Do you eat ice cream?
Miss California Yes. My favorite is Cherry Chocolate Garcia, except technically I think it's a frozen yogurt.

Little Miss Sunshine quotes
Page 2 of 4 Miss California Grandpa, am I pretty?
Olive, you are the most beautiful girl in the whole world.
You're just saying that.
No! I'm madly in love with you and it's not because of your brains or your personality. It's because you're beautiful, inside and out.
Grandpa?
Yeah?
You're not a loser. Where'd you get the idea you're a loser?
Grandpa
Whoa whoa whoa, back up a minute. D'you know what a loser is? A real loser is someone who's so afraid of not winning, they don't even try. Now you're trying, right?
Well then you're not a loser! We're gonna have fun tomorrow, right?
We can tell 'em all to go to hell.
Hi, Uncle Frank!
Oh, hey, Olive. Wow, you're getting big, almost like a real person.
I practice everyday.
Well, then, good luck.
It's not about luck, Frank. Luck is the name losers give to their own failings. It's about wanting to win.
I'd like to dedicate this to my grandpa, who showed me these moves.
Pageant MC Aww, that is so sweet.
Pageant MC [Audience applauds]
Is he here? Where's your grandpa right now?
In the trunk of our car.
Mom? Dad?
Grandpa won't wake up.
Pageant Assistant Pam [Dwayne walks swiftly by]
Are you authorized to be backstage?

[outraged at Olive's talent act]
What is your daughter doing?
She's kickin' ass, that's what she's doing.
"We have to let Olive be Olive."
What happened?
I'll tell you when I regain consciousness.
[after being persuaded to go on the trip, Dwayne writes] [reading Dwayne's writing]
"Ok, but I'm not going to have any fun." Yeah, well, we're all with you on that one, Dwayne.
No, don't answer the question, Frank.
Richard...
Don't answer it. He's not going to answer the question.
I wanted to kill myself because I was very unhappy..
He's sick! He is a sick man! He's sick in his head!
Richard!
I'm sorry, I don't think it's an appropriate conversation for a seven year-old.
Well, she's going to find out anyway.
Okay.
Go on, Frank.
Why were you unhappy?
There were a lot of reasons, mainly though I fell in love with someone who didn't love me back.
Who?
One of my grad students. I was very much in love with him.
Him? It was a boy? You fell in love with a boy?
Yes, I did. Very much so.
That's silly.
Yes, you're right. It was very, very silly.
Dad.
So that's when you tried to kill yourself.
Well, no, the boy that I was in love with fell in love with another man. Larry Sugarman.
Who's Larry Sugarman?
Larry Sugarman is perhaps the second most highly regarded Proust scholar in the U.S.
Who's number one?
That would be me, Rich.
So that's when...
No, uh, what happened was I was a bit upset, so I said some things that I shouldn't have said and did some things that I shouldn't have done, and subsequently I was fired from my job and forced to move out of my apartment and into a motel.
[blows his nose]
And that's when you..'
Well, no. Actually, all of that was...okay, what happened was, two days ago the MacArthur Foundation, in its infinite wisdom, awarded a genius grant to Larry Sugarman. And that's when I...
Decided to check out early.
Yes. Yes. And I failed at that as well.
[Dwayne fetches Frank for dinner and, with sign language, instructs him to come]
What, dinner? What you don't talk anymore?
[Dwayne points to painting of Nietzsche]
Is that Nietzsche? You don't speak because of Friedrich Nietzsche?
[Dwayne writes "Please don't kill yourself tonight."]
Not on your watch. I wouldn't do that to you.
[Dwayne writes "Welcome to Hell."]
Thank you, Dwayne. Coming from you, that means a lot. Goodnight.
