I like the whole scence w\ the pipe bomb Jo was making.

Blair: I don't know what's wrong with me Jo.
Jo: Well I don't have time to tell you.

Jo: After that we laughed, talked, and had a great time... I hated it.

Jo: Hey Nat cool it, nice girls don't throw trees.

Jo: Alright I have had it with that hairy little creep.

Tootie: Oh look here's Blair and the pig.
Jo: Which one's the pig?

Blair: I don't know what's wrong with me Jo.
Jo: Well I don't have time to tell you.

This exchange from Four Musketeers has a couple of good lines from Jo:

Blair- *sigh*
Jo- I hate it when you do that.
Blair- Do what?
Jo- Sigh
Blair- I don't sigh
Jo- Well if it wasn't a sigh, you've got a slow leak
Tootie- Cool it you two
Pause
Blair- *sigh*
Jo- You're doing it again
Blair- It's called breathing
Jo- You do it just to annoy me
Blair- No, I do it to keep from dying
Jo- Now there's an idea!

I love this scene. It's one of my favorites.

Here's another from the scene where they argue about whether or not the window should be open:

Blair: "The moon was but a chin of gold a night or two ago.
And now she turns her perfect face upon the world below."
The Moon. Emily Dickinson.

Jo: It's freezing. Jo Polniaczek.

I always like this one from one of the later seasons -


(Tootie and Jo walk down the stairs.)

TOOTIE: Hey, are there any doughnuts left?

NATALIE: Savages! What kind of a breakfast is that? You are what you eat!

JO: Then what have YOU been eating? Scrap metal?

Jo: You filmed us on the train, you filmed us in the cab, I need you to run out of film so I can go to the bathroom! Jo says grabbing the camera.

From Gone W/ The Wind Pt. 2:
Jo: Alright Natalie it's true. You and I are heating this room!

From The Halloween Show:
Jo: Wrong you weenie!

From Doo-Wah:
Jo: I didn't ground myself. How could I let a thing like that get by me. (she hits herself in the head) What a dunder head!!

Magnificent Obbsession:
Jo: I thought the maybe would get him a magic marker up the nose!

Ain't Miss Beholden:

THIS IS A FUNNY QUOTE FROM JO THAT MADE ME LAUGH (AS REALLY ALL OF HER RETORTS, ESPECIALLY TO BLAIR, DO)
REFERRING TO THE BATES GOAT MASCOT BEING PREGNANT, AND BLAIR WANTING TO USE THE PHRASE "GOT IN TROUBLE" INSTEAD.
JO: "DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT THEIR MASCOT "GOT IN TROUBLE"? SHES A GOAT, BLAIR! WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED? SHE WENT OUT PARKING WITH A BAD BILLY & THINGS GOT OUT OF HAND!?"

NANCY SAID IN AN INTERVIEW THAT SHE ALWAYS GOT THE BEST LINES & COMEBACKS, AND I BELIEVE THAT TO BE TRUE. HOWEVER, IT ALSO WAS NANCY'S TALENT IN HOW SHE SAID IT, THAT MADE US LAUGH OUT LOUD. LISA KNEW BLAIR IN & OUT AND BOTH OF THESE FINE ACTRESSES HAD GREAT FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, AND COMEDIC TIMING, WHICH ADDED TO THEIR BELIEVABILITY. THEY ALSO HAD GREAT CHEMISTRY, AND THINK THEY ARE UNDERRATED AS A GREAT COMEDY TEAM. THEY REALLY MADE US WANT TO SEE BLAIR & JO, WHETHER THEY WERE GOING AT ONE ANOTHER OR THEY WERE SHARING TRUE FRIENDSHIP MOMENTS. THEN AGAIN, THEIR BICKERING WAS JUST PART OF THEIR QUIRKY JO/BLAIR INTIMATE FRIENDSHIP. AT LEAST I THINK SO.
