Quotes
-
Butch Walker : Are you retarded? Girls don't run away from home. Not unless they're tramps or something. It's too tough for a girl.
Sandy Wilcox : Girls never get to do - anything.
Butch Walker : You are some crazy chick, you know that?
-
Butch Walker : Just be good little girls and everything will be fine, alright?
-
Butch Walker : You got any girlfriends, preferably older than you?
Sandy Wilcox : Yeah, sort of. Thelma's just about 14.
Butch Walker : Thelma? What sort of name's that?
Sandy Wilcox : Well, her family's Catholic.
Butch Walker : Oh, brother.
-
Butch Walker : Hey, Lizzie, how old are you?
Lizzie : Thirteen.
Butch Walker : The same age as Jerry Lee Lewis' wife. He married his cousin, you know.
Lizzie : Yeah, we read it in the papers.
Butch Walker : Man, that guy is the *killer* rock-n-roller! Hey, Sandy, that'd be like you and me gettin' married.
Sandy Wilcox : Fat chance.
-
Butch Walker : Look, I can't be seen with you girls in my Cadillac.
Sandy Wilcox : Why not?
Butch Walker : I don't want to hurt your feelings; but, you're all ugly.
-
Sandy Wilcox : Do you like livin' in the States?
Butch Walker : Are you kiddin'? Of course I like it. Anything you want, we got it in the USA.
Sandy Wilcox : So, what are you doin' here in Canada?
-
Butch Walker : Sandy, aren't you going to introduce us?
Rosie Hardman : Where's Lenny and Mucker?
Butch Walker : Still pickin'. Sandy?
Sandy Wilcox : [rolls her eyes] Shirley, this is my American cousin, Butch. And that's Rosie Hardman. I'm going to go jump in the lake.
Sandy Wilcox : Good idea.
-
Butch Walker : Oh, you are a terrible tease. But, don't stop. Don't ever stop.
-
Butch Walker : You mean, you and Lenny never?
Shirley Darling : We're saving it until we get married.
Butch Walker : Is that all anybody ever thinks about? Gettin' married! Doesn't anybody just want to have fun anymore?
-
Butch Walker : I don't want you bugging me tonight, okay? If I see somebody I want to dance with, I want you to get lost. And don't look for me if you want a ride home. If I want to hang around, that's my business.
-
Butch Walker : I think I'm gonna go and miss you Shirley. We could have been the most.
-
Butch Walker : Listen, that girl means nothing to me.
Shirley Darling : Well then, why were you kissing her?
Butch Walker : I was tryin' to be polite.
-
Sandy Wilcox : I don't know why boys have to go so fast.
Butch Walker : Because, it's fun, that's why.
-
Butch Walker : Hey, wait a minute. Where I come from, you don't talk to chicks like that.
Lenny McPhee : Yeah? Is that so? Why don't you go back to wherever it is you came from, you no-good, lazy bum.
-
Major Wilcox : What the hell are you trying to prove?
Butch Walker : I was just...
Major Wilcox : Just coming up here and getting into fights.
Butch Walker : I wasn't lookin' for trouble. I just wanted to have a good time.
Major Wilcox : A good time! What about decency? Responsibility?
Butch Walker : I don't know.
Major Wilcox : Of course, you don't know!
-
Butch Walker : Did you ever see the movie, "Rebel Without A Cause"?
Shirley Darling : No. It hasn't come to town yet.
Butch Walker : [takes off his blue jean jacket and puts it over Shirley's shoulders] I tell you what, if you ever make it down to California, I'll take you to the movies.
[kiss]
-
Butch Walker : I hate walkin'! It takes so long to get anywhere.
-
Sandy Wilcox : Do you ever wonder about the stars?
Butch Walker : Yeah, as often as I can.
Sandy Wilcox : Well, do you think heaven is inside the universe or just outside the universe?
Butch Walker : Well, myself, I don't think it's anywhere. No one can prove to me there is a heaven. As far as I can figure it out, when you're dead, its just like you're asleep, but, you don't dream. You never wake up. Nothing happens. That's it. Wham! Nothin'.
Sandy Wilcox : Maybe. But, I think people's spirits leave their bodies and float around on the sky. In fact, I think its probably getting a little crowded up there and I wonder if the universe can sort of expand, take in everybody?
Butch Walker : I won't be cremated.
Sandy Wilcox : But, you said nothing happens to you after you're dead; so, what do you care?
Butch Walker : I don't know. It just gives me the creeps. That's for sure.
Sandy Wilcox : Drive. Let's just drive.
-
Sandy Wilcox : We've had so much fun. Now, it's - it's all over.
Butch Walker : Hey, relax, kid. You're just startin' out. There'll be lots of fun for you. Bein' a teenager is the best time of your life. Look at me.
Sandy Wilcox : Yeah, look at you! Out of gas, walking along a dirt road with an ugly 12 year old.
Butch Walker : Hey, who says your ugly?
Sandy Wilcox : You, you creep!
Butch Walker : Yeah, well, you're not beautiful.
Sandy Wilcox : You say that one more time and I'll kill you.
Butch Walker : No, no. Don't, don't! I don't fight with chicks. Okay, okay. You're not ugly.
Sandy Wilcox : Gee, Butch, that's sweet of you. You really mean that?
Butch Walker : Well, it's kinda dark out here.
