Quotes33

  • Michael: Why me?
  • Mia: Because you saw me when I was invisible.
  • Mia: I can't do this, I'm a girl.
  • Gym Teacher Harbula: What am I? A duck?
  • Mia: I can't be a princess! I'm still waiting for normal body parts to arrive!
  • Mia: Hey Joe? Can we park a block away from school? I really don't want to cause a riot with this hearse.
  • Joe: This is a non-riot hearse. And if it were a hearse there would be silence in the backseat.
  • Queen Clarisse Renaldi: Amelia, you look so... young.
  • Mia: Thank you. And you look so...
  • [long pause]
  • Mia: ... clean.
  • Queen Clarisse Renaldi: You are princess of Genovia.
  • Mia: Me, a princess?
  • [shouts]
  • Mia: Shut up!
  • Queen Clarisse Renaldi: I beg your pardon, "Shut up"?
  • Consulate Maitre'D: Oh, your majesty, in America, it doesn't always mean to be quiet. Here it could mean "Wow, gee whiz, golly wolly"...
  • Joe: This is between a waltz and a tango.
  • Mia: It's a wango?
  • Paolo: [removes Mia's glasses] Do you wear contact lenses?
  • Mia: Oh, I have them, but I don't really like to wear them that much.
  • Paolo: [he breaks her glasses in half] Now... you do!
  • Mia: [shocked] You broke my glasses!
  • Paolo: You broke my brush.
  • Mia: Joseph, can we eighty-six the flags please?
  • Joe: No. The flags allow me to park anywhere. We keep the flags.
  • Mia: Sorry, Joseph.
  • Joe: You can call me, "Joe".
  • Mia: "Joey"?
  • [Giggles]
  • Joe: [Chuckles then abruptly turns serious] No. Joe.
  • Mia: [voiceover] Dear Diary, today is my first official day as Princess of Genovia. We'll land in a few hours, and I'll meet Parliament and the people before beginning my royal duties. Mom is, of course, moving to Genovia with me, and we'll continue painting - without the balloons. Lilly and Michael are planning to spend their summer vacation at our - can you believe it - palace. They're even having my Mustang brought over, which I can legally drive in two weeks. Grandma's so glad to be going home, and Joseph - well, he's watching nearby as usual. Everybody's got pre-coronation jitters, including me. Everybody that is, except Fat Louie. He's totally adapted to being a royal. I guess he was one all along.
  • Joe: [voiceover] Princess, look out the window... and welcome to Genovia.
  • Mia: Okay... you know what? I don't feel protected. You try living for 15 years thinking that you're one person, and then in five minutes, you find out you're a princess. Just in case I wasn't enough of a freak already, let's add a tiara!
  • Mia: [driving in the rain] Is this punishment for driving without a licensed driver in the front seat?
  • [lies down on the front seat]
  • Mia: I am invisible, and I am wet.
  • Helen Thermopolis: This is getting us nowhere! Talk to me!
  • Mia: I can't talk to you right now; I'm late for a meeting with my guidance counselor.
  • Queen Clarisse Renaldi: I'm late for a meeting with Spain and *Portugal*!
  • Mia: Hey, Joe?
  • Joe: Mm-Hmmm?
  • Mia: I'm gonna turn the backseat into a dressing room so I can change into a proper outfit for Madame, OK?
  • Joe: OK. And don't forget your shoes.
  • Mia: Ahh, thanks.
  • Joe: Strange town, San Francisco. When I purchased the pumps, they asked if I wanted them wrapped or if I was going to wear them.
  • Helen Thermopolis: Mia, the-the three of us have to talk.
  • Mia: Oh, OK. Um, is there maybe something else about me and my life that just maybe I might want to know about? Um-oh no, are you two waiting to take me on a talk show somewhere and to let me know I have a twin sister who's a duchess?
  • Queen Clarisse Renaldi: You have a cousin who's a contessa. Fondly known as Bartholomew. Actually, we call him Pookie.
  • Mia: [Responding to Lilly's insults] Lilly! Just stop it, okay? Just because your hair sucks, get off mine!
  • Mia: [on her green bathing suit] Okay I look like an asparagus.
  • Helen Thermopolis: But a very, very cute asparagus!
  • Mia: You know, most kids hope for a car for their 16th birthday, not a country!
  • Mia: And then I realized how many stupid times a day I used the word "I". In fact, probably all I ever do is think about myself. And how lame is that when there's, like, 7 billion other people out there on the planet and when -
  • [Clarisse clears her throat]
  • Mia: Sorry, I'm going too fast.
  • Mia: You'll never guess what Josh Bryant just asked me!
  • Michael: "Can I borrow a comb"?
