"In a thong." "In a tasteful one-piece!" "You do a few butt-shaping exercises you could pull this off." "You know what?" "Pull this off." "Is it because McDonald hates me?" "Or is it, like, a woman thing?" "Don't kid yourself." "Nobody thinks of you that way." "He's punishing me, isn't he?" "I had to beg him to let you do this." "That's right."

"Yeah, baby." "So you're saying I have to wear the bathing suit?" "Yeah, you have to wear the bathing suit." "Okay." "You go, girl." "Where am I gonna put my gun?" "No place I want to know about." "What could possibly motivate anybody to enter a beauty pageant?" "Scholarship money, a chance to see the world broaden your horizons..." "So join the Marines." "It's like feminism never even happened." "Any woman that does this is catering to misogynistic Neanderthal mentality." "I dated Young Miss Scarsdale." "Can you really be this superficial?" "Hard to believe, right?" "Here we are." "ERIC:" "Therefore, we'd like to use one of our team undercover." "Am I hearing this correctly?" "Kathy, these people want to put one of their agents in the pageant." "They want her to win?" "No, ma'am."

"I fully intend on maintaining that credo." "ERIC:" "Absolutely, Miss Morningside." "We're here to protect the girls." "Women." "Scholarship ladies." "There's nothing more important to me than the safety of my girls." "I'd rather cancel the pageant than have them blown up." "Especially without their knowledge." "We went to the network to cancel, but they refused." "We can't force them." "I'm confused." "What state is she going to be from?" "All the winners have been chosen." "We recently discovered some information about Miss New Jersey." "And her performance in a little film called Arma Get It On." "Was that her?" "Oh, yeah!" "She was gonna drop out pretty soon, if you know what I mean." "Do you have an agent in mind?" "Sorry." "Let me get you Victor Melling's number." "Frank." "He's our pageant consultant." "Frank." "Maybe he can do something to help." "Frank!" "Oh!" "Just one minute." "This is my assistant, Frank Tobin." "Hi, everyone." "Would you get these people Victor's number, please?" "And get me a spring water." "And tuck in your shirt." "That, that was... a water for you and..." "Victor Melling's number." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Mr. Melling." "How are you?" "If you are Grace Hart, I quit here and now." "I'm having a bad hair day." "Bad hair decade, really." "I'm Eric Matthews." "We spoke." "Your hair is perfect." "However, I can't accept this job." "There's no way I can make this woman ready in two days." "Please, Mr. Melling, give it a chance." "Sit down." "Have lunch." "Totally on the Bureau." "I suppose that would be the civilized thing to do." "I'll take a rain check." "I got to take care of some FBI stuff." "That thing I told you about that I gotta do." "But I'll see you later."

"So, how long have you been doing this pageant-training thing?" "I'm sorry?" "What was the question?" "I was distracted by a half-masticated cow rolling around in your wide-open trap." "Excuse me?" "What is your problem?" " Problem?" " Yeah." "I mean, yes." "Have I offended you in some way?" "You've been completely antagonistic to me from the second I walked in." "I was once the most sought-after, highly paid consultant in pageant history." "I had no idea." "Every season, girls would plead with me to train them." "Ten out of 11 years my girls were crowned." "The year we lost, the winner was a deaf-mute." "You can't beat that." "Then in '96 my girl froze like a puddle halfway through her aria from La Bohème." "Afterwards, she told a reporter from Pageant Magazine that I was a perfectionist who had harangued her to within an inch of her sanity." "Of course, after that article came out nobody wanted me." "Okay." "With all due respect here why did Miss Morningside suggest you?" "Because I am the best." "Or perhaps it's because everyone else worth having had a contestant." "They had their Southern belles, their Midwestern farmers' daughters." "Spunky Western cowgirls." "And I have..." "[CRYSTAL HUMS] ...Dirty Harriet." "Will you desist?" "Yeah." "Yes." "Oh, my God."

"Don't look down, look up." "Your chin should be parallel to the floor." "Now glide." "Glide." "It's not the bloody Ice Capades." "Gliding." "No, no." "Don't pick your feet up." "Don't pick your feet up." "Why are you picking your feet up?" "Because I'm preparing to run away." " No, wait." "Wait." " What?" "Watch me." "Glide." "Glide." "See?" "Glide." "It's all in the buttocks." "Don't I look pretty?" "It takes a very secure man to walk like that." "Roll your hips." "Head up, head up." "Keep gliding..." "I'm gliding here!"

