The Sure Thing (1985) Edit

A cosmic Adam and Eve, if you will...

A day like this, you get to thinking you're the only person on Earth.

A girl.

A good hot mug of tea.

A sure thing, no questions asked, no strings attached

A sure thing?

A sure thing.

A sure thing.

After 700, though, we can have a snack.

After tonight, you'll never have to deal with these simple high school girls again.

Alison, do you know what you are?

Alison, where are you going?

All right.

All right.

All right. It is stupid. What's wrong with being stupid once in a while?

All they want is to stay indoors, smoke cigarettes and relate. I don't like them.

Am I interrupting anything?

And 8 for you.

And all the beer will slide down to your throat in two seconds.

And eat it, just for pleasure!

And even if you do bullshit me, you still get it.

And fall asleep, and wake up in California.

And folks dressed up like Eskimos

And have them defy gravity.

And he's run out of bounds at midfield by Jimbo Maccavechi!

And I can't figure if it's worth the effort to send it in.

And I think I'll take your wife, if you don't mind.

And I work my way up from shakes to burgers...

And I'm a good looking guy.

And I'm late because of it.

And if it's a boy...

And it's Christmastime, and I'm gonna buy you a drink.

And Jupiter aligns with Mars

And love will steer the stars

And not all with the same girl.

And so we're gonna be with you in just a minute.

And still have an excellent time?

And tell me I can make a quick $300 just for driving a van back from Mexico.

And then I got to get a job, and you know what that means.

And then, one day, my lucky break comes.

And this lavender ink.... Would you lose that?

And we're both crazy about basset hounds.

And wear something white at night.

And you can use this half of the closet.

And you, cowboy guy, what do you want to drink?

And, as I believe, sausage stain.

Andromeda. She was the princess who was chained to a rock.

Andromeda's there, too, next to Cassiopeia.

Anyone else want to volunteer?

Anything good on?

Anyway, my father.... He grew up on a farm.

Anyways...

Are obscured in a morass of marginal grammar...

Are you 21?

Are you all right?

Are you sure you'll be okay?

Are you sure?

As a matter of fact, I think that's hysterical.

As they hurtled towards their final destination:

At the head of the largest, most powerful known rocket...

Back. Give Hercules some room.

Barkeep, give this man a trough of spritzer.

Be careful crossing streets

Because he's not worth mentioning. He's a creep.

Because I'm the kind of guy that likes to live on the edge.

Because she's leaving the next day for a semester at sea.

Because she's leaving the next day for a semester at sea.

Because you wanted it to snow in July?

Because you wouldn't help me in English. No!

Before you go any further, let's be honest.

Believe me, I've looked.

Bound together in a sophisticated nerve center...

Boy, am I glad she's dead.

Break!

Buddy, you getting any?

But I couldn't help myself.

But it made me feel really small.

But not the Gary Cooper that's dead.

But that is completely inferred.

But that wasn't me.

But the day I have to start, some men come in a black Lincoln Continental...

But there's one thing you could see.

But with a delicate touch.

But with you it's different.

But with you it's different. I feel I can talk to you.

But with you, it's different.

But would you mind if I take up a moment of your time?

But you gotta drag your ass out here by the 22nd...

But you gotta drag your ass out here by the 22nd...

But, knock on wood, I still have my health.

Button up your overcoat when the wind is free

By the time we find our farmhouse...

California.

Can you forgive me?

Can't you try and look on the bright side?

Careful, she hogs all the blankets.

Change "tits" to "generous scoops of mouthwatering flesh."

Change a $5?

Charming.

Check out those guys. Wonder what they majored in.

Cheese balls and beer for breakfast!

Cheese balls, anyone? Gary? They're good.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Chestnuts roasting on the fire

Classes are classes.

Clean it up.

Clear, freshwater streams, fragrant meadows...

Come here.

Come on in.

Come on, everybody.

Come on, Giblet, one more time.

Come on, I want to get a good seat.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, we're gonna be late for class.

Come to mama, boys!

Confident. Creative.

Consider outer space.

Creative spelling...

Credit cards work on a completely different kind of lock.

Cut out sweets

Dear Lance, the campus here is beautiful.

Did he mention what a great dancer I am?

Didn't you ever get really shitfaced, and make a complete fool out of yourself...

Didn't you ever sprinkle lvory Flakes on the floor...

