Scary Spice : Does anyone know how to deliver a baby?
Ginger Spice : Don't worry, I know all about home delivery.
Scary Spice : Yeah, right.
Ginger Spice : Well, I read it in a book. Okay, the first thing to do is put your legs together!
Scary Spice : Well that's a bit late! She should have done that nine months ago!
Nicola : Don't make me laugh, please.
Scary Spice : Do not make her laugh, else it'll just shoot out like a cannon ball!
Baby : Seriously, what if the baby comes out right now?
Posh : Well it's not gonna go very far. I mean, look, she's still got her tights on!
Ginger Spice : [shouting up Nicola's skirt] Stay up there! We're not ready for you yet!

Ginger Spice : [as Sporty Spice, jumps onto the runway] Yo!

Sporty : [as Posh Spice] Really uncomfortable!
Posh : [as Baby Spice] Well, I just nearly fell off these shoes and sprained my ankles.

Sporty : [as Posh Spice] Don't even think about it!
Baby : [as Scary Spice] I'm off. I'm gettin' these off! Bring me some platforms
Scary Spice : [as Ginger Spice] How can you wear these things?
Ginger Spice : [as Sporty Spice] You look a pile of crap in my clothes, anyway.

Hospital Parent : [in a waiting room, politely] Excuse me? Are you the Spice Girls?
Sporty : Some of them.
Hospital Parent : My son's unconscious. Could you talk to him, try and wake him up?
Hospital Parent : [a little later, in son's hospital room] Malcolm, the Spice Girls have come to talk to you.
Ginger Spice : Hello, Malcolm. It's Geri.
Sporty : And Melanie C.
Posh : [very loudly] And I'm Victoria, Malcolm!
Ginger Spice : Shh. Stop it.
Sporty : Well, what should we do now?
Ginger Spice : I don't know. Maybe we should just talk to him.
Sporty : What are we gonna say?
Posh : [teasing] Well, maybe you should take your top off, Geri.
Ginger Spice : Shut up.
Posh : It's just a joke.
Ginger Spice : Anyway, there's not much point, he's got his eyes shut.
Sporty : [Malcolm suddenly opens his eyes, apparently wanting to see Geri with her top off] Not now, he hasn't.
-
Ginger Spice : No. We didn't agree to have this lot dancing with us.
Posh : I mean I know you said it was going to be tacky. But this is tacky.

[the two competition winners and Victoria are being pulled back onto their boat, after taking a tumble into the River Thames.]
Scary Spice : [offers her jacket] Vicky, Vicky, you want to wear this?
Posh : [Victoria would rather wear stylish clothes that are wet, than dry clothes that are not stylish.] I'm not THAT desperate, thank you!
-
Scary Spice : [as they are talking about being stereotyped] You know, I think it's the same with fish
[points out fish in tank]
Scary Spice : I mean, look at this, you've got the spotty one, that's wacky. You've got the fluffy one, that's cute And then you have this ugly loser one. That reminds me of my ex boyfriend, Steven.
Scary Spice : Ugh
Ginger Spice : Did you know that the largest fish ever is the manta ray?
Posh : [Sarcastically] And then you've got the little ginger one, which is full of useless information, about manta rays!

Sporty : [after falling into the bus] Victoria!
Posh : Sorry!
Graydon : [Describing the events as they are happening] Now they're coming up on the tower bridge.
Voice of Bridge Keeper : Attention, please. Your attention, please. The bridge will shortly be lifted.
Graydon : The road is rising right in front of them to let a boat through!
Posh : The bridge is going up!
Graydon : They can't believe it!
Scary Spice : Oh, my god! I don't believe it!
Graydon : Are they crazy enough to try and jump the gap?
[Sporty, Baby, Ginger, and Scary put on their "game faces"]
Posh : Hold onto your knickers, girls!
Graydon : Hey, baby! These are the Spice Girls, of course they're gonna go for it! Up it goes. A five ton London bus sailing through the air at seventy miles an hour! It's incredible!
Martin Barnfield : It's expensive!
[the Spice Bus easily jumps the gap]
Martin Barnfield : Um... not necessarily.
Graydon : But then, just when you think they're safe, they discover the bomb.
Martin Barnfield : What bomb?
Baby : [Opens up a secret door, looks at the bomb, and screams]
Graydon : That bomb.
Scary Spice , Ginger Spice , Sporty , Baby , Posh : [All scream]
Martin Barnfield : Why?
Graydon : Those are the rules.
Martin Barnfield : My god, I've had enough of the rules!
[Attempts to choke Graydon, but Clifford holds him back]
Martin Barnfield : What are you trying to do, kill them? No more! They've suffered enough! Please!
Graydon : All right! All right! They... they run up the steps to the Albert Hall, zoom past the guards, hurdle down the corridor, and they burst through that door right there.
[Points to the door]
Clifford : [Watches the door, expecting to see the Spice Girls run in. When they don't, he attemspt to choke Graydon. Martin tries to hold him back] You lied to me!
Martin Barnfield : Hey! Hey! Hey, now! Hey! Hey! That's enough of that!
Clifford : Where are they?
Graydon : [Still choking] I'll rewrite it.