"Where do we start?" "Teeth, hair, manicure, pedicure." "Which one first?" "What are you gonna do to my teeth?" "VICTOR:" "Hopefully, remove the beer stains and steak residue."

" Hold on, we're checking it out." "Guys." "Guys, he has a gun." "He has a gun." "HART:" "Who's got the 20 on the shooter?" "I'm taking him out." "Wait for a visual!" "Gun!" "Gun!" "Everybody down!" "Better up to them, don't you think?" "NEWSCASTER:" "In a bizarre incident at the Miss United States Preliminaries the contestant from New Jersey leapt off-stage and tackled a man in the crowd who was trying to light a cigarette." "She's here with me right now." "What were you thinking when you jumped off the stage?" "All the contestants are actively involved in ending tobacco dependence." "I think the gentleman will think twice before he lights up again." "I'm sure we all will." " Look, he had a gun." " Of course." "This is Texas, everyone has a gun." "My florist has a gun." "I don't have a gun." "My ancestors were Quakers." "Stan, please!" "We assume any man with a weapon is a suspect." "We got the DNA results." "The envelope from the Citizen was licked by a woman." "There's never been DNA before." "He slipped up, or I should say "she."" "This is preposterous." "You people are completely clueless." "If I ran my pageant like this, we'd be holding it in someone's basement!" "Every operation is bound to have its screwups." "As far as I can see, she's still with us." "Oh, God!" "Could I have a moment alone with Miss Hart, please?" "Sure." "Just for a tiny minute." "We'll just be a moment." "Shop talk." "Hair, gel, mousse." "Look, I know I made a mistake." "I'm sorry." "I've been fighting all my life against your type." "The ones who think we're a bunch of worthless airheads." "You know who I mean." "Feminists intellectuals ugly women." "I refuse to give in to their cynicism." "That's why I have dedicated my entire life to this scholarship." "No one's going to ruin that." "Not this year." "You get in my way, I will kill you." "Do you understand?" "Yeah." " Yes!" " Yes." "KATHY:" "Frank!" "The interview is the single most important part of the pageant." "It accounts for 30% of your total score." "What's the other 70%, cleavage?" "Is this your idea of doing final preps on the convention center?" "Look." "Liberace's got her in a nice evening gown." "McDonald called." "He saw Hart's anti- smoking commercial." "He's on his way." "Good, perfect." "I'd hate for him to fire me over the phone." "I can't believe this!" "It'll be ugly." "No shit." "I gotta do something."

"I don't appreciate your immaturity when I'm working as hard as I am." "What's the big deal?" "It's fixed, I'm in the top five." "Congratulations to me." "Is that enough?" "Have you no pride in yourself, in your presentation?" "I'm an FBI agent, right?" "I'm not a performing monkey in heels." "You're also a person, and an incomplete one at that!" "In place of friends and relationships, you have sarcasm and a gun." "Oh, I have sarcasm?" "When every word that comes out of your mouth is dripping with disdain?" "That is because I am a miserable, grumpy elitist, and that works for me." "I don't have relationships because I don't want them." "And I don't have friends because I work 24-7." "And you have no idea why I am the way that I am." "As we're practicing interviews, why are you the way you are?" "None of your damn business." "The judges probably have never heard that before." "We have more to do here." "No, we are finished." "Finished." " Give me a 20 on Matthews." " Be advised he's at the pool." ""How do you feel about gun control?"" "Favorable." "Thought I'd let you know I was quitting." "Take care." "Hold on." "Wait a minute." " What do you mean?" " I mean, you got the wrong girl." "All right?" "I do not need this now." "That's what I'm saying!" "I'm totally screwing up in there!" "I don't feel like a real agent anymore." "I mean, Vic says this thing that's so..." "I don't care what he said, you know?" "I don't care." "Because I am the job and I'm okay with that." "You're the job?" "Yeah, I'm the job." "We're all the job." "Then what's wrong with me?" "I date." "I know everyone thinks I haven't had a date in 10 years." "Is that what you think?" "I think you date." "Damn right I do." "But both times it was screwed up." "I don't even care." "All I want to do is my job." "For the last three days I feel like I'm completely lost." "I've been waiting five years to run my own op." " Would I blow it on the wrong girl?" " You picked me because I looked good and wasn't on maternity leave." "No, that's why they let me pick you." "Know why?" " Lost a bet." " You're smart and funny and you're easy to talk to when you're unarmed." "Give yourself a break and cut Vic some slack." "Because if they see what I see, then they'll love you." "So, what do you say?" "I won't let you down." "Good, that's what I want to hear." "In all honesty, I might let you down." "But I'll try my best not to." "Do not mess with the dress." "Oh, Vic is gonna kill you." "You in big trouble." "Why?" "You fell." " You look good wet." " Shut up!" "Whoa, guys, Hart's in the dressing room." "Come on." "HARRIS:" "You see the legs on that girl?" "CLONSKY:" "Who's your daddy?" "Those better be candy dishes!" "Turn around." "Open." "This guy's like an inch from death!" "AGENT:" "But what a way to go!"

