John Waters, Cry-Baby, 1990.

Neal Schweiber: The dance is tomorrow. She’s a cheerleader. You’ve seen Star Wars 47 times. You do the math.

“Freaks and Geeks“, produced by Judd Apatow, 1999-2000. Possibly the best portrayal of 1980s high school life since John Hughes. An amazing supporting cast (Linda Cardellini, Jason Segel, Joe Flaherty, Dave ‘Gruber’ Allen, Thomas “Biff” Wilson, Jason Schwartzman) + killer retro soundtrack (Joan Jett, XTC, Styx, The Who) = comedy gold.

Mr. Weir: She’s hanging with a bad crowd. She’s lying and cheating and next thing you know she’s Patty Hearst with a gun to our heads.

Kowchevski: Ladies, this is just for tomorrow’s scrimmage. This isn’t the last chopper out of Saigon. Can we please just crank down the drama a notch?

Millie: You’re high!
Lindsay: How could you tell?
Millie: I know what high people look like. I went to a Seals and Crofts concert last summer.

Harold Weir: Everyone’s a Democrat until they get a little money. Then they come to their senses!

Neal: Everyone looks cool in turtle necks. That’s the point! We can’t both wear them; we’ll look like the Smothers Brothers!

Bill: Stop looking up my shorts.

Neal: Why would we? There’s nothing to see.

Sam: Just keep climbing, Wonder Woman.

Bill: There is something to see.