Do the "ooh ooh's."

Do you ever eat food that you think is bad for you?

Do you have any beer?

Do you know this person?

Do you know what I mean?

Do you know what I mean?

Does everything you do always have to be sensible?

Don't eat meats

Don't give you a hard time, like they do here.

Don't move, because she's here.

Don't worry, Mom, I'll take the garbage out in the morning, I promise.

Don't worry. I'll figure something out.

Don't you feel great when you do something totally spontaneous?

Don't you want to give me a ride?

Don't you worry about me. You go have a good trip.

Double bourbon and a beer chaser.

During the first Gemini mission, some thought was actually given...

Earl Grey.

Eat food that is bad for you, at least once in a while.

Eighty six the pen, and then in one swift....

Elliot is a fat kid with glasses who eats paste.

Elliot? You're gonna name the kid Elliot?

English Breakfast.

Everybody knows

Everything's fine. Really.

Everything's stupid with you.

Excellent.

Excellent. Very pregnant.

Except that your paper is....

Excuse me, I'd like to get some punch.

Excuse me, won't you?

Excuse me.

Excuse me. I see a sweet young thing whose sarong needs adjusting.

Express your ideas very clearly.

Feelings of love!

Feelings, nothing more than feelings

Fine, I'll sleep on the floor.

Five minutes. A grace period, if you will.

Fixate on it.

Flannel sheets.

For a beginner, it's amazing what you just did.

For all you kids watching, this is very dangerous.

For anyone to be grateful for anything nice you might have done.

For you.

Forget it.

Forget it. She likes the intellectual type.

Fried pork rinds, anyone?

From Hawaii.

From the time of the first NASA mission, it became evident...

Gary, do something.

Gary, they're at it again.

Gee, Dad will be pissed off. Mom will be heartbroken.

Get a life.

Get a totally bitchin' education out there, dude.

Get out of my life.

Get out!

Get them out of the way.

Gib, are you okay?

Gibson, all pro safety out of Grambling, makes another sparkling defensive jam.

Gibson, with the interception! And he's got some running room!

Gibson, with the interception! And he's got some running room!

Gibson.

Gin.

Girls like virgins. They find them a challenge.

Give him a name.

Go for it, you've earned it.

Go on.

God, I'm starving.

Good morning, everybody.

Good night, Alison.

Good night, Gib.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Good. Cheetos in Albuquerque. I can hardly wait.

Great.

Guys, this is Gib, the guy I told you about. I said he'd make it.

Have conversations with people whose clothes are not color coordinated.

Have fun with your sure thing.

Haven't you ever thrown water balloons off the roof?

He always thought it was a real shame that we only saw the suburbs.

He doesn't know Cassiopeia's the mother of Andromeda.

He says you're a real gourmet.

He thinks love is something you order on the phone, like a pizza!

He used to take us on great camping trips. Want more wine?

He was a traitor!

He's having an outstanding year.

He's kind of going through a little climate adjustment.

He's to the 30, to the 40...

He's to the 30, to the 40...

He's up there, too, next to Andromeda.

Hear that? Those are waves calling out to you.

Hell, I could use a torrid night of cheap, meaningless lust.

Here we are.

Here you go.

Here, let me take that from you. It's really great to see you.

Here, try some of my veal.

Hi, welcome aboard.

High school.

Home fries, four pieces of toast, and then lunch!

Home of the waves and the babes. I want you to meet some people.

Honey, what's the matter? You're not singing.

Hop in.

Hope things are going as good for you. Your pal, Gib.

How about tonight?

How about, "Did you know that Shakespeare died of syphilis?"

How are you doing, buddy?

How could you lose your money?

How did you expect to get to California on $18.77?

How do you know what he eats for breakfast?

How does that sound?

How is Jason, anyway?

How long it'll take us to get there, how many meals we have to have.

How much do you got there?

How would you like a sexual encounter so intense...

How would you like to go up to Lance's room for a drink?

How's this for an opening line:

How's your lawyer?

Howdy.

I bought some of those hangers you like so much.

I can talk to you.

I can't afford the flight.

I can't deal with striking out on both coasts.

I can't. Tomorrow, I promise.

I cleared out this drawer for you.

I computed exactly how much money we have...

I decided I want to meet this guy.

I didn't know the difference between the stars and the planets, then.

I didn't mean that you should dot the i's with little flowers.

