Jessi: Stacey, how was your date with Luca? Stacey: Smashing... Kristy: Smashing? What, did he hit you over the head with his charm?
Kristy Thomas: When can you start? Alan Gray: Yesterday. Kristy Thomas: You've got a deal. Dawn Schafer: Kristy! He's a dweeb. Kristy Thomas: He's a free dweeb! Alan Gray: Yeah, I'm a free dweeb.
Mallory Pike: (Re: The amount of money the baby-sitters would make) Wow... we could buy a car! Jessi: Yeah, and in five years we could drive it!
Suzi Barrett: I've been to the moon.
(Claudia is arguing with Kristy for bailing on her when Kristy was supposed to help her study) Kristy: Look, Claude, I'm sorry, OK? Claudia Kishi: Sorry's not good enough. Mary Anne Spier: She said she was sorry. Claudia Kishi: Mary Anne! Kristy, Claudia Kishi: Stay out of this!
Logan Bruno: (to Alan who is trying to get Dawn to like him and just squirted her with a novelty flower) I said give her a flower not squirt her with one!
Kristy Thomas: Hi, I'm Kristy. I'm the founding member of the baby-sitters club. I don't mean to brag or anything but we're famous, here in Stoneybrook. Everybody knows us. That's because everybody uses us. You call one number, and get connected with seven incredible baby-sitters. This is Stacey, she's our club treasurer. She's good at keeping track of money, she's also good at spending it. Stace was raised in New York City. Sometimes she thinks she still lives there. That's Mary-Ann. When we were little, we used to live next door to each other. She's kind of quiet, kind of serious. Why are we friends? They say opposites attract. Dawn's Mary-Ann's step-sister. She grew up in California. Dawn really cares about the envirement. Her biggest regret is that she wasn't born on eart day. And of course Mallory, she's a junior member of the club. She started her novel when she turned eleven and is determined to finish it by the time she's eleven and a half. Jesse's Mallory's best friend and another junior member of the club. Jesse's motto is ''Why walks when you can dance?''. You know, we're more than just a club. We're friends. Best friends. Nothing could ever change that.
Kristy Thomas: Hey, guys. Sorry I'm late. Can we start? Claudia Kishi: We already have. Okay, new business. The Haberman problem. Kristy Thomas: Who's miss Haberman? Dawn Schafer: She's our next door neighbour who's going to call the city and take away our permit. Kristy Thomas: We don't need a permit, I checked it out! Stacey: Well, it would've been nice if you were there to tell her that. Kristy Thomas: I had an appointement, okay? Claudia Kishi: Since when is a date an appointment? Kristy Thomas: It wasn't a date! Look, Claude, I said I was sorry. I'll talk to her, it's no big deal. Mary Anne Spier: It is a big deal, Kristy. We could lose the camp. Kristy Thomas: I said I'd handle it, okay? Stacey: I have to go meet Lucas. Jessi: I have to sit for Becca. Dawn Schafer: Come on, Marry-Ann. The Masons are coming for dinner. Mallory Pike: I have to finish my novel.
