• (Matthew Lillard) "A Porshe, that you bought at a Volkswagen dealership. Volkswagen, right? For the people who designed it? Who made that possible, Let me give you a hint, Adolf Hitler."
• (Adam Pascal) "IT'S JUST A CAR."

• (Matthew Lillard) "To be an anarchist in Salt Lake City was certainly no easy task, especially in 1985. And having no money, no job, no plans for the future, the true anarchist position was in itself a strenuous job."

• (Matthew Lillard) "The sun never sets on the British Empire -- well the sun never sets on my asshole."

• (Matthew Lillard) "I love you guys, don't get me wrong. But for the first time in my life I'm eighteen and I can say fuuuuck youuu."

• (Liquor Store Man) "What the hell are you?"
• (Matthew Lillard) "ooo, we come from the east in search of the Messiah. We followed that big star"
• (Adam Pascal) "Yeah, we bring gold, and frankincense."
• (Matthew Lillard) "You see it?"
• (Adam Pascal) "and myrrh."
• (Adam Pascal) "Myrrh."
• (Liquor Store Man) "You do what?"

• (Liquor Store Man) "Oh my God. Who let you boys out of the state institute? We'd better get you boys back in the hospital."
• (Michael A. Goorjian) "No, no, no, no, no, it's all right, man. We're from England."
• (Liquor Store Man) "England?"
• (Michael A. Goorjian) "Yeah, that's right. That's probably why we seem so weird to you, man."
• (Liquor Store Man) "England, huh? Well that explains it I guess."

• (Matthew Lillard) "I mean, I knew a girl, right, who'd only have sex with a guy if he had a f***in' accent. Can you think of anything more ludacris in your life? So every asshole in Salt Lake City, and let me tell ya, plenty assholes in this general region, that wanna do a little of this, would get her drunk and put on some kind of stupid f***ing accent like 'Ello mistress, do you fancy a shag?' And there she would, f***in' knees to the sky. It was sad, it made me really sad. Poor girl had no self respect."

• (Matthew Lillard) "It wasn't that I loved Sandy, I knew that we had an understanding. But I discovered then that Chris was right, all things had systems, even me. I was about to beat the living s*** out of this guy because he had invaded my territory. It was MY territory, no question about it, just like in the wild. I was following nature, and nature was order and order is the system."

• (Matthew Lillard) "Posers were people who looked like punks but they did it for fashion. And they were fools, they'd say "anarchy in the UK." What the f***'s that? Anarchy in the UK. What good is that to those of us in Utah, America? It was a Sex Pistols thing. They were British, they were allowed to go on about Anarchy in the UK. You don't live your life by lyrics."

• (Matthew Lillard) "And so there I was. I was gonna go to Harvard. It was obvious. I was gonna be a lawyer and play in the God-damned system, and that was that. I was my old man. He knew, so what else could I do? I mean, there's no future in anarchy; I mean let's face it. But when I was into it, there was never a thought of the future. I mean we were certain the world was gonna end, but when it didn't, I had to do something, so f*** it. I could always be a litigator in New York and piss the s*** out of the judges. I mean that was me: a trouble maker of the future. The guy that was one of those guys that my parents so arrogantly saved the world for, so we could f*** it up. We can do a hell of a lot more damage in the system than outside of it. That was the final irony, I think. That, and well, this. And "f*** you" for all of you who were thinking it: I guess when all was said and done, I was nothing more than a God-damned, trendy-ass poser."

• (Matthew Lillard) "Only posers die you f***ing idiot."

