Book 1

  • In the beginning, when Agatha does not buy Sophie's schtick:
    "Agatha, let me in-"
    "You'll say I smell."
    "You don't smell."
    "Then why'd you say it last time?"
    "Because you smelled last time! Agatha, the cat's hissing-"
    "Maybe it smells ulterior motives."
  • Then when Sophie lists off the reasons why Agatha is "different," among them that she once wrote a story where Snow White got eaten by vultures, that she gave Sophie a dead frog for her birthday and that she dressed as a bride for Halloween because "weddings are scary." Notably it's the last one which horrifies Sophie the most.
  • The whole goblin debacle, in which Sophie and Agatha are turned into identical ugly goblins and Tedros has to pick which one is Good. He picks Agatha, and Sophie goes ballistic. The highlights of the fight include Agatha kicking Tedros in the groin and Tedros getting thrown into a pile of manure.
    • Later, when Tedros confronts Agatha about how she got him to pick her, she makes up a curse that turns people as dumb as a donkey's arse.
  • Sophie's disastrous attempt at courting Tedros at lunch.
    • Against Agatha's protests, Sophie goes up to Tedros where he's shooting marbles and offers to share her Never's lunch — a bucket of pig's feet.
      "What are you—YOU'LL RUIN EVERYTHI—"
      But Sophie had already flounced to the Evers' side, plopped next to Tedros, and held out her pail.
      "Hello, handsome. Want some of my . . . feet?"
      Tedros misfired his marble into Chaddick's eye. The entire Clearing went silent.
    • How blatantly she throws Dot under the bus to try and cover for herself.
      Sophie: You know Dot. Always making things up.
      Tedros: She doesn't seem like a liar to me.
      Sophie: Oh, she's always lying. Just to get attention. Since she's, you know...
      Tedros: [raises eyebrows] Since she's...
      Sophie: Fat.
    • Afterward, with Agatha, she says that Tedros didn't say no, so maybe it didn't go that badly. Then Dot runs up and spills the rumors about how terribly it went. Somehow, the details of Sophie calling Dot a liar, bringing up the time Tedros landed in poo, and offering him her pig's feet have evolved into:
      Dot: Everyone's saying you called Tedros a liar, threw poo in his face, and licked his feet!
  • Sophie, realizing that her classmates really have it in for her, runs to Lady Lesso.
    Sophie: My roommates are trying to kill me!
    Lady Lesso: That's the spirit! [closes the door in her face]
    • Anadil is actually reading a book called Killing Pretty Girls. Meanwhile Hester is reading a book called Killing Even Prettier Girls.
  • Poor Dot had been made to take up residence in a toilet after being kicked out of her room by her former friends. She later tells one of them that she can't eat chocolate anymore because it reminds her of...
  • Agatha denying she's a princess, and Tedros counting down to when she faints at the sight of her blood. "Definitely a princess."
  • Agatha making her way to Sophie's dorm with great difficulty, fighting off gargoyles and wolves and nearly falling to her death a few times - only to find Sophie placidly singing to her reflection, having flooded the room so she can apply her makeup. Meanwhile Anadil, Dot, Hester and three of Anadil's rats are watching her in silence, as in shock as Agatha.

The Last Ever After

  • In The Last Ever After, after Sophie and Agatha learn the history of Vanessa and Callis, as well as the fact that they're twin sisters, they are frozen with shock. Then a hidden door opens, and a recording of Lady Lesso tells the students in the crypt to return to their respective schools in an orderly fashion. It's funny in a Mood Whiplash sort of way.
