From my perspective, the show Lizzie McGuire is really good, as well as very well-written, too. Also, Hilary Duff is really amazing and has a naturalness when it comes to acting. She really brought Lizzie to life the way she did, and I am very proud of her, too. :)

(The way I see it, besides pretending to be someone who is fictional and sometimes different from the actor playing the character in real life, acting is using the imagination one was given.)

So, with that, here are some of my favorite quotes from some of the Lizzie McGuire episodes that I recall the best:

Kate: (along with Claire and the other cheerleaders at the pep rally in the gym) U-G-L-Y! You ain’t got no alibi! You ugly! Yeah, yeah, you ugly! (Lizzie looks shocked) U-G-L-Y! You ain’t got no alibi! You ugly! Yeah, yeah, you ugly!
2, 4, 6, 8! Who’s the girl we love to hate?
Lizzie, Lizzie... Bi-i-i-ig Loser! Loser! Big Loser!
~(1x01; Rumors)

**********************

Kate: What’s your email, Lizzie? lizzie@biggiantloser.com?
Gordo: Could you say that one more time for the camera, Kate? I’m trying to cast the part of the bitter, talentless girl.
~(1x05; I’ve Got Rhythmic)

**********************

Sam: (to Lizzie) You really grew up in middle school. Look at all the things you tried. Running for Class President... rhythmic gymnastics... you helped save the environment... and you got your first job.
Lizzie: Yeah. And, Dad, I failed at all of that stuff. I mean, I got fired... I hated rhythmic gymnastics... I didn’t win the election, and I didn’t save the world.
Sam: Yeah, but you tried. And the only time you really fail, honey, is when you don’t try. I think you’re going to do just fine in high school — really.
~(2x24; Bye, Bye, Hillridge Junior High)

*****************

Lizzie: (to Gordo on his preferring Frank Sinatra over the music the other students like) Gordo, shouldn’t you be listening to Britney Spears?
Gordo: (in a “you-have-got-to-be-kidding-me” tone) Why?
Miranda: Because that’s what normal people listen to.
Lizzie: We don’t want people thinking that you’re weird.
~(1x12; Come Fly with Me)

*****************

Ethan: (steps in and stops bully Vince from tormenting Lizzie and Miranda one step further on the bus) Yo, Vince. Give it up.
Vince: Yeah, OK.
~(1x12; Come Fly with Me)

***************

Gordo: You guys are never gonna guess what came in the mail for me the other day.
Ethan: A new skateboard. Food. CDs. A cell phone. Money?
Gordo: Hmm, kind of. A credit card.
~(2x32; The Gordo Shuffle)

********************

Gordo: I would rather impress the ladies with what’s in my mind, than what’s in my wallet.
Ethan: (after thinking over Gordo’s words) That’s deep.
~(2x32; The Gordo Shuffle)

********************

Lizzie: So, what’d your parents say?
Gordo: You mean after they yelled at the credit card company?
Lizzie: (a little surprised) They yelled at the credit card company, and they didn’t yell at you?
Toon Lizzie: (puzzled) That makes no sense. Why can’t my parents be like that?
Gordo: See, they — they knew that I wouldn’t actually ask for a credit card. So they were pretty mad when some company just sent me one.
Lizzie: And how are you going to pay it off?
Gordo: Yeah, well, pretty much lost my allowance for the rest of my life. So, from now on, there’s no more food, no entertainment, no anything.
Lizzie: Sounds fun.
Gordo: Yep. Guess it’ll just be you and me, hanging out, doing nothing.
Lizzie: Ugh — torture.
Toon Lizzie: Actually, that’s not so bad.
~(2x32; The Gordo Shuffle)

**************************

Miranda: (sarcastically) Great, a pop quiz.
Gordo: (sincerely and excitedly) Great, a pop quiz! I love the smell of pop quizzes in the morning.
Angel Lieberman: What planet are you from again, Gor-dork?
~(1x11; Bad Girl McGuire)

**********************

Angel: (walks up to Lizzie) Hey, Frizz. Did you get the answers for the test from Gor-dork?
Lizzie: OK. A: My name is Lizzie, not ‘Frizz’. (Angel looks partly puzzled and partly surprised at hearing that) B: Gordo’s no dork. He’s one of my best friends. And C: I don’t cheat.
~(1x11; Bad Girl McGuire)

**********************

Officer: Matt McGuire?
Matt: (in a James Bond accent) No. No Matt McGuire here. (Raising an eyebrow, the officer and his partner walk over to where Matt is sitting on the counter)
Officer: (looks down at his notes) ‘Bond, Matt Bond’? (He looks at his partner, who shakes her head)
Matt: (sighs) I guess the jig is up.
~(1x15; Lizzie’s Nightmares)

**********************

Gordo: So, did Matt get in beaucoup trouble?
Lizzie: Total. Grounded for a month, no TV and no phone. And the best part is, he’s got to keep a solid ten feet away from me at all times.
Miranda: Yeah, but meanwhile, everyone at school is still talking about him.
Gordo: Yep, nothing says “cool” like getting arrested — especially at school.
~(1x15; Lizzie’s Nightmares)

**********************

Lizzie: Hey, I thought you were gonna be at the dance.
Gordo: Well, my best friend wasn’t gonna be there. So, why would I wanna go?
~(2x13; You’re a Good Man, Lizzie McGuire)

*********************

Lizzie: Aren’t you guys supposed to be at the dance?
Ethan: Oh, Lizzie, Lizzie, Lizzie. Since you couldn’t come to the party, the party’s coming to you.
Lizzie: I don’t know what to say.
Ethan: You don’t got to say anything. Just show me where the stereo is, and I’ll crank some tunes.
~(2x13; You’re a Good Man, Lizzie McGuire)

*********************

Kate: (to her mom on the phone about what her cousin Amy had done) Mom, they pushed me into my own cake. They didn’t even sing ‘Happy Birthday.’ No, she used my birthday party to invite all of her friends.
~(2x18; Party Over Here)

*********************

Lizzie: (angrily, to Kate) Whatever. Happy Birthday. I’m out. (She turns to leave, but stops at hearing a crash from the living room and looks back at Kate, who walks over to the bed and sits on it; Lizzie goes and sits next to her, while her voice turns calm) Kate... is this the party you wanted?
Kate: (shakes her head a little) I wanted a few friends for movies. But my mom said I should have a grown-up party, and then she left town. So, I’m stuck here with a hundred of my cousin’s closest friends.
~(2x18; Party Over Here)

*********************

Jo: (angrily) What were you thinking, Matt?!
Matt: (now frustrated) OK, I cave! You see, we were at the bus stop, and the bus left without us, and we were running, running, running! I wanted to do the responsible thing — and I did, I did! Is it my fault that the penny told me to take the rest of the day off? Is it, is it?
Jo: (now stern) Matt, the responsible thing would be to have called us — not to go gallivanting all over town! You should know better!
~(2x19; She Said, He Said, She Said)

*********************

Miranda: (after she and Gordo come into the back yard) Hey, how are you doin’?
Lizzie: Oh, not bad. My parents kept pulling the ‘Any guy would be lucky to go out with you’ thing, so..
Gordo: Want to go to the dance anyway?
Lizzie: Nah. I don’t have a date.
Miranda: Neither do I. Well, I thought of someone I would ask, but, turns out, Brad Pitt’s married.
Gordo: And as expected, poor old Gordo got zero invites. The big goose egg. Good morning, good afternoon, and good night. (sighs)
Lizzie: So, um.. dance with me.
