Some Kind of Wonderful

1987

Duncan: (walking into Hardy's party) It must be a hen house, because all I see is chicken shit.

Watts: Get your skag and let's go.

Duncan: I'm here to kick your ass, and you know it, and everybody here knows it, and above all, you deserve it. In fact, I think it's safe to say that this party is about to become a historical fact.

Keith: Well, I like art, I work in a gas station, my best friend is a tomboy. These things don't fly too well in the American high school.

Amanda Jones: I'd rather be with someone for the wrong reasons then alone for the right.

Watts: It's better to swallow pride than blood.

Watts: I bet my hands on it.

Watts: You couldn't score her in a million years. A, you're too shy and closed up to even approach her, and B, she'd kill you!

Watts: (putting on Keith's diamond earrings) What do you think? Keith: You look good wearing my future.

Keith Nelson: You can't tell a book by its cover. Watts: No, but you can tell how much it's gonna cost you. Keith Nelson: Wow, I never knew you were so deep. Watts: You want shallow, call Amanda Jones.

Watts: It must be a drag to be a slave to the male sex drive. Keith: It's not just sex. Watts: Oh, you want to start a book club with her?

Watts: Don't go mistaking paradise for a pair of long legs.

(In the locker room) Girl: I've just never seen a girl wearing boys underpants before. Watts: Have you ever seen a girl with a drumstick shoved up her nose? Girl: Oh, is that some kind of a threat? Watts: It's some kind of a warning.

Keith Nelson: I'm sorry. I'm sorry I was so hard on you. Watts: Me too. Keith Nelson: You always hurt the ones you love. Watts: So when are you going to beat the shit out of Amanda Jones?

Watts: You break his heart, I break your face.

Laura Nelson: Any fool can get into college. Only a select few can say the same about Amanda Jones.

Duncan: This is what my girlfriend would look like without skin.

Carparker: To win big you gotta do what? Carparkers: Lose. Carparker: Lose big. What are we doing now? All: We're losing big.

Watts: Keith... you're losing it. And when it's lost, all you are is a loser.

Amanda Jones: I hate feeling ashamed. I hate where I'm from. I hate watching my friends get everything their hearts desire. I gave into that hatred and I turned on what I believed in. I didn't have to. You didn't.

Duncan: I think it's safe to say that this party is about to become a historical fact.

Ray: See, a lot of guys I know think that you're... confused. But I know it's just an act. Wanna know how I know? Watts: Enlighten me. Ray: Because you radiate this sexual vibe and I know that if you wanted, you could be a girl (snaps fingers) like that. Watts: Ray, this is 1987. Did you know a girl can be whatever she wants to be? Ray: I know. My mom's a plumber. Watts: That explains a lot about you, Ray.

Ray: So you gotta hang around for an hour? Watts: If I feel like it. Ray: You know how much damage we could do to each other in an hour? Watts: It's kind of a revolting thought, actually. Ray: Really? What's revolting mean? Watts: Oh, God. Get your hands off me, man. Ray: Does that mean you wanna come over?

Duncan: We're gonna bring this party up to a nice respectable level. Don't worry, we're not gonna hurt anyone. We're not even gonna touch 'em. We're just gonna make 'em cry a little, just by lookin' at 'em.
