Goofs

• When Peggy is at Clarissa's Closet, the shoes on the shelf changes between shots.

Quotes

• Luanne: My very first clothing exchange. I've never felt so cosmopolitan. That's a word I learned in a bar.

• Nancy: So the magazine says we each present an item of clothing and the first one to call dibs gets it.

Minh: Oh, like a key party. Or so I've heard.

• Luanne: Aunt Peggy, culottes aren't cool. Even though it sounds like they should be.

• Dale: This is as relaxing as smoking used to be.

• Peggy: I don't know why everyone doesn't drive with their high beams on. You see so much better.

• Peggy: People do not say it, but they make me look ten years younger.

• Bill: What does it mean if instead of a purse a woman carries a tattered grocery bag?

• Hank: Well, she had to get something for her costume. She called it a "sequin emergency". I asked her to call it something else, but she refused.

• Minh: We're trying to cheer her up, not tick her off. You want to get punched in the face? That woman's got fists like frozen turkeys.

Peggy: I could still hear you, ya know.

• Peggy: Don't answer it.

Hank: Well, Peggy, that's like telling a lie. You just don't do that.

Peggy: Fine. Then I'm not here.

Hank: But that's also a lie.

• Peggy: Carolyn, my friend, is really a man who dresses up like a woman.

Hank: Now - Now hold on. That doesn't make any sense.

• Hank: Uh, I'll have a normal orange juice, please. Make it normal.

• Carolyn: Peggy, drag queens model themselves after strong, substantial, fearless women, women who aren't afraid to wear purple gauchos and MC Hammer glasses, women who only need one name to describe themselves, like Liza, Barbra, and Cher. You, my dear, are simply Peggy.