Ginger Spice : [in closing credits, to Deborah] We'd all like to say "thank you" for this. We needed a serious actress like you to give it some depth. We didn't want it to be...
Posh : [walking by] Superficial.
Ginger Spice : [Ginger chuckles at the irony that Posh, the superficial one, said that.] Ha, ha, ha.
-
Clifford : Look at this! Front page news, again. Suppose the whole lot of you'd been drowned.
Ginger Spice : Well, we weren't though, were we?
Posh : Speak for yourself.
Clifford : What did you think you were doing? Going off like that?
Scary Spice : We were just having fun!
Clifford : What?
Baby : Fun! You know, like ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Sporty : Look, Clifford, we're old enough to take responsibility for our own lives, do you know what I mean?
Clifford : You don't have a life, you have a schedule! You are part of a well-oiled, global machine! There are people everywhere working their butts off for you! People like Deborah, here.
Deborah : Oh, can we leave my butt out of this, please?
Ginger Spice : Oh, just don't be so uptight, Clifford.
Clifford : Uptight? Uptight? You've got a live gig here tomorrow. It's my job to see that you turn up. My bum is on the line, here!
Posh : Can you please leave butts and bums out of this, for one minute?
Sporty : Clifford, some things are more important than gigs, you know.
Clifford : Like what?
Ginger Spice : Like self respect and our freedom, for a start!
Baby : Yeah, and friendship!
Clifford : What are you saying? You-you don't want to turn up here, tomorrow night?
Ginger Spice : [defiantly] Well, maybe we don't.
Baby : What'd you say that for?
Ginger Spice : I don't know, I just said it.
-
Deborah : He didn't mean that!
Clifford : [defiantly] Oh, didn't I?
Baby : [Tearfully] Look, can we please stop arguing?
Posh : When you know exactly what is happening, could somebody please let ME know?
[she storms off]
Scary Spice : [Angrily] Oh great, Clifford! Now look what you've gone and done!
Clifford : Well, that's just too bad!
Scary Spice : Well yeah, it is too bad, cause you know what? I'm going home now, see ya!
[follows Victoria]
Clifford : Bye!
Baby : Look, can we stop all this? This is doing my head in.
[exits]
Sporty : [follows her bandmate] Emma!
Sporty : Emma!
[runs after her]
Ginger Spice : [a long pause ensues, and only Geri is left] I hope you know what you're doing, cause if you're looking for a fight, you're gonna lose!
-
Posh : [after the girls hear noises in the night and after running into each other and scaring themselves, seek refuge in Victoria's room] It's pathetic, you know, that we can't even sleep in our own rooms
Sporty : Yeah, I don't know what we're making such a fuss for, it's only an old house!
Posh : A big old house
Baby : [very scared] A big old scary haunted, big old house!
-
[Clifford sits silently backstage, panicked that the girls really aren't going to show up for the concert. Finally he speaks to the documentary camera]
Clifford : Okay. So this is the plan. The band starts up, the fans go wild, the lights come on, and I walk center stage and hang myself.
[to the camera man]
Clifford : Oh by the way this is my good side.
[back to the audience]
Clifford : My final words are, "The Spice Girls? I hate them!"
[Suddenly the girls burst through the door shouting and laughing]
Scary Spice : Hey! What you doing sitting around?
Baby : Come on! We got a show to do!
Ginger Spice : How ya doing?
Sporty : Where are the mics?
Posh : Where are the clothes!
Scary Spice : And where are the bacon butties?
Clifford : I love those girls! I love those girls!
-
Posh : [after Sporty, Posh, and two fans have fallen into the Thames from a boat] Help!
Scary Spice : What, what?
Posh : This dress is dry clean only Melanie!
[Sporty makes an exasperated sound]
Child fan : Do they have sharks in the Thames?
