Ray: Some fairy tales are true. Most other stories we make up to help us deal with real life. It all depends on your point of view, but here are the facts. There was once a princess who lived in a castle high above the streets of an enchanted kingdom. The king and queen were long gone, but they left her with their treasure so that she could stay a princess forever. On the eve of her 22nd birthday, a great celebration was planned.

Ray: You're a little overage to be wearing a lampshade in your hair. Bright idea?

Ray: You want to pick up bacterial meningitis or polio, you go ahead and be my guest. Whatever diseases you're already carrying probably make those sound like a joke, anyway.

Ray: I know you have trouble reading something as simple as a sign on the door, Gooey Huey. So let me help you. This is the ladies' room.

Ray: Mom, I wanna go home now!

Ray: Oh, my God. You're my new nanny?

Ray: It's Ray. Nobody calls me Laraine.

Ray: Fruit punch? Why don't you just drink cyanide? At least it's quick.

Ray: You don't touch that unless I happen to invite you to tea.

Ray: You just got your germy drool over my plastic scone, you freako.

Ray: I'm not the one who's gonna get mad cow disease and go nuts, though you don't seem to have a brain to fry in the first place.

Ray: Give me that plate.

Ray: When you work for me, you leave when I say you can leave.

Ray: Yeah? Take a look around. Do you see her anywhere? News flash... you're not gonna unless you make an appointment with her assistant or hang around her bedroom door at 3:00 in the morning. In the meantime, you're workin' for me.

Ray: Act your age, not your shoe size.

Ray: Freestyle is for moronic little kids and hippie freaks.

Ray: Fundamentals are the building blocks of fun.

Ray: Ballet is about precision, discipline, and poise.

Ray: Fine. I take it back.

Ray: I really hate surprises, and I sincerely doubt there's anything you could give me that I don't already have.

Ray: My glands are swollen. I'm having an allergic reaction. My immune system is crashing.

Ray: It's a harsh world.

Ray: Are you on crack?

Ray: Why don't you alert the media?

Ray: I'm psyched, okay?

Ray: Let me go. Are you trying to murder me?

Ray: You're lucky. That you were mad. When you're mad, you don't miss people, and if you stay mad, it's like you never knew them at all. that way you don't have to feel sucky about it... you were lucky...

Ray: Sick as a dog.

Ray: Don't touch. Germs. Sorry.

Ray: Hey, Dad. I know I haven't... Well, what I really wanted to tell you was about my new pet. It's really Molly's, my nanny, but the thing is, it's a pig... literally. His name is Mu. He's from Thailand. He's really clean, I have to admit, even if he is a pig. Anyway, what I'm really into these days is ballet. You and Mom used to say that it was old-fashioned, but I swear it's really cool. I'm already doing changements and chaînèes... you know, when you spin and spin and spin, It used to make me dizzy. Now I'm only dizzy when I stop.

Ray: You can have your job back, you know.

Ray: Grownups never stay friends with kids.

Ray: Every story has an end, but in life, every ending is just a new beginning.
