Austin: Shelby, we really need to talk... privately.

Shelby: Anything you say to me, you can say in front of my peeps.

Austin: Okay. I want to break up.

Shelby: [after seeing Sam walk down the stairs at the hallowen ball] love the dress,hate her

[''The stepsisters are pretending to cry and make Shelby and her friends think that Cinderella hurt them'']

Gabriella: And then, she told us that...

[sniffs]

Gabriella: ... she was going to try and steal Austin away from you if that was the last thing she did.

Brianna: Our stepsister has always been jealous of you!

[blows her nose loudly]

Shelby: [impatiently] Go on.

Gabriella: Well, that's when she came up with this whole "Cinderella plot". She got a hold of Austin's e-mail address, and that's when she started the whole affair

Brianna: We wanted to tell you sooner, but she threatened to kill us. She's such a monster!

Shelby: [to Austin about Sam] People like her don't belong in our world, Austin.

Madison: Eww! Stalkerazzi at 3 o'clock.

[through megaphone]

Shelby: The White zone is for cool people only. No geeks!

David: Hey, uh, Diner Girl; can I get a breakfast burrito to go? Thank you.

Shelby: Pink is my signature color.

Truvy: What are your colors, Shelby?

Shelby: My colors are "blush" and "bashful."

M'Lynn: Her colors are "pink" and pink."

Shelby: My colors are "blush" and "bashful" Mama!

M'Lynn: How precious is this weddin' gonna get, I ask you?

Shelby: Was she prayin?

Truvy: Yes.

Shelby: Why.

Truvy: Got me, maybe she was praying for Marshall and Drew and Bell. My she was praying for us cause we was gossipin. Maybe she was praying because the elastic is shot in her pantyhose. Who knows she prays at the drop of a hat these days.

Shelby: I am going to be very, very careful, nobody is going to be hurt or disappointed or even inconvenienced.

M'Lynn: Least of all Jackson, I'm sure.

Shelby: You're jealous, because you no longer have a say so in what I do and that drives you up the wall. You're ready to spit nails because you can't call the shots.

M'Lynn: I did not raise my daughter to talk to me like this.

Shelby: Yes, you did.

M'Lynn: Oh no, I didn't.

Shelby: Whenever any of us asked you what you wanted for us when we grew up what did you say?

M'Lynn: Shelby, I'm not in the mood to play games.

Shelby: Just tell me what you said, Mama, what did you say?

M'Lynn: The only thing I have ever said to you, ever, is that I want you to be happy.

Shelby: Okay, the one thing that would make me happy is to have a baby. If I could adopt one I would, but I can't. I'm going to have a baby, and I wish you'd be happy too.

M'Lynn: I'll tell you what I wish. Well, I don't know what I wish.

Shelby: Mama, I don't know why you have to make everything so difficult. I look at having a baby as the opportunity of a lifetime. Sure there may be risk involved, but that's true for anybody. But you get through it and life goes on. And when it's all said and done there will be a little piece of immortality with Jackson's good looks and my sense of style, I hope. Please, please I need your support. I would rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.

M'Lynn: We have this new psychiatrist that comes in two days a week and of course I pick her name out of the grab bag, I have to pick something up for her tomorrow. Would you put that on the list, I have no idea what to get your father. What's Jackson giving you, do you know?

Shelby: Furniture.

M'Lynn: Furniture, well, my. Must be nice to be married to a rich lawyer. What's it for, the living room?

Shelby: No, for the nursery.

[seeing M'Lynn's stricken look]

Shelby: We wanted to tell you when you and daddy were together, but you're never together so it's every man for himself. I'm pregnant.

M'Lynn: I realize that.

Shelby: Well is that it? Is that all you're gonna say?

M'Lynn: What do you want me to say?

Shelby: Well, something along the lines of congratulations.

M'Lynn: Congratulations.

Shelby: Would it be too much to ask for a little excitement, not too much I wouldn't want you to break a sweat or anything. It's in July. Oh Mama, you have to help me plan. We're gonna get a new house. Jackson and I are going house hunting next week. Jackson loves to hunt for anything.

M'Lynn: What does Jackson say about all of this?

Shelby: He's so excited. He says he doesn't care whether it's a boy or a girl, but I know he really wants a son so bad he can taste it. He's really cute about the whole thing. It's all he can talk about: Jackson Latree, Jr.

M'Lynn: Does he ever? Listen, I mean when doctors and specialists give you advice. Does he listen? I know you never do, does he? Huh? What? Well, I guess since he doesn't have to carry the baby it really isn't any of his concern.

Shelby: Mama, I want a child.

M'Lynn: What about adoption? You've filled out all the applications.

Shelby: Mama, no judge is gonna give a baby to someone with my medical records. Jackson even put out feelers about buying one.

M'Lynn: People do it all the time.

Shelby: Listen to me. I want a child of my own. I think it would help things a lot.

M'Lynn: I see.

Shelby: Mama, you worry too much. In fact I never worry 'cause I always know you're worried enough for the both of us. Jackson and I have given this a lot of thought.

M'Lynn: Has he really? Well, there's a first time for everything.

Shelby: Don't start on Jackson.

M'Lynn: Your poor body has been through so much. Why would you deliberately do this to yourself?

Shelby: Diabetics have healthy babies all the time.

M'Lynn: You are special Shelby. There are limits to what you can do.

Shelby: Truvy, you know what you need in here? You need a radio, takes the pressure off of everyone feeling they have to talk so much.

