Francesca Marie Smith: Helga Pataki

Quotes 

• Helga : [after weasling out of paying a dinner bill]  There is no way I'm gonna go back in there, tell them the truth, and wind up washing dishes.

  [next frame] 

  Helga : I can't believe I told them the truth, and I wound up washing dishes.

• Phoebe : Well, I suppose the only solution would be to tell the manager the truth.

  [pause] 

  Helga : That is the stupidest idea I have ever heard in my entire life!

• Phoebe : Helga.

  Helga : Phoebe!

  Phoebe : I couldn't help but overhear what you were saying.

  Helga : Oh. That. I was just, uh, practicing for this, uh, play.

  Phoebe : I'm sorry, too, Helga. I suppose I should've considered your feelings before abandoning you.

  [crying] 

  Phoebe : Oh, Helga, it was awful! They took complete advantage of me. I feel so used. You were right. Going to the sixth grade was a stupid idea. I made a total fool out of myself. So, I've decided to go back to the fourth grade.

  Helga : Come on, Pheebs, just because it didn't work out doesn't mean it was stupid. It was smart. You're smart. I was the stupid one for thinking I could ever replace you.

  Phoebe : You mean it Helga?

  Helga : Of course, Phoebe. I mean, you're more than just my sidekick, you're my best friend.

  [they both smile] 

  Helga : I guess I forgot that.

  Phoebe : Thanks, Helga. You're my best friend, too.

• Helga : Sheena, what is this junk? Where's my burger? Where's my double chocolate milk with the two bendy straws?

  Sheena : But the health food plate is much more binding.

  Helga : I don't need binding, Sheena.

  Sheena : It's okay, Helga. I know all about your gastrointestinal disorder. What with your constant trips to the bathroom and all.

  Helga : That's it, Granola girl! You're dismissed! And take this health crap with you!
