8 | !!This film has the examples of: |
9 | |
10 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Cat's younger brother Pete. |
11 | * BathtubBonding: Cat and Grace bond this way. |
12 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: |
13 | -->'''Cat:''' ''[narrating]'' All I wanted was to impress him, to get his attention.\ |
14 | ''[wind [[MarilynManeuver blows her skirt up]] right as she's walking by William]''\ |
15 | '''Cat:''' ''[narrating]'' Not exactly what I had in mind. |
16 | * TheCameo: Creator/MelanieGriffith appears in a brief, walk-on role. |
17 | * EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy: The girls all curtsy to their teacher as they enter school. Delilah does it in an exaggerated, mocking way. |
18 | * ForeignExchangeStudent: Grace is an exchange student from England. |
19 | * ForgottenBirthday: Cat's absentee dad forgets to call her on her birthday. |
20 | * GirlsHaveCooties: After Cat sneezes on Pete's food, he refuses to eat any more on account of it now being covered with her cooties. |
21 | * SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish: Cited by Delilah in reference to Grace: "The only reason those fucking imbeciles let her into our class is because of that accent. They think if you roll your r's you have a higher IQ or something." |
22 | * TeachersPet: Eloise, who is hated by the other girls for it. Naturally, Cat's mom wishes she'd hang out with Eloise. |
23 | * TheirFirstTime: Well, Cat's first time at least. It ''probably'' wasn't William's first time. |
24 | * ToxicFriendInfluence: With the exception of goody-two-shoes Eloise, all the teens in Cat's life encourage her to engage in delinquent behavior, not that she needs too much encouragement in that area. |
