Tibby Quotes in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)

Bailey: You know what I like most about the stars? You look at them, at all of them up there... and you just know there's gotta be something more than...

Tibby: Life?

Bailey: There has to be.

Tibby: Are you scared?

Bailey: Not of dying, really. It's more that I'm afraid of time. And not having enough of it. Time to figure out who I'm supposed to be... to find my place in the world before I have to leave it. I'm afraid of what I'll miss.

Carmen: [voiceover] It would be easy to say that the pants changed everything that summer. But looking back now I feel like our lives changed because they had to, and that the real magic of the pants was in bearing witness to all of this and in somehow holding us together when it felt like nothing would ever be the same again.

[pause]

Carmen: Some things never would be

Lena: But we know now that no matter how far we traveled on our own separate paths...

Bridget: Somehow we would always find out way back to each other.

Tibby: And with that, we could get through anything.

Bridget: To us. Who we were, and who we are. And who we'll be.

Tibby: To the pants.

Lena: And the sisterhood.

Carmen: And this moment, and the rest of our lives.

Carmen, Lena, Bridget, Tibby: Together and apart.

Bailey: I want you to do something for me.

Tibby: What?

Bailey: Finish your movie.

Tibby: Why?

Bailey: Because you can.

Carmen: We have gathered here today to celebrate a magical gift that has been given to us...

Tibby: then why'd we have to pay for it?

Tibby: How old are you, anyway? 10?

Bailey: I'm 12!

Tibby: Same difference.

Bailey: No, when I was 10 I didn't have an iPod.

Tibby: Mhm, you're so cool. And what do you listen to on there, teletubbies hit parade?

Tibby: I brought something for you... ta da.

Bailey: The Traveling Pants.

Tibby: Yeah, I just got them back, from Lena.

Bailey: The one in Greece.

Tibby: Yeah, she said that we were right all along and that the pants are magic and I don't know the details but I do know Lena and for her to say that means... that it must be true... so I was thinking that maybe you could have them for a while.

Bailey: They don't fit me, remember?

Tibby: [in tears] Yeah, I know, but that doesn't matter... none of it really matters... you have to take them, Bailey... okay, you have to let them help you... please. I know that you're tired, okay, but you can't give up, the Pants will give you a miracle, you have to believe.

Bailey: The Pants have already worked their magic on me. They brought me to you.

Tibby: [to Bailey] Look, you seem like a sweet kid... actually you seem like a real pain in the ass...

Lena: Rule #7: Any removal of the pants must be done by the wearer herself.

[looks at Bridget]

Lena: [Bridget pretends to be offenced]

Lena: [laughs] Yes, you!

Bridget, Tibby: [laughing] Touche!

Tibby: Well, maybe sometimes it's easier to be mad at the people you trust.

Carmen: Why? Why is that?

Tibby: Because you know they'll always love you, no matter what.

Carmen: Is it fair to bribe the driver to turn around and go back home?

Bridget: Oh yeah, with what money? Cause Tibby is the only one of us working this summer.

Tibby: Hey, hey, hey. I actually stacked my last shelf at Wallmans, thank you very much.

Lena: Congratulations!

Bridget: Does this mean there's gonna be a ceremonial burning of the smock?

Tibby: No, actually, Duncan took the smock, but I do have my nametag.

Bridget: Can we burn it?

[they all laugh]

Lena: Hey, how did your suckumentary turn out?

Tibby: Uh... uh... well, it actually evolved into something quite different than I expected, so...

Bridget: What are you gonna call it?

Tibby: [thinking for a minute] Hmmmm... Bailey.

[Tibby smiles and looks to Carmen, who smiles back approvingly]

Tibby: Well what, what is she doing here? Tell me.

Bailey: She's thinking.

Tibby: She's thinking? I think she's trying to grow a brain, that's what.

Tibby: Oh man, you were right, and I was wrong, but I'm... I'm wrong about most people, so...

Bailey: The important thing is... you always change your mind about them.

Bailey: You know, I read that when Bill Gates was younger, he ran a lemonade stand.

