          Janet: People need people, Steve. It has nothing to do with sex. OK, maybe 40 percent. 60 percent. Forget it.

          Janet: Are my breasts too small for you?

          Cliff: Sometimes.

          Janet: I've always been able to do this, break up with someone and never look back. Being alone: there's a certain dignity to it.

          Janet: You're Dr. Jamison, man. Many, many babes are into that.

          Janet: Somewhere around 25, "bizarre" becomes "immature."

          Steve: I just happened to be nowhere near your neighborhood.

          Cliff: Look, Janet you know I see other people still. You do know that don't you?

          Janet: You don't fool me.

          Cliff: Janet, I could not be fooling you less.

          David: Tonight I'll be the super me.

          Steve: What if the super you meets the super her and the super her rejects the super you?

          David: Then it's no problem.

          Steve: Uh-huh Why?

          David: Because it was never you, it was just an act. I live my life like a French movie Steve.

          Steve: Linda, uh, it's me. I had to call you. It's about midnight. I was just having many beers. And, uh, I just wanted to say what I should have said at the dock. I fucking chickened out when I acted casual, like Mr. Casual. I should have said it. You...belong...with...me! We belong together. And what really pisses me off is that, now that we're really talking, you thought i proposed to you only because you were pregnant. What's that about! I mean...hey, this is not the bathroom! And you know maybe if I had said some of these things at the dock it would have made a difference because, but I think we made a big mistake because, we had good times and we had bad times, but we had times. And I would like to start over. I would like to be new to you. I want to be new to you. I want to be Mr. New. So call me back if you want to. But this is the last time I'll call. And, if you really needed to know how I feel, how I really feel, that's how I feel. I love you. And that's something you should know, so I won't bother you again. So, good night. And good bye. And call me back. Good bye.

          Steve: My dad left home when I was eight. You know what he said to me? Have fun, stay single. I was eight.

          Steve: I'm probably sterile. It runs in my family.

          Margaret: Please don't say anything important till I come back.

          Elinor: Margaret has always wanted to travel.

          Edward: I know. She's heading to China shortly. I'm to go as her servant. But only on the understanding that I am to be very badly treated.

          Marianne: Fanny wishes to know where the key to the silver cabinet is kept.

          Elinor: Betsy had it I think. What does Fanny want with the silver?

          Marianne: One can only presume she wants to count it.

          Mama: If you can't think of anything to say you will please restrict your remarks to the weather.

          Edward: My heart is, and always will be, yours.

          Elinor: Did he tell you he loved you?

          Marianne: Yes... no. Never absolutely. It was everyday implied but never declared.

          Elinor: I do not attempt to deny, that I think very highly of him - that I greatly esteem, that I like him.

          Marianne: Esteem him! Like him! Cold hearted Elinor! Oh! Worse than cold hearted!

          Ashamed of being otherwise. Use those words again and I will leave the room this moment.

          Marianne: Can love really be satisfied with such polite affections? To love is to burn.

          John Willoughby: Brandon is the sort of man everyone speaks well of, but nobody talks to.

          [After Marianne has first met Willougby]

          Elinor: Marianne, you must change or you will catch a cold.

          Marianne: What care I for colds when there is such a man.

          Elinor: You will care very much when your nose swells up.

          Marianne: You are right. Help me, Elinor.

          Elinor: What do you know of my heart? What do you know of anything but your own suffering. For weeks, Marianne, I've had this pressing on me without being at liberty to discuss it with a single soul. Having it forced on me by the very person whose prior claims laid ruin to all my hopes. I have endured her exultations again and again whilst knowing myself to be divided from Edward forever. Believe me, Marianne, had I not been bound to silence I could have provided proof enough of a broken heart, even for you.

          Jerry: Do you know what it's like to be ME out here for YOU? It is an up-at-dawn, pride-swallowing siege that I will never fully tell you about!

          Jerry: I don't like black people? I am Mister black people.

          Dorothy: On the surface, everything seems fine. I've got this great guy. And he loves my kid. And he sure does like me a lot. And I can't live like that. It's not the way I'm built.

          Rod: Anyone else would have left you by now, but I'm sticking with you. And if I have to ride your ass like Zorro, you're gonna show me the money.

