Quotes 

  • Narrator : First, you need to know something about them. The beautiful ones. The flawless four. Everyone wanted to be them. You know them. They went to your school too. They totally ruled. The one in green, that's Courtney. She was the leader. She was like Satan in heels. The blonde, Marcie Fox, a legend in her own little mind. Known to herself as Foxy. The leggy one with the pigtails is Julie, doomed to be popular because of that face and because she was best friends with the one in the pink. That's Liz Purr. She was special. Everybody loved Liz. Not just because she was beautiful and popular and rich and smart. She was all of those things, but more than anything, she was sweet. Courtney ruled with terror, but Liz ruled with kindness. She was like the Princess Di of Reagan High and that pissed Courtney off. Liz Purr was just... well, she was perfect. I used to dream about what it would be like to be her: Elizabeth Purr. It's a shame about what happened to Liz. That was no way to wake up on your 17th birthday.

  • Courtney : [to Fern\Vylette]  I made you and I can break you just as easily.

    Vylette : Good idea. Kill me like you did Liz.

  • Julie : I'm scared, Fern. I'm really scared. It's just weird how time erases things.

    Fern : Time doesn't erase things. People erase things.

    Julie : Yeah. People erase people.

  • Fern : She's so evil and she's only in high school!

  • Courtney : I taught you to disrespect us?

    Fern : You taught me to rule.

    Courtney : That's right! Rule, bitch! But don't forget who made you!

  • [Julie approaches Fern, now turned into Vylette, who in turn is with Courtney and Marcie] 

    Marcie : Do you smell something?

    Julie : Hi, Fern.

    Courtney : I don't know a Fern?

    Marcie : There is no Fern.

    Vylette : It's Vylette.

    Julie : What?

    Vylette : My name's Vylette.

    Courtney : Learn it.

    Marcie : Live it.

    Marcie , Courtney : Love it.

  • Vylette : This is high school, Detective Cruz. What is a friend anyway?

    Detective Vera Cruz : A friend is someone who tells the truth no matter what. A true friend never lies.

  • Courtney : You knew Liz Purr right?

    Fern : I... I know of her.

    Courtney : Knew of her. Past tense. She's dead, Fern. She died, but we've got a bit of a problem because you know we did it. You heard us. That gives you a little something, Fern, and it's called power. The power to tell, and you're the kind of girl that tells. A tattle-tale.

    Marcie : A rat.

  • Miss Sherwood : [to Fern]  Do you know a senior named Elizabeth Purr?

    Fern : You mean the meow?

    Miss Sherwood : Excuse me?

    Fern : Liz is the cat's meow.

    Miss Sherwood : I'm sure she is.

  • [Vylette, in her pink dress, gets out of her red Corvette] 

    Vylette : Hi, girls!

    [Vylette walks past them] 

    Courtney : What's wrong with this picture?

  • Julie : Fern? Oh my God. Fern, are you okay? Fern, it's me, Julie.

    Fern : I'm not Fern. Oh my God.

    Julie : It's okay, Fern.

    Fern : Go away. Please just go away.

    Julie : It's okay.

    Fern : How can you look at me? I'm shit. I'm reprehensible.

    Julie : No, you're not.

    Fern : I'm nothing. Before all this, I was something. Not much, but something.

    Julie : You're a good person, Fern.

    Fern : A lot of good that did me. I'm nothing. I'm shit. I'm a nobody.

    Julie : I don't blame you for what you did, Fern. I know what it's like to be scared. That day at Liz's house, we were terrified. It's not like you had a choice.

    Fern : I'm so sorry, Julie. I'm sorry.

    Julie : It's okay. I know.

  • Courtney : Fern, I need you to be completely honest with us. And I know you will be, because you're an honest kind of gal. Tell us, did you hear anything? And let's not lie. I have this gift. I can smell a lie.

    Julie : Leave her alone, Courtney.

    Courtney : Fern is a big girl, Julie. She can speak for herself.

    Julie : Fern, come on. I'm gonna take you home.

    [walks up to Fern then Courtney stops her] 

    Fern : [softly]  Homework.

    Courtney : What?

    Fern : I was sent with Liz's homework.

    Marcie : Isn't that nice? Heh, heh.

    Courtney : And you heard us? It's okay, Fern. No one's gonna hurt you.

    Fern : [terrified]  I don't know.

    Julie : She don't know.

    Courtney : We're all girlfriends here. It's just between us. What do you know?

    Julie : She doesn't know anything.

    Courtney : Come on, Fern. Say what you heard. Come on, Fern. Say it! What did you hear?

    [Fern gets more terrified, then sees Liz's corpse body on her bed, she screams in terror and runs downstairs] 

    Courtney : Marcie, get her!
