Quotes
-
Edna Garrett : You know, even Blair would like baseball... if Gucci came out with a catcher's mitt.
-
Blair Warner : [new dress for Harvest Ball] What do you think, Mrs. Garrett?
Edna Garrett : Wow...
Blair Warner : Now I know you might think it's cut a bit low and the eye shadow a bit heavy,
[shakes her head]
Blair Warner : but this is the look that's selling.
Edna Garrett : Oh, no, no, no... I think it's just right for you, Blair. After all, you're the expert on tricks to attract men.
Blair Warner : I guess so.
[smiles]
Edna Garrett : Oh, golly, I'll bet you can have any man you wanted.
Blair Warner : Yeah, probably.
[chuckles]
Edna Garrett : Mm. And I'll bet you have.
Blair Warner : Where did you hear something like that?
Edna Garrett : No, no. It's pretty obvious, you've been around.
Blair Warner : No, I haven't. I don't do those kind of things.
Edna Garrett : Oh, come on. The way you get yourself up. You're so sophisticated. You smoke, and you talk a good game.
Blair Warner : That's just talk,
[shakes her head]
Blair Warner : honest.
Edna Garrett : You know what they say, if you're advertisin', you must be sellin'.
Blair Warner : I'm not that kind of girl! You can ask any guy I've dated. I'm a tease!
Edna Garrett : A tease? Boy, oh boy, oh boy, you sure could have fooled me!
Blair Warner : You just can't jump to conclusions about people that way!
Edna Garrett : That's right. It's all just appearances, isn't it, Blair? And you're absolutely right about jumping to conclusions. I'm sure CIndy would agree with you.
Blair Warner : Cindy?
Edna Garrett : It seems you jumped to a conclusion about her.
Blair Warner : But you've seen her, Mrs. Garrett, she looks more like a boy than a girl.
Edna Garrett : [makes honking sound] Appearances!
Blair Warner : You mean like... what you just thought about me?
Edna Garrett : Hmm.
Blair Warner : Okay, I shouldn't have made that crack about her being strange.
Edna Garrett : That was the crack?
Blair Warner : I didn't mean it. I... I just said it.
Edna Garrett : Mm-hmm?
Blair Warner : I should apologize.
Edna Garrett : Mm. One piece of advice. The sooner, the better.
Blair Warner : You mean now?
Edna Garrett : Now is definitely sooner.
Blair Warner : [softly] I'll go get her.
[heads toward stairs]
Edna Garrett : I'll help you.
[hollers:]
Edna Garrett : Cindy!
