A line from Don Dawson [to Mitch]

You know that Julie chick? Loves you. You want her? Gotta play it cool, you know. You can't let her know how much you like her 'cause if she knows, she'll dump you like that [snaps fingers]. Believe me. Like, if she asks you if you want a ride, you say, "No, I've got my own ride, but maybe I'll see you later." Sounds stupid, doesn't it? It works.

Don Dawson

Don Dawson
[tricking the freshman so he can use the keg]

Oh no! Look, look! It's the cops! [they all run] See? It's so easy.

Don Dawson

Well, all I'm saying is that I want to look back and say that I did I the best I could while I was stuck in this place. Had as much fun as I could while I was stuck in this place. Played as hard as I could while I was stuck in this place... Dogged as many girls as I could while I was stuck in this place...

Freshman Girl

Will you marry me?

Dawson

I don't know. What's in it for me?

Freshman Girl

Anything you want.

Dawson

Anything?

Freshman Girl

Anything.

Dawson
[opening his mouth wide]

Go like this. [she opens her mouth] Do you spit or swallow?

Freshman Girl

Whatever you...like.

Dawson

Whatever I like? I would definitely marry you.

Dawson

Did you hear that O'Bannion flunked?

Yeah, what a dumbshit.

Dawson

There's Shavonne. I think she might still be mad at me. Watch me get something going here.

Dawson
[The girls drive up]

Hey, what's going on?

Hey, not much. How about you?

Dawson

Oh, a little weed, you know. There may be a beer bust later on.

Oh really? Cool, so I guess we'll see ya there?

All right, check ya later!

Dawson
[The girls leave]

Slate man, why are you always such a dork man?

What are you talking about man?

Dawson
[derisively]

"Check ya later! Check ya later!" [laughs]

Hey man, get off my case!

Dawson

Chicks don't wanna hear that shit, man!

The chicks in our grade don't wanna hear nothin', man! The g-, the girls in our grade are all prudes, man! They're worthless little bitches! The ones who came before us, man, they were wild, man!

Dawson

Yeah, sounds to me like you just haven't gotten past the sniffin' butt stage, man, that's what that sounds like.

Hey, it's quality, not quantity, man...It's like when I get to college, man, I can't wait to get to college!

Dawson

Yeah, when I get to college, all I'm gonna do is, bang bang bangbangbangbang..

Dawson

Hey, "Tubs". Catch. Get outta here.

[tosses a freshman a beer]

What are you wasting a beer on him for?

Dawson

What? It's not a big deal

Man, this **** sucks! Last ****in' day of school, no ****in' party, no ****in' -- Ah!

[throws a beer out of anger]

You just wasted another ****in' beer.

Ah, shut up.

Don, have you ever thought about why we play football? How many times have you gotten laid strictly because you're a football player?

Don

I don't know. A few, probably...

A few? Well, all I'm saying is that I think we'd do just as good if we were, like, in a band or something...

I've been thinkin' about gettin' back in school, though, man.

Dawson

What, like, J.C. or something like that?

Yeah, man. But I'd just as soon keep workin', though, keep a little change in my pocket. Better than listenin' to some dipshit, doesn't know what the hell he's talkin' about, anyway!

Dawson

I know what you're talkin' about, man!
Wooderson [to Mitch]: So, you're a freshman, right? Tell me, man, how's this year's crop of freshman chicks lookin' this year?

Dawson

Wood, you're gonna go to jail very soon, man!

Naw, man, that's what I like about these high school girls, man; I get older, they stay the same age..

Hey, I got a favor to ask you guys. You know my little brother?

Yeah, Mitch Kramer.

Yeah, Mitch Kramer. Well, take it easy on him this summer will ya?

Don't worry sis, little brother's safe with us.

Well, just don't get him worse than the other guys. He's kinda little.

OK. I promise.

[As Jodi walks off, Benny swats her on the butt with his paddle] [giggles]

Benny! These guys, I don’t know... [leaves]

Dawson

There was just a little bit of bullshit in all that, right?

Major bullshit. He's a dead man. He’s ****in’ dead!

All I'm saying is that if I ever start referring to these as the best years of my life - remind me to kill myself.

Dawson

Well, all I'm saying is that I want to look back and say that I did I the best I could while I was stuck in this place. Had as much fun as I could while I was stuck in this place. Played as hard as I could while I was stuck in this place... Dogged as many chicks as I could while I was stuck in this place.

Whatever, Mr. Premature Ejaculation!
