Mr. Stratford - I delivered a set of twins to a fifteen-year-old this morning. You know what
she said to me?Bianca - I'm a crack whore who should have made my skeezy boyfriend
wear a condom?Mr. Stratford - Close, but no. She said, I should have listened to my father.
Bianca: She did not. Mr. Stratford: well she would have if she hadnt been so doped up.
Cameron - Yeah, yeah, I noticed she's (Katarina) a little... antisocial. Why is that?Bianca Unsolved Mystery.
Cameron - I thought you hated those people (A-list people).Michael - Yeah, but that was
before I knew I had a shot at being one.

Mr. Stratford - Oh, I'm down, I've got the 411. And you are not going out and getting jiggy
with some boy. I don't care how dope his ride is.
Mr. Stratford - Fathers don't like to admit when their daughters are capable of running their
own lives. It means we've become spectators. Bianca still lets me play a few innings.
You've had me on the bench for years. And when you go to Sarah Lawrence (a college), I
won't even be able to watch the game.
Katarina - You can't just buy me a guitar every time you screw up, you know.Patrick Yeah, I know. But there's always drums and a bass, and maybe even some day a
tambourine.
Bianca - Bye Daddy!Mr. Stratford - Stop. Turn. ExplainBianca - Okay, remember how you
said I could date if Kat dated? Well, she found this guy, who's actually kind of perfect for
her, which is actually kind of perfect for me, because Cameron asked me to the prom and I
really wanted to go, and now that Kat went, I'm allowed to -- based on the aforementioned
rule and it's previous stipulations, of course.
Bianca - Can we for two seconds ignore the fact that you are severely unhinged and discuss
my need for a night of teenage normalcy?Mr. Stratford - And what's normal? Those damn

you?Katarina - No I'm really looking forward to writing it.Mr. Morgan - Get out of my
class!Katarina - What?Mr. Morgan - Out, get out!Joey - Thanks Mr. MorganMr. Morgan Shut up
Joey - Uh, Mr. Morgan, is there any chance we can get Kat to take her Midol before she
comes to class?Mr. Morgan - Some day, you're going to get b*tched slapped and I'm not
going to do a thing to stop it(turns to Kat) And Kat, I want to thank you for your point of
view, I know how difficult it must be for you to over come all those years of upper middle
class oppression, it must be tough, but the next time you storm the PTA crusading for better
lunch meat or whatever you white girls complain about, ask them why they can't buy a book
written by a black man.White Bob Marley Wannabes - That's right MON!Mr. Morgan Don't even get me started on you two
Patrick - You're not afraid of me are you?Katarina - Afraid of you? Why would I be afraid

not afraid of me, but I'm sure you've thought of me naked (wink)Katarina - (sarcastically)
Am I that transparent? I want you, I need you, oh baby, oh baby.
Mr. Stratford - You're 18, you don't know what you want, and you won't know what you
want till you're 45, and even if you get it, you'll be too old to use it.
Bianca - Where'd you come from, planet loser?Katerina - As opposed to planet
Mr. Stratford - Whoops? My insurance doesn't cover PMS!
Patrick - Who knocked up your sister?

alright with you.Bianca - Not the hacking and gagging and spitting part, please.Cameron Well, uh, there is an alternative.Bianca - There is?Cameron - Yeah, French food. We could
eat some together, uh, Saturday night?Bianca - You're asking me out? That's so cute. What's
your name again?
