- Wooderson: That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.
- Wooderson: Man, it's the same bullshit they tried to pull in my day. If it ain't that piece of paper, there's some other choice they're gonna try and make for you. You gotta do what Randall Pink Floyd wants to do man. Let me tell you this, the older you do get the more rules they're gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep livin' man, L-I-V-I-N.
- Pink: All I'm saying is that if I ever start referring to these as the best years of my life - remind me to kill myself.
- Dawson: You know that Julie chick? Loves you. You want her? Gotta play it cool, you know. You can't let her know how much you like ?cause if she knows, she'll dump you like that. Believe me. Like, if she asks you if you want a ride, you say, "No, I've got my own ride, but maybe I'll see you later." Sounds stupid, doesn't it? It works.
- Cynthia: I call it the "every other decade" theory. The 50's were boring. The 60's rocked. The 70's, my god, they obviously suck. So maybe the 80s will be like, radical. I figure we'll be in our 20's and hey, it can't get any worse.
- Dawson: Well, all I'm saying is that I want to look back and say that I did I the best I could while I was stuck in this place. Had as much fun as I could while I was stuck in this place. Played as hard as I could while I was stuck in this place... Dogged as many girls as I could while I was stuck in this place.
- Pink: I may play ball next fall, but I will never sign that. Now me and my loser friends are gonna head out to buy Aerosmith tickets. Top priority of the summer.
- Jodi: Is that a beer in your hand?
- Mitch: Why, yes it is.
- Jodi: Have you had more than one of those?
- Mitch: Few. No one's counting.
- Jodi: When were you supposed to be home?
- Mitch: Few hours ago I think.
- Jodi: Thats bullshit. That's major bullshit. You know I was barely let out at your age?
- Mitch: Aww.
- Jodi: Aww. Well don't think she won't be waiting up for you. And she is tough. I've been through it.
- Mitch: Just don't ask her to take it easy on me.
- Slater: Didja ever look at a dollar bill, man? There's some spooky shit goin' on there. And it's green too.
- Slater: Behind every good man there is a woman, and that woman was Martha Washington, man, and everyday George would come home, she would have a big fat bowl waiting for him, man, when he come in the door, man, she was a hip, hip, hip lady, man.
- Ms. Ginny Stroud: Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you're being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth Of July brouhaha, don't forget what you're celebrating, and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes.
- Cynthia: God, don't you ever feel like everything we do and everything we've been taught is just to service the future?
- Tony: Yeah I know, like it's all preparation.
- Cynthia: Right. But what are we preparing ourselves for?
- Mike: Death.
- Tony: Life of the party.
- Mike: It's true.
- Cynthia: You know, but that's valid because if we are all gonna die anyway shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now? You know, I'd like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor insignificant preamble to something else.
- Wooderson: Let me tell you what Melba Toast is packin' right here, all right. We got 4:11 Positrac outback, 750 double pumper, Edelbrock intake, bored over 30, 11 to 1 pop-up pistons, turbo-jet 390 horsepower. We're talkin' some fuckin' muscle.
- O'Bannion: You are an embarrassment to the game of pool and should be glad I even let you play at my table.
- Cynthia: I'd like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor, insignificant preamble to somethin' else.
- Slater: This place used to be off limits, man, 'cause some drunk freshman fell off. He went right down the middle, smacking his head on every beam, man. I hear it doesn't hurt after the first couple though. Autopsy said he had one beer, how many did you have?
- Mitch: Four.
- Slater: You're dead, man, you're so dead. Look at the blood stains right there.
- Freshman Girl: Will you marry me?
- Dawson: I don't know. What's in it for me?
- Freshman Girl: Anything you want?
- Dawson: Anything?
- Freshman Girl: Anything.
- Dawson: [opening his mouth wide] Go like this. Do you spit or swallow?
- Freshman Girl: Whatever you like.
- Dawson: Whatever I like? I would definitely marry you.
- Jodi: Hey, I got a favour to ask you guys. You know my little brother?
- Benny O'Donnell: Yeah, Mitch Kramer
- Jodi: Ya, Mitch Kramer. Well, take it easy on him this summer will ya?
- Pink: Don't worry sis, little brother's safe with us.
- Jodi: Well just don't get him worse than the other guys. He's kinda little.
- [walks off]
- Benny O'Donnell: Ok. I promise.
