Brains stick with brains. The bomb could go off and their mutant genes would form the same cliques.

Did you see what Mr. Carroll wrote in my yearbook? Well he ridiculed me all year and he writes "you're a real live wire." Love Mr. Carroll.
Corey
Did you sleep with her?
Corey
(reads letter from Lloyd to Diane) 'Diane, I'll always be there. All the love in my heart, Lloyd.' (long pause) I've never gotten a letter like this, have you?
Corey
So I'm single now, and everything's changed. I hate it.
Corey
You're not a guy.
Corey
You're such a great person, Lloyd. I'm a good person, but you are a great person.
Corey
Why dont you just call her again?
DC
Nobody thinks it will work, do they?
Diane Court
I blew it. I called him basic. Can you believe I did that?
Diane
I just cant have any social life right now.
Diane
I love you.
Diane
So what's your job this summer?
Diane
You dont like old people?
Diane
Lloyd, man, no babe is worth it. Yo, hang with us man. We'll teach you Bibles full of truth.
Joe
I got a question. If you guys know so much about women, how come you're here at like the Gas 'n' Sip on a Saturday night completely alone drinking beers with no women anywhere?
Lloyd Dobler
Get in a good mood. How hard is it to decide to be in a good mood and be in a good mood?
Lloyd
Lloyd (giving his number to Diane's father): Lloyd Dobler, 555-1342; 5..5..5..1342. 555-1342.
Lloyd
Hey my brother? Can I borrow a copy of your "Hey Soul Classics"?
Lloyd
I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen.
Lloyd
I'm gonna take Diane Court out again.
Lloyd
Joe! Joe! She's written 65 songs. 65. They're all about you. They're all about pain.
Lloyd
Just knowing that a version like that exists, knowing that just for a minute she felt that and wrote I can't help loving you. That has to be worth something.
Lloyd
Okay, how ya doing? I'm Lloyd, and we're gonna watch the movie "Cucoon." I've never actually seen it, but I heard its very good, it makes you happy. Its about a group of people who go to outer space.....hope I didn't give anything away there.
Lloyd
Quick question: do you know who I am?
Lloyd
So you're like monumentally busy?
Lloyd
The rain on my car is a baptism. The new me. Iceman. Power Lloyd. My assault on the world begins now. Believe in myself. Answer to no one.
Lloyd
This is it. The site of our controversial first date. I met her at a mall. Should've known our relationship was doomed. To our left, we have.....the street where she broke up with me. And there's the path we took.
Lloyd
Wait a minute. What did we just decide?
Lloyd
What I really want to do – what I want to do for a living – is I want to be with your daughter. I’m good at it.
Lloyd
What I really want to do- what I want to do for a living-is I want to be with your daughter. I'm good at it. ---LLOYD
Lloyd
You start out depressed, everything turns out a pleasant surprise.
Lloyd
You two are amazing, you know? The way you talk. I'm like that with....I'm not even like that with anybody.
Lloyd
This is one fresh jam. Listen, God, I dont know you very well, but I wanted to ask you: how'd you get Diane Court to go out with you?
Mike Cameron
What are your plans for the future?
Mr. Court
