• Chip : [to Olive]  I like the pants.

  Olive Penderghast : Thank you. They're Costco. You can have them when you get taller.

  Chip : I'm never gonna go through puberty.

  Rosemary : Course you will. But we're a family of late bloomers. I didn't until I was 14. Nor did Olive.

  Chip : Why does that matter? I'm adopted.

  Dill : [pretending to be freaking out]  What? Oh my God! Who told you? Guys, we were going to do this at the right time.

• Brandon : Is there an Olive here?

  Rosemary : There's a whole jar of them in the fridge!

• Rosemary : Olive! There's a young man here to see you

  [starts speaking in a Southern accent] 

  Rosemary : He said something about askin' for your hand in marriage!

  Olive Penderghast : [Also speaking in a Southern accent]  Oh, happy day, Mama! Oh, I thought I was gonna have to spend my dowry on booze and pills to numb the loneliness. A gentleman caller, hurray!

• Rosemary : Not to mention how you have been dressing these past few days. No judgment, but you kind of look like a stripper.

  Olive Penderghast : Mom!

  Dill : [to Olive]  A high-end stripper, for governors or athletes.

• [from trailer] 

  Rosemary : I had a similar situation when I was your age. I had a horrible reputation.

  Olive Penderghast : Why?

  Rosemary : Because I slept with a whole bunch of people. Mostly guys.

  Olive Penderghast : Mom!

• Dill : The family member of the week gets to pick the movie.

  Olive Penderghast : [to Rosemary]  You get family member of the week every week.

  Rosemary : And there's a reason for that.

  Olive Penderghast : Yeah, you pick family member of the week!

  Rosemary : [with phony innocence]  Are you accusing me of nepotism?

• Rosemary : That boy from yesterday just dropped this off for you...

  Olive Penderghast : Well, put it in the pile of gifts from my other suitors.

  Rosemary : He seems like a nice kid. He seemed a little incredibly gay...

  Olive Penderghast : Dyed in the wool homosexual, that boy is.

  Rosemary : I just want you to know your father and I are totally supportive. We love you no matter what the sexual orientation of your opposite-sex sex partner...

  Olive Penderghast : We are not dating, Mom.

  Rosemary : ...and don't worry about not making us grandparents. Although we were kind of hoping you'd get "knocked up" so we'd have a second shot at raising kids, really do it right this time.

  Olive Penderghast : Bye now...

  Rosemary : You know, I dated a homosexual once. For a long time, actually... a "long" time...

  Olive Penderghast : Dear God, dear Lord, tell me you didn't marry and have children with him!

  Rosemary : [Giggles]  No.

  Olive Penderghast : [Sarcastically imitates laughing]  Ha...

  Rosemary : No, no. Your father is as straight as they come. A little too straight, if you know what I mean, girlfriend.

  Olive Penderghast : I don't...

• Rosemary : Any friend of Olive's is a friend of my daughter.

• Olive Penderghast : Can you not see that I'm a mess?

  Rosemary : No, you're not, Olive. You're wonderful. And you'll handle this the same way I did. With an incontrovertible sense of humor. But you're much smarter than I am... so you'll come out of this much better than I did.

  Olive Penderghast : Thank you, Mom.

• Rosemary : What's going on, honey? Why do you want us to "take a bullet" if anyone asks if you were here all weekend?

  Olive Penderghast : Oh, it's nothing. Just the rumor mill.

  Rosemary : What's the rumor mill churning out these days? Anything interesting?

  Olive Penderghast : You know, not really. Not really. Its a little low on grist.

  Dill : Oh, clever wordplay. I like it very much. You must be related to me.

  Olive Penderghast : Only by marriage.

• Dill : [pretend punishment]  Yeah, no dating.

  Rosemary : No dating.

  Dill : No dating for you, young lady.

  Olive Penderghast : Ooh, I think my complete lack of allure already kinda shot that horse in the face.
