However, watch this film now and discover its hidden jokes we didn’t get aged 10 and its fashions BANG ON with the autumn 2013 collections.

Cher: A dress.
Cher’s Dad: Says who?

Cher’s Dad: Where are you?
Cher: I’m just having a snack at my girlfriend’s.
Cher’s Dad: Where, in Kuwait?
Cher: Is that in the valley?
Cher: Isn’t my house classic? The columns date all the way back to 1972.
Cher: I want to do something for humanity.
Josh: How about sterilization?
Cher: Do you prefer fashion victim or ensembly challenged?
Cher: He does dress better than I do, what would I bring to the relationship?
Josh: (watching news about the Bosnian conflict) You look confused.
Cher: Well, uh, I thought they declared peace in the Middle East.
Heather: It’s just like Hamlet said, “To thine own self be true.”
Cher: Hamlet didn’t say that.
Heather: I think I remember Hamlet accurately.
Cher: Well, I remember Mel Gibson accurately, and he didn’t say that. That Polonius guy did.
Tai: Do you think she’s pretty?
Cher: No, she’s a full-on Monet.
Tai: What’s a monet?
Cher: It’s like a painting, see? From far away, it’s OK, but up close, it’s a big old mess.
Cher: (in regards to losing her virginity) You see how picky I am about my shoes and they only go on my feet.
Cher: I was surfing the crimson wave. I had to haul ass to the ladies’.
Mel: Do you know what time it is?
Cher: A watch doesn’t really go with this outfit, daddy.
Mel: You mean to tell me that you argued your way from a C+ to an A-?
Cher: Totally based on my powers of persuasion, you proud?
Mel: Honey, I couldn’t be happier than if they were based on real grades.
Mel: You drink?
Christian: No, thanks. I’m cool.
Mel: I’m not offering. I’m asking you if you drink. You think I offer alcohol to teenage drivers taking my daughter out?
Christian: Hey man, the protective vibe. I dig.
Tai: Why should I listen to you, anyway? You’re a virgin who can’t drive.
Amber: Ms. Stoeger, my plastic surgeon doesn’t want me doing any activity where balls fly at my nose.
Dionne: Well, there goes your social life.
Tai: I could really use some sort of herbal refreshment.
Dionne: Oh, well we do lunch in ten minutes. We don’t have any tea, but we have Coke and stuff.
Tai: No shit. You guys got Coke here?
Dionne: Well, yeah.
Cher: Yeah, this is America.
Cher: Daddy, did you ever have a problem you couldn’t argue your way out of?
Dad: Tell me the problem and we’ll figure out how to argue out of it.
Cher: So like, right now for example. The Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all, “What about the strain on our resources?” Well it’s like when I had this garden party for my father’s birthday, right? I put R.S.V.P. ’cause it was a sit-down dinner. But some people came that like did not R.S.V.P. I was like totally buggin’. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, and squish in extra place settings. But by the end of the day it was, like, the more the merrier.And so if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion may I please remind you it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty. Thank you very much.
Cher: would you call me selfish?
Dionne: no, not to your face.
