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!
