The Princess Diaries

Helen Thermopolis: [first lines] Time for school! Stop daydreaming, you'll be late for school. Paolo Puttanesca: I love your eyebrows. We'll call them Frida and Kahlo. If Brooke Shields married Groucho Marx, their child would have your eyebrows. Suki Sanchez: It was just last night that San Francisco's own little princess partied at the beach. But what started out as innocent fun, soon turned into allegedly, too much fun. This is Suki Sanchez for KPFW. Philippe Renaldi (Mia's late father): [from his letter to Mia for her 16th birthday] "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all. From now on you'll be traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be. The key is to allow yourself to make the journey."

Mia: Joe, could you park a block from school? I don't wanna cause a riot in this hearse. Joe: This is a non-riot hearse. And, if it were a hearse, there would be silence in the backseat.
