I just want to be home watching cartoons!

Dialogue
Cop: Hey, kid. Why do you wear sunglasses at night?
Vince Latello: Because when you're cool, the sun shine on you 24 hours a day.
Det. Nulty: What's your name, cowboy?
Bob Roberts: Robert Roberts, Esquire to you, honky!
Bob Roberts: You guys cut my science final! What's with you guys? Where were you?
Michael Harlan: We got kinda hung up in the auto shop...
Vince Latello: Yeah, in the ozone.
Bob Roberts: In the ozone, Blowzone! I'm tired of you four-F's! Let me tell you something, unless your project is dyno-supreme, you both get D's!
Vince Latello: [eagerly] Hey I'll take it!
Vince Latello: My old man says, "Treat broads like dirt and they love ya."
Michael Harlan: Oh, yeah? So where's your old lady?
Vince Latello: My parents are divorced.
Sherman: This plant has been extinct for sixty billion years!
Vince Latello: Yeah? Well I ain't ever seen one before!
Bob Roberts: This thing is generating power and light without heat, Michael!
Michael Harlan: How is that possible?
Bob Roberts: It's not possible! I mean not on this world, anyway.
Vince Latello: Whoa, what other world are we talking about?
Vince Latello: Hey, I hit on Sawyer once.
Michael Harlan: Oh yeah?
Vince Latello: Yeah, I tried to give her this Italian macho bod.
Michael Harlan: What did she do?
Vince Latello: Poor girl lost out. She called me a name I had to look up in the dictionary!
Michael Harlan: [at the school library counter] We need a book.
Sherman: Oh, a car book?
Vince Latello: [mockingly] A car book?
Michael Harlan: No, a book on strange things.

Ellie Sawyer: Caps to the legs, legs to the dynamite.
Michael Harlan: Come on!
Ellie Sawyer: Hey, good thing I watch TV, huh?
