Quotes
-
Tootie Ramsey : Remember me, your little worker-bee?
Blair Warner : Did I really call you that? Oh forgive me!
-
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Stop it, Blair.
Blair Warner : Stop what?
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : You're driving me crazy! You're trying too hard, you're...
Natalie Green : Overcompensating.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Yeah, overcompensating.
Blair Warner : I am not.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : [holds up the arms on the too large sweater Blair gave her] Blair, *this* is overcompensating. And what do you call circling Abraham Lincoln's birthday on my calendar? And waking me up every morning by singing 'We Shall Overcome'?
Blair Warner : I was just trying to be nice, Tootie.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Just be my friend, okay?
-
Jo Polniaczek : You know if you really want to raise money, you gotta provide a service that everybody needs, like a car wash.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : A car wash?
Jo Polniaczek : Sure, everybody drives cars, and like my Uncle Frank used to say, 'The one thing you can really count on in this world is dirt'.
-
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : [walks in wearing a sweater too long for her arms] What do you think?
Natalie Green : You couldn't get it in blue?
Jo Polniaczek : Who gave you that, Bigfoot?
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : It's Blair's.
Edna Garrett : Not again.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Again! So far she's given me 5 sweaters, a wool skirt, and I keep finding credit cards under my pillow.
Jo Polniaczek : Maybe they're from the tooth fairy.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : I don't think the tooth fairy has this kind of bread.
Edna Garrett : Well remember girls, what Blair needs now is patience, and understanding.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : I tried to tell Blair that I don't blame her for what her grandfather did.
Natalie Green : What'd she say?
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : That she understood, then she laid another sweater on me.

Blair Warner : Listen everybody, I've made a decision... how does the Carlton Blair Library of Black Studies sound to you?
Jo Polniaczek : ...Black... studies?
Natalie Green : Your grandfather'd get a big kick out of that.
Blair Warner : The library will be entirely devoted to black history, black heroes, black music...
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : A *section* on black studies is a good idea, but I haven't finished polling the rest of the students to see what they want.