I didn't say it. Lance said it.

I do.

I do. You're coming to California.

I don't believe that.

I don't know what I want.

I don't know what I'll do.

I don't know why I said those things, I'm really not like that. Please.

I don't know why. I just really wanted to go outside.

I don't know. I'm almost 19. Maybe I'm getting too old for this.

I don't need to explain the deep significance of those words.

I don't think I want this ride after all.

I don't think it sounds specific enough.

I don't think she believes me.

I don't think you understand. I have a credit card.

I don't want to throw your schedule off.

I feel awkward and shy.

I feel I can talk to you.

I feel really terrible about Friday night.

I got exams after Christmas.

I got it.

I got my CB. But that's not real talk.

I got one of them sweepstakes flyers in the mail today...

I got up at 6:00 this morning, and I've been driving ever since.

I guess that sounds kind of tame to you.

I had fried food again for lunch today.

I have $20. You can have $50.

I have a credit card.

I have to go kick the shit out of someone. Just one second.

I have to go to the library. I'm really behind.

I hope he gets a ride, but some people just don't know when to put a lid on it.

I hope you fully appreciate the magnitude of your impending good fortune.

I just can't afford to fly. My parents will only pay if I go to see them.

I just can't motivate myself the way I used to.

I just remembered, I got to check something.

I just swallowed my gum.

I just want it to be nice and warm and cozy.

I just want to get on that bus, and tilt the seat back...

I knew I should've taken the bus.

I know I shouldn't have had it...

I know what an important part voyeurism plays in your daily life...

I know, but what is he like? I mean, what kind of beer does he drink?

I know.

I know. I can't wait to get to California to see my boyfriend.

I love you, too.

I love you.

I love you.

I mean, a guy who would rip your heart out...

I mean, a real deranged, violent psycho. You know what I mean?

I mean, I could be some crazed slimeball.

I mean, it's only fair. Last night, I slept on the bed

I miss you, Jason.

I never met anyone like you before. Usually, when I meet someone new...

I really don't want to wear this stuff. I really don't.

I really want to see you.

I started off so hot. Sophomore year, two times.

I talk about the cheese to sauce ratio right there.

I think he's got a cute ass.

I think I've done my share of living, haven't l?

I think it's a scream. An absolute laugh riot.

I told her all about you, and she's dying to meet you.

I trust you.

I wanted to be a princess.

I was in Paris once, with my wife.

I was just kidding, there.

I was overwhelmed.

I was rude, insensitive, selfish....

I will send you the article on civil liability, I promise.

I woke up in the middle of the night, and I had to get outside.

I won't try anything, I swear.

I won't try anything, I swear.

I won't try anything, I swear.

I wouldn't take that ride, if I were you.

I'll call you tomorrow.

I'll do anything!

I'll get by.

I'll get it.

I'll give you.... Watch this!

I'll probably go home.

I'll sing show tunes!

I'll take that as a no.

I'll tell you, I am not rewriting my English paper. I have a social life.

I'm coming.

I'm floundering in a sea of confusion and total despair.

I'm flunking English. I was wondering if maybe you could help me out.

I'm freezing to death.

I'm getting a hive.

I'm going to bed in a bed that you happen to be in, also.

I'm gonna have a huge orange juice, three eggs, two sides of bacon...

I'm gonna miss you.

I'm here.

I'm intellectual, and stuff.

I'm just gonna go out on the veranda thing for a while.

I'm not a big fish guy, so you take it.

I'm not being unfaithful to anyone.

I'm not going to bed with you.

I'm not gonna eat that, but you try the veal

I'm not gonna sing if they're not gonna join in.

I'm really gonna miss you.

I'm really sorry.

I'm so far behind, I haven't even picked out a theme for my English Lit term paper.

I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.

I'm sorry, okay?

I'm sorry!

I'm standing there, looking up at the sky, and I'm thinking...

I'm starving.

I'm talking about a total maniac!

I'm talking absolute blackness.

I'm talking to you cordless. What are you doing for Christmas break?

I'm the kind of gal who likes to live on the edge.

I've been thinking it over. I'm gonna hitch.

I've got a very pleasant surprise today. Comes from an unlikely source.

I've got this great big bed, and no one to share it with.

I've never seen so much corduroy in one place.

If I flunk English, I'm out of here.

