My fav quotes:
“We’re so cool”–Lynn on Girls Just Want to Have Fun
“I do have a test today, that wasn’t bullsh!t. It’s on European Socialism. I mean what’s the point? I’m not European, I don’t plan on being European, so who gives a sh!t if their socialists?” Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (I can quote this entire movie)

Ash had many from “Army of Darkness”. The best one was “Good, bad…I’m the one one with the gun.”
“Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion” – Kitty Farmer, ‘Donnie Darko’ (I don’t know why that one line sticks with me, but it does)
