Favorite quotes and moments from The Bling Ring trailers

I still haven’t had a chance to see Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring, but I’m so jazzed for it. In the meantime here are my favorite quotes and moments from the trailers so far, besides the obvious, but still awesome Let’s go shopping!

cute dress
Laurie (Leslie Mann): “That’s a cute dress – Did you get a new dress?”
Nicky (Emma Watson): “Mm-hmm.”

dog
Marc (Israel Broussard): “You can’t steal her dog.”
Rebecca (Katie Chang): “But he likes me!”

lindsay
Rebecca (Katie Chang): “Did you speak to any of the victims?”
Detective/Police Officer: “I’ve spoken to all of the victims.”
Rebecca (Katie Chang): “Really? What did Lindsay say?”

Katie Chang is definitely what I’m most looking forward to in this movie, both in terms of performance and eye-candy. She also reminds me of someone I used to know. I so can’t wait to see this film and I’m totally jealous of everyone that has already seen it or will see it before me.
