- Natalie Green: [doing 'sensitive interview'] How does it feel to be rejected by the college of your choice?
- [the girl cries]
- Natalie Green: I'm sorry, don't feel bad. I hear the University of Anchorage is a real fun school.
- [the girl runs away bawling]
- Edna Garrett: Natalie!
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: How's everything going, Nat?
- Natalie Green: Not too bad. Most of the envelopes have been fat.
- Alexandra 'Alex' Lambarti: Fat?
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: Oh. See, Alex, if the envelope's fat, it's an acceptance. Loaded with registration forms and dorm cards.
- Natalie Green: A skinny envelope means rejection. It is the one time when thin is not in.
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: [to Alex] But of course, you're a princess. I mean, how could you relate to rejection?
- Alexandra 'Alex' Lambarti: It's easy. Daddy got a thin letter once. It said: "Dear Prince Frederico, we don't want you to rule us anymore. Signed, Italy."
- Natalie Green: A whole country dumped you? That's rejection.
- Edna Garrett: Isn't nature grand? Every spring, like clockwork, Blair sheds her old wardrobe.
- Jo Polniaczek: I thought only snakes did that.
