Dialogue

Ginny: Darling is something bothering you? You're really acting like... an asshole. And I think I know what it is. I think you're jealous that I'm getting married and that I'm getting all the attention.

Samantha: You know everybody in this family has just gone totally Outer Limits.

Ginny: No Sam, I think you're just being a little selfish and immature.

Samantha: Oh yes, that's it. That's exactly it. [storms out]

Ginny: [to herself] Unbelievable. You make someone a bridesmaid and they shit all over you.

The Geek: How's it going?

Samantha: How's what going?

The Geek: You know - things, life, whatnot.

Samantha: Life is not whatnot, and it's none of your business.

The Geek: So, you going to the New Faces dance tonight, or...

Samantha: That's also none of your business.

The Geek: Are you inhibited about dancing in public, I mean, you don't have to dance, you could just stand there with me and my dudes and just be you, and...

Samantha: Sounds major.

The Geek: So, I mean, what's the story? I mean, you got a guy, or...

Samantha: Yes, three big ones, and they lust for wimp blood, so quite bugging me or I'll sic them all over your weenie ass.

The Geek: You know, I'm getting input here that I'm reading as relatively hostile, I mean it's just...

Samantha: Go to hell.

The Geek: VERY hostile.

The Geek: Just answer me one question.

Samantha: Yes, you're a total fag.

The Geek: Ha ha ha. That's not the question.

Samantha: This is Farmer Fred.

The Geek: Ted.

Samantha: Oh, I'm sorry, Farmer Ted.

The Geek: I'm not really a farmer. I'm a freshman.

Randy: Geek, can I be honest with you?

The Geek: Not if you're gonna insult me.

Randy: [laughs] Ok.

The Geek: Shoot.

Randy: Get the hell outta here.

The Geek: Nice ma- nice manners, babe!

Jimmy Montrose: She's totally serious ass-wipe.

Samantha: You know, just now I really felt how much you like me.

The Geek: You're probably zoning in on my brain waves or something.

Samantha: Well, not really, I felt it on my leg.

Jake: I'll make a deal with you. You let me keep these, I'll let you take Caroline home. But you gotta make sure she gets home, you can't leave her in some parking lot. Okay?

The Geek: Jake, I'm only a freshman.

Jake: So, she's so blitzed she won't know the difference.

The Geek: Jake, I don't have a car.

Jake: You can take mine.

The Geek: Jake, I don't have a license.

Jake: I trust you.

...

The Geek: This is your car, Jake?

Jake: No, this is my dad's car, you said you can't drive a stick.

The Geek: This is a motherf... this is a Rolls Royce, Jake.

Jake: So?

The Geek: So? So? I heard the grill alone costs five grand on this. Five grand! Do you have five grand? I don't have five grand.

Jake: Then don't hit anything.

...

The Geek: Jake is your dad a big man, or...?

Jake: About 6'4"

The Geek: Very nice
