Mean Girls (2004) Quotes

Cady Heron (narration): I had gone from home-schooled jungle freak to shiny Plastic to most hated person in the world to actual human being. All the drama from last year just wasn’t important anymore. School used to be like a shark tank, but now I could just float. Finally, Girl World was at peace. And if any freshmen tried to disturb that peace… Well, let’s just say we knew how to take care of it. (Cady imagines a bus hitting Junior Plastics) Just kidding.

(Cady wins the Spring Fling Queen and gets a crown…)

Cady Heron: Well, half the people in this room are mad at me. And the other half only like me because they think I pushed somebody in front of a bus. So that’s not good.

Principal Duvall: You know, it’s not really required of you to make a speech.

Cady Heron: I’m almost done, I swear. To all the people whose feelings that got hurt by the Burn Book, I’m really sorry. You know, I’ve never been to one of these things before. And when I think about how many people wanted this and how many people cried over it and stuff… I mean, I think everybody looks like royalty tonight. Look at Jessica Lopez. That dress is amazing. And Emma Gerber, I mean, that hairdo must have taken hours, and you look really pretty. So… why is everybody stressing over this thing? I mean, it’s just plastic. Could really just… (breaks the crown) Share it. A piece for Gretchen Wieners, a partial Spring Fling Queen. A piece for Janis Ian.

Principal Duvall: Seriously, most people just take the crown and go.

Cady Heron: And a piece for Regina George. She fractured her spine, and she still looks like a rock star. And some for everybody else.

Cady Heron (narration): The weird thing about hanging out with Regina was that I could hate her, and at the same time, I still wanted her to like me. Same with Gretchen. The meaner Regina was to her, the more Gretchen tried to win Regina back. She knew it was better to be in The Plastics, hating life than to not be in at all. Because being with The Plastics was like being famous. People looked at you all the time, and everybody just knew stuff about you.

Cady Heron (narration): In the regular world, Halloween is when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In Girl World, Halloween is the one nigth a year when a girl can dress like a total sl*t and no other girls can say anything about it. The hard-core girls just wear lingerie and some form of animal ears. Unfortunately, no one told me about the sl*t rule.
