Bob Quimby: Yeah.

Beezus: He doesn't do that anymore!

Bob Quimby: Ooh, if I didn't know better, I'd say somebody's got a crush.

Beezus: [Fixing Ramona's hair with a curling iron] Sure, you'd make a great frog.

Ramona Quimby: Hey!

Beezus: Who could ever love someone named Beezus?

Ramona Quimby: Jesus?

[first lines]

Ramona Quimby: My name is Ramona Q. I'm nine and three months, and no matter what my sister Beezus tells you: I'm not a pest. My dad says I just having overactive imagination, which does come in handy. It makes the fun parts funner and the scary parts scarier. And frankly, it's good to scare yourself once in a while. Because if you can't be brave at recess, how can you do it what it really counts?
