Kat Stratford quotes from 10 Things I Hate About You

Kat

We're going to high school, not the Academy Awards.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

Kat, I need your help.

Kat

Finally. The first step is admitting you have a problem. The next step is making you a brunette again.

Kat

[after Walter suggests to Bianca to have a car wash for a fund raiser] Great idea, Dad! Half-naked cheerleaders, wet and soapy, standing on a street asking for money.

Dr. Walter Stratford

No car wash.

Daddy.

Dr. Walter Stratford

No car wash!

So you're not hoping to get a carnation? Not even a little tiny bit?

Kat

From who? Every guy here has the depth of an inflatable kiddy pool.

Kat

I just have one thing to say to you. I'm not that girl.

What girl?

Kat

The girl who's turned on by the spat boy crap. I'm not skipping home to scribble in my journal that maybe you're a vampire.

[to Kat] Looking for me.

Kat

Yes, if you were the ladies' room.

Kat

So, you snuck out of the house to go to a party, but you had the wrong address. How does that humiliation taste?

Like your stupid soy burgers.

Kat Stratford

[referring to Bianca] If she is your little flower, what am I?

Walter Stratford

You're my big, tough cactus!

Kat Stratford

Green, spiny and phallic. That's great, Dad.

When I go out, I have to file the flight plans with the FAA. But she gets to go out without questions asked?

Walter Stratford

[to Kat] Gonna drink?

Kat Stratford

No.

Walter Stratford

Drugs?

Kat Stratford

No.

Walter Stratford

Sex?

Kat Stratford

Gross.

Walter Stratford

[to Bianca] Satisfied?

I think I finally figured you out. Drop trash on me, drag we in a detention, steal my backpack; you're obsessed with me.

Kat

Hmm. What can I say? We and me in this sexy vests, picking up trash, this sweet scent of garbage in the air... Welcome to my dream date.

You can go.

Kat Stratford

No. no, no ,no. I'm not gonna go.

Because you're obsessed with me.

Walter

Why didn't you call me earlier?

Kat

This is a car, not a uterus.

Twenty says she quits by the end of the day.

Oh, come on if everyone bets against her, there's no point in having a pool.

Patrick?

Do you wanna bet on her?

Not while she's anywhere near power-tools.

Kat

I'll bet on myself.

Careful, that money could buy you a bunch of tampons.

Walter

Kat, I'm sure somewhere on the Internet, there's a manual on how to deliver a baby. But it doesn't mean you know your way around a uterus.

Kat

Why can't my dad just be an accountant?

Walter

So, what's distracting you from setting the table?

Kat

I'm turning my giant carbon footprint into a cute little baby foot - by converting my car into a biodiesel.

Walter

Huh, by yourself?

Kat

You think a woman can't do it?

Walter

Sure she can if she's a mechanic. You do realize that this is your only car and if you destroy it I'm not getting you another one.

Kat

Relax, Dad, I printed a comprehensive instruction manual off the Internet. It got nine out of ten stars.
