Mia : I can't do this, I'm a girl.
Gym Teacher Harbula : What am I? A duck?
-
Mia : I can't be a princess! I'm still waiting for normal body parts to arrive!
-
Queen Clarisse Renaldi : Amelia, you look so... young.
Mia : Thank you. And you look so...
[long pause]
Mia : ... clean.
-
Queen Clarisse Renaldi : You are princess of Genovia.
Mia : Me, a princess?
[shouts]
Mia : Shut up!
Queen Clarisse Renaldi : I beg your pardon, "Shut up"?
Consulate Maitre'D : Oh, your majesty, in America, it doesn't always mean to be quiet. Here it could mean "Wow, gee whiz, golly wolly"...

Mia : [voiceover] Dear Diary, today is my first official day as Princess of Genovia. We'll land in a few hours, and I'll meet Parliament and the people before beginning my royal duties. Mom is, of course, moving to Genovia with me, and we'll continue painting - without the balloons. Lilly and Michael are planning to spend their summer vacation at our - can you believe it - palace. They're even having my Mustang brought over, which I can legally drive in two weeks. Grandma's so glad to be going home, and Joseph - well, he's watching nearby as usual. Everybody's got pre-coronation jitters, including me. Everybody that is, except Fat Louie. He's totally adapted to being a royal. I guess he was one all along.
Joe : [voiceover] Princess, look out the window... and welcome to Genovia.
-
Mia : Okay... you know what? I don't feel protected. You try living for 15 years thinking that you're one person, and then in five minutes, you find out you're a princess. Just in case I wasn't enough of a freak already, let's add a tiara!
-
Mia : Hey, Joe?
Joe : Mm-Hmmm?
Mia : I'm gonna turn the backseat into a dressing room so I can change into a proper outfit for Madame, OK?
Joe : OK. And don't forget your shoes.
Mia : Ahh, thanks.
Joe : Strange town, San Francisco. When I purchased the pumps, they asked if I wanted them wrapped or if I was going to wear them.
-
Helen Thermopolis : This is getting us nowhere! Talk to me!
Mia : I can't talk to you right now; I'm late for a meeting with my guidance counselor.
Queen Clarisse Renaldi : I'm late for a meeting with Spain and *Portugal*!
-
Mia : [Responding to Lilly's insults] Lilly! Just stop it, okay? Just because your hair sucks, get off mine!
-
Lilly : Michael, don't always think you could get a ride with us and...
[sees Mia's new look]
Lilly : Oy. Who destroyed you?
Mia : Oh. You-you think it looks that bad?
Lilly : You look ridiculous. You should sue.
Mia : Well um... I know it's a little straighter and shorter and...
Lilly : Weirder!
[Get's in limo]
Michael : An attractive weirder.
Lilly : No, it's not attractive!
Joe : Seat belts, please.
Lilly : What I really can't understand is that you ditched me again yesterday when I really needed your help at the greenpeace petition.
[picks up bag]
Lilly : These bags! You HAVE one of these bags? You know, we could hock that and feed a whole third world country!
[Looks at Michael]
Lilly : Am I right?
Michael : No.
Joe : If there are no more passengers, I think we should close the door.
-
Helen Thermopolis : Mia, the-the three of us have to talk.
Mia : Oh, OK. Um, is there maybe something else about me and my life that just maybe I might want to know about? Um-oh no, are you two waiting to take me on a talk show somewhere and to let me know I have a twin sister who's a duchess?
Queen Clarisse Renaldi : You have a cousin who's a contessa. Fondly known as Bartholomew. Actually, we call him Pookie.
-
Mia : [on her green bathing suit] Okay I look like an asparagus.
Helen Thermopolis : But a very, very cute asparagus!
-
Mia : You know, most kids hope for a car for their 16th birthday, not a country!
-
Mia : Somebody sat on me again.
-
Mia : And then I realized how many stupid times a day I used the word "I". In fact, probably all I ever do is think about myself. And how lame is that when there's, like, 7 billion other people out there on the planet and when -
[Clarisse clears her throat]
-
Mia : As always, this is as good as it's going to get.
-
Mia : Tell me, how does my mother, or any person for that matter, go into a parent/teacher conference and come out with a date?
-
Mia : Now, what did you want to tell me?
Queen Clarisse Renaldi : Something that, I think, will have a very big impact upon your life.
Mia : I already have braces.
Queen Clarisse Renaldi : No, it's bigger than orthodontia.
-
Queen Clarisse Renaldi : So, where are you taking me?
Mia : Well, uh, do you have any change?
Queen Clarisse Renaldi : No. It's not appropriate for royalty to jingle.
Mia : Okay, I'll get the change.

-
Mia : I don't want to rule my own country, I just want to pass the tenth grade.
-
Mia : [to her cat, Fat Louie] You are so lucky you don't know who your parents are.
-
Helen Thermopolis : Where are you going?
Mia : I'm going up to straighten the royal bedchamber.

Gym Teacher Harbula : Bobby Bad, hang up the phone.
Bobby Bad : [on his cell phone] Yes, Mom, I'll go to the dentist after school.
Mia : I hate it when they move in like that.
Gym Teacher Harbula : Mia, it's not a championship game, it's not even a *big* game, it's just gym class. Just hit the ball. I don't want to flunk you in gym class. C'mon, you can do it. Keep your eye on the ball.

Helen Thermopolis : That Backstreet Boy clone you've had a crush on for years?
Mia : He's not a Backstreet Boy clone.
-
Helen Thermopolis : [comforting Mia after she's been humiliated at the beach party] My mom always told me l couldn't cry and toId me to be a big girl. But you've been hurt, so you just cry, okay?
Mia : It was really bad. My foot didn't even pop!
-
Mia : Good morning, Mrs. Gupta.
Vice Principal Gupta : [looks at Lily] Good morning, Lily.
[looks at Mia]
Vice Principal Gupta : Lily's friend.
