Recap
The episode begins with the boys finding out that the girls made a list ranking all the boys in class from best looking to ugliest.

Episode Quotes
Craig: You don't think they put the fat tub of tard at the bottom?
Cartman: No, because people know I'm not fat! I'm buff. They probably put you at the bottom of the list because you have fucked up teeth! Or Kenny's 'cause he's poor.
Butters: Mom, Dad! I'm not the ugliest kid in the class! Kyle Broflovski is!
Steven: Well good for you, Butters.
Linda: Way to go, champ.
Butters: Whoopie!
Steven: Well, guess we don't have to ground him.
Jerry: One canister of propane, six cans of lighter fluid, seven gallons of high-octane kerosene, and a box of matches. Okay, is that everything little boy?
Kyle: That should just about do it.
Jerry: Did you like to put this on your True-Value card today?
Stan: Uh Wendy. Could I talk to you?
Wendy: Of course, Stan.
Stan: Just for a minute. Over
here. (takes her aside, to a tree nearby)
Lola: (to other girl) You think he's gonna beg her to come back to him?
Wendy: This is a nice surprise. I thought you were never speaking to me again.
Stan: Yeah well, I wanna talk to you about this list you girls made.
Wendy: Which one? We make lists all the time.
Stan: The one where you rated the boys' looks in the class. Look, it really messed Kyle up, okay? How could you vote him the ugliest?
Wendy: Look, personally, I didn't vote him the ugliest. My vote was for Eric Cartman. But enough of the other girls must have felt he was....
Stan: (walks up next to her) So it wasn't unanimous. Maybe you can just change the list.
Wendy: Change the list?! Do you have any idea what that would take?! Maybe you don't understand how important list-making is to girls! It's just not something we do flippantly! There's protocol!
Stan: Can't we just talk to all the girls who made the list and find out why they voted Kyle last?
Wendy: All right, I'll try and get you into our next list-making meeting. But it won't be easy.
