• Carol : [to Falfa]  Your car is uglier than I am!

  [both John and Falfa look at her oddly] 

  Carol : Uh... that didn't come out right.

• Carol : [John turns off the radio]  Why did you do that?

  John Milner : I don't like that surfin' shit. Rock and roll's been going down hill ever since Buddy Holly died.

  Carol : Don't you think the Beach Boys are boss?

  John Milner : You would, you grungy little twirp.

  Carol : Grungy? You big weenie! If I had a boyfriend, he'd pound you.

  John Milner : Yeah, sure.

• John Milner : So, your Judy's little... Shit! How old are you?

  Carol : I'm old enough. How old are you?

  John Milner : I'm too old for you.

  Carol : You can't be that old.

• Carol : Oh, rats. I thought some of my friends might be here.

  John Milner : Probably a couple of weeks past their bedtime.

  Carol : Oh, wait, there's Dee Dee. I hope she sees me.

  John Milner : Oh, shit. Dee Dee!

• Carol : Oh, no, not me. Not old Carol. The night is young and I'm not hittin' the rack till I get a little action.

• John Milner : Shit! Hey, get down!

  Carol : Hey, is this what they call "copping a feel"?

  John Milner : What? No, get up, N-O. Sheezus.

  Carol : What's your name?

  John Milner : My name? Mud, if anybody sees you.

• Carol : You're a regular J.D.

  John Milner : File that under uh, C.S. over there.

  [hands her the ticket Holstein just issued him] 

  Carol : C.S.? What's that stand for?

  John Milner : Chicken shit - that's what it is.

  Carol : Oh.

  [puts the ticket in the glove compartment which is full of similar tickets] 

• Carol : I just love listening to Wolfman. My Mom won't let me at home. Because he's a Negro. I think he's terrific! Do you know that he just broadcasts from a plane that flies around in circles all the time? Do you believe that's true?

• John Milner : Don't you have homework or something to do?

  Carol : No sweat - my mother does it.

• Carol : [to John]  Oh, race him. You can beat him.

• Carol : [after being hit with a water balloon]  Very funny. What a chop! Ha-ha! Quit laughing! Let's catch 'em at the light. Jump out and flatten their tires.

  John Milner : Wait a minute.

  Carol : Just do as I say!

  John Milner : Alright, boss.

• Carol : Gee, thanks. It's just like a ring or something. It's like were going steady.

• Carol : Good, a cop. I'm going to tell him you tried to rape me.

  John Milner : Oh, no, no. Hey...

  Carol : It's past my curfew. I'm going to tell him how old I am, my parents don't know I'm out and you tried to rape me.

  John Milner : Yeah, don't say anything.

  Carol : Boy, are you up a creek.

• Carol : You're an ogre, just like my father. He won't let me stay out late or play records or anything.
