A surfeit of quotable dialogue has made Sofia Coppola’s new movie a summer blockbuster that will launch a thousand Twitter bios. Here are 11 of the best quotes from “The Bling Ring.”

The word bling has become so prevalent that the dictionary now defines it as “sparkly or flashy.” It can also refer to expensive and extravagant jewelry, clothing, or other possessions, or the lifestyle associated with flaunting them. The movie “The Bling Ring” explores these themes.
