Best Line?

'Go get your scag and let's go.' -Watts. Best line in the film!!

Great flick, loved it when I was 14 when it came out and still love it watching it today on one of the movie channels. Elias Koteas is a great bonus in this film. Yes the characters all look older than teenagers, but most films (and tv!) have always been like that. Remember Luke Perry and Ian Ziering and the character Andrea in 90210.. I remember being a senior in high school and luke perry looked 30 to me. I also loved Craig Sheffer when this came out.. as I had been in love with him since Fire With Fire. SIGH... teenage angst in the 80s.. gotta love it. Good memories!!

I immediately thought of the same line when I read the title of your post. I still say that to my brother once in a while. Love this movie!!

Any fool can get into college. Only a select few can say the same about Amanda Jones. Am I wrong?

That is by far the best.. with the skag line after it

For me it was:
-Keith, "How do you know all this?"
-Watts,(sarcasticlyy) "I watch a lot of TV!"

"Hey, I didn't know Jenns lived in a henhouse. Did you know that? Must be a henhouse 'cause I don't see nothin' but chicken sh*t. Ooooo." The way he says it.

"I'd recommend you keep your eyes and your mind off my property." That defines Hardy Jenns' character in a single sentence.

"Co-ed phys ed." Gotta love John Ashton.

I love the part where the dad says, "Hi, honey," to Laura thru the classroom window; she lets out a long scream and says, "Can I go to the nurse?" lol

Keith's best line: "I do know what the hell I'm talking about. You just never listen to me! You only hear what you want! Will you listen to me, for once?"

I love Amanda's snow job on the detention teacher. A teacher would never fall for that, but who cares? It's a movie.

And what can I say about Mary Stuart Masterson? Her best lines are her silences. She says more through her eyes, her expressions and her tears than some actors could say with a 15-minute monologue.

Other bits I like:

All the detention scenes. The 1st one, where the badasses are showing their toughness, and the one dude breaks a pencil. Very funny. The 2nd, where Keith shows Duncan his drawing, and Duncan rips the top off the desk and shows Keith his. The 3rd, where it's clear the two have become friends, and are speaking as high school boys do.

The part where Shayne and Duncan's friend look and smile at each other. Very true-to-life. Rich high school girls loooove the bad boy.

And the part where Keith steals Hardy's dipstick.

All Duncan's lines at the party he crashes. Elias was hilarious in that movie.

Also when the teacher is frisking Duncan and finds cigarettes, booze, and naughty playing cards - "Those were a gift, from your wife." Nice one.

"This is what my girlfriend would look like without any skin"

lol - when the skinhead was carving the skeleton into the desk in detention. That part always gets me.

This is my favorite line. The way she says it, so quickly, and Lea Thompson's reaction to it is great too.

"Hey, I didn't know Jenns lived in a henhouse. Did you know that? Must be a henhouse 'cause I don't see nothin' but chicken sh*t. Ooooo." The way he says it.

Definitely my favorite. I know I sound weird, but I just thought Elias Koteas was so adorable in this movie.

I love the part where the dad says, "Hi, honey," to Laura thru the classroom window; she lets out a long scream and says, "Can I go to the nurse?"

lol - I loved that part! Maddie Corman was hilarious in this and I loved the one that played the dad. I also loved the part where he was calling his parents by their first names, instead of saying mom and dad. And the dad says something like "she's mom, I'm dad, and you're nuts."

Duncan has some of the best lines

"Is this detention?"

"Actually it's your mother's house, and we're having a party"