          Jerry : I'm still sort of moved by your "My word is stronger than oak" thing.

          Jerry: I will not rest until I have you holding a Coke, wearing your own shoe, playing a Sega game featuring you, while singing your own song in a new commercial, starring you, broadcast during the Superbowl, in a game that you are winning, and I will not sleep until that happens. I'll give you fifteen minutes to call me back.

          Laurel : You fuck this up, I'll kill you! Jerry : I'm glad we had this talk.

          Rod : You are hanging on by a very thin thread and I dig that about you!

          Ethan: Everybody loves you. Pisses me off.

          Jerry : How's your head?

          Rod : Bubblicious.

          Ray : D'you know that the human head weighs 8 pounds?

          Jerry: Did you know that Troy Aikman, in only six years, has passed for 16,303 yards?

          Ray : D'you know that bees and dogs can smell fear?

          Jerry: Did you know that the career record for hits is 4,256 by Pete Rose who is NOT in the Hall of Fame?

          Ray: D'you know that my next door neighbor has three rabbits?

          Jerry : I... I can't compete with that!

          Avery : There is no real loyalty, and the first person who taught me that was you.

          Jerry: I figure I was trying to sleep with you at the time.

          Avery: Well, it worked.

          Dorothy Boyd: Maybe love shouldn't be such hard work.

          Dicky: If this [points to heart] is empty, this [points to head] doesn't matter.

          Jerry: Do you want this jacket? I don't need it. I'm cloaked in failure!

          Jerry : What do you want from me? My soul?

          Dorothy : Why not? I deserve that much.

          Jerry : This is going to change everything.

          Dorothy: Promise?

          Jerry: I won't let you get rid of me. How about that?

          Jerry : I love you. You... complete me...and I just...

          Dorothy : Shut up. Just shut up. You had me at "hello...you had me at "hello"

          Teacher: You know what scares the hell out of me? You know what keeps me up at night? The fact that 30 years from now, these kids will be running things. These kids will be taking care of me.

          Carl (janitor): I wouldn't bet on it.

          Andrew: Speak for yourself.

          Bender: Do you think I'd speak for you? I don't even know your language.

          Bender: Screws just fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place.

          John: Excuse me, Dick. I mean, Rich, will milk be provided for us?

          Claire: I have a really low tolerance for dehydration.

          Andrew: I've seen her dehydrate, sir, it's pretty gross.

          [Claire is applying make-up on Allison.]

          Claire: You know, you look a lot better without all that black shit under your eyes.

          Allison: Hey, I like all that black shit... Why are you being so nice to me?

          Claire: Because you're letting me.

          Claire: You know why guys like you knock everything?

          Bender: Oh, this should be stunning.

          Claire : It's because you're afraid.

          Bender: Oh God, you richies are so smart, that's exactly why I'm not heavy into activities.

          Claire : You're a big coward.

          Brian: I'm in the math club.

          Claire : See, you're afraid that they won't take you, you don't belong, so you have to just dump all over it.

          Bender: Well, it wouldn't have anything to do with you activities people being assholes, now would it?

          Claire: Well, you wouldn't know, you don't even know any of us.

          Bender: Well, I don't know any lepers, but I'm not going to run out and join one of their fucking clubs.

          Andrew : Hey! Let's watch the mouth, huh?

          Brian: I'm in the physics club too.

          Bender: Excuse me a sec. What are you babbling about?

          Brian: Well, what I had said was i'm in the math club, the latin and the physics club...physics club.

          Bender: Hey, Cherry! Do you belong to the physics club?

          Claire: That's an academic club.

          Bender: So?

          Claire : So academic clubs aren't the same as other kinds of clubs.

          Bender: Ah...but to dorks like him, they are. What do you guys do in your club?

          Brian: In physics we..uh..we talk about physics, properties of physics.

          Bender: So it's sorta social, demented and sad, but social. Right?

          Allison: Your middle name is Ralph, as in puke, your birthdate's March 12th, you're 5'9 and a half, you weigh 130 pounds and your social security number is 049380913.

          Andrew: Wow! Are you psychic?

          Allison: No.

          Brian : Well, would you mind telling me how you know all this about me?

          Allison : I stole your wallet.

          Claire : I hate it! I hate having to go along with everything my friends say!