Tibby: No, you don't know that.

Bailey: Yeah I do, I read it in a magazine.

Tibby: No, where did you read that?

Bailey: ...In a magazine.

Tibby: I thought you were excited about going to el campo de futbol.

Carmen: She sure was until she found out it was all girls!

Tibby: This is abandon! Nothing less, nothing more! I hate you all.

Carmen: UGGHHHH, Can you get a pizza hangover?

Tibby: It was the olives.

Carmen: Tibby no, it was the bacon.

Tibby: It was the olives.

Roberta: [pertaining to the price tag gun] You are really good with that thing! Took me weeks to get the hang of it.

Tibby: Yeah, well, we all have our special talents.

[shoots sticker onto forehead]

Tibby: [her voice mail answering message] Hey, it's Tibby. Here comes the beep. Hopefully, you know what to do with it.

Tibby: Hey, do you know who would have loved this P, Bee? Your mom.

Bridget: Yeah. I remember this one time she decided that she'd make one herself. She always woke up starving after one of her episodes. I was just sitting in the kitchen doing my homework and she just walked in and just started making this thing. You know, I don't even know if you could call it a pizza. It was more like the entire contents of our refrigerator on a round crust.

[They all laugh]

Bridget: Craziest part is we actually ate it.

Carmen: Of course you did.

[Tibby laughs]

Bridget: We ate every single bit of that pizza in like 10 minutes.

Tibby: Yeah.

Bridget: And we were laughing the whole time. It was great. I remember thinking that maybe there won't be any more bad spells. Maybe she'll just be happy like this forever.

Carmen: It's okay to miss her, Bee. I mean, as hard as it is to be sad about it don't you think maybe it's harder not to be?

Bridget: [Crying] You don't understand.

Tibby: [long pause] Bridge...

Bridget: I can't. It hurts too much.

Carmen: I know.

Bridget: No, you don't know. I just want to feel good and happy and alive. Because if I feel alive then it doesn't seem like she's dead. And if I'm not sad then it proves that I'm not like her.

Carmen: Bee, you don't have to prove that to anybody. I mean, you have a strength in you that your mom never had. As much as she wanted to, she couldn't find it.

Tibby: Yeah, and you have something else too.

Bridget: What?

Tibby: You have us. And we're not gonna let you go anywhere, okay?

Bridget: Thank you.

Carmen: Come here.

[Carmen hugs Bridget and Tibby holds her hand]

Tibby: The magic is unsanitary!

Bailey: So, uh, who told you?

Tibby: Uh, told me what?

Bailey: You found out, didn't you?

Tibby: We still have time for one more interview...

Bailey: It's called leukemia... and yeah, I would like to come with you, but are you just asking because you feel sorry for me?

Tibby: I don't know... maybe.

Bailey: Okay.

Tibby: Okay.

Carmen: Rule number 8, no double-cuffing the pants.

Tibby: Oh, good rule! That's so tacky... and you know what else is tacky? Tucking your shirt in when you're wearing a belt...

Lena: Ok, I do NOT do that any more, I did that ONE time.

Tibby: I'm just saying parents screw up. It's what they're good at. They do.

Tibby: The problem is every time I try to get close to somebody it's like there's something out there that just says oh Tibby's about to be happy, better get her.

Tibby: I just fell off a *donkey*!

Tibby: Are you sure it was a real one?

Brian McBrian: Yes, I'm sure! My uncle gave it to me for graduation, I was saving it.

Tibby: For two years?

Tibby: [having just fallen off a donkey] Awww, that's gonna leave a mark...

Julia: Oh, so this is the video store girl?

Tibby: Video store girl?

Tibby: I'm sorry! I didn't get the memo that you were in Ala-frickin'-bama!

[from trailer]

Tibby: So Kostos isn't married. Why can't you just stop thinking about it and follow your heart?

Lena: Because... he broke my heart!

Tibby: There is a tourist with the pants and he's at the restaurant. So if we go to the restaurant, we'll find this particular tourist with the jeans who might be there. Will probably be there. He'll be there.