If I play my cards right, I get maybe a six month's grace period...

If it's a girl, Cynthia.

Iiving in a flophouse. No job...

In fact, there's plenty of action.

In high school, I was delegate to the mock UN in New York City.

In one swift, deft motion, you're gonna take it...

In order to write about it.

In the middle of nowhere!

Is he funny? Does he make you laugh?

Is this shirt good?

It came out to one meal every 200 miles.

It could conceivably change your political views?

It could happen to me someday. I doubt it, but it could. You nervous?

It gets lonely on the road.

It gets lonely on the road.

It is called The Sure Thing.

It sounds like someone's having a party. Let's go. It'll be fun.

It sounds nice.

It was all set up by his friend.

It was dark. I mean, totally dark.

It was so good.

It was so masterful. Relentless...

It's a twisted relationship.

It's an ancient tribal custom. Originated in Southeast Asia, I believe.

It's been a long time since I've held you like this.

It's Friday night!

It's gone, I've lost it.

It's good? See, I told you.

It's important that this place should have an airtight security system...

It's just that we both like old farmhouses.

It's like riding a bike. You just got to climb on and keep pedaling.

It's locked! This is very good.

It's not easy getting rides, you know?

It's not what you say that counts, but how you say it.

It's not you. It's these high school girls, here.

It's nothing. Particularly not that girl at the punch bowl.

It's on me tonight. Drinks are on me.

It's open.

It's over, Lance.

It's so good to see you.

It's the girls at this school.

It's the thought that counts.

It's too stuffy, let's go get some air.

It's true.

It's your own fault. You could be coming out to California with me.

Its giant thrusters blasting into the dark void...

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Jason is the real outdoorsy type.

Jason is very directed. He's a real achiever.

Jason thinks it would make a good investment.

Jason, I don't think so. It's gonna take me a bit longer than I anticipated.

Jason, let's go to bed.

Jason.

Jason.

Jason's fine.

Junior year was excellent. Four times.

Just a little mad.

Just let me sleep awhile, regain my strength.

Just remember that every relationship starts with a one night stand.

Katherine, when I told you that you should develop your own style...

Keep your shirt on, buddy, you're doing great.

Kids, come on. Let's make this a fun trip, okay?

Kind of guy who doesn't mind if you puke in his car.

Kind of like this.

Kiss college goodbye.

Lance said you were very shy around girls.

Lance sure does drink a lot of beer.

Last call for bus number 33, leaving for St. Louis...

Leave me alone. I'm a pregnant woman.

Let's dance.

Let's do something pointless, something totally crazy.

Let's go.

Let's not try this at home, all right?

Let's see, Lapsang Souchong, for those rainy mornings.

Let's see, that makes 25 for me...

Let's see, we've got some Darjeeling...

Let's see. Friday.

Life is the ultimate experience.

Listen, I appreciate the food. But I'm not in the mood...

Listen, tonight I'll sleep on the floor.

Listen. Can you hear that?

Lonely.

Look at these people.

Look, what do you say we blow this off and go exploring?

Look.

Looking good. Glad you made it. Welcome to California...

Loosen up, Alison. Have some fun.

Los Angeles is a long way for a little girl like you to be going.

Make it just big enough to fit your mouth over it.

Make love in a hammock!

May be a real brain and all, but can he do this?

Maybe he's on a camping trip, and he's looking up at the stars.

Maybe I'm past my prime.

Maybe one will come up.

Me and the wife are just having a little squabble.

Me, neither.

Millions of things, really.

Miss Duran, this is very interesting.

Most people are afraid to pick up hitchhikers.

Ms. Bradbury.

My best friend, Lance, set it up.

My dad told me, specifically, I can only use it in case of an emergency.

My feet are killing me.

My goodness, they'll be incredible, won't they?

My lawyer?

My roommate and I have an understanding.

My roommate's got a convertible. We cruise to Palm Springs.

My roommate's got this beach house in Malibu.

My whole life, I never had a sure thing.

Nice swimsuit.

Nice.

Nick's a real name. Nick's your buddy.

Nick's the kind of guy you can trust, someone you can drink beer with.

Nietzsche's too obscure.

No guilt involved.

No home, no upward mobility, very few teeth.

Not gonna name the kid Elliot. Got to give him a real name.

Not like in the city, or even in the suburbs.

Not really.

Nothing gets done on a Friday night. Come on.