Posh : Oh, shut up!
-
Sporty : [the Spice Girls are looking directly into the camera, that is, at the audience] You lot, someone's watching us.
Baby : Oh, yeah. Look at all those people in there. Hi! Hello!
Posh : Look at them two snogging at the back. I bet you didn't see any of our film, did you? And look where your hand is!
[winks]
Posh : Go on! Go on!
Baby : Look at the mess they made with the popcorn. That's what I do.
Scary Spice : Know what I wonder? Why do people sit there and watch the end credits?
Ginger Spice : It's probably the sad anti-climax. It's all over. Back to reality.
Scary Spice : I know where they're gonna go. They're gonna go to the pub and then to the chippy.
Posh : [pointing to someone in audience] Hey, you. No, not you. Behind you. To the left. I like your dress. Is that a new Gucci one?
Scary Spice : [whispers to Posh] C & A, mate.
Posh : [whispers, laughing] No.
Baby : You know what, some people are watching this on video.
[loud and sarcastically]
Baby : Is there nothing on telly, then?
-
Graydon : [Describes what's going on throughout the entire scene] He crashes to the ground. And now the girls come face-to-face with their tabloid tormentor. The evil reporter has been unmaksed and in that moment, Damien's whole worthless life flashes before his eyes because, the girls have made him realize that he's been living a meaningless lie.
Damien : [Lying on the ground, in pain] Oh, d'you know what, girls... you've made me realize... I've been... living a meaningless lie.
Graydon : It's his character's one defining moment, and there isn't a dry seat in the house.
Martin Barnfield : I'm wet already.
Clifford : So, then what? Is that the end?
Graydon : No! Damien goes after the really big evil boss, McMaxford.
Clifford : Well, what about the girls?
Graydon : Well, the girls, they've gotta get to Albert Hall, right? I mean, they've been at the hospital for twelve hours.
Baby : Dennis!
Posh : Out of the ways girls?
Scary Spice : What are you doing?
Posh : Fasten your seatbelts.
[Gets in the driver's seat of the Spice Bus, puts her seatbelt on, presses down on the gas pedal, and starts driving like a lunatic]
Dennis : [Getting up off the ground] Hey! That's my bus!
Posh : Come on! What are you doing? What's the matter, are you blind? Come on, what are you doing? Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Sunday drivers! It's only Saturday!
Graydon : And now the Spice Bus is racing across London, through Trafalger's Square. Pigeons are flying up. Guys are diving into fountains. And as it zooms through them all, past Bukingham Palace, Prince William is there. He's looin' at the window through a curtain. He turns to the Queen! The Queen, man! And he says "Oi, granny, look. It's the Spice Girls. They're on telly in a minute". And the Queen looks out and says "Oh, you're right. Isn't that the Posh one drivin'?"
Baby : Look, there's the Queen! Hi, William!
Ginger Spice : Hi, Charlie.
Scary Spice : Hello, Harry.
Graydon : And then, suddenly, they're on top of the bus.
Clifford : Why?
Martin Barnfield : The rules!
Graydon : Right, right, the rules. Anyhow, there they are, standing in gale-force winds. Holding on for dear life. Emma slips, but Geri grabs her. But then Geri slips, so Mel B grabs her. But then, she slips, so Mel C grabs her. Four? Wait, that's four. Oh, there's one driving, right. Anyway, they're standing on top of a bus, whiplashing back and forth, about to be turned into Spice Jam!
Martin Barnfield : Oh, my god!
Clifford : And...?
Graydon : Two old nuns in a mini-metro pull up right in front of them. The braking tumbles the girls back into the bus.
-
Posh : Was that really worth it?
Sporty : I'm so glad we've got the morning off.
Baby : Yeah. First time in over a month, Clifford.
Scary Spice : Are we there yet?
