Reality Bites

This has got to be one of the coolest movies I have ever seen. Anyone who knows me realizes that I say that a lot, but I really mean it this time. I don't remember the last time I saw a movie that affected me this deeply. I've heard people say it's clichéd, but I think it's one of the most honest, if not original, films of the nineties.
I know there's not much here now, but there will be. I have yet to see a really awesome RB site so I've decided to MAKE one. I have some quotes that will probably eventually turn into the script, and some pictures (as you can see). I hope to put more here... but I already said that. Wish me luck. ; ]

Quotes

"...And they wonder why those of us in our twenties refuse to work an eighty-hour week so we can buy their BMWs. Why we're not interested in the counterculture they invented, as if we did not see them disembowl their revolution for a pair of running shoes. But the question remains: how do we repair all the damage we've inherited? Fellow graduates, the answer is simple. The answer is... I don't know."
--Lelaina Pierce, in her graduation speech (as valedictorian)

Troy: So what do you say, Lelaina?
Lelaina: I'm not a valedictorian but I play one on tv.
Troy: We all know you slept your way to the podium.

"I am going to take Sammy against his will, and straighten him out. Because if we can get two women on the Supreme Court, we can get at least one on you, Sam."
--Vickie Miner, post graduating, drunk and stoned on a rooftop with three of her closest friends

"Well, should I get married? Should I be good? Should I astound the girl next door with my velvet suit and my Faustus hood and not take her to movies, but to cemeteries and tell her of werewolf tongues and forked clarinets?"
--Troy Dyer, singing one of Hey, That's My Bike's sillier songs

Lelaina: You know what your problem is, Dyer?
Troy: What, I'm not a pepper?
Lelaina: No, no, no, see, you suffer from the philosopher-groupie syndrome.
Troy: Oh yeah? How's that?
Lelaina: Okay, you're this guy with like, a 180 IQ, 10 units away from a degree in philosophy, and you always fall for these dumb groupie types!
Troy: They're not all dumb, alright? Most of them are just very, very depressed.

"As you can see, I have an occasional run-in with an anti-Hey-That's-My-Biker. And to those people, I say nobody-- Nobody can eat fifty eggs." --Troy Dyer

Lelaina: Troy, aren't you excited?
Troy: I'm bursting with fruit flavor.

Troy: What Hey, That's My Bike would eventually like to do, as a band, is travel the countryside like Woodie Guthrie. Sammy: Or Richard Simmons. You know, he.. travels around the country, suprises people jogging...

"See, Laney? This is all we need. A couple of smokes, a cup of coffee, and some good conversation. You, me and five bucks." --Troy Dyer

Lelaina: I just worked so hard, y'know? I worked so hard. *pauses* Oh forget, I just sound pathetic.
Troy: No, you don't sound pathetic.
Lelaina: It's just that... It really meant something to me. I mean, I know it wasn't gonna... end world hunger, or save the planet or anything but, it really meant something to me. I was really going to be something by the age of 23.
Troy: Honey, all you have to be by the age of 23 is yourself.
