影片对白

　　Darcy: Bring on the tyros, the neophytes and the dilettanti.

　　Jan: SATs are over, Darcy.

　　Darcy: And you're still jealous of my score. Are we sure Carver's not malingering?

　　Torrance: Carver will strictly be cheering in Special Olympics until March. Nationals are February 10th. Regionals are in, like, four weeks. I talked to her.She's cool with this.

　　Courtney: Don't tell me Carver can cut school just because she broke her leg in three places. Hello! Get a wheelchair!

　　Whiteney: That lucky bitch.

　　Courtney: Tell me we're not actually continuing this masquerade and having tryouts. Let's cut the crap and pick somebody now. Whitney's little sister Jamie is really teeny. She'll be easy to toss, and she doesn't give lip.

　　Jan: Just tongue.

　　Whiteney: Kiss my ass, Jan.

　　Jan: I'd love to.

　　Torrance: If she's the best, Jamie's got it. But we have to see everyone.

　　SAT 学术能力评估考试

　　中文名称为“学术能力评估考试”，是由总部位于美国新泽西州普林斯顿市的美国教育考试服务中心（Educational Testing Service，简称ETS）举办的。SAT成绩是世界各国高中生申请美国名校学习及奖学金的重要参考，有点像我们的高考。

　　SAT （Scholastic Aptitude Test）, a multiple-choice exam, consisting of math and verbal components. Invented by Carl C. Brigham, the SAT was first administered experimentally to high school students in 1926. In 1934, Harvard University began using the exam as a means of selecting scholarship students. Following World War II, the SAT expanded, becoming part of the admissions process at universities and colleges throughout the country. Despite criticisms that it is biased against women, students of color, and students from low-income backgrounds, the SAT continued to thrive in the twenty-first century and was administered to more than two million students each year. In June 2002, significant changes to the exam were approved, including making the math section more difficult, the addition of an essay section, and an increase in the total possible score from 1600 to 2400. （US History Encyclopedia）