          Bender: Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?

          Bender: Don't you ever talk about my friends! You don't know any of my friends. You don't look at any of my friends. And you certainly wouldn't condescend to speak to any of my friends. So you just stick to the things you know: shopping, nail polish, your father's BMW, and your poor, rich drunk mother in the Caribbean.

          Claire: Shut up!

          Bender: And as far as being concerned about what's gonna happen when you and I walk down the hallways of school together, you can forget it cuz it's never gonna happen. Just bury your head in the sand and wait for your f-----ng prom.

          Brian Johnson: I'm a f-----ng idiot because I can't make a lamp?

          John Bender: No. You're a genius because you can't make a lamp.

          Allison : I'll do anything sexual. I don't need a million dollars to do it either.

          Claire: You're lying.

          Allison : I already have. I've done just about everthing there is except a few things that are illegal. I'm a nymphomaniac.

          Claire: Lie.

          Brian : Are your parents aware of this?

          Allison : The only person I told was my shrink.

          Andrew : And what did he do when you told him?

          Allison: He nailed me.

          Claire : Very nice.

          Allison : I don't think that from a legal standpoint what he did can be construed as rape, since I paid him.

          Claire : He's an adult.

          Allison : Yeah, he's married too.

          Claire: Do you have any idea how completely gross that is?

          Allison : Well, the first few times...

          Claire : The first few times? You mean you did it more than once?

          Allison : Sure.

          Claire: Are you crazy?

          Brian : Obviously she's crazy if she's screwing a shrink.

          Allison : Have you ever done it?

          Claire: I don't even have a psychiatrist.

          Allison : Have you ever done it with a normal person?

          Claire : Didn't we already cover this?

          Bender: You never answered the question.

          Claire : Look, I'm not going to discuss my private life with total strangers.

          Allison: It's kind of a double edged sword isn't it?

          Claire: A what?

          Allison: Well, if you say you haven't, you're a prude. If you say you have you're a slut. It's a trap. You want to but you can't, and when you do you wish you didn't, right?

          Claire: Wrong.

          Allison: Or are you a tease?

          Andrew : She's a tease.

          Claire : I'm sure. Why don't you just forget it.

          Andrew : Oh, you're a tease and you know it. All girls are teases.

          Bender: She's only a tease if what she does gets you hot.

          Claire : I don't do anything.

          Allison: That's why you're a tease.

          Claire : OK, let me ask you a few questions.

          Allison : I already told you everything.

          Claire : No. Doesn't it bother you to sleep around without being in love. I mean, don't you want any respect?

          Allison : I don't screw to get respect. That's the difference between you and me.

          Claire: It's not the only difference I hope.

          Bender: Face it, you're a tease.

          Claire : I'm NOT a tease. Claire : No, I never said that she twisted my words around.

          Bender: What do you use it for then?

          Claire : I don't use it period!

          Bender: Oh, are you medically frigid or is it psychological?

          Claire : I didn't mean it that way! You guys are putting words into my mouth.

          Bender: Well, if you'd just answer the question.

          Brian : Why don't you just answer the question?

          Andrew: Be honest.

          Bender: No big deal.

          Brian : Yeah answer it.

          Andrew: Answer the question, Claire.

          Bender: Talk to us. Every one: C'mon, answer the question. Come on. Answer it!

          Bender: C'mon, it's easy. It's only one question.

          Claire: NO I NEVER DID IT!

          Allison : I never did it either. I'm not a nymphomaniac. I'm a compulsive liar.

          Bender: Hey, how come Andrew gets to get up? If he gets up, we'll all get up, it'll be anarchy!

          Bender: Brian, this is a very nutritious lunch. All the food groups are represented. Did your mom marry Mr. Rogers?

          Brian : Uh, no. Mr. Johnson.

          Andrew : You don't have any goals.

          Bender: Oh but I do.

          Andrew : Yeah?

          Bender: I wanna be just like you. I figure all I need, is a lobotomy and some tights.

          Brian: You wear tights?

          Andrew : No I don't wear tights. I wear the required uniform.

          Brian : Tights.

          Andrew: Shut up.

          Bender: Sporto.

          Andrew: What?

          Bender: You get along with your parents?

