Forgotten Birthday Acknowledged in Family Conversation
Jim Baker I was just upstairs, and I couldn't sleep. I feel like a real jerk, honey. We forgot your birthday. I bet you're really P.O.'d, huh?
Samantha No, it's okay. I'm not really all that upset anymore.
Jim Baker This wedding is really turning this entire house inside out. And I just came down to tell you that we did remember.
Samantha Thanks, Dad.
Jim Baker Happy birthday. Is something else wrong?
[Sighs]
Samantha No, why?
Jim Baker I don't know, I just get the feeling that something's bothering you. Something other than your birthday.
Samantha No, I'm fine. Really.
Jim Baker I think I know what it is. It has to do with a certain guy? I know, honey. I know. We're all upset that Ginny's marrying a bohunk. What's the matter?
Samantha I meant Jake.
[Sighs]
Jim Baker Jake? Wait a minute. I thought she said his name was Rudy.
Samantha Forget it.
Jim Baker Forget what? Who's Jake?
Samantha He's a boy, Daddy. It's nothing. Okay? Just forget it, please.
Jim Baker Come on, Sam. We're not communicating.
Samantha It's extremely embarrassing, okay?
Jim Baker What's embarrassing?
Samantha Sitting in the dark with your dad, telling him about your love life.
Jim Baker I'm afraid you lost me again, Sam.
Samantha Jake is a senior, and he's beautiful and perfect. I like him a real lot, and he doesn't like me. Okay?
Jim Baker Oh.
Samantha And he's got this incredible girlfriend. I'm just this ridiculous dork that's following him around like a puppy.
Jim Baker Why do you think you're a dork? I don't think you're a dork. I don't think Mom thinks you're a dork.
Samantha Mike thinks I'm a dork.
Jim Baker Mike is a dork.
Samantha But so am I.
Jim Baker Well, if it's any consolation, I love you. And if this guy can't see in you all the beautiful and wonderful things that I see, then he's got the problem.
Samantha I know. It just hurts.
Jim Baker That's why they call them crushes. If they were easy, they'd call em something else.
Samantha But if I were Ginny, I'd have this guy crawling on his knees.
Jim Baker Well, let me tell you something about Ginny. Now, I love her as much as I love you. But she's a different person. Sometimes I worry about her. When you're given things kind of easily, you don't always appreciate them. With you, I'm not worried. When it happens to you, Samantha, it'll be forever.

Taglines It's the time of your life that may last a lifetime.
Miscommunication Over a Phone Call
Howard Baker Are you the little beggar that's been calling up here all night and then hanging up?
[to Jake Ryan on the phone]
Jake Would it be possible for you to tell me if there's a Samantha Baker here? And if there is, may I speak with her briefly?

A Conversation About Someone's Belongings
Jake These are really hers?
[about Samantha's panties]
The Geek Yeah.
Jake How did you get em?
The Geek She gave em to me.
Jake Did you...
The Geek No! No, Jake. She's cranked for you. I told her you asked about her, right? The girl freaked. She had a fit. She thinks you're the cat's meow!
Jake Really? She came up to me in the gym tonight. She looked at me like I was a leper.
The Geek Girls will do that, Jake. You know? They know that guys are like in perpetual heat, right? They know we do it, and they enjoy pumping us up. It's pure power politics, I'm telling you.
Jake I thought she hated my guts.
The Geek Games, Jake. Silly torturous games. You know how many times I've gone without lunch because some bitch borrows my lunch money? Any halfway decent girl can rob me - blind! Because I'm too torqued up to say no. It's heinous, I'm telling you.
Jake You better not be dickin me around. It'd be a major downer to try and get together with this girl and find out that she really does think I'm a slime.
The Geek Jake, would I dick you? Let me put it to you this way: what happens to me if I dick you?
Jake Heh, I'd kick your ass.
The Geek Right! So why would I lie? But I feel compelled to mention to you, Jake, that if all you want of the girl is a piece of ass, I mean, I'll either do it myself, or get someone bigger than me to kick your ass. I mean, not many girls in contemporary American society today would give their underwear to help a geek like me.
Jake I can get a piece of ass anytime I want. Shit, I've got Caroline in the bedroom right now, passed out cold. I could violate her ten different ways if I wanted to.
The Geek What are you waiting for?
[almost chokes on a pretzel]
Jake I don't know. She's beautiful, and she's built and all that. I'm just not interested anymore.
[Sighs]
The Geek Does that really matter, guy?
Jake Yeah, it matters. She's totally insensitive. Look what she did to my house. She doesn't know shit about love. Only thing she cares about is partying. I want a serious girlfriend. Somebody I can love, that's gonna love me back. Is that psycho?
The Geek That's beautiful, Jake.
Unrequited Love and Reality Check
Randy Jake Ryan? He doesn't even know you exist.
[Samantha has filled out an "anonymous" sex quiz naming her crush, which has fallen into unknown hands]
Samantha Thank you, that's a very nice thing to say.
Randy I'm sorry, but Jake Ryan? He's a senior, and he's taken. I mean, really taken.
Samantha I know. He's supposed to be my ideal.
Randy He's ideal for sure, but, forget it.
Samantha God, I hope whoever got the note doesn't know it was me who wrote it. I'd shit twice and die.
