Posted: 11/23/04 at 3:49pm

does anyone remember the scene between tracy and edna... when she's trying to convice edna to let her go to the audition? edna says something about "people like us," meaning plus-sized ladies,"just don't do that" or something like that? what are the lines? i love that scene.

Is it in the CD booklet?

"What the hell happened to you? You look like a Make-A-Wish Kid. You know, I just knew you were gonna bring shame on this new family of ours, and it just figures you had to go make yourself over into some heroin-shootin skate board chic on the only day E! could interview you!" - Cherry Cherry, on her daughter Mary Cherry

"gimme a bottle of bourbon and half a chicken and i'll conquer the world!"

how it begins? first penny and tracy walk in after school, tracy had detention. they start to watch the corny collins show. then penny leaves. as penny leaves wilbur walks in. then tracy tells wilbur shes gonna audition for the show, afer her mother says no. and then enda says to wilbur, talk to her honey, people like us are only put on tv to get laughed at.

I think it's something like:

TRACY: "But Mama, I wanna be famous!"
EDNA: "You want to be famous? Learn to get blood out of car upholstery. That's a talent you can take straight to the bank!"

I love the scene, but I don't quite get that joke. Anyone care to explain it? (Is it about how many girls lose their virginity in the back of a car?)

Oh my God it`s the dream of a lifetime.I have to go and watch you audition.

That will be enough of that for one day.No ones auditioning for anything.There will be no cutting school in this house.

But Mrs. Turnblad...

Penny,Go tell your mother she wants you...

She does?I better hurry...Bye Mrs. Turnblad,Bye Tracy...

Wilber comes in...

Hey Daddy ,tomorrow I`m auditioning to dance on a TV show...

You are going to have to go further then that to get around me young lady...Nobody is auditioning for anything.And what did I tell you about that hair?...Got it all ratted up like a teenage jezzebel (sp).

Oh mother you are so 50`s.Even our first lady Jackie B Kennedy rats her hair.

Well ...you aint no first lady are you...No,she`s a hair hopper.Is what she is.And it got her put in detention again...Wilber will you talk to her...Girl`s like Tracy...you know People like us...They don`t put people like us on television...Except to be laughed at....Thats about it...
