Quotes 

• Laurie Henderson : [quoting from Curt]  "It doesn't make sense to leave home to look for home, to give up a life to find a new life, to say goodbye to friends you love just to find new friends".

• [last lines] 

  John Milner : I know, uh... you probably think you're a big shot, goin' off like this...

  John Milner : [he slaps Curt]  ... but you're still a punk.

  Curt Henderson : OK, John... So long... So long!

  [Steve, Terry, Laurie and John wish Curt goodbye] 

  Terry Fields : Have a good trip!

  Laurie Henderson : Bye, Curt. Good-bye!

• Steve Bolander : I thought, maybe before I leave, we could agree that... that seeing other people while I'm away can't possibly hurt, you know.

  Laurie Henderson : You mean dating other people?

  Steve Bolander : I think it would strengthen our relationship. Then we'd know for sure that we're really in love. Not that there's any doubt.

• Bob Falfa : Hey, hey, hey, baby. What do you say?

  Laurie Henderson : Don't say anything and we'll get along just fine.

• Laurie Henderson : Come on, Curt. We can't be spending half the night chasing girls after you.

  Curt Henderson : Laurie, I'm telling you, this was the most perfect, dazzling creature I've ever seen!

  Steve Bolander : She's gone. Forget it.

  Curt Henderson : She spoke to me! She spoke to me, right through the window! I think she said, "I love you." That means nothing to you people? You have no romance, no soul? She - someone wants me. Someone roaming the streets wants me! Will you turn the corner?

• Laurie Henderson : Get your cooties off me!

• Laurie Henderson : Come on.

  Steve Bolander : Come on, what?

  Laurie Henderson : Steven, please. Smile or something.

  Steve Bolander : Quit pinching!

  Laurie Henderson : You think I care if you go off? You think I'm gonna crack up or something? Boy, are you conceited!

  Steve Bolander : I don't know why I ever asked you out!

• Steve Bolander : What's wrong?

  Laurie Henderson : [emotionally]  Go to hell!

• Laurie Henderson : [to Steve]  I don't care if you leave this second!

• [John and Falfa arrive at Paradise Road for their drag race. John then suddenly notices that Laurie is with Falfa] 

  John Milner : Hey, Laurie, what in hell are you doin' in there?

  [to Falfa] 

  John Milner : Is she gonna ride with you?

  Laurie Henderson : Mind your own business, John!

  Bob Falfa : Yeah, she's goin' with me. You take care of yourself, man.

• Laurie Henderson : Go ahead, slug me, scar my face! I wouldn't dance with you if you were the last guy left in this gym!

• Steve Bolander : Oh, come on. You want it and you know it. Don't be so damn self-righteous with me. After all that stuff you told me about watching your brother.

  Laurie Henderson : You're disgusting! Get out of my car! Get out!

  Steve Bolander : Laurie.

  Laurie Henderson : I told you never to mention that!
