Quotes 

• Tawny Dean : Twitty, don't worry. No one knows the real Louis better than I do. And deep down, he's classy, caring... and very, very intelligent.

  Louis Stevens : [to Blake and Ivan]  I LOVE YOU, GUYS!

  Tawny Dean : I think I'm gonna keep an eye on him too.

• Louis Stevens : Okay, now is the part where you tell me I'm your hero and you can kiss me.

  Tawny Dean : Don't push it.

• Twitty : Dude, we're friends.

  Louis Stevens : Yeah, we are. I'm never gonna forget this.

  [standing in the middle of Twitty and Tawny, all with their arms around each other] 

  Tawny Dean : Yeah, I'm tearing up here.

• Tawny Dean : It's good that things are getting back to normal between us. Things are back to normal, right?

  [neither Louis or Twitty answers at first] 

  Louis Stevens : Em... Wait a second...

  [sticks two carrot pieces up his nostrils] 

  Louis Stevens : Okay, now we're back to normal!

  [Louis, Tawny and Twitty laughs] 

• Twitty : Yeah, Blake did a Doc Dennier's Hot Dog commercial, like, a couple of years ago.

  Louis Stevens : Doc Denniers? Right... Doc Denniers! That's right!

  Twitty : Yep, man, Blake's all about acting.

  Louis Stevens : I love that commercial. I remember the song. It goes, um... "If it's not Doc Denniers, you're just eating wieners."

  Twitty : Yeah, man, that's him.

  Louis Stevens : [to Tawny]  You remember that commercial?

  Tawny Dean : I don't eat wieners.

  Louis Stevens : Okay...

• Louis Stevens : [impersonates Austin Powers]  Groovy, baby. Yeah.

  Ren Stevens : What are you doing?

  Louis Stevens : Oh, this? Just trying out some new routines for my new crew.

  Ren Stevens : Your new crew? Listen to you, with your overnight popularity... You're starting to sound like Larry Beale. Translation: Ew!

  Louis Stevens : What's wrong with you?

  Ren Stevens : I think I lost my mojo.

  Louis Stevens : No. You never had a mojo.

  Ren Stevens : You're probably right.

  Louis Stevens : What? You're not gonna yell at me? Help! Dr. Evil has replaced my sister with some cheap, ugly robot!

• Tawny Dean : Louis, you may not know this, but I'm fond of you. And so is Twitty. But we think... We're worried you've become a pod person.

  Louis Stevens : So... So, now that I have new friends, I'm a pod person?

  Tawny Dean : Don't take this the wrong way.

  Louis Stevens : [angry]  I can't help it! Every day, it's been like, "Louis, stop with the Brando," "Louis, get a new act..." How am I supposed to feel?

  Tawny Dean : [pauses]  You're taking this the wrong way.

• Twitty : I thought there had been a little bad blood between you and Blake.

  Louis Stevens : No, there's no bad blood. There's no blood! Do I look like I'm bleeding?

• Louis Stevens : For those of you keeping score at home: My new friends... they don't like me. My old friends... they don't like me. So I guess the score is friends, zero. Louis, really zero. I don't know, I guess maybe next time, I'll think twice before I save a guy's life.

• [Louis rides his bike, before he hears a yelling] 

  Tawny Dean : Help! Help!

  [Louis hears it, and sees a sign saying: "Damsel in distress". He goes on and finds another sign, which says: "That means you, Louis." Louis continues and sees Tawny in the middle of a train track] 

  Louis Stevens : Woah! What...? Tawny? What the heck are you doing? This isn't another one of your protests, is it?

  Tawny Dean : Are you going to save me or not?

  Louis Stevens : Save you from what?

  [train whistle follows. We see a small black model train, with a laughing Twitty driving it] 

  Louis Stevens : Twitty? You guys have completely lost your minds!

  Tawny Dean : Okay, I'm gonna talk you through this.

  Louis Stevens : Good.

  Tawny Dean : Okay, I'm tied to the tracks. The train is coming. The hero... that would be you... rides up on his bike and saves me. In the nick of time.

  [the train moves closer] 

  Tawny Dean : [flatly]  Oh, no... It's the evil Twitty... Save my life, and I will forever be your friend...

  [Louis doesn't react at once] 

  Tawny Dean : Hm? Beats the Heimlich maneuver.

• Blake Thompson : [talking on the phone]  No, I'm not gonna... No, that is not something I'm gonna be doing. Because, I mean, do you know who I am? I mean, it's not going to happen. No. No, no, no, no, no. That's not kind of thing that I would do. No. No, you're not listening to me. What I'm saying is, it's just not what happens with Blake Thompson. It's just not gonna...

  [Blake's attention is turned to Louis, who is several feet away telling a funny story to a group of kids, including Ivan] 

  Louis Stevens : And then I said to the teacher... .

  Blake Thompson : If Blake Thompson doesn't feel that it'd be good for him, I don't think Blake Thompson should have to do it. I mean, do you know what I'm saying?

  Louis Stevens : ...The teacher. I swear.

  Blake Thompson : Yeah, yeah, I'm still... I'm still here. Uh-huh. I'm a very important person. This is not the kind of thing I would... No! No, you're not listening to me. What I'm saying is it's not gonna happen. No. No, no, no, no, no.

  [Ivan comes up] 

  Ivan : Blake, you gotta come see Louis, man. It's hilarious.

  Blake Thompson : Yeah? Since when did Louis become the center of the universe?

  Ivan : I just thought maybe you'd like some of his jokes or something, that's all.

  Blake Thompson : No, dude, grow up. The guy's a dork.

  Ivan : Oh, yeah. I was kidding. Total dork. I'll see you later.

  [He leaves] 

  Blake Thompson : Yeah. Yeah.

  [Goes back to the phone] 

  Blake Thompson : Okay. No. No. Okay, fine, Mom, you win. I'll clean my room. Geez. I gotta go.

  [He hangs up]