Now, why would we want to do that?

Of course I'm still coming out there for Christmas.

Of course. China Black.

Oh, dang!

Oh, God!

Okay.

On a tour of Graceland, I passed out in Elvis' bedroom.

One night, I was sleeping in my pup tent with my younger brother.

One of them even looks like it might be interesting.

One tequila eggnog.

One, one thousand, two, one thousand, three, one thousand.

One, one thousand, two, one thousand, three, one thousand.

Only if you try some of this salmon.

Or a pinball machine, or something. Whatever, but he's up there.

Ordinarily, the conclusion comes in the end of the paper, but....

Over there!

Over there. There's a trailer, come on.

P.S. All of the above is bullshit.

Paris women...

Party!

Pepperoni.

Please, allow me.

Please.

Please.

Private Gibson! Incoming!

Probably never meet her anyway. She's gonna be gone in 24 hours.

Probably not.

Promise.

Pull it up, and then release the cork. Not the cork, this thing...

Put it on the bill. That'd be great.

Real shame.

Really nice.

Really?

Really?

Remember that camping trip to Vermont?

Remember, "As the dog returneth to his own vomit...

Restores both body and spirit. Let's see what we have this week.

See you then.

See, I want to tell you...

Senior year looked like the best. The first day of classes, then nothing.

Set!

Shave my head and join a Polynesian monastery.

She happens to be an excellent judge in quality shirt wear.

She probably knows it isn't true. I don't know what to say.

She says she's from Paris.

She should try wearing one, sometime.

She was released from parochial school. She's in her experimental phase.

She was to be sacrificed to a sea serpent.

She's a sure thing.

She's a very special person.

She's checking under the thing. What is under there, I don't know.

She's got lovely skin, and so much of it.

Shit!

Shitbrain!

Sleep when you feel like it, not when you think you should.

So what's in California?

So why don't you just go over there and look for something, okay?

So, 25 plus 43 is....

So, think you can make it?

So, you were saying?

Some sleazebag you don't know?

Something totally off the wall?

Sorry I'm late, but there was this big problem...

Sorry.

Spontaneity has its time and its place.

Stand in the corner for three hours, and not ask anyone to dance.

Still seeing Jason?

Suit yourself.

Supposed to be a sure thing.

Swallow, swallow!

Take good care of yourself you belong to me!

Take good care of yourself you belong to me!

Take good care of yourself, you belong to me

Take the beer. Poke a hole in it, as I will do now...

Take these fried pork rinds.

Talking to the gutter, clutching a bottle of paint thinner. And why?

Tell me, those guys over there? Do they sleep here all night?

Than to sit here and to pass the time with you?

Thank you kindly.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks for the ride. I've been out here all day.

Thanks.

That being in space has a profound effect on the human psyche.

That each one of these dots of light is another world.

That I have seen this much detail expressed on:

That I really enjoyed your paper.

That is the most enormous pile of horseshit I've ever heard in my life.

That turkey and some mistletoe

That was you.

That'll be $89.50.

That's "recommended daily allowance," of riboflavin.

That's a nice shirt.

That's Cassiopeia?

That's Gibson's 9th interception of this very young season.

That's more of a studying tea, isn't it?

That's new.

That's right, buddy. There you go.

That's right, I forgot. You've got to go to a mixer.

That's right. They start me off at the drive up window...

That's right. We are.

That's strong.

That's the most important thing in your life, that stupid book!

That's too bad.

That's Ursa Major, the Big Bear.

That's where you're wrong. It's how I got Lucy.

The age of Aquarius!

The baby.

The baby.

The ball!

The blonde in the string bikini? Get it.

The French fry guy dies, and they offer me the job.

The gushing wellspring of life itself.

The only reason anyone goes to them is to pick someone up.

The only way she'd go out with you is out of pity.

The way I see it, I'm not getting any younger.

Then I intend to sleep on the floor.

Then I thought, maybe on each one of these other worlds...

Then one day they find me, face down...

Then peace will guide the planets

Then you should also know that you make it virtually impossible...

There were more stars out that night than I've ever seen since.

There you go.

There's a certain someone I want you to meet.

There's a kid like me. Only, he's shaped like a sponge...

There's a town up ahead. I saw a sign. We can hitch.

There's no punctuation. It's all one sentence.

There's not enough of you coming through.

