Ronald Miller

• [to Cindy] You can do anything you want, anything you put your heart and mind into!

• You ignored the Donald Miller geek for seventeen years, now you want to ride the Ronnie Miller express!

• [to his dad, about his brother] Here is the primate example. You're raising a doll-chopping homicidal maniac, and what do you do every time you see him? You give him money. Great!

• [Talking to Cindy outside her house] I need to talk to you. Every time I call you're either taking a bath, washing your hair or you're out of the country. That was a good one, by the way.

• Nerds, jocks. My side, your side. It's all bullshit. Its hard enough just trying to be yourself.

Cindy Mancini

• Guys, take a look at my forehead... do you see a sign that says information?

• [to Ronald] Iris? Oh yeah, she's a big conquest. She's given more rides than Greyhound!

Others

• Chuckie Miller: [about Ronald's card nights] Cards with the tards. Who could beat a night of cards, chips, dips and dorks?

• Patty: [about Ronald] I mean, he went from totally geek, to totally chic!

• Patty: [about Ronald] Like we're not supposed to know he's SPYING on us in his SPAZ-mobile.

• Quint: [walking into the New Year's party] Quinton is in! Let the fun begin!

• Kenneth: [to Ronald] You shit on my house!

• Jock: Look - it's a nerd herd!

Dialogue

Patty: Cool outfit!

Barbara: What a severe suede!

Cindy Mancini: You guys, it's no big deal. Bobby sent it to me from Iowa. You know they have fine leathers down there.

Patty: Oh, yeah. The best leathers come from Rome, Paris, and Des Moines!

Ronald Miller: I'm going to a party. John Richmond's, with Cindy Mancini.

Chuckie Miller: Cindy Mancini? Senior, captain of the cheerleaders, most beautiful girl in the history of this county?

Ronald Miller: That's her. Well, I'm late, gotta bolt.

Chuckie Miller: Bolt? Something stinks in suburbia.

Patty: Didn't you like, used to mow our lawn?

Ronald Miller: Yes, and you have the nicest pair of rhododendrons in town!

Patty: Rhodo-who's?

Cindy Mancini: Guys, I'll see you in home ec, OK?

Barbara: What did he say?

Patty: I don't care! Dig on his shirt...

Cindy Mancini: The moon looks different now, it's not as mysterious or romantic as before.

Ronald Miller: I'm sorry I ruined it for you.

Cindy Mancini: You didn't ruin it, you just changed it I guess.

Cindy Mancini: [to Ronald, after their fake break-up] Whatever happens to your popularity, stay yourself, don't change to please others.

Ronald Miller: Me change? Never.

Chuckie Miller: Chillin!

Ronald's Dad: Shut up, Chuck!

Chuckie Miller: I was talking to Ma!

Ronald's Mom: Shut up, Chuck!

Patty: Are you into long distance relationships?

Ronald Miller: No.

Patty: Now, then why don't you reach out and touch someone?

[puts his hands on her breasts]

Barbara: Why wouldn't we go out with Ronald. I mean he's cute and sweet...

Patty: And good...

[Cindy and Barbara stare at her]

Patty: Come on, a lady never talks.

Cindy Mancini: Well I'll have to remember that the next time I see one.

Ronald Miller: What's his name, Biff?

Cindy Mancini: Don't give me that! His name happens to be... Brett!

Ronald Miller: Is there a difference?

Chuckie Miller: You nuked my brother.

Cindy Mancini: What?

Chuckie Miller: You took him from "geek" status to "king" status to no status.

Cindy Mancini: Chuckie Miller, right? He resorted to sending his messenger boy?

Chuckie Miller: Boy? I see no boy here.

[Cindy puts powder on his face]

Chuckie Miller: You think you shut me up?

Cindy Mancini: I didn't? Well, let me try again.

[attempts to put lipstick on Chuckie, who leaves]

Chuckie Miller: [to his friends] Babe said it was good for my complexion.
