• Lenny Barnes : [picked up from Bobby]  I got it covered.

• Bobby : Pretty cool, huh, kid?

  Lenny Barnes : Yeah, I'll be the only kid in school with a bullet-proof head.

• Melissa : [Seeing Lenny staring at Sharon]  I don't know why you waste your time, she doesn't know you exist.

  Lenny Barnes : Yeah but someday she will.

• Fred Gallo : Yo, Barnes! Who let a wus like you in here?

  Lenny Barnes : I work here!

  McIntyre : Christ, what a joke! Max must be desperate huh!

• Lenny Barnes : Where did you come from?

  Bobby : Let's just say I dropped in!

• Bobby : [Bobby is trying to prove he has magic powers]  See that tree? I'm gonna make it disappear.

  [Bobby points to the tree but nothing happens. He experiments with different gestures but the tree remains] 

  Bobby : Rafferty said there was an act to it.

  Lenny Barnes : Maybe you should try something a little different. Something easier. Y'know make it rain, or turn yourself into a duck?

  [Starts giggling] 

  Bobby : Don't piss me off kid!

• Lenny Barnes : [Bobby is trying to prove he has magic powers. He opens one of Lenny's school folders and sees some handwritten assignments]  What are you doing?

  Bobby : I've been too ambitious.

  Lenny Barnes : [Bobby pulls out some sheets of paper from the folder]  Hey, that's my term paper!

  [Bobby casually rips the papers in half] 

  Lenny Barnes : WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?

  Bobby : [Casually]  Trust me.

  [Bobby puts the ripped sheets back in the folder and waves his fingers over it. He then opens the folder and looks the other way] 

  Bobby : Check it out.

  [Lenny grabs the torn sheets and holds them up to Bobby] 

  Bobby : Got any tape?

• Lenny Barnes : [Lenny tries on some new clothes Bobby picked out for him]  I'm not sure I like this.

  Bobby : Why not?

  Lenny Barnes : It's not me.

  Bobby : You wanna be you? OK!

  [Bobby clicks his fingers and Lenny becomes butt-naked in the clothing store] 

  Bobby : [Panicked]  Ok I like it, I like it! Honestly, I really like it!

  [Bobby clicks his fingers again and the clothes return] 

• Bobby : [Teaching Lenny how to approach women]  Lesson number one - you own the joint. When you walk into a room, you want all eyes on YOU. You want everybody in that room thinking, "Hey, who is that kid?" Second, you always look like you got everything covered. Chicks like to think you got all the answers.

  Lenny Barnes : When exactly was it that you passed away?

  Bobby : Why?

  Lenny Barnes : Well, that's just sorta old-fashioned thinking nowadays.

  Bobby : Hey, it worked for me, it's gonna work for you! I guarantee it!

• Lenny Barnes : [Bobby is driving Lenny to a club to meet women]  I don't think this is gonna work!

  Bobby : What kinda talk is that?

  Lenny Barnes : It's called intelligence!

• Lenny Barnes : Did you see the way she was hanging on me? I mean, she was ALL OVER me! Was I looking good or what?

  Bobby : You did just fine, kid. In fact, there were moments tonight where you almost reminded me of myself.

  Lenny Barnes : Really?

  Bobby : Yeah. You definitely got potential.

  Lenny Barnes : Alright!

  Bobby : Of course, you got a ways to go. Rome wasn't built in a day, make no mistake, you definitely were in worse shape than Rome!

• Lenny Barnes : [after he and Bobby start levitating due to smoking dope]  It's called gettin' high!

• Bobby : [Smoking some dope]  What is this stuff?

  Lenny Barnes : It's called grass.

  Bobby : I'm smoking somebody's lawn?

• Fred Gallo : [Seeing Lenny's Chevy]  So Barnes, where'd you steal this thing?

  Lenny Barnes : Built it myself.

  Fred Gallo : [Chuckles]  Yeah, bullshit.

  Lenny Barnes : It's easy, Gallo. I just use something you haven't got - brains!

• Student : [Looking at the engine bay of Lenny's Chevy]  Hey, this is really nice man. Tell me, is this a six cylinder or a V8?

  Lenny Barnes : Both!

• Fred Gallo : I got business with you, Barnes.

  Lenny Barnes : Oh? Need some help tutoring?

  Fred Gallo : I'm gonna kick your ass!

  Lenny Barnes : I don't like the way that sounds.

  Fred Gallo : Yeah? You're not gonna like the way that FEELS, either!

• Lenny Barnes : [after knocking out Fred Gallo by smacking him across the face with his 'Plays of William Shakespeare' book]  Thanks, Will!

• Sharon : [after sex in the car]  You did OK for a first timer.

  Lenny Barnes : What do you mean?

  Sharon : Don't be embarrassed. I've made it with a lot of first timers!

  Bobby : [Hiding in the back seat]  Yuck!

• Bobby : [Lenny and Bobby come home drunk]  I should've stopped you after that second beer!

  Lenny Barnes : Hey... I'm in control!

  [Stumbles over the couch and laughs hysterically] 

  Bobby : You're definitely in control!

• Bobby : [Bobby and Lenny come home drunk and laughing loudly]  Man, you are terrible!

  Lenny Barnes : Shhh! Shhh!

  Bobby : They can't hear me!

  Lenny Barnes : Right... Right!

• Bobby : You're gettin' to be a real jerk!

  Lenny Barnes : And you're gettin' to be a real drag!

• Fred Gallo : What do you want, douchebag?

  Lenny Barnes : Nothing.

  McIntyre : Then what are you doin' here?

  Lenny Barnes : I came to apologize to Sharon about last night.

  McIntyre : Okay, she heard you, now move it.

  [Lenny doesn't move] 

  McIntyre : Are you hard of hearing, peckerhead? Huh? I said SPLIT!

• Lenny Barnes : [after Bobby catches Lenny, saving his life]  If you hadn't been here...

  Bobby : Yep! You'd be a pile of hamburger.

• Bobby : The way I see it, you got one major problem: No confidence. You got no confidence because you got no style. But we're gonna change all that.

  Lenny Barnes : How?

  Bobby : Same way we're gonna get that cute little blonde to notice you. I'm gonna give you a new image. I'm gonna give you flash!

• Lenny Barnes : [Seeing Bobby ecstatic whilst driving a Chevy]  When you passed away, it couldn't have been in a car accident, could it?

  Bobby : Yeah, how did you guess?

  Lenny Barnes : Just a hunch.

• Melissa : Lenny, the rumour is all over school that you're going to fight Fred Gallo. Is it true?

  [Lenny nods] 

  Melissa : What are you going to do?

  Lenny Barnes : Probably die.
