Quotes
-
Charles De Mar : [27:10] Lane, I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy. I know high school girls.
-
Charles De Mar : [33:51] This is pure snow! It's everywhere! Do you have any idea what the street value of this mountain is?
-
Charles De Mar : [35:00] Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn.
-
Charles De Mar : And dying when you're not really sick is really sick, you know. Really!
-
Charles De Mar : Suicide is never the answer, little trooper.
-
Charles De Mar : [27:37] The K-12 dude. You make a gnarly run like that and girls will get sterile just looking at you.
-
Charles De Mar : [15:34] Suicide is never the answer, little trooper. Greendale is a bodaciously small town, Lane. A fly speck on the map - a rest stop on the way to the ski slope. I can't even get real drugs here!
[holds up a bottle of whipped cream]
-
Charles De Mar : [about Lane] Man, you're the hottest thing since sunburns!
-
Lane Myer : [talking about skiing the K-12] Look Charles, I gotta do this. If I don't, I'll be nothing. I'll end up like my neighbor Ricky Smith. He just sits around crocheting all day and snorting nasal spray.
Charles De Mar : He snorts nasal spray? Know where I can score some?
Lane Myer : ARE YOU GONNA HELP ME OR NOT?
-
Charles De Mar : Wait, wait a minute...
[starts to snort snow off his top hat]
Charles De Mar : [sniff] Oh.
[shouts]
Charles De Mar : Oh! Ugh! Outrageous!
[raises right hand]
Charles De Mar : [shouts] I think I just froze the left half of my brain!
[waves arm in circles]
Charles De Mar : [shouts] Look! I can't move my right arm!
Lane Myer : This isn't funny, Charles! If I don't have a dream, I have nothing!
Charles De Mar : Ah, come on! It's Christmas Eve! I could be home right now, drinking this *monster* eggnog my brother makes with lighter fluid.
-
Charles De Mar : Buck up little camper, we'll beat that slope together.
-
Roy Stalin : You'd make a fine little helper. What's your name?
Charles De Mar : Charles De Mar.
Roy Stalin : Shut up, geek.
-
Roy Stalin : Alright, who wants to hold my clipboard?
[Beth raises her hand]
Roy Stalin : Well you'll make a fine little helper. What's your name?
Charles De Mar : [Thinking Roy has referenced him] Charles De Mar!
Roy Stalin : Shut up, geek.
[to Beth]
Roy Stalin : What's YOUR name?
-
Charles De Mar : Oh, buck up, little camper. We'll beat that slope together.
-
Charles De Mar : Lane... what are you doing?
Lane Myer : Nothing.
Charles De Mar : Yes... you... are!
