Smashley Simpson, Bloody Holly, Maggie Mayhem, Rosa Sparks, Bliss Cavendar: Whoo! Razor: Yeah, let's celebrate mediocrity! That's fantastic.
Bliss Cavendar: [helping Pash to the toilet] Come on, let's get this out. Pash: [belches low] It's cool. I swallowed it. Bliss Cavendar: Come on, just stick your fingers down your throat. You'll feel better. Pash: No! You stick your fingers down YOUR throat. Bliss Cavendar: ...Pash... you ever thought... about your parents making love... your dad's naked body... Pash: ...WHAT? Bliss Cavendar: His balls jiggling... sweaty? Pash: nnoo! [throws up, heaving] Pash: [whimpers] That's not fair!
Maggie Mayhem: Ma'am, put down the lip gloss and step away from the mirror.
Brooke Cavendar: I'm supposed to buy you shoes from a... a head shop? Does that really strike you as responsible parenting? Bliss Cavendar: Fine, the shoes are a gateway drug.
Earl Cavender: I can take losing the money. I cannot take losing the chance for our kid to be happy.
Bliss Cavendar: We deserve better villains.
'Hot Tub' Johnny Rocket: Hey. Black Widows, my spidey senses are tingling. About to make a sequel in my pants Eva Destruction: Yeah? Spider-Man 3 1/2? 'Hot Tub' Johnny Rocket: Yeah, it is 3 1/2 inches. Wide. [trombone noises] 'Hot Tub' Johnny Rocket: Air trombone, yeah.
Bliss Cavendar: Screw you and your grandmother's Chevy Celebrity!
Earl Cavender: I like smart girls. That's why I married your mama. Well, that and I knocked her up.
[Bliss is waiting on a table occupied by Corbi, Colby and their friends] Colby: What's the name of that thing that if I eat it real fast, it's free? Bliss Cavendar: That's the Squealer. You have to eat it in three minutes or less. Colby: [ponders briefly] Yeah. You bring me a Squealer. And I don't mean Corbi. [Colby laughs and grabs Corbi in a groping hug, and Corbi mock-squeals loudly]
Oliver: Wow, from here it kinda looks like you're wearing a stryper t-shirt. Bliss Cavendar: stryper? Yeah, 80's christian heavy metal. I mean in the name of jesus we rock.
Iron Maven: Nice jump, Evel Knievel. Bliss Cavendar: Thanks. Maybe I'll teach it to you some time. Iron Maven: [a little surprised] Really? Bliss Cavendar: Yeah. Iron Maven: [smiles] Okay.
Bliss Cavendar: Is this what you do with all the girls? Take them here to show off your skills? Oliver: Yeah, and it usually works too. Bliss Cavendar: Oh yeah? Maybe we should do something different.
[Bliss finds Iron Maven waiting for her at the Warehouse] Iron Maven: Ruthless, Ruthless, Ruthless. Bliss Cavendar: [hesitatingly] Maven, Maven, Maven? Iron Maven: Hey, guess how old I am. Bliss Cavendar: [guessing] 27? Iron Maven: [not at all touched] Oh, that's sweet. I'm 36. Guess when I started skating. I was 31. 'Cause it took me that long to find one thing that I was really good at. [Iron Maven stands, staring intently at Bliss] Iron Maven: And you know what? I worked my ass off to get it. Bliss Cavendar: [nervously] Yeah, me too. Iron Maven: [smirks briefly] It's too bad you're only 17. [Bliss stares in shock] Iron Maven: What do you think the league is gonna say when they find that out? Or your teammates, when they find out you've been lying? That's gonna be rough. Bliss Cavendar: [pleading desperately] Maven, please, look... Iron Maven: [cutting her off] No, you look. One day it will be your time, Ruthless, but it's not your time now. And if I was you, I wouldn't even bother lacing up those skates. [Iron Maven walks away, and Bliss hangs her head and cries] Bliss Cavendar: Fuck.
Bliss Cavendar: I'm gonna puke!
Corbi: So, what are you, like, alternative now? Bliss Cavendar: Alternative to what?
Pash: [On going to Austin, TX alone] But you don't have the balls. Bliss Cavendar: I can grow the balls...
[Bliss has knocked Corbi off a stair banister at school] Colby: You can't do that! Pash: She just di-iid!