• (Matthew Lillard) "The Fight: What does it mean and where does it come from? An Essay: Homosapien. A man. He is alone in the universe. A punker. Still a man. He is alone in the universe, but he connects. How? They hit each other. No clearer way to evaluate whether or not you're alive. Now. Complications. A reason to fight. Somebody different. Difference creates dispute. Dispute is a reason to fight. Now, to fight is a reason to feel pain. Life is pain. So to fight with reason is to be alive with reason. Final analysis: To fight, a reason to live. Problems and Contradictions: I am an anarchist. I believe that there should be no rules, only chaos. Fighting appears to be chaos. And when we slam in the pit a show it is. But when we fight for a reason, like rednecks, there's a system, we fight for what we stand for, chaos. Fighting is a structure, fighting is to establish power, power is government and government is not anarchy. Government is war and war is fighting. The circle goes like this: our redneck skirmishes are cheap perversions of conventional warfare. War implies extreme government because wars are fought to enforce rules or ideals, even freedom. But other people ideals forced on someone else, even if it is something like freedom, is still a rule; not anarchy. This contradiction was becoming clear to me in the fall of '85. Even as early as my first party, "Why did I love to fight?" I framed it, but still, I don't understand it. It goes against my beliefs as a true anarchist. But there it was. Competition, fighting, capitalism, government, THE SYSTEM. That's what we did. It's what we always did. Rednecks kicked the s*** out of punks, punks kicked the s*** out of mods, mods kicked the s*** out of skinheads, skinheads took out the heavy metal guys, and the heavy metal guys beat the living s*** out of new wavers and the new wavers did nothing. What was the point? Final summation? None."

• (Matthew Lillard) "'Ello, mistress. do you fancy a SHAG?"

• (Matthew Lillard) "It's like f***ing Jesus Christ took a s*** and it landed right here, so you can be happy all you f***ing want."

• (Matthew Lillard) "Wait, time out. I just wanted to ask real quick, if I can. You believe in rebellion, freedom and love, right?"
• (Mom) "Absolutely, yes."
• (Adam Pascal) "Rebellion, freedom, love."
• (Matthew Lillard) "You two are divorced. So love failed. Two: Mom, your a New Ager, clinging to every scrap of Eastern religion that may justify why the above said love failed. Three: Dad, you're a slick, corporate, preppy-ass lawyer. I don't really have to say anything else about you do I dad? Four: You move from New York City, the Mecca and hub of the cultural world to Utah. Nowhere. To change nothing. More to perpetuate this cycle of greed, fascism and triviality. Your movement of the people, by and for the people got you -- nothing. You just hide behind some lost sense of drugs, sex and rock and roll. Ooooh, Kumbaya. I am the future. I am the future of this great nation which you, father, so arrogantly saved this world for. Look, I have my own agenda. Harvard, out. University of Utah, in. I'm gonna get a 4.0 in damage. I love you guys. Don't get me wrong, it's all about this. But for the first time in my life, I'm 18 and I can say "FUUUUUCK YOU.""
• (Adam Pascal) "Steven, I didn't sell out son. I bought in. Keep that in mind. That kid's gonna make a hell of a lawyer, huh?"
• (Mom) "Yeah, he takes after his father. He's a son of a bitch."
• (Adam Pascal) "Well f*** you dear."

• (Matthew Lillard) "I like Sandy. Now Sandy has nothing to do with anarchy in general, she's just a beautiful, wonderful, funny, witty, loving, sexy, tough-as-nails, little weird girl, and I absolutely adore her. I like Sandy a lot."

• (Matthew Lillard) "Where were we going? I mean, really, what was happening? This life, it was crazy. I felt tired. I mean, halfway through the season, I just felt, inside, I was so tired. And I had this wave of melancholy just like sweep through me."

• (Matthew Lillard) "I don't know who started it and I don't give a f***. The one thing I do know is that we did it harder, we did it faster, and we definitely did it with more love, baby. You can't take that away from us."

• (Matthew Lillard) "You see life is like that. We change, that's all. You see, the guy I am now is not the guy I was then. If the guy I was then met the guy I am now he'd beat the s*** out of me. Those are the facts."

• (Matthew Lillard) "What do you do when your foundation falls apart? I don't know. They don't teach you that in school."

• (Michael A. Goorjian) "I don't know. I'd have to think about that."
