Quotes56

  • Van Wilder: Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere.
  • Van Wilder: Her name's Naomi. That's "I moan" backwards.
  • Van Wilder: You shouldn't take life to seriously. You'll never get out alive.
  • [repeated line, after giving advice]
  • Van Wilder: Write that down.
  • Van Wilder: Sometimes you gotta let your heart lead you... even if you know its someplace you know you're not suppossed to be.
  • Gwen: And how many times has your heart led you into the women's locker room?
  • Van Wilder: This would be a first.
  • Gwen: Why do I find that hard to believe?
  • Van Wilder: I'm not saying this is the first time I've been in here, just usually it is another part of my anatomy that does the leading.
  • Van Wilder: Wow, If he's here, who's running hell?
  • Van Wilder: It's a date.
  • Gwen: It's an interview, not a date.
  • Van Wilder: Gwen, first dates are interviews.
  • Van Wilder: What is wrong with people today?
  • Hutch: [taking a hit from a bong] It's the internet dude, it fries their brain cells.
  • Van Wilder: Don't be a fool, wrap your tool.
  • Van Wilder: Are you stalking me? Because that would be super.
  • Van Wilder: Hey look. I read the damn article all right. But don't tell anyone because if word gets out that I read my reputation shot to hell.
  • McDoogle: I've been waiting all these years for you to realize your potential.
  • Van Wilder: That's why you and I had friction? God, I always thought it was 'cause, 'cause I fooled around with your daughter freshman year.
  • McDoogle: Why, what... You fooled around with my daughter?
  • Van Wilder: What?
  • Van Wilder: [speaking about Gwen's boyfriend Richard] I'll bet he's a tighty whitey guy.
  • Gwen: Excuse me?
  • Van Wilder: White, elastic band, constricting. You can tell a lot about a person by the kind of drawers they wear. Like you - granny panties I bet.
  • Gwen: Does that allude to me being the plain, boring type?
  • Van Wilder: Mmmm, no.
  • Van Wilder: [sighs]
  • Van Wilder: I just wanted the visual.
  • Van Wilder: [while standing pantless next to the freshman] But you know what I've learned in my seven years here at Coolidge... Timmy? I've learned that you can't treat every situation as a life-and-death matter because you'll die a lot of times. Write that down.
  • Suicidal Freshman: I don't have a pen.
  • Van Wilder: Well remember that then. And you know something, Timmy? I think you've got the balls to make it here. Call me nuts, but I believe in you.
  • Van Wilder: I know Ms. Pac-Man is special. She's fun. She's cute. She swallows.
  • Gwen: [Mouths] What are you doing here?
  • Van Wilder: [Mouths] I don't know!
  • Van Wilder: All you need is scented candles, massage oil, and Barry White. Write that down. Look at me. No cock pump.
  • Taj: No cock pump. Barry White.
  • Van Wilder: Richard, you rascal, you never told me you were a DIK!
  • [under his breath]
  • Van Wilder: Not that you had to.
  • Gwen: I'm doing a human interest piece... on you.
  • Van Wilder: I'm flattered, I'd love for your piece to be on me.
  • [looks up at the ceiling and sighs]
  • Van Wilder: ... But sadly I don't do interviews, never have, never will. Do lunch though.
  • Richard: Mr. Wilder here is quite the collegian. He's in his, what? sixth year?
  • Van Wilder: Actually, its lucky number seven.