          Andrew: Well, if I say yes I'm an idiot, right?

          Bender: You're an idiot anyway. But if you say you get along with your parents, well, you're a liar too.

          Andrew: What do you need a fake I.D. for?

          Brian: So I can vote!

          Brian: Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it is we did wrong, but we think you're crazy for making us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club.

          Robbie: Remember, alcohol equals puke equals smelly mess equals nobody likes you!

          Harold's brother: I got a little newsflash for you, Pop. Harold ain't so perfect. Remeber when we were in Puerto Rico and we picked up those... well I guess they were prostitutes but I don't remember paying.

          Robbie: Now let's cut the stupid cake 'cause I know the fat guy's gonna have a heart attack if we don't eat again soon.

          Man: We're paying you to sing, not share your thoughts on life!

          Robbie: Well I have a microphone and you don't... so you will listen to every damn word I have to say!

          Robbie: When I put my mind to something, I go all the way. I'll go all the way for you, sir. I'm a big fan of money. I have a little. I keep it in a jar on top of my refrigerator. I wanna put more in that jar. That's where you come in.

          Robbie singing: You don't know how much I need you. / While you're near me, I don't feel blue. / And when we kiss I know you need me too. / I can't believe I found someone that's so pure and true. / But it all was bullshit! It was a goddamn joke! / And when I think of you, Linda, I hope you f-----ng choke!

          Robbie: Now please get out of my Van Halen T-shirt before you jinx the band and they break up.

          Robbie: Once again: things that should have been brought to my attention YESTERDAY!

          Robbie: Some of us will never ever find true love. Take, for instance...me. And I'm pretty sure that guy right there. And that lady with the sideburns. And basically everybody at table nine.

          Robbie Hart: Well, we're living in a material world, and I'm a material girl. Or Boy.

          Iona: Does he have... strong lips?

          Andie: How can you tell?

          Iona: Did you feel it in your knees?

          Andie: I felt it everywhere.

          Iona: Strong lips. [laughs] I know I'm old enough to be his mother, but when the Duck laid that kiss on me last night, I swear my thighs just went up in flames! He must practice on melons or something.

          Steff: I've been out with a lot of girls at this school. I don't see what makes you so different.

          Andie: I have some taste.

          Duckie: What now?

          [While listening to Barry Manilow's song "Mandy"]

          Denise: Besides, I heard that song was about his dog.

          Preston: It's not about a dog. It's about a woman named Amanda. Who the hell names their dog Amanda?

          Denise: My cousin had a dog name Samantha.

          Preston: Shut up about the dog, OK?!

          Denise: There's a mirror right there. Take a look, you're white.

          Preston: Now, I'm sitting in class enjoying a late breakfast when out of all the classrooms in the school, she walks into mine! And where does the teacher sit her? Right next to me! Up until now, one could write this off to coincidence. But then she reaches in her bag and pulls out a strawberry Pop-Tart---the very same breakfast pastry I was consuming at that moment! What was I to do? How was I to proceed?

          Denise: Fate works in really fucked up ways sometimes.

          Preston: Especially in your case.

          William Lichter: Tonight, Mike Dexter will know humiliation. Tonight Mike Dexter will know ridicule. Tonight is the night we fight back. Tonight is our independence night.

          Kenny : It say here ninety-two percent of the honeys at UCLA are sexually active. Ninety-two of the women in Los Angeles at UCLA walking around going, "Class... or sex? What shall I do?" Ninety-two percent, yo! Hey, you know what that means.

          Kenny's friend: What?

          Kenny r: It means I gots a ninety-two percent chance of embarrassing myself. I roll up on that shorty be like, "What's up yo?" she be like, "You don't know 20 different ways to make me call you Big Poppa" cuz I don't yo.

          Prostitute in Angel costume: There is fate, but it only takes you so far, because once you're there its up to you to make it happen.

          Chick: I've never told anyone this before, but I'm afraid of flying. So it would be very embarrasing to die now.

          Rockhound: You think that's bad? I owe 100 grand to a fat-ass loan shark which I spent on a stripper named Molly Mounds.

          Chick: Boy, that's bad.

          Chick: Man, what the hell are you doing with a gun on a spaceship?