"You think the judges will look that closely?" "It's for the baggies under your eyes." "Really?" "Good, hair spray." "Finally something I recognize." "What are you doing?" "It stops the suit from riding up." "Riding up where?" "Just up!" "That's enough!" "Why do you make things hard?" "I can see this is an incredibly embarrassing situation for you."

"I would have to say, world peace." "Definitely, world peace." "That's easy." "World peace." "World peace." "What is the one most important thing our society needs?" "That would be harsher punishment for parole violators, Stan." "And, world peace." "Thank you, Gracie Lou." "And thank you, Stan." "Cheryl Frasier from Rhode Island." "That was charming." "Are you drunk?" "Glad you enjoyed it." "Now excuse me, I have to go unscrew my smile." "We got a lead." " The blood test?" " Photos." "Cheryl Frasier, with members of a radical animal rights group involved in bombings." "VIC:" "It's always the quiet ones." "She fits the profile:" "Loner, introverted." "That Cheryl?" "Describe your perfect date." "That's a tough one." "I'd have to say April 25th because it's not too hot, not too cold." "All you need is a light jacket." "Now, there is a hardened criminal." "Maybe she's an accomplice." "Maybe she's his inside connection." "That's what you gotta find out." "How?" "Buddy up to her, you know, girl talk." " Girl talk?" " Yes, girl talk." "Sorry, I'm totally drawing a blank." "Leg waxing, fake orgasms, the inability of men to commit." "Why don't you talk to her?" "Lmagine she's me and you want to know, but I don't want to talk about it." "What would you do?" "You want me to beat her?" "Why don't you talk to her?" "Okay, forget about it." "I will go." "Put that back in your ear." "I can't talk girl talk with a guy in my head." "I can't even do it with me in my head." "Girl talk." "Oh, my God!" "Hey, Rhode Island, how you doing?" "How can you ask that?" "You heard my interview." "I was like a female Rain Man." "Oh, no, it def-def-definitely wasn't Rain Man." "Definitely not Rain Man." "Come and have a midnight snack with me and some girl talk." "Are you crazy?" "We can't have pizza and beer!" "Do you know how many calories you're talking about?" "It's light beer and she's gonna throw it up anyway." "Come on." "Come with." "No?" "No takers?" "No?" "All right, I'll just sit here." "You guys go back on your bicycles and I'll sit here with my very large, cheesy pizza." "Oh, look at all that cheese." "Mmm, mm, mm." "Cheryl, don't." "At least scrape off the toppings." "First step, pizza." "Second step, flaming batons..." "[MOANING]" "ALANA:" "Let me have some." "Oh, yeah." "I guess we'll be needing more pizza." "[DANCE MUSIC PLAYS]" " I want another drink!"

