Movie Quote Quiz

NYC Nurse: What do you want us to do? She's drunk.

Julie Steffans: Some people aren't built happy, you know.

Larry McPherson: You're not gonna get in a car with a guy that honks, are ya?

Christine 'Lady Bird' McPherson: I hate California, I want to go to the east coast. I want to go where culture is like, New York, or Connecticut or New Hampshire.

Julie Steffans: Some people aren't built happy, you know.

Sister Sarah Joan: Six inches for the Holy Spirit.

Marion McPherson: Money is not life's report card. Being successful doesn't mean anything in and of itself. It just means that you're successful. But that doesn't mean that you're happy.

Other mistake: Lady Bird isn't finished talking about the present when the camera switches to the boy but in that shot her mouth isn't moving. Plus, right before that half her face is blocked out which sort of hides her realization face reaction. (00:17:05)

Trivia: At one point, this was mathematically the best-reviewed film of all time on Rotten Tomatoes, briefly surpassing the honor held by Toy Story 2.
