How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways. (Taglines)

Katarina "Kat" Stratford

  • I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.
    I hate the way you drive my car, I hate it when you stare.
    I hate your big, dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind.
    I hate you so much it makes me sick — It even makes me rhyme.
    I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie.
    I hate it when you make me laugh — Even worse when you make me cry.
    I hate it when you're not around. And the fact that you didn't call.
    But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you — Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all
  • Remove head from sphincter, then drive!

Dr. Walter Stratford

  • Listen, I'm down, I've got the 411, and you are not going out and getting jiggy with some boy, I don't care how dope his ride is!... Momma di'nt raise no fool.
  • You're 18, you don't know what you want. And you won't know what you want 'til you're 45, and even if you get it, you'll be too old to use it!
  • Kissing isn't what keeps me up to my elbow in placenta all day long!
  • My insurance doesn't cover PMS!

Patrick Verona

  • It's not everyday you find a girl who will flash someone to get you out of detention.
  • What is it with this chick? She got beer flavored nipples?

Bianca Stratford

  • You're asking me out? That's so cute! What's your name again?
  • I happen to like being adored, thank you!
  • You don't buy black lingerie unless you want someone to see it.

Dialogue

Bianca: Daddy, it's just a party.
Dr. Stratford: And Hell is just a sauna.

Patrick: So what's your excuse?
Kat: For?
Patrick: Acting the way you do.
Kat: I don't like to do what people expect. Why should I live up to other people's expectations instead of my own?
Patrick: So you disappoint them from the start and then you're covered, right?
Kat: Something like that…
Patrick: Then you screwed up.
Kat: How?
Patrick: You never disappointed me.

Bianca: What planet did you come from? Planet Loser?
Kat: As opposed to Planet Look-at-Me, Look-at-Me?
Dr. Stratford: [claps] Ok, here's how we solve this one : Old rule out. New rule : Bianca can date [Bianca smiles, Kat with a shocked face] when she does.[he points at Kat]
Bianca: But she's a mutant, what if she never dates?
Dr. Stratford: Then you'll never date. Oh I like that. And I'll get to sleep at night, the deep slumber of a father whose daughters aren't out being impregnated.

Dr. Stratford: This morning I delivered a set of twins to a fifteen-year-old girl, and you know what she said to me?
Bianca: "I'm a crack-whore who should have made my skeezy boyfriend wear a condom"?
Dr. Stratford: Close...but no. She said, "I should have listened to my father."
Bianca: She did not!
Dr. Stratford: Well, that's what she would have said if she wasn't so doped up.

Dr. Stratford: Hello Katarina. Make anybody cry today?
Kat: Sadly no, but it's only 4:30.
Dr. Stratford: That's my girl.

Dr. Stratford: Where's your sister going?
Kat: She's meeting some bikers. Big ones. Full of Sperm.
Dr. Stratford: Funny. [a little curious] So, tell me about this dance, what is hoppin'?
Kat: Ugh. Parts of it.
Dr. Straford: Which parts?
Kat: [laughingly] The part where Bianca beat the hell out of some guy.
Dr. Straford: Bianca did what?
Kat: What's the matter, upset that I rubbed off on her?
Dr. Straford: [proud] No, impressed.

Cameron: She never wanted me. She wanted Joey the whole time.
Patrick: Cameron, do you like the girl?
Cameron: Yeah.
Patrick: Yeah, and is she worth all this trouble?
Cameron: Well, I thought she was, but you know, I...
Patrick: Well, she is or she isn't. See first of all, Joey is not half the man you are. Secondly, don't let anyone ever make you feel like you don't deserve what you want. Go for it.
