- Cindy Webster: [all the girls are discussing dieting] How about you, Nat? Are you gonna try to be pencil thin?
- Natalie Green: Who wants to be a skinny pencil? I'd rather be a happy Magic Marker!
- Edna Garrett: [eating a green pepper and lettuce for lunch] Once you get used to the taste of a green pepper, it can explode with flavour.
- Molly Parker: Did it explode yet?
- Edna Garrett: Not a crackle. Not a pop.
- [sniffs:]
- Edna Garrett: What's that wonderful smell?
- Molly Parker: Cinnamon buns. The cook baked them today.
- Edna Garrett: What a rotten thing to do!
- Sue Ann Weaver: [standing on a scale] Okay, Blair. I guess I could lose a few pounds.
- Blair Warner: A few? Kansas City beef isn't that valuable.
- [gets on the scale]
- Sue Ann Weaver: Well, what about those choice New York cuts on you, Blair?
- Nancy Olson: [tight jeans] Hey, when Roger sees me in these, he'll go crazy.
- Edna Garrett: It won't do him any good. You're pretty safe in there.
- Sue Ann Weaver: Blair, listen. Scott Dunbar just called. Oh, he sounds so classy. I just hope he's not disappointed in me.
- Blair Warner: I'm sure he won't be. Just remember to park your tractor outside.
- Sue Ann Weaver: Blair, if you don't think I'm good enough for him...
- Blair Warner: Hey, I'm just kidding. Park your tractor anywhere you want.
- Sue Ann Weaver: I guess I have been acting kind of crazy, huh?
- Edna Garrett: Oh, crazy isn't the word I'd use, more like
- [crosses eyes]
- Edna Garrett: bananas! Oh, and speaking of bananas,
- [takes one out of purse]
- Edna Garrett: have one, only 75 calories and full of vitamins A, B and C.
- Edna Garrett: Look at yourself, Sue. You're a beautiful teenage girl, you're ruining your health, worrying your friends, all for a boy who's never even seen you.
- Sue Ann Weaver: [ashamed] I guess so.
- Edna Garrett: I was just as bad as you though. I went crazy about a dress size label. I love this dress, and I feel beautiful as a size 14, and when I'm ready, I'll be a beautiful size 12 again.
- Steven Bradley: Why are you women always dieting? There's nothing wrong with having a little meat on your bones, it's what's on the inside that men find attractive.
- Natalie Green: That's bull, Mr. Bradley. If that were true, why aren't there ever any fat women in the pantyhose or jean commercials?
- Natalie Green: [stands next to Blair] Look what we have here, Miss New York, and Miss the Rest of the Country.
- Steven Bradley: [looks at Mrs. Garrett's lunch] What do you call that?
- Edna Garrett: [defiantly] I call it minding my own business.
- [he stares at her]
- Edna Garrett: Otherwise known as green pepper on a bed of lettuce.
- Steven Bradley: Nobody ever told you this, but you're too big to be a bunny.
- Sue Ann Weaver: Mrs. Garrett, I look good enough for Kansas City, but Scott Dunbar is used to regal New York women with thin butts like in Vogue magazine.
- Edna Garrett: Honey, those women aren't real, they only come out at night to have their pictures taken.
