  • Tilly’s opening line:
    Tilly: I’m back, you bastards.
  • Tilly, and later Barney and Molly, hitting Miss Harrideen’s and other’s houses with golf balls.
  • Tilly using her stunning looks and exquisite wardrobe to distract the footy players and win Dungatar the game.
    Gertrude: A dress can’t change anything.
    Tilly: (shakes her hair) Watch and learn, Gert. Watch and learn.
  • Tilly’s dresses that she makes. Especially Gertrude’s at the ball.
  • Molly's brutal The Reason You Suck speech to the town's women:
    Molly: It was you lot killed Teddy. He died trying to prove his love for her was stronger than your hate. Anyone would die trying to prove that. As soon as she's able, I'll see to it she finishes what she started. Because Teddy was wrong: you can't be left to yourselves, or to fate. You're the curse. And you've got to be stopped.
  • Tilly setting fire to the town, while looking impeccable.
  • The movie's final line:
    Conductor: Burning off rubbish, were they? Looks like they overdid it.
    Tilly: You never met the rubbish.
