Quotes7

  • Commune leader: We have seen you on the sacred box.
  • Lisa: The sacred box?
  • Commune leader: The sacred box with the pictures.
  • Lisa: Oh, television.
  • Commune leader: We do not speak its name.
  • Lisa: Simon, they hypnotized you. Your friend, Becker, Mr. Wizard, he washed your brain and it shrunk!
  • Lisa: What happened?
  • Josh: Well, when he came out, he was convinced he'd turned into a six foot tall penis named Bob. Other than that, he's perfectly normal.
  • Lisa: Are you telling me that you come from out of space?
  • Prof. Simon Mendelssohn: Not out of space. Outer space! Out of space doesn't mean anything.
  • Lisa: I went to the drug store to buy this test. They have these tests you can buy now. You do it yourself and it turned out positive. And so, I went to the clinic, because, I had them do a test on me and theirs was also positive. It confirmed - that they were both positive.
  • Prof. Simon Mendelssohn: Right. So, what's that? You sick or what?
  • Lisa: No, I'm pregnant.
  • Prof. Simon Mendelssohn: Are you sure?
  • Lisa: I guess I'm positive.
  • Prof. Simon Mendelssohn: I give my best stuff too. Shakespeare. Pogo. The Prophets.
  • Lisa: Maybe they don't want their lives improved. You know, maybe they like their lives the way they are.
  • Prof. Simon Mendelssohn: They like that fake music in the elevators? They like those thin, gray hamburgers with the imitation sauce?
  • Lisa: Simon, you just can't show up out of nowhere and tell a whole country what to like.
  • Prof. Simon Mendelssohn: Emptiness. Emptiness. Ten billion years of evolution. Up from the slime! For what? They call this a culture.
  • Lisa: I don't think its so bad. I think we've produced some good things too.
  • Prof. Simon Mendelssohn: Oh, yeah? Such as?
  • Lisa: I don't know. Fred Astaire. Penicillin. Air Conditioning.
  • Lisa: Do you remember what happened last time with the peyote?
  • Prof. Simon Mendelssohn: Nothing happened with the peyote.
  • Lisa: You threw up for five days! You were dizzy. You missed your class. You made sounds like a wolf howling.
  • Prof. Simon Mendelssohn: Three days is a completely normal side affect.