"Like when I did my interview question." "Don't worry, we all sucked." "You know, I had such a good answer to that question too." "My idea of a perfect date would be a man who takes me to a romantic dinner." "Then we walk along the beach barefoot, discussing books and music and movies!" "Aw." "No wonder you're still a virgin." "Time to paint." "Come on." "No, my contacts." "[SPEAKS IN SPANISH]" " We'll stay here." " I want more pizza." "We're gonna have more pizza and beer." "Have fun!" " This is so much fun." " Yeah, it's fun." "It's so fun it should be illegal." "Speaking of illegal, have you ever, like..." "Yes!" "Yes, I did." "Go on." "One time I stole red underwear from the department store." "My mother wouldn't buy them!" "She said they were Satan's panties." " So is that it?" " Yeah." "Oh, there was this one thing in college with my lit professor." "One day I came to his office." "He said he wanted to discuss a paper I wrote." "He wanted to discuss a paper, right?" "Hey, can I get another one of these tubie things?" "Yeah, can we get another tubie?" "Anyway, he attacked me." "Cheryl, did you report him?" "No, I never told anyone before this." "I know that happens all the time." "No, it doesn't!" "Cheryl, it doesn't." "There are so many maneuvers that I could show you." "Really?" "Yeah!" "Come on, get up." "I want you to firmly plant your feet." "I'm gonna move the chair." "Now if someone comes at you..." "She's completely trashed." "We should get her back before Miss Morningside finds out." "Kathy's got a boot up her ass about something." "I don't think she ever got over those rumors." "Come again?" "Her pageant years she was a runner-up." "But then the winner mysteriously got food poisoning." "Bizarro!" "No, Stan told me she got a letter a few weeks back from the network and they're firing her too!" "She threw a chair out the window!" "We gotta go." "Come on." "I got 20 people here waiting for confirmation." "Don't tell me I don't understand." "I hate when I don't see a wet paint sign." "Stop it." "Listen." " Can't hear you, took out my earpiece." " I have a lead and it's not Cheryl." "Forget it." "They bagged the Citizen." "What?" "Where?" "It's confirmed." "He was holing up in a shack in Nevada." "Place had enough C4 to make a new Grand Canyon." "Let's pack up and get out of here." "Sir, I need to talk to you." "One second of your time." " Hart." " Hear me out a second." "I feel the situation bears further scrutiny and our continued presence." "Do you have paint in your ears?" "We caught the guy!" "I respect what you're saying." "I'd say the same to me but what if we were wrong?" "What if the Citizen didn't send it?" "What if it was a copycat?" "The letter didn't follow the normal pattern." "The linguistic scheme was uncharacteristic and the DNA said it was a woman!" "Maybe he got his girlfriend to lick the envelope." "I think we have reason to monitor Morningside." "Why don't you jump on her dressed like a Bavarian fruitcake?" "You're the reason I had to drag myself down here and I don't want to hear anymore!" "You're absolutely right, sir." "Not another damn word." "Thank you." "But she's getting fired this year, which she didn't tell us." "You're already in enough trouble with the review board." "Yeah, but when she was in the pageant, the only reason she won was because the winner got food poisoning." "How bizarro is that?" " "Bizarro"?" " Oh!" "Oh!" "She threatened me." "According to Mary Jo, she has a history of violence." "Who is Mary Jo?" "Are you getting your information from a pajama party?" "Would you shut up?" "You're shutting up enough for both of us." " Matthews." " Yes, sir?" "Is there any reason to suspect Morningside?" "No, sir." "There." "I request permission to stay with a small contingent." " Denied." " Then I request permission to stay alone." "You know what, I don't care what you do." "You want to stay, stay!" "But as a private citizen." "Turn in your badge and your gun." "Everybody, I suggest we start packing." "What?" "Don't look at me like I betrayed you." "Betrayal implies action." "You stood there." "You got nothing to go on." "I know everyone thinks I'm a screwup." "But I feel like I'm in the right place at the right time." "I have to protect those girls." "It is my job." "Part of it is following orders." "The other part is using your brain." "Throw out the rule book..." "I like the book." "I like knowing what I can and cannot do." "You're not the only one who lives for the job." "I want to keep mine for the next 20 or 30 years." "Jesus, Hart." "Give it a rest." "Sure, give it a rest." "What are you doing?" "Don't do it." "[CLAPPING]" "Thank you." "Thank you so much." "I can't believe it!" "Hi, Mom." "Don't do that!" "That slow, creepy thing in the shadows." "Your father used to do that." "Mom." "This isn't gonna work." "Honey, of course it's going to work." "The feds caught the Citizen." "We have no one to pin it on!" "Okay, that was bad luck." "But what about all these other letters from terrorist groups threatening us?" ""Women's Liberation Front."" ""Islamic Jihad." They're not so nuts about the swimsuit competition." "Any one of these could have planted a bomb." "When did we get those?" "I just finished writing them." "Just like the Citizen letter." "You're a genius." "No, Frank." "I'm just pissed off." "Nobody fires me and gets away with it." "They want a newer, hotter show they're gonna get it." "Mom, you're a little scary." "And you're a little bit sloppy." "Tuck your shirt." "I don't want to tell you again." "Let's go home, honey." "Mom?" "Oops." "What's up?" " Need a hand, boss?" " I got it." "Okay, Vic." "Beautify me." "Hair, makeup, shellac, whatever it is you do." "That shiny stuff..." "Where are you going?" "Your Agent McDonald insists that I depart, or I won't be compensated." "No." "After the top 10!" "I am completely on my own." "The FBI is gone, it's not fixed." "I need you!" "Not anymore." "The cocoon is open." "I've taken a woman without a smidgen of estrogen and made her a lady." " Come on." " I've never been prouder of myself." "Or of any girl I have ever coached." "You are truly unique." "If I ever had a daughter, I imagine that she would be something like you." "Which is why I never reproduced." "I have a really strong feeling something will happen to these