"Thank you. And thank you to the traditional landowners of Summer Heights, the Wurundjeri people. My name is Ja'mie. J-A-apostrophe-M-I-E. Weird name, I know. But you'll get used to it. Yes, I come from one of the most expensive private girls schools in the state, but I'm actually really cool. Please don't be intimidated by me. People always go "Private schools create better citizens," but I would say they create better quality citizens. Studies have shown that students from private schools are more likely to get into Uni and end up making a lot more money; while wife-beaters and rapists are nearly all public-school educated. Sorry, no offense, but it's true."

"I read an article, and like, there are more sluts in public schools."

"I think what happens is, like, out in the outer suburbs ugly people breed with other ugly people, so you end up with really fugly kids. So that's why when you look around a public school, and on average, like, no offense, but people are more fugly. Whereas in a rich school area -- shut up and let me explain -- in a rich area, like, hotter people breed with other hot people and have hotter kids."

"[choking back tears] I know I'm really going to miss my Hilford friends, and that's going to be really bad, and I don't want to be in classrooms where there's no air conditioning and asbestos in the roof and just crap desks and skanky bogans everywhere and sluts and I just wish I was with my friends and I wish I was going back to Hilford."

"When I meet girls, they're usually really threatened straight away, right?. So then I meet and they're like "oh my god, she's so hot, I'm never going to be friends with her" and then I go up to them and I'm like "Hi! How you going?!" and they're really surprised that I'm giving them the time of day."

"It's not cause she's Asian, it's cause she's annoying!"

Who the fuck is she? Friends do not write two text messages in an hour saying "see you in English" "save me a seat." I don't know why I trusted a year seven! I don't know what you want from me. Seriously. Like, I'm committed to you, I'm obsessed with you, I've got a compilation CD in my bag that I was going to give you on the way home as a surprise. I've got you as my background on my MySpace site."

"Why would you do this to me? Look at me - I'm fucking hot. You could've had everything. You could've had all of this."

"Do you want your phone back? Because you're not going to get it. I'm going to keep it. I'm confiscating it. No, fuck off, you're not getting it back. Get on your stupid little fucking bike and get out of my life because I'm sick of you and take your fucking phone and go home.

"You know what would be embarrassing? Having your head."

"[crying, on the phone] Mom it's me. I'm really upset. You've got to come and pick me up. 'Cause everyone's being a bitch to me. I should never have come here. They don't even have fucking grass on their oval. It's all just dirt. I am not going to see the school councilor you bitch! I hate this school. I do not want to be here. I want to fucking go back to Hillford. I'll trash my room and you will be fucking cleaning it up, okay? I will have no hesitation in smashing your doll's cupboard with a hammer, Mom. I'm serious. Or maybe I'll get pregnant. Maybe I'll just go and root some teacher or something and get pregnant and then you deal with that. You'll have to fucking raise the baby. Is that what you want? I am seriously gonna hyperventilate and die and it will be your fault. I am not fucking getting on the train home! The train stations out in the suburbs here are seriously fucked up. I'm gonna get raped or something and then I'll be in counseling for the rest of my life and it will be your fault! Why are you the biggest bitch in the world to me? I'm 16, mom. In a couples years time I'm going to be fucking out of your life. I'm not even going to fucking invite you to my wedding. Do you love me? If you fucking love me you will do as I fucking say. I just want to go back to Hillford. That is where I belong. I'm not supposed to be here. I'm a fucking private-school girl."

"Really nice, Holly, considering I had an eating disorder in year eight when I was developing and that's why I have no tits. I'm still developing, they're going to get bigger. When I'm 25 these are going to be fucking huge 'cause I'm gonna get implants."

"You are so fat the fat doesn't know where to go and it pops out your chest."

Episode 5
"Overruled. I'm president, Ashley."

"Is that why? Oh, I thought it was the povo factor."

"Just 'cause you go to a public school doesn't mean you can't go off."

