- Meg: . What's the new girl's name?
- Connie Harris, aka Connie Ross: Joyce Martin.
- Meg: Have you asked her yet?
- Connie Harris, aka Connie Ross: I'm not gonna ask her. I'm gonna tell her.
- Meg: We haven't had a good initiation this whole term. What are you gonna make her do?
- Connie Harris, aka Connie Ross: I think I'll start out with the slacks test.
- Dolly Crane: That's too easy!
- Connie Harris, aka Connie Ross: Dolly, you bug me.
- Connie Harris, aka Connie Ross: We're all wearing slacks tomorrow.
- Joyce Martin: But isn't that against the rules?
- Connie Harris, aka Connie Ross: I make the rules here.
- Linda Martin: Seems to me you're always picking on her lately.
- Roger Martin: She needs more - more discipline. The way she's always dressed. Those tight sweaters and too much lipstick.
- Linda Martin: Darling, she's growing up.
- Trudy Davis: Let's begin at the beginning. Biologically speaking, its a primary importance that man should want to mate.
- Trudy Davis: Now, health and physical education cover a great many subjects. So, what would you girls like to discuss?
- Meg: Boys!
- Roger Martin: Don't tell me you're wearing slacks?
- Joyce Martin: All the girls are wearing them.
- Roger Martin: You never wore them at the other school.
- Joyce Martin: I know. I guess they don't mind here.
- Joyce Martin: I live at home with my parents and we just bought a house not far from here. My father's a lawyer. I'm an only child. I go to school because it's required and I don't know what I want to be. Someday I'll get married. There. You know all about me.
- Trudy Davis: We've already come in contact with the age old saying that man is polygamous by nature and woman is monogamous. And we know how far from the truth *that* is.
- Dolly Crane: Come on, Miss Davis. Use words we know.
- Roger Martin: How many times have I told you not to walk around the house like that?
- Joyce Martin: But, Dad, it's only a slip.
- Roger Martin: You heard what I said! Now, go upstairs and put something on!
- Joyce Martin: But, Dad!
- [Dad slaps Joyce]
- Joyce Martin: I'm sorry I've been such a creep.
- Linda Martin: Ah, that's alright.
- Joyce Martin: So, you admit I've been one, huh.
- Linda Martin: Sure.
- Roger Martin: Where's your mother?
- Joyce Martin: The note didn't say.
- Roger Martin: Probably her bridge club again.
- Connie Harris, aka Connie Ross: I want you all to meet Joyce. She passed the first test and *if* she passes the other two, she'll be a member of the Hellcats. That's the name of our gang. If you don't belong, you'll find life at school pretty rough. You won't be invited to any parties and you will have *very* few friends. And you'll never have any dates with boys. We'll see to that.
- Joyce Martin: You scared me. It's dark in here.
- Dolly Crane: There is something exciting about a deserted movie house, isn't there?
- Joyce Martin: I don't know. I've never been in one before.
- Dolly Crane: It's spooky.
- Connie Harris, aka Connie Ross: Did you ever steal?
- Joyce Martin: No!
- Connie Harris, aka Connie Ross: Oh, you'll learn.
- Connie Harris, aka Connie Ross: Get this straight. There's certain types of girls we don't want. We don't like eggheads. After you pass your final initiation there's certain things you gotta do to keep your membership. And if you have to pass your subjects to keep from getting in dutch at home, that's okay. But, make sure you don't do with any more than a D. We don't like showoffs and we don't like teacher's pets. There's only one teacher I'll let any Hellcat be nice to and that's Miss Davis.
- Connie Harris, aka Connie Ross: Hey, the joint's jumpin'. Let's get a drink and catch up with 'em, huh?
- Mike Landers: I don't want my girl messing around with those creeps.
- Joyce Martin: Oh, am I your girl?
- Mike Landers: What do you think?
- [long kiss]
- Joyce Martin: I wouldn't deliberately make you and mother worry.
- Roger Martin: I don't know anything anymore except that you're absolutely and completely out of control!
- Joyce Martin: Out of control? What do you mean? Coming home late one night isn't out of control!
- Roger Martin: You shouldn't have let her go!
- Linda Martin: Why not?
- Roger Martin: Because she's never been allowed to be out this late and you know it. I didn't slave so hard to bring her up right, that she can be running off to wild parties. I won't stand for it!
- Linda Martin: Who says it's a wild party?
- Roger Martin: I know these kids!
- Rip: We got to clean up this place so it doesn't look like anybody's been here. Now, pick up the records and the glasses and we'll pile them in the car. Freddie, get the lead out!
- Joyce Martin: She scares me.
- Meg: Me too. You want to know something? I don't think she's got all her marbles.
- Dolly Crane: Look here, quit chopping at me! I don't know anything and I didn't do anything! Leave me alone!
- Roger Martin: Whatever happened to the respect that children used to show their parents?
- Linda Martin: Well, maybe they have to receive it in order to show it.