girls." "You need to stay for me." "Please." "I can't." "But I can leave you this." "I was saving it for tonight." "It's your size, I believe." "Good luck to you, Gracie Lou." "It's been a privilege." "No insults today?" "You're a Don Ho." "Has anyone seen Gracie?" "I can't believe she missed dress rehearsal." "Maybe she couldn't take the pressure." "She ate four slices last night." "We all saw her glasses performance." "She is not making the top 10." "I overslept my beauty sleep." " Do you need help?" " No, I'm fine." "I wonder which one of these is lipstick." "Ladies!" "Now, the first thing we need to deal with..." "[TALKING SIMULTANEOUSLY]" "Good luck, ladies!" "Keep it moving." "Let's go!" "Looking good, ladies." "Will you go back to the mothership?" "As long as you go with me, Tex-Ass." "Let's go, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Texas..." "I can't open the goddamn bottle." "Frank!" "SCOTT:" "Have a good show." "You guys excited?" "Get it." "Where are you going?" "I forgot my breasts." "Hold on, I'll be back." "Going live." "In five, four, three..." "It's the 75th Annual Miss United States Pageant live from San Antonio, Texas!" "[BOSSON'S "ONE IN A MILLION" PLAYS]" "Good." "That's the one I use at home." "And your host for the evening, Stan Fields!" "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!" "And welcome to a night of beauty, talent and poise." "I'm not just talking about my cohost Kathy Morningside!" " Hello, Kathy." " Stan, you charmer." "But you forgot to mention "incredible intelligence."" "That was incredibly stupid of me." "How can I make it up?" "By helping me to announce the top 10 chosen based on their performance during the preliminaries this week." "Here's the envelope." "Thank you, Scott." "Ladies, hold your breath." "Hawaii!" "Follow her." "Beautiful." "Come in for that reaction." " Go to two." " Going to two." "California!" "New York!" "Alaska!" "Texas!" "Thank you." "New Jersey!" "Thank you, thank you." "Oh, shit!" "That was graceful." "STAN:" "That must have hurt." "But she's up and at it." "And last but not least, Rhode Island." "And there they are!" "This year's top 10 finalists." "Well, the top 10 have been chosen." "We'll be right back with tonight's swimsuit competition." "I checked out Kathy Morningside." " Anything?" " Not even a traffic ticket." "Model citizen." "Beauty contestant, pageant director, loving mom." " She's married?" " Widow." "One son." "A sniveling, obsequious weasel of a human being." " You know her son?" " So do you." "It's Frank." " Her assistant?" " Asshole Frank?" "One and the same." "She never mentioned anything." "Anything come up on the CCH?" "Nothing on Frank Tobin." "There wouldn't be." "His name is Morningside." "He changed it to cover his many indiscretions." "Wait." "How do you know that?" "I've been around this pageant for many years." "I could shock you with the intimate details I'm privy to." "Good job!" "Good job" "Keep going, everybody." "Keep moving." "Hey, hey." "I got you something." "Oh!" "Oh." "I couldn't..." "You ate pizza, you stole panties, you're wild." "We worked on this, remember?" "You're gonna be great." " Can I see your ticket?" " Federal officer." "I'm with him." "[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS]" "Gentlemen, you can't go in..." "Victor!" "He's with me." "Wait." "I'm not "with him" with him." "Come on, muffin." "Thank you!" "She certainly lit my fire." "Now you can wear Satan's panties!" "Oh, my God, I gotta go on!" " Hey, Hart." " What are you doing here?" "I think you might have been right." "Frank is Kathy Morningside's son." "Disgusting, perverted Frank?" "He cleared under another name." "I ran a new CCH." "DUI, assault, even a weapons charge." "Are we doing full deployment?" "McDonald didn't want to hear about it." "It's just us." "Interview set change, five minutes." "Good show, Mr. Tobin." "Get ready." "Interview set change, five minutes." "You're up next, New Jersey." "I gotta get my glasses." "Hey!" "You're drinking my talent!" "You got to make it into the top five." " Can you whistle?" " No!" " Make hand puppets?" " No!" "I had a girl who rearranged furniture." "You said all I have is sarcasm and a gun." "That and a right hook." "And now, the musical stylings of Gracie Lou Freebush." "Good evening." "The program says I'm supposed to play the water glasses for you but the girls got dehydrated." "No water glasses?" "You want me to go to a commercial?" "No, stay on her." "Go with it." "I believe no woman should be without a basic knowledge of self-defense." "So in order to show you this, I'm gonna need a little help." "I would like to bring out my assistant, Eric Bob." "More changes?" "Follow her." "Stay on her." " How to inflict damage with the least amount of force." "In some cases, your attacker might come at you in a frontal assault." "Use the heel of your hand and thrust." "This will cause the nose to break and your assailant's eyes to tear giving you a chance to get away." "All right." "Let's say your assailant comes at you from behind." "Attack me!" "Oh." "Little Eric looks a little scared." "Maybe he needs a little applause." "Yeah!" "Eric!" "She's kicking his ass!" "LESLIE:" "You were the best queen ever." "Thank you, that is so sweet." "Ladies, give Lori some room to breathe." "Go on, now." "You need some powder." "You don't have to hold the crown all night." "My God, that is disgraceful." "Frank!" "Take this to the prop master." "See if you can't get it to shine." "If all else fails, go for the four sensitive areas of the body." "But just remember to "sing."" "S-l-N-G." "Solar plexus, instep nose, groin!" "SING." "Cue Stan." "Whoa." "Welcome to the Garden State!" "When we return, we'll find out who those lucky final five are." "Let's go find Frank." "Take left." "I'll take this side." "No, evening gown." "Now." "STAN:" "Ladies!" "In one moment, five of you will be one step closer to the crown." "And one of those five is California!" "Leslie Williams is a music major." "She believes in the healing power of music." "Loves opera, reggae and, like any true California girl, the Beach Boys." "Rhode Island!" "Cheryl Frasier is a science major." "Her field is nuclear fission with a minor in elementary particles." "STAN:" "Nebraska!" "For Kelly Beth Kelly, all the world is a stage."

