- Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek: [on their wedding night] Eddie, we gotta be careful, I don't wanna get pregnant.
- Edna Garrett: [to Jo] We'll wait outside and give you some privacy. Come on, Blair.
- Blair Warner: It's 10 below out there!
- Edna Garrett: You'll live.
- Blair Warner: Don't joke, Tootie. Poverty is no fun.
- Natalie Green: You listen to Blair. She saw Coal Miner's Daughter.
- Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek: I guess you think I'm too young to get married, huh?
- Edna Garrett: Well, it doesn't matter what I think. You're the one that has to be happy.
- Edna Garrett: Jo, must you leave tonight?
- Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek: Yeah, Eddie's gotta get back to the base. We're taking my bike and detouring through West Virginia. The legal age is sixteen there.
- Edna Garrett: You can't ride that bike tonight. It's freezing out there!
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: [to Eddie] She's right. You don't wanna end up with a frigid bride.
- Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek: I'm really surprised you're doing all of this, Mrs. Garrett. I was sure you'd think I was making a big mistake.
- Edna Garrett: I do. But I guess you think you're old enough to know what you're doing.
- Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek: Uh, listen, if she's gonna be at the shower, I'm not!
- Edna Garrett: Now, Jo, you and Blair are roommates and friends.
- Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek: You mean, we were.
- Blair Warner: Don't worry, I can take a hint. I wouldn't come to your bridal shower anyway. I don't even know what your silver pattern is.
- Natalie Green: I wonder what my mother would say if I were getting married at sixteen. She's into psychology, so she'd avoid using words like "can't", "mustn't" and "never." She'd find other words, like "hurt", "maim" and "kill."
- Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek: [receives gift] You don't have to give me a present.
- Blair Warner: It's not a present. It's just something I'm tired of.
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: [Jo opens box, takes out silky garment] Wow! Look out, mama! What a great warm-up suit!
- Natalie Green: Blair, isn't that the nightie you bought from Saks Fifth Avenue?
- Blair Warner: It's not a nightie. It's a peignoir. If Jo insists on this madness, I want her to do it with style.
- Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek: This is brand-new.
- Blair Warner: So what? I was just gonna unveil it at some slumber party. It will be much more effective where you're gonna unveil it.
