  • [the bride arrives at the church, obviously out of it]
  • Brenda Baker: Her monthly bill came early. Well, she's fine, she just took a muscle relaxer.
  • Ginny: Try *four*.
  • Samantha: I loathe the bus. There has to be a more dignified mode of transportation.
  • Ginny: I really love Rudy. He is totally enamored of me. I mean, I've had men who've loved me before, but not for six months in a row.
  • The Geek: Damn Mom, I've got my headgear on!
  • Caroline: [annoyed] Will you wake up?
  • The Geek: [opens eyes] Where the hell am I?
  • Caroline: I'll, uh, tell you where you are, if you tell me who you are.

  • The Geek: You own a church?
  • Brenda Baker: Can you remember to turn off the stove in 20 minutes?

  • The Geek: Come on, what's the problem here? I'm a boy. You're a girl. Is there any thing wrong with me trying to put together some kind of relationship between us? Okay, look, I know you haven't been - just answer me one question.
  • Samantha: Yes, you're a total fag.
  • The Geek: [laughs] That's not the question. Am I turning you on?
  • The Geek: Relax, would you? We have seventy dollars and a pair of girls underpants. We're safe as kittens.
  • Long Duk Dong: Very clever dinner. Appetizing food fit neatly into interesting round pie.
  • Mike Baker: It's a quiche.
  • Long Duk Dong: How do you spell?
  • Grandpa Fred: Well you don't spell it, son, you eat it.
  • [laughs]
  • Randy: [talking on the phone with Samantha] I was going to tell you something, but, maybe I shouldn't. It's pretty bad.
  • Samantha: You may as well. Nothing could shock me anymore.
  • Randy: Last night at the dance, my little brother paid a buck to see your underwear.
  • Samantha: [screams] Aaaaaaaahhh!
  • Howard: [Her grandparents downstairs are startled by the scream] Geez! I hate that rock 'n' roll rubbish!
  • Grandpa Fred: Well, I'm afraid it's here to stay, Howie.
  • Randy: Would you stop feeling sorry for yourself? It's bad for your complexion.

  • The Geek: You wanna know what happened? Buy the book!
  • [hangs up]
  • The Geek: By night's end, I predict me and her will interface.
  • Samantha: When you don't have anything, you don't have anything to lose. Right?
  • Randy: That's a cheerful thought.
  • Ginny: No, Sam, I think you're just being a little selfish... and immature.
  • Samantha: Oh, yes, that's it. That's *exactly* it.
  • [storms out]
  • Ginny: [to herself] Unbelievable. You make someone a bridesmaid and they shit all over you.
  • The Geek: I know I came on kinda like a poozer on the bus tonight and everything. But... that's just so my friends won't think, you know, I'm a jerk.
  • Samantha: But they're all pretty much jerks, though, aren't they?
  • The Geek: Yeah, but, the thing is, I'm kinda like the leader, you know? Kinda like the king of the dipshits.
  • Samantha: Well, that's pretty cool. Hey, but a lot can happen over a year. I mean, you could come back next Fall as a completely normal person.
  • Brenda Baker: Oh, Sam. Sam, I am so sorry about your birthday.
  • Samantha: It's OK. I'll recover.
  • Brenda Baker: It's important to you. And yesterday morning you were trying to tell me.
  • [Sniffling]

