Cynthia : I call it the "every other decade" theory. The 50's were boring. The 60's rocked. The 70's, my god, they obviously suck. So maybe the 80s will be like, radical. I figure we'll be in our 20's and hey, it can't get any worse.

Cynthia : God, don't you ever feel like everything we do and everything we've been taught is just to service the future?
Tony : Yeah I know, like it's all preparation.
Cynthia : Right. But what are we preparing ourselves for?
Mike : Death.
Tony : Life of the party.
Mike : It's true.
Cynthia : You know, but that's valid because if we are all gonna die anyway shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now? You know, I'd like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor insignificant preamble to something else.
