Quotes

So This Is College

Eddie: No, don't yell "hay" at that horse!

Eddie: Well, well - hark ye, friends, roommates, countrymen; lend me your cheers.
[crowd of frat boys yell "Yeah!"]
Eddie: Oh, such rapturous greetings warms the chilled heart of your noble king!
[crowd yells "Long live the king!"]
Student: I'll take the queen!
Eddie: I thought you would. Now, hark ye - while I give to you the privileges of the season, there shall be no amusement tax on necking!
[crowd roars]

Eddie: Oh, boy - any good neckin' in sight for this year?
Biff: And why should this year be different?

Eddie: Guy, it's the same ol' room. Just as clean as a garage sink.
Biff: Yes, but it's home sweet home to us.
Eddie: You betcha!

Biff: [admiring handkerchief] Whoa, boy - where'd you get the swell rag?
Eddie: Do you like it?
Biff: Gee, that's a wow!

Eddie: I thought it would look swell with those big banjo eyes.

Biff: Why, you couldn't take a femme from me - blonde, brunette, red, gray, or bald!
Eddie: I not only take 'em from you, but I find you every honey you get. Why, if it weren't for me, you'd be playing the old ladies home - and not doing so well, either.

Eddie: What women want, that's me.
[Picks up the phone]
Biff: Yeah, ask her if her daughter's got a date for the night.

Eddie: [noticing Babs' sorority pin] Oh, the Pi Phi house. Well, I'll be around tonight about eight.
Babs: Am I supposed to burst out cheering?
Eddie: Not 'til after the first treatment.
Babs: [sarcastically] Oh, I can hardly wait.
Eddie: Don't be impatient! Goodbye.

Biff: You don't mean to tell me that an unprotected girl like yourself is going to be seen going to the campus candy store in broad daylight!
Babs: Well, why not? Is it so terrible?
Biff: Terrible? Why, I alone have dragged from that opiate-reeking atmosphere the bodies of innocent young girls; their sallow complexions give testimony to the lives they have lived. Sinful slaves to the chocolate drop. Shameful addicts to the bon-bons.

Biff: Oh, have no fear. Tonight, at the stroke of eight, I will arrive at?
Babs: Pi Phi house.
Biff: And will I be welcome on the mat - outside?
Babs: Em-hmm... and inside, too.

Biff: Say, don't wisecrack.
Eddie: Oh, you're gonna get high-hat with me over a girl, huh?
Biff: Yes, I am.
Eddie: Think you've landed a little exclusive necking.
Biff: She isn't that kind of a girl.
Eddie: Oh, don't make me laugh. Wait'll I put the works on her.

Biff: Whoopie-wow!

Biff: Heaven help the buzzard who stole that box of candy!

Babs: [doorbell rings] Oh, pardon me - I think that's for me.
Eddie: Oh, are you expecting somebody else?
Babs: Well, em - I am, rather.
Eddie: Fine - you bring him in, and I'll throw him out.

Eddie: Now that we're all here, I've got a great idea. Let's play Post Office.
Babs: Oh, that's a kid's game.
Eddie: Not the way I play it!

Eddie: You know, Babs, every time I look at Biff I can figure out why girls walk home.
[Babs laughs]
Biff: And you're the reason they run home!

Biff: Say, Babs, are you all dated up for the Glee Club hop?
Babs: No. I've been waiting for somebody to ask me. Somebody in particular.
Biff: Ha-ha-ha. Gee, that's great! Well, consider yourself asked.

Biff: Who let you back in this country?
Eddie: Aw, don't get hard-boiled, Biffy. Remember, you're only a three-minute egg.
Biff: Yeah, you and smallpox are my favorite diseases.

Eddie: Waste not the hours with yonder young horse pistol.
Biff: Don't while the night with nothingness with that numb-scullion.
Eddie: Oh, I beseech thee, young lady, put your OK on me.
Babs: I know - we'll settle this as if the fearless knights of old.
Biff: What do you mean?
Babs: Battle to the death - and the victor shall be my escort to the hop.

Eddie: Well, alright - you think you're the white-haired boy, now, dontcha? But, you wait. I'm like the undertaker - I get 'em in the end!

Babs: Aw, don't be silly, Biff. You know I like you.
Biff: You don't show it.
Babs: Well, what do you want me to do? Tattoo your name on my chest?
Biff: Oh, Babs, I wish you wouldn't talk like that. I only wanted to tell you that I - oh, gee, I'm all balled up.

Eddie: I'll be with you in half a shake, Babs.

Biff: You and I've been through a thousand female campaigns together.
Eddie: Yeah, boy!
Biff: We've shared our girls like we've shared our neckties.

Eddie: Well, I didn't know you felt that way about her, kid. That's different. Well, if that's the way it is, this is station M-E signing off.

Betty: So, Eddie's getting your goat. Passing you up, eh?

Babs: Eddie, what's the matter with you lately? Are you afraid of me?
Eddie: Yeah, I'm afraid you'll bite me.
Babs: Ha ha. You know I'm a vegetarian.

Eddie: Good night, honey baby.

Male Cheerleader With Megaphone: Alright, gang! Biff and Eddie, Three! Biff and Eddie! Rah! Rah! Rah! Biff and Eddie! Yeah!

Eddie: Babs, I - I want you to wear my fraternity pin at the game tomorrow. Will you?

Eddie: I got it bad over you.

Eddie: Babs, one little kiss, to remember me in the morning?
Babs: No, somebody might see us.
Eddie: Oh, just a little quickie!

Football Spectator: Sit down, eggs! Before I scramble ya!

Babs: Can you tell me where the English Building is?
Biff: Which one?
Babs: There are two English buildings?
Biff: Yeah - one was damaged in the last big earthquake; that's the Broken English building.

[last lines]
Eddie: Oh, you dirty crook! Listen - you'd even rob a cripple!
