Quotes
-
Matthew : No, he's not a stranger. He's just strange.
-
Chester : You've got to change your behavior.
Matthew : Oh and what'd I do?
Chester : What'd you do? A girl doesn't give the opposing team the finger and tell their coach, "Up yours!" A girl doesn't refer to the referee a blind bastard. A girl doesn't slap another girl on the ass and say, "You're hot stuff!" And a girl doesn't say "I gotta take a leak so bad I can taste it!"

Chester : Just remember, we gotta be careful. I don't want your mother to find out, she'll kill me.
Matthew : God, I can't believe I'm doing this!
Chester : Don't worry, I'll be finished soon.
Matthew : Ow! Take it easy, that hurts!
Chester : Don't worry, if it's too tight you'll get used to it.

Bess : [answers the car phone] Hello. Yeah, yeah, he's right here. Hold on. Chester, it's Martha.
Chester : [drives off the road]
Bess : Chester!
Chester : I'm sorry. I thought I saw a raccoon.
[takes the phone]
Chester : Martha, why are you calling me?
Matthew : Would you rather I call my mother, Chester?
Chester : [laughingly] No, no, no, no, no, no.
Matthew : Listen, Chester, I'm in big trouble. I'm at the Mullen's house. Mrs. Mullen took all the girls to her house after practice. She insisted that I go with them.
Chester : Well, just have your ice cream and cake and go home.
[laughs nervously]
Matthew : Oh, listen, genius, if it was that simple, I wouldn't have called you.
[whispers]
Matthew : Now all the girls are going skinny-dipping.
Chester : [drives off the road again] I tell you, Bess, those raccoons are all over the place.

Matthew : Gimme another one.
Soda Shop Counterman : Kid, you've had enough. You're gonna spoil your dinner. Why don't you go on home?
Matthew : No, I don't want to go home. Come on, gimme another one.
Soda Shop Counterman : Kid, the way you're drinkin', you must have a girl problem.
Matthew : Yeah.
Soda Shop Counterman : Tell me about it. Maybe I could help.
Matthew : How could *you* help *me*?
Soda Shop Counterman : With girls, I been through it all. I been stood up, shook up, hung up, screwed up, and tied up. What's your problem? Y'all have a fight?
Matthew : No, no, no, we never fight. No, we get along great. We laugh together, we like the same music, the same sports. No, we get along just great.
Soda Shop Counterman : Then what's the problem?
Matthew : She don't know I'm a boy.
Soda Shop Counterman : Kid, with this girl, I don't know what you're doin', but you must be doin' it wrong.
