Quotes 

• Jo Polniaczek : [to reluctant Tootie]  Oh, come with us. It won't be so awful. I'm going. And I *hate* fresh air. It clogs my sinuses.

• Jo Polniaczek : No kidding? A pen pal?

  [chuckles] 

  Jo Polniaczek : That's cute.

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Cute?

  [Jo nods] 

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Teddie's letters would melt the chrome off your exhaust pipe!

• Nancy Olson : This hike is going to be so much fun.

  Jo Polniaczek : I hope you'll be more careful. I heard that last year you and Roger came back with poison ivy.

  Nancy Olson : We also came back going steady.

• Nancy Olson : Tootie, you have no idea what it's like being with a boy up at Cooper's rock.

  Natalie Green : [dreamily]  His shoulders sheltering you from the wind...

  [nods] 

  Blair Warner : [leaning forward]  And then he takes you in his arms, and presses his lips to yours, and your insides turn to tapioca.

  Nancy Olson : Jello.

  Natalie Green : Scrambled eggs.

  Jo Polniaczek : [as if dousing everybody with cold water]  With me, it's pastrami on rye.

  Blair Warner : [to Tootie]  And you are going to feel the same way next weekend. Can you *stand* the wait?

  Edna Garrett : [pops in]  Girls, I think you should take your long underwear on the hike. The temperature really drops at night.

  Nancy Olson : Not with the big boys in the next tent.

  [the girls laugh] 

  Edna Garrett : Down, Nancy! There will be no hanky-panky with me and Mr. Fogerty there to chaperone.

  [heads out] 

  Blair Warner : [to Nancy]  They have to sleep sometime.

  [they laugh] 

  Edna Garrett : [turns back]  We'll take turns.
