Can't Buy Me Love 1987 quotes, page 2

Quint

Oh, Return of the Living Dread.

Ronald Miller

Why don't you lay off?

Quint

Why don't you go back where you belong, hose head?

Ronald Miller

Take your hands off Kenneth or I'll break your arm. Your pitching arm.

Quint

Oh yeah? Don't make me laugh, lawn boy.

Ronald Miller

Let go. NOW! [slams the table with the bat]

Ronald Miller

You broke your arm once before, remember? You fell out of our tree house. Kenneth picked you up and we carried you 12 blocks to the hospital.

Kenneth Wurman

Yeah, you cried all the way.

Ronald Miller

We were all friends then, remember? And now you want to end his life because he's talking to Patty on your side of the cafeteria. Oh man, that's stupid. I know cuz that's where I wanted to be. On your side, with your crowd. But I messed up. See, I tried to buy my way in. But Kenneth, he's not trying to buy anybody. He's just trying to make friends being himself. Cools, Nerds, your side, my side, man it's all bullshit. It's just tough enough to be yourself.

Ronald Miller

I'm going to a party. John Richmond's, with Cindy Mancini.

Chuckie Miller

Cindy Mancini? Senior, captain of the cheerleaders, most beautiful girl in the history of this county?

Ronald Miller

That's her. Well, I'm late, gotta bolt.

Chuckie Miller

Bolt? Something stinks in suburbia.

Ronald Miller

We do have a lot of great memories but be honest... wouldn't you like to be popular?

Kenneth Wurman

And have to be in a clique... no.

Ronald Miller

What happened to us? We were all friends in elementary.

Kenneth Wurman

That's because we were all forced to be in the same room together. But, hey, junior high, high school. Forget it. Jocks became jocks. Cheerleaders became cheerleaders. We became us. I like us.

Ronald Miller

What's his name, Biff?

Cindy Mancini

Don't give me that! His name happens to be... Brett!

Ronald Miller

Is there a difference?

Cindy Mancini

You! Even Bobby thinks we went out. Great, huh? Ha! All of you thought we were a couple. What a joke!... Ronald Miller paid me 1,000 bucks to pretend I liked him. What a deal, huh? $1,000 to go out with him for a month. This guy. Oh, God. He bought me. And he bought all of you. He was sick and tired of being a nobody. Yeah, and he said that all of you guys would worship him if we went out. And I didn't believe that. I was, like, no way! And he was right! No, leave me alone. He was right. Our little plan worked, didn't it, Ronald? The dance. That stupid dance! What a bunch of followers you guys are. I mean, at least I got... At least I got paid.

Ronald Miller

I need to talk to you. Every time I call you're either taking a bath, washing your hair or you're out of the country. That was a good one, by the way.

Ronald Miller

Oh! You-- You demolished me New Year's Eve. But see-- I realize you did me a favor. You brought me back to reality. All I ever wanted to do was get close to you. And then, when I finally got there, it wasn't me anymore.

Ronald Miller

You can do anything you want, anything you put your heart and mind into!

Ronald Miller

Here is the primate example. You're raising a doll-chopping homicidal maniac, and what do you do every time you see him? You give him money. Great!

Cindy Mancini

Iris? Oh yeah, she's a big conquest. She's given more rides than Greyhound!

Cindy Mancini

Popularity isn't perfect. I mean, it almost feels like a job sometimes. Do you remember that suede outfit? Yeah, well that was me trying to fit in. I have to work at it, so does everyone else.

Cindy Mancini

Guys, take a look at my forehead... do you see a sign that says information?

Ronald Miller

Nerds, jocks. My side, your side. It's all bullshit. Its hard enough just trying to be yourself.

Ronald Miller

You ignored the Donald Miller geek for seventeen years, now you want to ride the Ronnie Miller express!
