10 Things I Hate About You is a 1999 film about a pretty, popular teenager who can't go out on a date until her ill-tempered older sister does. The film parallels Shakespeare's comedy, The Taming of the Shrew, set in a modern-day high school.
- Directed by Gil Junger. Written by Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith.
Katarina "Kat" Stratford
- Remove head from sphincter, then drive!
- I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car, I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big, dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick — It even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh — Even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around. And the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you — Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
Dr. Walter Stratford
- No drinking, no drugs, no kissing, no tattoos, no piercings, no ritualistic animal slaughters of any kind. Oh, God, I'm giving them ideas.
Patrick Verona
- What is it with this chick? She got beer flavored nipples?
- It's not everyday you find a girl who'll flash someone to get you out of detention.
Bianca Stratford
- You're asking me out? That's so cute! What's your name again?
- I happen to like being adored, thank you.