There's your bus. You better hurry.

There's your starchy, fried, greasy type

They have this bulletin board where they list rides.

They never shut up. What does she see in him?

They probably think they're having a good time.

They'll be back.

They're beckoning.

They're never gonna stimulate a complex guy like you.

They're on me.

They're simple.

They've only got those ugly, intellectual girls...

This could be my last chance to see the real America, really relate to the people.

This could get very messy, if you don't know what you're doing.

This doesn't change anything, okay?

This guy, Jason...

This is America, you can go anywhere.

This is called shotgunning beer.

This is Lance you're talking to. You have no morals.

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius

This particular brand has one percent of the RDA...

This thing's like an old woman. You've got to kick her to get her in gear.

This week's assignment is to rewrite last week's assignment.

Those are lovely names.

Those sheets are great.

Till the 22nd or 23rd, at the earliest.

To a Paris woman, sex is an art.

To listen to any more of your scientific observations.

To the notion of sending up a man and a woman together.

Today's the 19th. Better not expect me...

Told you you shouldn't have taken that ride.

Tonight is the first night of the rest of your sex life.

Tonight is the night, Gib, man.

Too bad this is the only place that takes credit cards.

Too bad.

Too busy to help a drowning man!

Trust me.

Trying to forget my feelings

Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, Tucson and Los Angeles.

Twice.

Twist and shout!

Unfortunately, whatever whimsical qualities that your paper evokes...

Up to the north there, that's Cassiopeia.

Using any household appliance. I'm using a pen.

Usually, when I meet someone new, I feel awkward and shy.

Usually, when I meet someone new, I feel awkward and shy.

Very distant acquaintances.

Wait up.

Wait up.

Wait, I might have a nail file.

Walter Gibson.

Walter Gibson.

Want a ride?

Want some?

Want to sit down?

We are talking SoCal, here. It's 80 degrees outside.

We both want the same things out of life.

We broke up.

We can't eat for 200 miles.

We might even open a practice together, up in Vermont.

We speak each other's unspoken language fluently.

We speak each other's unspoken language...

We speak each other's unspoken language...

We thought it'd be nice to find one and restore it ourselves.

We'll just put your bags up there after you've unpacked...

We're all three good looking guys.

We're both gonna be lawyers. Damn good ones.

We're both gonna be lawyers. Damn good ones.

We're college men now.

We're gonna have to use a towel, here.

We're in the middle of nowhere, cold, there's no cars! You stay and hitch.

We're not old friends. We're acquaintances.

We're out of here.

We've got to travel by day. So let's go.

Wear your flannel underwear when you climb a tree

Well, it's dry.

What about that time with Barbara DeVillebis in the high jump pit?

What are we doing?

What are you doing tonight?

What are you telling me, woman?

What are you, crazy? The lvy League stinks.

What do you mean, because you don't? What is that?

What do you mean, nothing your senior year?

What do you mean, you look like a moron? Look at me.

What do you think you're doing?

What do you want me to do?

What do you want? A goddamn relationship?

What does Taub mean, I have to live life?

What don't you know?

What else did Lance tell you about me?

What in Sam Hill?

What is it with you?

What is this? "Lonely man sitting on a hill"?

What the heck.

What the hell are you doing?

What?

What's he like?

What's his name? Jimmy, Jeremy.

What's the first thing you'll do when you meet her?

What's the problem? What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with me? I'm a good looking guy.

When I get out of jail, I'm 36 years old...

When I was nine, I broke my brother's nose, boxing.

When I was six, I wanted to be an astronaut.

When the moon is in the Seventh House

When?

Where are you going?

Where else are you gonna find scoops of flesh?

Where to?

Where you going?

Where's your ticket?

Why aren't we moving?

Why did you get on the back of that truck?

Why didn't you tell me about him?

Why do you have to like them?

Why weren't you on it?

Will you forget it?

Wish I could say that.

With Band Aids on their knees from playing the cello. No, thank you.

Would the lady care to advance the gentleman the cost of a rose?

Would you look at that reason?

Yeah, right.

Yeah. You think they'll know that "scoops of flesh" means "tits"?

Yes. Great.

You are a good looking guy.

You are gonna love California. You ever make it with an avocado?

You are sleeping on the floor. I worked out a schedule.

You are.

You came 3,000 miles for a reason, didn't you?

