  Not your best.

  Kevin Gnapoor : Damn, Africa, what happened?

• Ms. Norbury : Oh, hi. Did you wanna buy some drugs?

• Ms. Norbury : [to Cady]  I know having a boyfriend might seem like the only thing important to you right now, but you don't have to dumb yourself down in order for a guy to like you.

• Ms. Norbury : You nervous?

  Cady : Yes.

  Ms. Norbury : Don't be. You can do this. There's nothing to break your focus, because not one of those Marymount boys is cute.

• Damian : You can't join Mathletes, it's social suicide!

  Ms. Norbury : Thanks, Damian.

• Damian : My nanna takes her wig off when she is drunk.

  Ms. Norbury : Your nanna and I have that in common.

• Cady : [Deleted scene]  I couldn't apologize to Ms. Norbury without getting blamed for the whole Burn Book. And then she said it, the worst thing you could hear from any adult.

  Ms. Norbury : Your parents have been eaten by cannibals!

  Cady : Okay, the second worst.

  Ms. Norbury : I'm really disappointed in you, Cady.

• Regina : Can I just say that we don't have a clique problem at this school? And some of us shouldn't have to take this workshop because some of us are just victims in this situation.

  Ms. Norbury : That's probably true. How many of you have ever felt personally victimized by Regina George?

  [everybody in the room raises their hand] 

  Ms. Norbury : Good.