- [Jodi walks off]
- Dawson: There was just a little bit of bullshit in all that right?
- Benny O'Donnell: Major bullshit. He's a dead man.
- Mitch: [after seniors threaten him] Er, Mr. Payne. Sir. You know every second that you could let us out early would really increase our chances of survival.
- Mr. Payne, junior high school teacher: It's like our sergeant told us before one trip into the jungle.
- [shouts]
- Mr. Payne, junior high school teacher: Men!
- [the boys jump]
- Mr. Payne, junior high school teacher: Fifty of you are leaving on a mission. Twenty-five of you ain't coming back.
- Mitch: Okay.
- Jodi: Heard they got you pretty bad.
- Mitch: Yeah.
- Jodi: They just got Hersh too
- Mitch: Was it bad?
- Sabrina Davis: Yeah.
- Mitch: Was it O'Bannion?
- Sabrina Davis: I think so
- Mitch: Man I hate that jerk!
- Sabrina Davis: Hey I didn't know Jodi was you're big sister
- Mitch: Oh, yeah
- Jodi: Hey, I hear my name over here? You guys talking about me? Mitch, I heard they got you pretty bad. Those guys... you know I asked them to take it easy on you?
- Mitch: What? Well no wonder!
- Wooderson: Yeah, well, listen. You ought to ditch the two geeks you're in the car with now and get in with us. But that's all right, we'll worry about that later. I will see you there. All right?
- Darla: What did she say? Like, what did she call me?
- Shavonne Wright: Nothing!
- Darla: Oh, come on, "nothing", I know you're lying when you do that. I know you're lying, you bitch.
- Simone: Come on, we know they talk about us, just tell us.
- Shavonne Wright: You swear you're not gonna get mad?
- Simone: I'm not gonna get mad, I'm just curious.
- Darla: I'm not gonna get mad, I think it's a riot. I don't care what she thinks.
- Shavonne Wright: OK, she called you a bitch and you a slut.
- Simone: A slut? She called me a slut? Oh my god, what a bitch.
- Shavonne Wright: [laughing] Simone, everybody calls you a slut.
- Darla: Oh, shit!
- Simone: Shavonne! That bitch, I'm gonna kick her ass!
- Shavonne Wright: I thought you said you weren't gonna get mad?
- Simone: I'm not mad.
- Tony: [to Sabrina about the hazing] We were just discussing the utter stupidity of these initiation rituals, and we were wondering how someone such as you would subject themselves to the losing end of it all.
- Jodi: What are we, having social hour over here? You're supposed to be being a bitch.
- Mike: [after Jodi takes Sabrina away] Am I mistaken or was there some unspoken thing between you and that young vixen... you stud.
- Tony: Well you know how it is.
- Mike: Yeah, I bet she's pretty cute once you clean all the shit off her.
- Tony: Yeah I bet she is.
- Mrs. Kramer, Mitch's Mother: Have you been drinking?
- Mitch: No
- [falls on bed and can't even take off both boots]
- Mrs. Kramer, Mitch's Mother: Are you drunk?
- Mitch: [clearly drunk] Psshh
- Dawson: Not bad for a little freshman but you gotta watch out for older girls
- Melvin Spivey: Hey. Come here. We just wanna know something. You gonna be fucking that tonight, or are you gonna be a little wimp?
- Mitch: [laughs] How do you know I haven't already
- Melvin Spivey: [clearly pleased, laughs] Go along man, I think its past your bedtime!
- Tony: [describing his dream] So there I am, getting it on with this perfect female body and...
- Mike: What?
- Tony: I can't say.
- Mike: No, you can't give a build-up like that and not deliver. You know, a perfect female body, it's not a bad start.
- Tony: But with the head of Abraham Lincoln. With the hat and the beard, everything.
- Clint: What did you just say?
- Mike: What?
- Clint: Just now, man. When you walked past, what'd you say?
- Mike: About what?
- Clint: You said, "Someone's tokin' some reefer."
- Mike: No, I meant somewhere I smell some pot, you know? It was just an observation.
- Clint: Oh, an observation, huh? Well who the hell are you, man? Isaac fucking Newton?
- Sabrina Davis: So what do you guys do... for fun I mean
- Jodi: Mostly hang out, y'know? There's gonna be a big party tonight, should be fun.
- Sabrina Davis: Oh, cool. Sounds fun.
- Jodi: [nice] You wanna come?
