Luanne Quotes in Shag (1989)

Luanne: Come back, they'll see you!

Carson: What does it matter, Luanne? Your folks obviously know Pudge.

Luanne: I'm going to tell my parents that Pudge went crazy and that she ran off and we didn't know what to do, so we called the police, and the police tracked her here to Myrtle Beach.

Carson: Luanne, why don't we just go up there and say "This was our last weekend together, and we didn't feel like going to Fort Sumter and touring goddamn colonial homes. We wanted to go to the beach and meet boys and go to wild parties and dance." I mean why can't we tell them the truth?

Luanne: I can't feel my teeth!

Luanne: Here, you'll wear my momma's hoop skirt.

Malaina: I know how to win this thing.

Luanne: Why Melaina! It is bad manners to think about winnin'!

Malaina: Look Luanne! I'm not goin' to college like some people. And I sure as hell ain't marryin' a damn Ralston. And I ain't gonna die in a parish house in Spartanburg, South Carolina, thank you. Luanne, I'm as pretty as any of those girls in Hollywood. This is my chance! Jimmy Valentine's gonna discover me today, and it ain't gonna be in your mama's hoop skirt!

Luanne: Would you at least consider wearing my one-piece bathin' suit?

Malaina: Don't y'all think she looks just like Mary Pat Montgomery?

[Luanne and Carson laugh]

Pudge: Mary Pat Montgomery's the one who told me about boners.

Luanne: Ga-rosse!

Pudge: It isn't a bone at all, it's a muscle. This cousin of hers dated a Clemson Tiger who sprained his in a game, and she had to massage it every night when it got hard because he was in so much pain.

Luanne: [laughing] And she always acted so innocent.

Carson: I love y'all so much, and uh, y'all are going off to college and everything, and you're gonna forget me. I know I shouldn't be jealous, but I am.

[cries]

Malaina: She's wrecked her face.

Luanne: Carson, I swear, I swear on the Bible I will write you every week from college, and so will Pudge, and so will Malaina.

Malaina: I'm not going to college.

Carson: Y'all really think I'm doing the right thing?

Malaina: [nonchalantly] Yeah, sure.

Luanne: Of course, Harley Ralston is a wonderful man from a well rounded family, and I know you're gonna be very happy.

Malaina: And if you're not, there's always divorce.

Luanne and Pudge: [disgusted] Malaina!

Malaina: Luanne, quick! You run out to Jimmy Valentine's limo and tell him your daddy the senator wants him to sing at the White House and bring him back to the house.

Luanne: I will do no such thing!

Malaina: Luanne damnit! You made me lose Miss Sun Queen, but now I'm not gonna lose Jimmy Valentine too, now you owe it to me! And you better get over there quick, or we're never gonna speak to you again, right Pudge?

Pudge: Right.

Luanne: I wanna lay down some rules.

[Pudge sits on the couch]

Luanne: I don't want anybody sitting on the furniture.

[Pudge gets up]

Luanne: If you have to sit then just sit on the floor. Also, don't anybody use the telephone.

Malaina: Oh come on, Luanne!

Luanne: The house is supposed to be empty, if we run up that phone bill and Daddy sees someone was here, why he'd...

Carson: What about calling Harley?

Luanne, Malaina and Pudge: You're not calling Harley!

Carson: Luanne, that was our turnoff!

Luanne: Oh damn, guess we just have to go to Myrtle Beach!

Pudge: Carson, you look just like Jackie Kennedy.

Malaina: I think JFK's a sweet potato.

Pudge: Oh Malaina he's an old man, eww!

Malaina: I don't care, I'd have an affair with him outside of marriage.

Luanne: He's the president, Malaina. It's sacreligious.

Carson: Okay everybody, How Mature Are You? The night before the prom your steady breaks his leg. Do you A, stay home with him and watch TV all night and let your new prom gown go to waste, or B, drag him to the prom broken leg and all and dance with his best friend?

Malaina: Well what's the best friend look like?

Luanne: Malaina! A, sit home and let your new prom gown go to waste.

Carson: Luanne is mature, okay, question 2, you're at a party and your date offers you an alcoholic drink, do you A, politely refuse and ask for a soft drink?

Malaina: Or B, get knee walking drunk and let him go to third base.

Mrs. Clatterback: Don't stay up too late.

Luanne: Yes ma'am.

Mrs. Clatterback: And don't let any of the other girls drive my car!

Luanne: Yes ma'am!

Mrs. Clatterback: Other than that, have a good time.

Luanne: We can have a good time but we cannot be wild.

Luanne: If I'm not engaged by the time I'm twenty, I'm gonna kill myself.

Luanne: Furthermore, Daddy's bourbon... is strictly off limits.

Luanne: I think somebody's been here!

Luanne: Damn,damn, damn, damn, damn, damn! Every damned thing has to happen when you're in a damned hurry!
