Lawn darts, beep rat and "on his roof setting coon traps."
This movie is hilarious, up there with Christopher Guest and Mel Brooks. I am also partial to any movie that exaggerates a Minnesota accent (DDG, Fargo). I know many Minn natives don't find it funny at all (including a friend of mine who gets downright hostile). But it cracks me up every time. -

Yeah, this film has tons of hilarious quotes. Some of my favourites:
Leslie Miller: [to Lisa when she gives Amber her Jacket] They're never gonna let you perform naked. I asked.
Leslie Miller: OH MY GOD! I DID IT! 2ND runner up. I GOT 2ND PLACE!
Pat: Third.
Leslie Miller: Wha?
Pat: Third place you got third place.
Leslie Miller: Oh.
Lisa Swenson: Guess what, Dad; Peter's gay!
Lisa Swenson's Father: What!
Lisa Swenson: [shouting] GAY!
Loretta: You stop right there. You are a good person. Good things happen to good people.
Amber Atkins: Really?
Loretta: No. It's pure beep sweetie. You're lucky as hell, so you might as well enjoy it.
Amber Atkins: [Running onto the scene of her and her mom's blown up trailer home] Mom? MOM?
Fireman: Whoa, whoa, whoa you family?
Loretta: No, she's just yelling, "Mom, mom," because she has Tourettes! She's Annette's kid beep
Annette Atkins: Who's this?
Amber Atkins: Oh, they're here to see my room and film me for their movie.
Annette Atkins: If they ask you to take your top off, get the money first.
Amber Atkins: This is beep
Iris Clark: That is not American Teen Princess language!
Amber Atkins: Well this isn't an American Teen Princess Pageant! This This This is Nazi Germany!
Gladys Leeman: He sells reproductions! His furniture's as fake as my orgasms! -

My absolute favorite is:
Amber:
"Look, number one rule in a funeral home, never sneek up on the living. You never know who might have a skull saw or an embalming needle in their hands. Mr. Lawson's son learned that the hard way, he's buried next to my grandpa."
Right after the camera crew scares her in the funeral home -

All of these quotes are just hilarious. One part that I don't think many people notice though is back stage during the pageant, when Amber can't find her tap costume. She and Becky get into a fight and Iris pulls her off, among the many things that Amber is yelling at Becky is "I hate her", to which Iris says "I know, we all do."
It just cracks me up, because it shows how everyone knows how corrupt the contest actually is.
"Ready Mike?"
"I was born ready Timmy."
"But are you ready now?" -

Loretta: "You're mom wanted you to have this since your other one got toasted and all!"
Amber: "Oh my God it's just like Diane Sawyer's!"
Loretta: "Yeah!"
Amber: "Except it's not a size 10 Diane was a little hippy back then."
Loretta: "Not our girl!"
Amber: "Oh no!" -

Amy Adams- Yea I'm really nervous. It's been about 2 months. I haven't told my boyfriend yet. How did you know?
Camera man- I meant nervous about the pagent.
Amy Adams- Oh! Nervous about the pagent. Yea!
Amy Adams- You can't perform naked, I already asked. -

The whole scene with Mary lipsyncing while her nurse makes her "dance" around is priceless, amazing
Becky: It smells like gasoline (referring to the swan)
Gladys: Everything in Mexico smells like that!
and the guy clapping and mouthing "good job" after the explosion
I've never seen a movie with so many quotes. Lona Williams, the writer and third pageant judge, should write more, more, more. She has such a gift.
