Quotes
-
Layne : It's people like you that are sending this country down the tubes. No sense of pride. No sense of loyalty. No sense of NOTHING, man.
-
Clarissa : You didn't have to call me a stupid bitch.
Layne : You would of driving right past us. We had to yell something.
Matt : You yelled it Layne.
Clarissa : I got a name you know. You're lucky I didn't just drive right home.
Layne : OKay, okay, okay. I'm sorry *Clarissa*, but you've got to understand that in a time like this where every fucking second counts, a man can't waste his time choosing words.
-
Layne : Budweiser? You'd think I'd at least rate a Michelob... Ah, and it's warm even!
-
Layne : This is like some fuckin' movie. Friends since second grade, fuckin' like THIS
[crosses fingers]
Layne : and then one of us gets himself in potentially BIG trouble, and now we've gotta deal with it; we've got to test our loyalty against ALL odds. It's kind of... exciting. I feel like... Chuck Norris, y'know?
-
Layne : The *things* I do for my *fucking* *friends*.
-
Clarissa : [as Layne drives] I feel real twisted right now. Twisted, like I should just go to the cops, and just tell them where John is.
Layne : [holding up a finger] I wouldn't even joke about that, Clarissa.
Clarissa : What would you do, kill me? You'd love that, I'll bet. You and John could run off and be outlaws together. But first, to show off to your friends, strap my dead body to the top of your car and drive all over town.
Layne : [causing him to slam on the brakes] Get out!
Clarissa : What?
Layne : You don't understand a goddamn thing, do you? Jamie is dead, dammit! And there's nothing that we can do to save her. Now I happened to like Jamie. But John is still alive. Don't you see that?
Clarissa : And who's next on his list?
[exasperated, Layne reaches over, and throws open the door for her]
Clarissa : You're just gonna leave me here? What if John's around?
Layne : [giggles] Ask him to forgive you. Here... here's your money. We don't need this shit.
[she climbs out]
Matt : [leaning over from back seat] We can't just leave her alone like this.
Layne : Okay. Fuck!
[glaring at him in rear-view mirror]
Layne : You stay here, and you protect her. I should have known that I was the only one that can handle a crisis. Do you want your money back, too?
Matt : Keep my money, Layne.
[climbs out]
-
Layne : Hurry your ass.
-
Layne : I know, Feck. Women are evil, you had to kill her.
-
Layne : Two dollars and money for gas. One of us should get a job, or... something.
-
Layne : It's circuits inside. The people that own this place have them all reconnected caused they know that if I ever learn this machines I'll take control the fucking universe.
-
Kim : [opening door for unwanted visitor] He's not here.
Layne : Yeah? Where'd he go?
Kim : To buy an egg. Goodbye.
[tries closing door]
Layne : Hold on there, little lady.
Kim : I said he's not here.
Layne : I believe you. Can I... can I use your phone?
Kim : No.
Layne : [entering] Your Mommy and Daddy home?
Kim : Mommy's at work, Jim's at a bar. I don't have a daddy.
Layne : [inside, going as he pleases] Oh.
-
Tony : Gimme a cigarette, man.
Layne : You fucking gave up cigarettes.
Tony : I gave up yesterday, not today.
Layne : I gave up lending.
[hands over the cigarette anyway]
Layne : Learn some self-control, you're interrupting.
[to Matt:]
Layne : Go on.
Matt : I don't know. I just figured we could dump this place, you know? Go up there, and if we like it, we stay, don't come back.
Clarissa : [not impressed] Where did you get Portland?
Matt : Well, nobody knows us up there.
Clarissa : People know us here?
Layne : [mimicking Sonny & Cher, his hand wandering] I know you, babe.
Clarissa : [brushing him off] That's really annoying, Layne.
Layne : [to Matt:] So what, man? We could be lumberjacks or something?
Matt : There's other things to do.
Layne : Like what?
Maggie : Like getting stoned.
[laughter]
Layne : It almost sounds like a plan. Except we're all broke, and I'm the only one with a car.
Tony : We could just take all our parents' money, take off, discover America, and make like we're Easy Rider plus five.
Clarissa : [checking Maggie's wristwatch] Shit, I gotta go. Burkewaite's gonna have a spaz attack if I'm late again.
Layne : [taunting] She's in love with his middle-aged ass.
Clarissa : He's not middle-aged, asshole.
[to new arrival coming up:]
Clarissa : Hi, John.
Layne : [to Samson] Didn't think you'd make it today. Where's Jamie?
Samson : I killed her.
Clarissa : [to Maggie] She's gonna be in big trouble if she keeps ditching like this.
Maggie : [to Samson] You what?
Samson : I killed her.
Maggie : [decides he's talking nonsense] You're strange, John.
[the two girls walk off to class]
