I just love the way she says "Righteous Dude". It's so whimsical.

this was my favourite scene in the whole movie, the way she rattles off all those provincial slurs with such a benign and nonchalant tone always kills me.

In 2010, Edie McClurg
told Vanity Fair Magazine, that her character's hairdo should be from
the 1960s, "because Grace felt she looked best in the 1960s, and kept
her look from that era." However, the women's hairdresser on the set had
mainly been hired to blow out Mia Sara's
long, straight hair, and didn't know how to set the big 1960s
hairstyles, so McClurg teased, set, and styled her own character's hair.
Once she arrived on the set, John Hughes
looked at her hairstyle and the first thing he said was, "How many
pencils do you think you can fit in that hair?" They tested it with one
pencil, then two and three, but the fourth one fell out, so that was the
origin of Grace's first scene in the movie, in which she pulls several
lost pencils out of her hair.

When Grace says "He's a righteous dude", it was not in the original script. Edie McClurg ad-libbed it in her best Chicago accent.
