• Annie : [Michael Myers' car cruises by the girls walking home from school]  Hey, jerk! Speed kills!

  [the car screeches to a halt] 

  Annie : God, can't he take a joke?

  Laurie : You know, Annie, some day you're going to get us all in deep trouble.

  Lynda : Totally.

  Annie : I *hate* a guy with a car and no sense of humor.

• Lynda : [concerning Annie]  The only reason she babysits is to have a place for...

  Laurie : [realizing she had forgot something]  Shit.

  Annie : I have a place for *that*!

  Laurie : I forgot my chemistry book.

  Lynda : So, who cares? I always forget my chemistry book and my math book, and my English book, and my, let's see, my French book, and... well, who needs books anyway? I don't need books. I always forget all my books. I mean, it doesn't really matter if you have your books or not... Hey, isn't that Devon Graham?

• Lynda : [exposing her breasts]  See anything you like?

• Lynda : So Annie, are we still on for tonight?

  Annie : I wouldn't want to get you in deep trouble, Lynda!

  Lynda : Oh, come on, Annie! Bob and I have been planning it for weeks.

  Annie : All right, the Wallaces leave at seven.

  Laurie : I'm babysitting the Doyles, it's two houses down. We can keep each other company!

  Annie : Oh, terrific. I've got three choices: watch the kid sleep, listen to Lynda screw around, or talk to you!

• Lynda : It's totally insane. We have three new cheers to learn in the morning, the game is in the afternoon, I have to get my hair done at five, and the dance is at eight! I'll be totally wiped out!

  Laurie : [sarcastically]  I don't think you have enough to do tomorrow.

  Lynda : Totally!

• Lynda : Now, when we get inside, Annie will distract Lindsey and we go upstairs to the first bedroom on the right. Got it?

  Bob : First, I rip your clothes off...

  Lynda : Don't rip my blouse. It's expensive, you idiot!

  Bob : Then I rip my clothes off, then I rip Lindsey's clothes off. Yeah, I think I got it.

• Lynda : You want a beer?

  Bob : Yeah.

  Lynda : Is that all you can say?

  Bob : Yeah.

  Lynda : Go get me a beer!

  Bob : I thought you were gonna get me one?

  Lynda : Yeah?

  Bob : I'll be right back. Don't get dressed!

• Laurie : [Deleted Scene from Alternate T.V. Version; Laurie is coming the down the stairs in her bathrobe and towel wrapped around her head, as the doorbell rings; She answers the door to find Lynda]  Hi.

  Lynda : [Hurrying inside]  Hurry up, hurry up!

  Laurie : What's wrong?

  Lynda : Shut the door! Shut the door!

  [Laurie shuts the door, and as they look out the window] 

  Lynda : Some guy is following me.

  Laurie : You sure?

  Lynda : Yeah, I'm sure. I think it's the guy that passed us in the street in that station wagon. I couldn't see him very well, but I think it's Steve Todd. His brother has a Station Wagon.

  Laurie : [Still looking out the window]  You know, he was parked outside the school today. Right outside the window, he was starring at me.

  Lynda : Steve Todd was starring at you?

  Laurie : Somebody was. A while ago, he was in my backyard.

  Lynda : Well, maybe he just wants a date.

  Lynda : Or shut up!

  Lynda : Well, someone could want a date.

  Laurie : [Suspicious of Lynda wanting to borrow something]  So, what do you want?

  Lynda : Oh, Laurie, I totally have nothing to wear tonight. I was kind of hoping that you'd lend me that silk blouse that you got on your birthday.

  Laurie : I haven't even worn it yet.

  Lynda : I know, but I promise I won't spill anything on it or tear it or, or rip it or do any of those things.

  [Laurie looks out the window again, a little worried about the man following the girls] 

  Lynda : Laurie, stop worrying! It was Steve Todd.

  [the phone rings, with Laurie still on a little edge] 

  Lynda : Well, answer it, it's just the phone.

  Laurie : [Laurie goes to answer the phone]  Hello?

  Lynda : [Whispering]  Who is it?

  Annie : [Annie on the other end of the phone line]  Laurie, I have to ask a big favor. I can't find anything to wear.

  Laurie : [Covering the phone with her hand to tell Lynda]  Annie. She wants to borrow something.

  Lynda : You promised!

  Laurie : [Softly]  No, I didn't.

  [Back to Annie on the phone] 

  Laurie : Hi. Lynda's here, she wants to borrow my new blouse.

  Annie : Lynda's a creep.

  [Lynda, having heard Annie's response, looks surprised] 

  Annie : Is that guy still creeping around your backyard?

  Laurie : He followed Lynda over here.

  Annie : Well, if you see him, just go right up to him and tell him to buzz off... or if he's cute, ask him out.

  Laurie : Annie, I gotta go. You gonna pick me up?

  Annie : Right after Dinner. Hey, how about that ski sweater you got for Christmas?

  Laurie : [Holding the phone away, but still close enough to speak]  Bye.

  Lynda : [Laurie holds the phone to Lynda]  Bye, creep!

  [Laurie and Lynda laugh] 

  Annie : See ya.

  [They each hang up their phones; Annie takes another look at her wardrobe] 

  Annie : Yuck.

  Lynda : Where's the blouse?

  Laurie : It's in my closet.

  Lynda : I'll get it.

  [She happily runs over to the stairs and begins to ascend the staircase] 

  Laurie : Promise me you won't rip it!

  Lynda : I totally promise.

  [She runs on upstairs] 

  Laurie : I totally don't believe.

  [She gets up from the couch and heads back over to the window, singing her favorite song] 

  Laurie : "I wish I had you all alone, just the two of us. I'll hold you close to me, so close to me, just the two of us. So close to me".
