Quotes 

• Becky : Dawn! You're beautiful! Your skin looks like a normal person's!

  Dawn : Thank You!

• Becky : Hiya there, Earl! We all just agreed that your hair is super attractive! Hooray for you! Whoo-hoo!

  Dawn : [simultaneously with Becky]  Whoo-hoo!

• Dawn : I don't care if she is a pie genius. I wouldn't trade places with her.

  Becky : No, me neither.

• Dawn : They are poems that just occur to him on the spot. Last night he said to me, "Dawn, your face is a brilliant moon in my empty room. Your love is like a beating drum. Ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum."

• Dawn : I know what you should do with that prize money, Jenna. You should open your own pie shop.

  Becky : Oh, yeah! You should have your own little pie shop somewhere. Somewhere where they could really use a little pie shop, like Europe or New Jersey.

• Becky : [as Jenna waits for the results of her pregnancy test]  Negative. Negative. Come on, negative. Come on!

  Dawn : Dear Lord, please protect our Jenna from the hell of unwanted pregnancy.

  Jenna : I don't need no baby. I don't want no trouble. I just want to make pies. That's all I wanna do, make pies.

  Becky : I thought you weren't sleeping with your husband no more.

  Dawn : He got her drunk one night.

  Jenna : I should never drink. I do stupid things when I drink, like sleep with my husband.

• Dawn : Leave me alone!

  Ogie : I can't leave you alone, 'cause I'm in love with you, Dawn, and you're gonna be my wife.

  Dawn : Listen to me! You make me sick! I think you're nothing but a crazy little freak and I wish you would go away and DIE!

  [diners look over and Ogie begins to cry] 

  Dawn : [meekly]  I'm sorry, hon.

• Dawn : You gotta help me.

  Jenna : What is going on?

  Dawn : That guy, his name is Ogie, short for "Oklahoma". I was supposed to meet some guy named Pete last night, instead he sent Ogie. It was the worst five minutes of my life.

  Jenna : How can a five minute blind date be that bad?

  Dawn : He took me through the entire medical and psychiatric history of his family.

  Jenna : Oh, no.

  Dawn : And he told me he wants to marry me.

  Jenna : Oh, no!

  Dawn : Marry me! And he's not giving up, not ever giving up. First guy that pays any attention to me in years and he turns out to be the mad, stalking elf.

• Dawn : I feel sorry for you, Jenna. I mean, I'd do anything to meet a man, and Becky's husband is a senile fruitcake.

  Becky : Dawn!

  Dawn : Well, I'm sorry. It's true.

• Becky : Look at this, Jenna. As you can plainly see, my right boob is much higher than my left boob, and Dawn here has pasty, pasty skin. I'm stuck in a marriage to Droolin' Phil the Invalid, and Dawn eats TV dinners alone. But still, we wouldn't rather be you.

  Dawn : I do have pasty, pasty skin.
