Lelaina (Winona Ryder) sabotages Grant Gubler's ('John Mahoney') program by tampering with his cue cards. At the beginning of the film, when delivering her Valedictorian speech at the Graduation ceremony, she herself experiences some cue card trouble, the end of her speech has gone missing ("The answer is.... I don't know.")

Quotes
Lelaina Pierce: All right, fine. You wanna be in a band? Fine. Go ahead. Play every night. Play three times a night! Don't just dick around the same coffee house for five years. Don't dick around with her or with me. I mean, try at something for once in your life. Do something about it, but you know what? You better do it now, and you better do it fast, because the world doesn't owe you any favors.

Vickie Miner: I'm late for a jean-folding seminar. Let's locomote!

Vickie Miner: You don't understand. Every day, all day, it's all that I think about, OK? Every time I sneeze, it's like I'm four sneezes away from the hospice, and it's like it's not even happening to me. It's like I'm watching it on some crappy show like "Melrose Place" or some shit, right? And I'm the new character, I'm the HIV-AIDS character, and I live in the building and I teach everybody that it's OK to be near me, it's OK to talk to me, and then I die. And there's everybody at my funeral wearing halter tops or chokers or some shit like that.