You can pay me back after Christmas. Take it.

You can't do this! You can't leave us here!

You can't name the kid Elliot.

You can't. Gary, please!

You can't. Gary, please!

You could be coming to New England with me.

You could see the stars.

You couldn't see two inches in front of your face.

You didn't have to come over here and sit down.

You didn't sleep with her?

You didn't sleep with her.

You didn't state your topic, that this is gonna be a paper on pizza.

You don't have to be stupid to be spontaneous.

You don't have to be stupid to be spontaneous.

You don't have to sleep on the floor.

You don't have to sleep on the floor.

You don't have to sleep on the floor.

You don't like green? Is that it?

You ever noticed there's three kinds of junk food?

You guys!

You happen to be developing a very bad attitude, young man.

You have a credit card?

You have a feel for ambiguity.

You have to experience it...

You haven't said two words to me since Arizona.

You know how we feel about parties. They're hot, loud and crowded.

You know what I'm thinking, without me having to explain it to you in fancy terms.

You know what I'm thinking, without me having to explain it to you in fancy terms.

You know what I'm thinking, without my having to explain it to you in fancy terms.

You know what?

You know, Alison, I never met anyone like you before.

You know, all the Tang you can drink.

You know, I've never met anyone like you before.

You know, junk food really doesn't deserve the bad rap it gets.

You know, the longer you use them, the softer they get.

You look nice.

You made love to him, didn't you?

You neglected to mention the most important thing.

You never get to know what they look like, or who they are.

You never know who you might pick up.

You never know.

You never met her.

You pay for the traffic tickets, I'll get you in the saddle.

You remember that last snapshot I sent you?

You sure take a lot of notes.

You sure we can eat? I don't know if we've gone 200 miles.

You tell me first.

You think I got nothing better to do with my life...

You think I lack self discipline?

You think I should bother?

You think I'm gonna leave you alone with all those UCLA girls?

You want a relationship? That's fine.

You want it. I want it.

You were too busy to help me!

You will?

You would think that was funny.

You wouldn't even remember your name without it. This is just excellent!

You, on the other hand...

You'll get a pain and ruin your tum tum

You'll never believe what I wanted to be when I was six.

You're a dead man, dead meat. You'll hear footsteps.

You're a true artist.

You're dead meat.

You're flunking English. That's your mother tongue, and stuff.

You're going across the country to see a girl you never met.

You're gonna have to talk to me sooner or later.

You're gonna kill me. I don't think I can go through with this.

You're just in a slump, that's all. It happens to the best of us.

You're nervous, because you haven't done it in a while.

You're not gonna strike out.

You're not me.

You're not. You had this whole thing planned.

You're right. I didn't.

You're the first person I've talked to all day.

You're wrong about the women here. I haven't seen one Band Aid.

Your incessant complaining isn't doing us any good.

I can't right now. That's an order, Private Gibson.

I can't take that. You can. Come on.

I didn't try anything, I swear. I know.

I don't have to prove anything to you. You can't. You're repressed.

I don't have to prove anything to you. You can't. You're repressed.

I don't know, it just seems like I'm not.

I don't think so. I don't want any arguments from you.

I got money. That's $2.

I guess I'm just exhausted from the trip. Tired.

I guess you really miss him. I haven't seen him since last summer.

I knew it. The breasts are too small? Breasts are fine.

I like that. Thank you.

I put it in my schedule book. How could you lose your schedule book?

I thought Grambling was all black. So what?

You're repressed. I'm not repressed.

Your bus just left. I know.

Your girlfriend. I don't know. I've never met her.

...which makes the score 233 for me...

'Bye.

"...nubile body that really knew how to move...

"'Do you love me?' she whispered. 'Do you love me?'

"'Do you love me?' Staring into her eyes...

"'lt could be tonight,' he thought...

"5'6", silky hair...

"A man like any other man.

"A man like no other man."

"abject poverty, starvation...

"All his young life, he had dreamed of a girl like this.

"And if he said it, it would be a lie.

"Driving with a load not properly tied down."

"enduring many hardships:

"for the sake of clarity, that I am relatively well equipped...

"From across the room he saw her. She was perfect.

"glistening pools of oil as still and inviting as a mountain...

"He knew almost nothing about her, and she didn't know much more about him.

"he knew that she really needed to hear it.

"He was a man, that's all.

"He would meet her tonight.