Truvy: I had one once, but I threw it up against the wall when I couldn't figure out where the batteries went. I know now I was suffering from pre-menstrual syndrome.

M'Lynn: Shelby, the boys bought the car around.

Shelby: What did they do to it?

M'Lynn: Well, let me put it this way... If you and Jackson want to practice safe sex, you're all set!

Shelby: [to Annelle] Relax! You can't screw up her hair. Just tease it and make it look like a brown football helmet.

Shelby: Well, we went skinny dipping and we did things that frightened the fish.

Shelby: Remember what Daddy always says - an ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure!

M'Lynn: [Shebly's father and brothers have adorned it with condoms] My lord, the limousine's here

Shelby: What did they do to it?

Shelby: Well, let me put it this way: if you and Jackson plan of having safe sex, you're all set.

Nancy Beth Marmillion: That Jackson is one big hangin' man!

Shelby: [annoyed] Yes, I know.

Shelby: [describing her reception] Wedding cake in the dining room, and groom's cake...

[slyly, to M'Lynn]

Shelby: hidden in the carport?

M'Lynn: Shelby and I, we agree on one thing:

Shelby, M'Lynn: The groom's cake!

Shelby: It's awful!

M'Lynn: They brought the car around.

Shelby: What did they do to it?

M'Lynn: [the car is decorated with condoms] . Let me put this way. If you and Jackson want to practice safe sex, you're all set.

Shelby: You know what you need in here, Truvy. You need a radio. Music is a wonderful thing to have in the background and it takes the pressure off of people who feel they

[looks at M'lynn]

Shelby: *have to talk so much.*

Truvy: I used to have one, but I slammed it against the wall when I couldn't figure where the batteries went. I know know I was suffering from pre menstruatal syndrome.

Shelby: [Speaking to Bill, over the car radio] Your momma called. She said the toilet's all backed up again, wants you to come over as soon as you're finished there... She said it's what you done in there on Sunday caused the backup.

[Starla looks at Bill empathetically, who hastily glances at her out of the corner of his eye, embarrassed]

Bill Pardy: Shelby, you gonna create a hysteria?

Shelby: [doesn't look up] Not today, Bill.

Shelby: Josh cut off his penis because something came out of my vagina.

Julian Murch: Shelby, it's over. I am not the man for you and you are not the woman for me so let's just stop fooling ourselves. I hope you find what you're looking for, because that's exactly what I plan to do. I have to go. Bye, Shelby.

[he goes inside the church]

Quentin: [Q points at the ground] Don't you think you oughta pick that up?

Shelby: [she looks down] What?

Quentin: Your bottom jaw!

[laughs hystrically]

Harper Stewart: [Harper and Robin come up the stairs] Q! Oh, morning, Shelby.

Shelby: Oh, go to hell!

[she storms in the church]

Harper Stewart: I'll probably see you there.

Shelby: Ah, Harper Stewart. Richard Wrong. Langston Snooze.

Harper Stewart: Hi, Shelby.

Shelby: I heard about your book, and I don't think it's cute Harper. You know, the next time you want to characterize me in one of your little projects, do me a favor.

Harper Stewart: What would that be, Shelby?

Shelby: Don't.

Shelby: Say it, Michael.

Michael: Say it?

Shelby: I won't do it unless you say it.

Michael: I'm sorry. I'm having a little bit of trouble concentrating here. What is it exactly you want me to say?

Shelby: You know. Those three... little... words...

Michael: Those three little words... Hold on a minute.

Shelby: What? What's wrong?

Michael: I'm sorry. I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

Shelby: Why are you acting like this?

Michael: Shelby, I like you. I like you a lot. But things are just moving a little too fast. I'm just not ready to say, "I love you".

Shelby: What makes you think I want you to say, "I love you"?

Michael: Oh, come on. Back there. You wouldn't do it because I wouldn't say those three little words.

Shelby: You colossal moron! "Suck... my... cock".

Michael: Oh, suck my cock! Suck my cock! Suck my cock! Suck my cock!

Shelby: If you had to say something different other than "beat that bitch," what would it be?

DJay: I don't know. Shit. Stuff like, um... stomp that ho?

Jessica Kimble: Joey, please, just let me get the baby and we'll go.

Joey B: Shut the fuck up! You're with a fucking felon!

Shelby: Hey, Baby, watch the language.

Joey B: Fuck you!

[Jessica tries to grab the gun, causing it to misfire and hit the lights]

Joey B: Now look what you fucking done!

Jessica Kimble: [shouts] Give me the baby, Joey!

Joey B: [shouts] Fuck you!

Shelby: My parents are sick okay? They need me, I'm all they have.

Dave: You're fucking lying. Your parents hate you, they cut you off.

Gena: I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant!

Josh: No she's not! She's lying to you. She's fucking lying

Gena: I'm not.

[Carousel stops on Gena]

Gena: I'm pregnant. Push the thing. Push the thing! Mr. Easton push it. Push it!

[last lines]

Shelby: [as David suddenly appears in doorway] David! You're alive.

David: Yeah. Barely.

Paul Donner: [as they are about to leave] No, wait. Hold up. Dave, my research folder. Where is it?

David: It's... at the camp-site.

Paul Donner: I need to go back and get it. Shelby, take my keys to the car. I'll meet you guys there. Okay.

[Paul returns to the camp-site where he finds Dorchester's Jack-in-the-box. He cannot resist turning the crank one last time before he leaves the camp... ]
