Quotes 

• Destiny : [cheer-conference]  Are you guys gonna tell me what's going on, or do you expect me to guess?

  Willow : What are we gonna do about being cheersmacked?

  Destiny : [scoffs]  Nothing. It was a prank. A practical joke. We can't take it seriously. People have probably already forgotten about it.

  Roxanne : I don't think so.

  Hannah : Mm-hmm. My IG followers are way down today. And people have always wanted my pics. I mean, especially since I've started taking butt selfies.

  Destiny : Yeah, my followers were down too. But that happens, right?

  Willow : No. It's because we're under a viral assault.

• Destiny : So what? A few teams challenged us. That happens, like, on a daily.

  Willow : Uh, no, there are dozens.

  Hannah : Yeah, we're cheer chum in the water, and there's a feeding frenzy.

  Destiny : It's not that bad.

  Willow : Don't act like you're not sweating through your sports bra over this. Destiny, we need to shake things up. Draw out our old routines and start fresh.

  Destiny : Okay, first of all, I don't sweat, I glisten. And we're not gonna throw out all of our *winning* routines just because some team challenged us, Willow.

  Willow : Look, we've been doing a version of the same stuff for years.

  Destiny : I'm the one who led us to number one. So why would I want anything to change?

  Willow : For starters, we lost four of our boys.

  Destiny : What?

  Willow : Destiny, we're sinking. And the boys are jumping ship.

  Destiny : Like rats who will drown without me.

  Willow : We're all gonna drown if we don't do something.

  Destiny : It's simple! We'll replace the boys we lost.

  Willow : The season's started. All the good ones are already taken.

  Destiny : Who would turn down an opportunity to cheer with me? That's cheerdiculous.

  Hannah : Why do we even need stinky groin-scratching, and not to mention... finger-slipping... boys?

  Destiny : Let's not pretend Lesbionic Lisa and Big Tina hasn't slipped a digit or two.

  [culprits smile] 

  Hannah : I lost my virginity that way.

  Destiny : [perturbed by this:]  Okay. We're not thinking about boys in the right way. We are the main outfits. The boys are just the accessories. They make us look better, like... glitter pom-poms or... metallic gloss. Could we stop talking about boys?

  Willow : That's not the problem. We're doing the same old routines.

• Destiny : That's it. We're taking them down.

  Willow : Wait. We're accepting the challenge? Did you not hear them? We're taking on the whole freaking cheer world.

  Hannah : Yeah, that sounds like a lot to me. I mean, I've never even left the country. Well, except to go to Hawaii.

  Roxanne : And we're not ready.

  Destiny : So we'll fake it. Hannah, you do it all the time. You give the best facials on the squad.

  Hannah : Well, yeah, Mom says it's good practice for when I get married.

  Destiny : [ignores that]  Okay, Willow, get your camera, we're going to the gym. I want you to film the best parts of our routine to post.

  Willow : The new boys are still learning on the team.

  Destiny : It's fifteen seconds. Who can't shine in fifteen seconds?

• Willow : I can't believe we're about to cheer in a parking lot.

  Destiny : Look, I know this isn't perfect. But I'm not about to get humiliated twice in one day. So perform your little well-toned asses off.

  Roxanne : Don't we always?

  Hannah : We've got this, Destiny. We're champions, they're rookies.

• Destiny : Don't you see what The Truth is trying to do? They're trying to get inside our heads!

  Hannah : [scoffs]  Guys are always trying to get into my pants and now I have to worry about them getting into my head, too?

• Raiders team : [whispering]  Cheerlebrity... ah cheerlebrity...

  Destiny : I'm Destiny / I'm hot / my moves will make you trot / that's Roxanne / she's bad / she's sexy and she's rad / there's Hannah and Willow / they'll make you bite your pillow / I fly so high / I dance, I make you cry / this body, this too / y'all holler back...

  Raiders team : Yoo hoo!

  Destiny : My girls / we're fierce / our nose and

  [bleep] 

  Destiny : are pierced / we're hot, we're cool / watch all the fellas drool / hey, boys, watch this / you wanna see us kiss? / a squad, so good / just watch / oh, hell no, is that wood?

  [touches boy] 

  Raiders team : [all together]  Let's go / unite / you know our moves are tight / we are the best / from East Coast to the West / sit back / relax / and watch as you climax / to our routine / you know we'll be the king...

• Willow : [re their basic routines]  I just feel that we're doing this to win championships, to get the judges' approval, and not because we love it, that's all.

  Destiny : Yeah, all I heard was "win championships."

• Destiny : [to picture of Vivica A. Fox inside locker]  Cheer Goddess, grant me the strength I need to deal with the nasty comments and the embarrassment. I've learned from your teachings to lead by example. Still, you and I both know the Rebels would be nothing without me. And that's not me being conceited.

  [shakes her head] 

  Destiny : I'm just a natural born leader, like Jesus with a high pony.

• Blake : [before the showdown]  Hey, are you nervous?

  Destiny : Cheerleaders don't get nervous. They get ready.

  Blake : But I'm nervous.

• Willow : We need to step up our game.

  Destiny : We need to start somewhere. So let's start with our basic routines.

  Willow : All our routines are basic.

  Destiny : Excuse me?

  Willow : Nothing.

  Destiny : Yeah, that's what I thought.

  Willow : I just feel like we're doing this to win championships. To get the judges' approval, but not because we love it. That's all.

  Destiny : Yeah, all I heard was "win championships." Let's take it from the top, everybody with music!
