Quotes 

  • Lelaina Pierce : I was really going to be somebody by the time I was 23.

    Troy Dyer : Honey, all you have to be by the time you're 23 is yourself.

    Lelaina Pierce : I don't know who that is anymore.

    Troy Dyer : I do. And we all love her. I love her. She breaks my heart again and again, but I love her.

  • Troy Dyer : There's no point to any of this. It's all just a... a random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes. So I take pleasure in the details. You know... a Quarter-Pounder with cheese, those are good, the sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain, the moment where your laughter become a cackle... and I, I sit back and I smoke my Camel Straights and I ride my own melt.

  • Troy Dyer : [On answering machine]  At the beep, please leave your name, number, and a brief justification for the ontological necessity of modern man's existential dilemma, and we'll get back to you

  • [assuming the question had no answer at all] 

    Lelaina : Can you define "irony"?

    Troy Dyer : It's when the actual meaning is the complete opposite from the literal meaning.

  • Michael Grates : Have I stepped over some line in the sands of coolness with you? Because excuse me if somebody doesn't know the secret handshake with you.

    Troy Dyer : There's no secret handshake. There's an IQ prerequisite, but there's no secret handshake.

  • Troy Dyer : [answering the phone]  Hello, you've reached the winter of our discontent.

  • Troy Dyer : I am not under any orders to make the world a better place.

  • Lelaina : I just don't understand why things just can't go back to normal at the end of the half hour like on the Brady Bunch or something.

    Troy Dyer : Well, 'cause Mr. Brady died of AIDS. Things don't turn out like that.

  • Troy Dyer : You can't navigate me. I may do mean things, and I may hurt you, and I may run away without your permission, and you may hate me forever, and I know that scares the living shit outta you 'cause you know I'm the only real thing you got.

  • Troy Dyer : I've wanted you like this for all these years.

  • Lelaina Pierce : I'd like to somehow make a difference in people's lives.

    Troy Dyer : And I... I would like to buy them all a Coke.

    Lelaina Pierce : And you wonder why we never got involved?

  • Troy Dyer : Well fuck me for being nice!

  • Troy Dyer : He's the reason Cliffs Notes were invented.

  • Troy Dyer : I'm picking up some very strange vibes. They're of the I-just-got-laid variety.

  • Vickie : Don't Bogart that can, man...

    Troy Dyer : Are you retarded?

    Vickie : No, I'm rhyming. It's not easy. Sure I make it look easy...

  • Troy Dyer : You look like a doily.

  • Troy Dyer : I'm bursting with fruit flavor.

  • Troy Dyer : I was told there'd be no math on this exam.

  • Troy Dyer : Did he dazzle you with his extensive knowledge of mineral water, or was it his in-depth analysis of, uh, uh, Marky Mark that finally reeled you in?

  • Troy Dyer : This girl is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

  • Troy Dyer : Honey, you can just exhale, 'cause it's not gonna happen.