          Chick: Right before A.J.'s dad died he told you to take care of his son. I don't think shooting him is taking care of him.

          Harry: I'm not gonna kill him, I'm just gonna shoot him in the leg. He can still work with one leg! Remember that one guy who worked all those years with one arm?

          Chick : Yep, but he wasn't very good.

          F.B.I. Agent: Sir, we have a national security matter.

          Rockhound: Good for you.

          Ronald Quincy: I know the presidents' chief advisor, we were at MIT together. And, at this point in time, you really don't want to take advice from a man who got a C minus in astrophysics. The presidents' advisors are wrong. I am right.

          Rockhound: Why do I do this? Three reasons: the pay is good, the scenery changes, and they let me use explosives.

          A.J.: Have you ever heard of Evel Knievel?

          Lev Andropov: No, I never saw Star Wars.

          Grace: A.J. is my choice!

          Harry : Choice? He's the only one here in your age bracket. That's not a choice, it's a lack of option.

          Grace: I understand that you are handicapped by a natural immaturity, and I forgive you.

          President: We didn't see this thing coming?

          Dan Truman: Well, our object collision budget allows us to track about 3% of the sky, and begging your pardon, but that's a big-ass sky.

          Rockhound: This is so much fun, it's freaky!

          Rockhound: Well it's about time, I haven't thrown up in about an hour.

          Harry: How long have you worked for me, A.J.?

          A.J.: Five wonderful years.

          Harry: And in those five years you have never apologized to me this quickly, now what going on here?

          General Kimsey: The fate of the planet is in the hands of a bunch of retards I wouldn't trust with a potato gun.

          Oscar: I'm, like, 98% excited, and maybe 2% scared. Or maybe it's backwards. Maybe I'm 98% scared, and, like, 2% excited. But that's what makes it so great---I'm so confused!

          Harry: Come on! You're NASA for Christ's sake! You're the ones who come up with this shit! Why I bet you have a bunch of guys sitting around somewhere right now just thinking shit up, and somebody backing them up. What's your contingency plan?

          Truman: Our contingency plan?

          Harry: Yeah, your back up plan. You've gotta have a back up plan

          . Truman: No, we don't have a back up plan.

          Harry: Houston, you have a problem.

          Rockhound: I hate it when I know everything!

          Rockhound: Hey Harry, you know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has two hundred thousand moving parts built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good doesn't it?

          Rockhound: Look, we've got front row tickets to the end of the earth!

          AJ: You know what I was thinking?

          Grace: What?

          AJ: I really don't think that the animal cracker qualifies as a cracker.

          Grace: Why?

          AJ: Well cause it's sweet, which to me suggests cookie, I mean well putting cheese on something is sort of a defining characteristic of what makes a cracker a cracker. I don't know why I thought of that, i just-

          Grace: Baby, you have such sweet pillow talk.

          AJ: Oh man. Well, we all gotta die, right? I'm the guy who gets to do it saving the world.

          Lev Andropov: American components, Russian components, all made in Taiwan!

          George: For me the Internet is just yet another way of being rejected by women.

          Kathleen: It's not someone else, it's the DREAM of someone else.

          Joe Fox: I like Patricia. I love Patricia. Patricia makes COFFEE nervous.

          Joe Fox: You're crazy about him--

          Kathleen Kelly: Yes. I am.

          Joe Fox: Then why don't you run off with him? What are you waiting for?

          Kathleen Kelly: I don't actually know him.

          Joe Fox: Really?

          Kathleen Kelly: We only know each other--oh, God, you're not going to believe this--

          Joe Fox: Let me guess. From the Internet.

          Kathleen Kelly: Yes.

          Joe Fox: You have mail.

          Kathleen Kelly: Yes.

          Joe Fox: Very powerful words.

          Kathleen Kelly: Yes.

          Joe Fox: The whole purpose of places like Starbuck's is for people with no decision-making ability whatsoever to make six decisions just to buy one cup of coffee. Short, tall, light, dark, caf, decaf, low-fat, non-fat, etc. So people who don't know what the hell they're doing or who on earth they are can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self: Tall! Decaf! Cappuccino!

          Next customer in line: I want a tall, decaf cappuccino.

          Kathleen Kelly": I wanted it to be you....I wanted it to be you soo bad