"KATHY:" "Her hobbies include figure skating, water ballet and taking long, luxurious bubble baths." "You go, Gracie Lou." "And our fifth finalist:" "Texas!" "Mary Jo Wright is a psychology major." "In her spare time, she works in a homeless shelter and eats Mexican food." "Thank you, ladies." "You were magnificent." "I want all the lesbians to know if I can make it to the top 10, so can you!" "Big out to Brooklyn!" "Yo!" "Get her off of there!" "Go to Stan!" "Tina, I love you, baby!" "I love you, Karen!" "Whoo!" "Yeah!" "And we'll be right back with our final five lesbians." "Interviews." "Bumper." "Commercial." "Can we say "lesbians"?" "You got a problem with that?" "In a way, America is like a big ship." "When we work together and respect each other that's when the ship gets safely home." "Terrific answer." "Damn it." "New Jersey." "As you may know, there are many who consider the Miss United States pageant to be outdated and antifeminist." "What would you say to them?" "Oh, my God." "I would have to say, I used to be one of them." "And then I came here and I realized that these women are smart, terrific people who are just trying to make a difference in the world." "We've become really good friends." "I know we all secretly hope the other one will trip and fall on her face..." "Wait a minute!" "I've already done that!" "For me, this experience has been one of the most rewarding and liberating experiences of my life." "My God." "I did it." "And if anyone anyone tries to hurt one of my new friends I would take them out." "I would make them suffer so much, they'd wish they were never born." "And if they ran, I would hunt them down." "Thank you, Kathy." "A brief, shining moment, and then that mouth." "Helps if you pull it out." "Good luck, ladies." "Where's the crown?" "I wanted to rub it for luck." "Frank took it to get it polished." "I'll have it by the time they announce the winner." "My God!" "It's the crown!" "Yes, it is." "You can taste it now..." "No, no, no!" "It goes Texas, Rhode Island and New Jersey." "Let's go." "Not the..." "This." "In the..." "SCOTT:" "Finale positions." "Yes." "Wear the crown." "Be the crown." "You are the crown." "And now, the moment of truth and beauty." "STAN:" "The envelope, please." "What?" "A lot of tension." "The fourth runner-up is California!" "KATHY:" "The third runner-up is Nebraska!" " Am I in danger here?" " Wait here." "STAN:" "The second runner-up is Texas!" "Drop it!" "I mean it!" "Drop it!" "This is it." "The moment." "One of these two ladies will wear the crown." "Listen to me!" "I'm gonna reach for my badge, slow." "You do, and you're dead." "STAN:" "The first runner-up who will have to take the winner's place if, for any reason she cannot fulfill her duties is:" "New Jersey!" "Which means our new Miss United States is:" "Don't take the crown." "Rhode Island's Cheryl Frasier!" " Don't take the crown." "Trust me." " I can't hear you." "What?"

