Synopsis: Her parents being zoologists, homeschooled Cady Heron lived in Africa for 15 years. Attending a Chicago public high school for the first time, she starts out by befriending the "best people you will meet", Janis, a supposedly lesbian girl; and Damian, a boy "too gay to function". Cady is warned to avoid the "worst people you will ever meet", the Plastics--a clique comprised of three girls: Gretchen Wieners, a girl who's rich because her father invented toaster strudel; Karen Smith, the "dumbest girl you will ever meet"; and Regina George, the unofficial leader and the meanest one. She becomes a hit with the Plastics and eventually assimilates into the clique, only for Janis to ask her sabotage them. After conflicts involving Regina's ex-boyfriend, Aaron Samuels, Cady later becomes tied between being part of them or sabotaging them. Whilst eventually becoming one, she sabotages them.

of the rest of the group.

Well, I mean, you wouldn't buy a skirt

without asking your friends first

- if it looks good on you.

- I wouldn't?

Right.

Oh, and it's the same with guys.

Like, you may think you like someone,

but you could be wrong.

A hundred and twenty calories and 48

calories from fat. What percent is that?

Forty-eight into 120?

I'm only eating foods with less than

It's 40 percent.

Well, 48 over 120

equals X over 100,

and then you cross-multiply

and get the value of X.

Whatever. I'm getting cheese fries.

So have you seen any guys

that you think are cute yet?

Well, there's this guy

in my calculus class...

- Who is it?

- It's a senior?

- His name's Aaron Samuels.

- No!

Oh, no, you can't like Aaron Samuels.

That's Regina's ex-boyfriend.

They went out for a year.

Yeah, and then she was devastated

when he broke up

with her last summer.

I thought she dumped him

for Shane Oman.

OK, irregardless. Ex-boyfriends

are just off-limits to friends.

I mean, that's just, like,

the rules of feminism.

Don't worry. I'll never tell Regina

what you said.

It'll be our little secret.

We define the sum

of the infinite geometric series...

Even though I wasn't

allowed to like Aaron,

I was still allowed to look at him.

And think about him.

And talk to him.

- Hey, Aar...

- Hey, you're the Africa girl, right?

- Yeah.

- I'm Kevin Gnapoor,

captain of the North Shore Mathletes.

We participate in math challenges

against other high schools in the state,

and we can get twice as much funding

if we've got a girl.

So you should think about joining.

- Oh, you'd be perfect for it.

- Yeah, definitely.

Great, great.

Let me give you my card.

OK, so think it over.

Because we'd like to get jackets.

OK.

Hey!

Get in, loser. We're going shopping.

Regina's like the barbie doll

I never had.

I'd never seen anybody

so glamorous.

- So how do you like North Shore?

- It's good.

I think I'm joining the Mathletes.

- No! No, no.

- No, no.

You cannot do that.

That is social suicide.

Damn, you are so lucky

you have us to guide you.

Being at Old Orchard Mall kind of

reminded me of being home in Africa.

By the watering hole.

When the animals are in heat.

Oh, my God, there's Jason!

Where? Oh, there he is.

- And he's with Taylor Wedell.

- I heard they're going out.

Wait. Jason's not going out

with Taylor.

No. He cannot blow you off like that.

He's such a little skeez.

Give me your phone.

- You're not gonna call him, right?

- Do you think I'm an idiot?

No.

- Wedell on South Boulevard.

- Caller ID.

Not when you connect

from Information.

- Hello?

- Hello.

May I please speak

to Taylor Wedell?

She's not home yet. Who's calling?