"It's a formal! Just let us have it!"

"You told me you were anorexic. Obviously you were lying."

"Deal with it, we're starving for a cause."

"I'm going to go and see Mr. Cameron and tell him that I've started cutting my arms. That's why I'm wearing the jumper, so I'm just going to go in and go "Oh my God, what do you want me to do? like, I'm going to kill myself if you don't let us have it." Seriously. And if he doesn't let us have it then, then he's a bastard and it's like murder. He should go to jail or something, 'cause I could die from cutting myself."

"And my group talks to the fugly girls. That's right. Formals bring people together."

"Freeze. See what I mean? It's a much better place to be. So, Mr. Cameron, reconsider and let us have a year-11 formal. Before we go, I want to give you guys an example of what you will look like going off on the dance floor at the formal."

"If you can guarantee me that it's a cool thing and it's going to make us look good, then I think we should [let lesbians come to our formal].""

"Ashely, can you write that down? "All lesbians allowed at the formal.""

"Come along, get some tickets. They're $450 bucks and we'll see you on the night."

"Oh, the wheelchair guy? He's hot, Jesus."

"Wheelchairs are such a good visual."

"I want us to look equally hot on the night, so if that's what you're worried about I can give you some tips."

Episode 7
"Formal issues. Guys, formal issue!"

"When I said I was going to plan a formal I didn't realize you guys would be too povo to pay for it, no offense."

"I can bring in my designer clothes and you guys can wear them!"

"I've done heaps of this stuff before. The key is to make people feel really guilty."

"AIDS is a huge problem in Africa. People are dying of AIDS every second. It's really bad. So on Thursday we'll be having a dress-up day to raise important funds for AIDS in Africa."

"Going with the AIDS thing means that people are more likely to give money because they're going to feel really bad. If I just said it was for the formal they wouldn't care. Do you know what I mean?"

"The dress up theme is AIDS. So come dressed as an AIDS-related thing, like a doctor, a nurse, a patient, or an African."

"Well I don't really see it as lying. It's like just delaying telling them the truth about it."

"Yeah, I'm like a naughty AIDS nurse."

"Oh, you came as a lesbian. That looks cool. Kinda related -- gay, AIDS."

"Hi everyone. Welcome to "Fashion for AIDS"."

- Bec

"This is a Dolce & Gabbana dress that I wore to my year-nine formal. As you can see, it still fits me."

"Seriously, if I have to cancel the formal I am going to kill myself."

"So, mom's offered to pay for the DJ and the venue and you can give all the AIDS money to a charity, and it's worked out really well. You don't have to tell the Department of Education."

"Sir, mom and I want to know if you'll accept a check to keep quiet about this and not tell the Department of Education. We're really rich, so just name your price and we'll sort you out."

"The theme of the formal is "Rich For a Day", it's not "Povo Public School Crap For a Day.""

Episode 8
"I had my spray tan done. I went for the "Tahitian Princess" 'cause it's a little bit darker than the other girls, but I have the face to carry it off."

"I don't want to look slut, but sort of semi-slut."

"There's so many attention-diggers here, it's tragic."

"I hope tonight's formal has taught you guys that just because you go to a public school and you're povo, it doesn't mean that you can't have a good time. Do you know what I mean? Seriously, stop worrying about money, get over it, and have an amazing time!"

"He's got to text me four times a day. That's one of the rules. Even if it's just a "hi baby" or a smiley face or something."

"I'd rather be a pedophile than a lesbian."

"You have to text me everyday, ok? Swear on our relationship you will. And don't hang out with any year-seven girls. I'll hear about it if you do. There's your phone. I stole it out of your bag. Just wanted to check your messages. And put a photo of me on your screen, please. I've got you on my Blackberry."

"Yeah, maybe. I go out in the city a lot, so it might be really weird."

"Don't come out. Stay at the gate. It symbolizes public/private."

"Public schools rock!"
