Lloyd Dobler:
Why can't you be in a good mood? How hard is it to decide to be in a good mood and be in a good mood once in a while?"

Constance:
Gee, it's easy.

Lloyd Dobler:
One question: do you need someone or do you need me? - I don't care.

Diane Court:
I need you.

Corey Flood:
That'll never be me, that'll never be me. That'll never be, never be me. NO... NO, NEVER, NEVER, EVER. And don't you EVER THINK IT.

Lloyd Dobler:
Joe. Joe. She's written 65 songs... 65. They're all about you. They're all about pain.

Joe:
So what's up?

Corey Flood:
Brains stick with brains. The bomb could go off and their mutant genes would form the same cliques.

Constance:
Why do you eat that stuff? There's no food in your food.

Lloyd Dobler:
Hey my brother, can I borrow a copy of your "Hey Soul Classics"?

J-Man:
No, my brother, you have to go buy your own.

Lloyd Dobler:
She's gone. She gave me a pen. I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen.

Diane Court:
Are you shaking?

Lloyd Dobler:
No.

Diane Court:
You're shaking.

Lloyd Dobler:
I don't think so.

Diane Court:
You're cold.

Lloyd Dobler:
I don't think I am.

Diane Court:
Then why are you shaking?

Lloyd Dobler:
I don't know. I think I'm happy.

Diane Court:
Nobody thinks it will work, do they?

Lloyd Dobler:
No. You just described every great success story.

Lloyd Dobler:
I am looking for a dare to be great situation.

Lloyd Dobler:
The rain on my car is a baptism, the new me, Ice Man, Power Lloyd, my assault on the world begins now.

Corey Flood:
Diane Court doesn't go out with guys like you. She's a brain.

D.C.:
Trapped in the body of a game-show hostess.

Mike Cameron:
I don't know you very well, you know, but I wanted to ask you - how'd you get Diane Court to go out with you?

Lloyd Dobler:
I called her up.

Mike Cameron:
But how come it worked? I mean, like, what are you?

Lloyd Dobler:
I'm Lloyd Dobler.

Mike Cameron:
This is great. This gives me hope. Thanks.

Lloyd Dobler:
I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.

Diane Court:
I just can't have any social life right now.

Lloyd Dobler:
Don't worry about it. We're just having coffee. We'll be anti-social.

Diane Court:
Be friends?

Lloyd Dobler:
Yeah. With potential.

Lloyd Dobler:
I got a question. If you guys know so much about women, how come you're here at like the Gas 'n' Sip on a Saturday night completely alone drinking beers with no women anywhere?

Joe:
By choice, man.

Lloyd Dobler:
You probably got it all figured out, Corey. If you start out depressed everything's kind of a pleasant surprise.

D.C.:
Lloyd, why do you have to be like this?

Lloyd Dobler:
'Cause I'm a guy. I have pride.

Corey Flood:
You're not a guy.

Lloyd Dobler:
I am.

Corey Flood:
No. The world is full of guys. Be a man. Don't be a guy.

Jim Court:
You're not a permanent part of her life. You're a distraction.

Lloyd Dobler:
I'm the distraction that's going with her to England, sir.

Lloyd Dobler:
What I really want to do with my life - what I want to do for a living - is I want to be with your daughter. I'm good at it.

Diane Court:
Am I wrecking my car?

Lloyd Dobler:
"Yeah... a little."

Lloyd Dobler:
You must chill. You must chill.

Lloyd Dobler:
How many of them really know what they want, though? I mean, a lot of them think they have to know, right? But inside they don't really know, so... I don't know ,but I know that I don't know.

Corey Flood:
Hi Joe, How are you? I love you.

Joe:
I love you too.

Corey Flood:
You invade my soul

Joe:
I want to get back together, Mimi is gonna go to college and I'm gonna be alone and I'm gonna break up with her before she leaves, have sex with me.

Lloyd Dobler:
Kickboxing. Sport of the future.

Diane Court:
I have this theory of convergence, that good things always happen with bad things. I know you have to deal with them at the same time, but I just don't know why they have to happen at the same time. I just wish I could work out some schedule. Am I just babbling? Do you know what I mean?

Lloyd Dobler:
No.

D.C.:
Why don't you just call her again?

Lloyd Dobler:
I draw the line at 7 unreturned phone calls.

Lloyd Dobler:
Okay, how ya doing? I'm Lloyd, and we're gonna watch the movie "Coccoon." I've never actually seen it, but I heard its very good, it makes you happy. Its about a group of people who go to outer space... hope I didnt give anything away there.

Lloyd Dobler:
Just knowing that a version like that exists, knowing that just for a minute she felt that and wrote "I can't help loving you". That has to be worth something.

Lloyd Dobler:
I'm gonna take Diane Court out again.

Corey Flood:
Well, that's unlikely.

Lloyd Dobler:
Is the movies a good second date? You know, as a date?

Corey Flood:
Well, you never had a first date.

Lloyd Dobler:
Yes we did. I sat across from her at a mall. We ate together. We ate. That's eating. Sharing an important physical event.

Corey Flood:
That's not even a scam.

Lloyd Dobler:
What's a scam?

Corey Flood:
Going out as friends.

D.C.:
No, it's not. Scam is lusting.

Corey Flood:
Did you sleep with her?

Lloyd Dobler:
I admit nothing.

D.C.:
Lloyd, it's us.

Corey Flood:
Look at his face. He did the deed.

D.C.:
You're an inspiration, Lloyd. You should go on the 700 Club or something.

Diane Court:
Nobody knew me before tonight.

Lloyd Dobler:
They knew of you. Now they know you.

Lloyd Dobler:
Oh... you must think I'm a dick.

Diane Court:
No, Lloyd, we shared the most intimate thing two people can share...

Lloyd Dobler:
You shared it with a dick.

Corey Flood:
I'm sorry, it's just that you're a really nice guy and we don't want to see you get hurt.

Lloyd Dobler:
I want to get hurt!
