The script is so beloved that one of the lines from the movie has turned into a social media phenomenon. October 3rd has been dubbed “National Mean Girls Day” due to a memorable scene in the film where Aaron Samuels (played by Jonathan Bennett), the popular guy in high school, asks Cady Heron (played by Lohan) what day it is. “I began talking to Aaron more and more. On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was,” she says in a voiceover before telling him directly, “It’s October 3rd.” And now, stars from the film and fans from all over celebrate the film on that fateful day in October. But that’s not the only day we celebrate the movie. And that’s not the only moment from the film that has stood the test of time. Read on for more of our favorite Mean Girls quotes that anyone would recognize, no matter what the day.