"Hold your crown up high" "She's Miss United States." "Okay." "Good show, everybody." " I was right in the middle of my song!" " There she is!" "You got nothing on me." "This is ridiculous." "Where you're going, they'd love to meet a former beauty queen." "When he says meet, he means M-E-A-T." "Miss Hart, you don't understand." "All I'm guilty of is trying to make the world a more beautiful place." "Look at yourself." "When I met you, Dennis Rodman looked better in a dress." "But now you're a lady!" "I did that." "Vic did that, and a team of highly specialized federal manicurists and people who make you beautiful." "Get in the car." "You think you saved something." "All you did was to destroy the dream of young women all over the country." "Their dream is to get blown up?" "You got a good shot at that insanity plea." "I earned it!" "Years of bitching beauty queens and what do I get?" "Fired!" "They steal my life, they steal my beauty pageant." "Hey!" "It is not a beauty pageant." "It is a scholarship program." "Yeah, yeah." ""Yes."" "Enjoy running the Miss San Antonio Women's Correctional Facility Pageant!" " Get it?" "The Women's Correctional..." " Hey." "That was good work." "Right back at you."

"I was thinking when we get back after we write up our reports and you get all ugly again maybe we could have dinner?" "What?" "You asking me out on a date?" "No." "Just a casual dinner." "If we happen to have sex afterwards, so be it." "You think I'm gorgeous." "You want to date me love me and marry me." "ERIC:" "A part of you is gonna miss this." "The heels." "They do something for my posture." "I'm suddenly very aware and proud of my breasts." " Funny, me too." " Agent Matthews!" "Gracie!" "Thank God you're still here." "There's been an emergency."

"Ladies and gentlemen, agent Gracie Hart of the FBI!" "Not so fast!" "Because even though you're a federal officer to us, you will always be Gracie Lou Freebush." "The nicest, sweetest, coolest girl at the pageant and this year's Miss Congeniality!" "I, uh..." "I don't know what to say." "Except for I can't wear this at work." "I never thought anything like this would happen to me." "I kind of hoped it wouldn't." "But now that it has I just want to say that I'm very very honored." "And moved." "And truly touched." "And I really do want world peace." "[ENGLISH SDH]"