  • Samantha: You'll feel better.
  • Mike Baker: Who died?
  • Brenda Baker: Uh... Is there something you want to say to your sister?
  • Mike Baker: What? Are you kidding? Where should I start?
  • Brenda Baker: I mean about her birthday. It was yesterday. We all forgot.
  • Mike Baker: [laughing] Classic.
  • Brenda Baker: Deep down, he's really sorry.
  • Brenda Baker, Samantha: [Together] No, he's not.
  • Howard: Dong. Where is my automobile?
  • Long Duk Dong: Oto-mo-biiile?
  • [laughing]
  • Long Duk Dong: [Imitating race car. Imitating crash] Lake. Big Lake.
  • Dorothy Baker: Why, you little scuzzbag!
  • [She kicks Dong in the groin]
  • Jake: I'll make a deal with you.
  • [holds up the panties]
  • Jake: Let me keep these; I'll let you take Caroline home. But you gotta make sure she gets home. You can't leave her in some parking lot somewhere. Okay?
  • The Geek: Jake, I'm only a Freshman.
  • Jake: So? She's so blitzed she won't know the difference.
  • The Geek: Jake, I don't have a car.
  • Jake: You can take mine.
  • The Geek: Jake, I don't have license.
  • Jake: I trust you...
  • The Geek: Jake, I'd love to... I can't.
  • [holds out a bowl]
  • The Geek: Want a pretzel?
  • Jake: You sure?
  • [takes the bowl and sets it down on the counter]
  • The Geek: Positive.

  • The Geek: VERY hostile!
  • The Geek: Nice ma - nice manners, babe!
  • Jake: Yes, hello, sir, um...
  • Howard: Are you the little bugger that's been calling up here all night and then hanging up?
  • Jake: Would it be possible for you to tell me if there is a Samantha Baker there, and if so, sir, may I converse with her briefly?
  • Howard: Yes it is, and NO you may not.
  • Jake: Might I leave a message, sir?
  • Howard: [to Grandma Baker] He wants to leave a message for Sam.
  • The Geek: [noticing the car Jake puts Caroline in] This, uh, your car, Jake?
  • Jake: No, this is my dad's car. You said you couldn't drive a stick.
  • The Geek: This is a mother - ! This is a Rolls-Royce, Jake.
  • Jake: So?
  • The Geek: SO? So? I hear the grill ALONE costs five grand on this. Five grand! Do you have five grand? I don't have five grand!
  • Jake: Then don't hit anything.
  • The Geek: [incredulous] Ha ha! Don't hit anything.
  • Randy: [Samantha has filled out an "anonymous" sex quiz naming her crush, which has fallen into unknown hands] Jake Ryan? He doesn't even know you exist.
  • Samantha: Thank you, that's a very nice thing to say.
  • Randy: I'm sorry, but Jake Ryan? He's a senior, and he's taken. I mean, really taken.
  • Samantha: I know. He's supposed to be my ideal.
  • Randy: He's ideal for sure, but, forget it.
  • Samantha: God, I hope whoever got the note doesn't know it was me who wrote it. I'd shit twice and die.
  • Samantha: It's really human of you to listen to all my bullshit.
  • The Geek: Do you know how many times a week I go without lunch because some bitch borrows my lunch money? Y'know, any halfway decent girl can rob me blind, because I'm too torqued up to say no.
  • The Geek: How's it goin'?
  • Samantha: How's what going?
  • The Geek: You know - things, life, whatnot.
  • Samantha: Life is not whatnot, and it's none of your business.
  • Samantha: This is Farmer Fred.
  • The Geek: Ted.
  • Samantha: Oh, I'm sorry, Farmer Ted.
  • The Geek: I'm not really a farmer. I'm a freshman.
  • Samantha: I can't believe I gave my panties to a geek.
  • Jim Baker: [to Samantha] I don't think I'll be able to sleep if I don't feel this little talk has helped ya. So would ya be a sport and lie to me?
  • Jake: I do independent study with her. I catch her lookin' at me a lot. It's kinda cool, the way she's always lookin' at me.
  • Rock: Maybe she's retarded.
  • Jake: I'm being serious, okay? She looks at me like she's in love with me.
  • The Geek: Jake, is your dad a big man, or?
  • Jake: About 6'4".
  • The Geek: Very nice.
  • Samantha: This is the single worst day of my entire life!
  • Mike Baker: What the hell are you bitchin' about? I have to sleep under some Chinaman named after duck's dork.
  • Samantha: Well, where am I sleeping?
  • Mike Baker: Sofa City, Sweetheart.
