Allison Ng: And here I am complaining about my sunglasses.
Brian Gilcrest: And here I am complaining about nothing.
Cab driver: It's Spider-Man!
Gwen Stacy: Stop the cab.
Cab driver: Lady, I ain't even moving!
Gwen Stacy: I know that we all think that we're immortal. We're supposed to feel that way, we're graduating. But, like our brief four years in high school, what makes life valuable is that it doesn't last forever. What makes it precious is that it ends, and I know that now more than ever, and I say it, today of all days, to remind us that time is luck. So don't waste it living someone else's life. Make yours count for something. Fight for what matters to you, no matter what. Because even if we fall short, what better way is there to live?
Gwen Stacy: How did you get up here?
Peter Parker: The fire escape.
Gwen Stacy: That's twenty stories.
Peter Parker: Your doorman's intimidating.
Peter Parker: I've got to stop him, because I created him.
Gwen Stacy: That's not your job...
Peter Parker: Maybe it is.
Bobby Riggs: You and me, Billie Jean. Three sets, five sets - your choice.
Billie Jean King: Are you drunk, Bobby?
Bobby Riggs: No, of course not. How about this: "Man vs. Woman." "Male Chauvinist Pig vs Hairy-Legged Feminist."
Bobby Riggs: No offense. You're still a feminist, right?
Billie Jean King: No, I'm a tennis player who happens to be a woman.
Cuthbert 'Ted' Tinling: Now I have to ask, do you really intend to inflict blue suede shoes on ninety million members of the viewing public?
Billie Jean King: If they're good enough for Elvis, they're good enough for me.
Hannah: Will you take off your shirt... Fuck! Seriously? It's like you're Photoshopped!
Olive Penderghast: Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life.
Marianne: There's a higher power that will judge you for your indecency.
Olive Penderghast: Tom Cruise?
Brandon: Do you wanna go out with me?
Olive Penderghast: Brandon, just a couple of hours ago you told me you were gay.
Brandon: You said I should pretend to be straight.
Olive Penderghast: I didn't mean with me!
Brandon: I am tormented every day at school. Just one good, imaginary fling.
Rhiannon: You're being pretty cavalier about this. Aren't you supposed to be eternally in love with him and shit?
Olive Penderghast: Yes... I believe so, if I was the Gossip Girl in Sweet Valley of the Traveling Pants.
Rosemary: I had a similar situation when I was your age. I had a horrible reputation.
Olive Penderghast: Why?
Rosemary: Because I slept with a whole bunch of people. Mostly guys.
Olive Penderghast: Mom!
Olive Penderghast: That's the one thing that trumps religion... Capitalism.
Olive Penderghast: The rumors of my promiscuity have been greatly exaggerated.
