Quotes

Tuff Turf

  • Jimmy Parker: She belongs to Nick.
  • Morgan Hiller: C'mon Jimmy, Lincoln freed the slaves. All I want to do is talk to her.
  • Jimmy Parker: All I want to do is live!
  • Ronnie: Can you believe this place? There's not a zit in the house!
  • Jimmy Parker: Too bad they took your car, man.
  • Morgan Hiller: I don't own a car, man.
  • Frankie Croyden: How many bullets are left in this gun, Nick? Enough for Morgan? For my father? For everybody else who doesn't fit in your turf?
  • Page Hiller: Your bike is in pieces and you tell me nothing happened? Did you at least find out if they have any insurance?
  • Morgan Hiller: Insurance? This isn't Connecticut; no one has insurance around here!
  • Stuart Hiller: Can you fix it?
  • Morgan Hiller: Yeah, as soon as I learn how to walk on water, I'll get right on it, Dad.
  • Brian Hiller: If you leave this house, I'll have you picked up within 24 hours.
  • Morgan Hiller: Great, I could use all the help I can get tonight.
  • Jimmy Parker: Let me see your blade.
  • Feather: You'll never use it.
  • Jimmy Parker: Come on, maybe I want to clean my teeth, all right?
  • Feather: Be careful.
  • Feather: Come on, Ronnie, Jimmy isn't your type.
  • Ronnie: Well, maybe if you moved the hair out of your eyes...
  • Feather: Don't touch!
  • Ronnie: ...you'd see how wrong you are.
  • Frankie Croyden: Hey, everybody's staring at me.
  • Morgan Hiller: Yes, they are. Well, what's happening now is, you see; the girls are wondering where they've seen you before and the guys are wondering why the hell they haven't.
  • Morgan Hiller: What do I do right now?
  • Stuart Hiller: Right now, you do what you... really wanna do. Do whatever it is that you know is right. That you believe in. That's all. And feel good about it!
  • Stuart Hiller: ...Look, son. Life isn't a problem to be solved. It's a mystery to be lived. So live it.
  • Frankie Croyden: Excuse me! I promised I'd meet Ronnie at Woolworth's to look at wedding rings.
  • Morgan Hiller: Frankie, you don't belong to Nick.
  • Frankie Croyden: Well, maybe not. But, I don't belong to you, either.
  • Mickey: Rain from heaven, Maricon!
  • Page Hiller: That bike cost $500.
  • Morgan Hiller: No shit.
  • Morgan Hiller: You going to college?
  • Frankie Croyden: I'll be lucky if I even graduate. I'll probably just get married, don't need college for that.
  • Morgan Hiller: Your parents happy about that?
  • Frankie Croyden: My dad is... my mom died last year of cancer.
  • Mickey: How much longer are we gonna be doing this, man? I'm about to pee in my pants.
  • Eddie: So shoot it out the window, man. Christ, just use your head.
  • Mickey: Not a bad idea. Good news, America. Coming through. Hey, it's chilly out here.
  • Nick Hauser: I should just ice your ass right now.
  • Morgan Hiller: Yeah?
  • Nick Hauser: Yeah.
  • Morgan Hiller: Why? Because I danced with one of your boyfriends?
  • Ronnie: I don't know. If you ask me, he's either the toughest guy at Lawson or the stupidest.
  • Feather: No way. He went to one of those brain factories back east, and I mean the guy's head is totally crammed.
  • Frankie Croyden: Yeah, with bullshit!
  • Ronnie: Wow! Check out that lawn! It's a block-long of perfect green!
  • Morgan Hiller: It's a golf course, Ron.
  • Feather: So, are you going to get a ring?
  • Frankie Croyden: [sighs]
  • Ronnie: If you do, get it at Woolworth's. Suzie Rostelli got hers there; it almost looks like the real thing!
  • Feather: I saw it; it really does.
  • Ronnie: Amazing!
  • Stuart Hiller: Go easy on him tonight, Page. This means a lot to him.
  • Page Hiller: Mm-hmm. So did that girl he brought home for Easter last year. Remember? She was so stoned, all she could do was look at the peas and say, 'Wow, they're so green!'
  • Security Guard: There's no bike-riding on campus.
  • Morgan Hiller: I was sort of hoping I could take a quick ride through history.
  • Nick Hauser: Oh yeah, if I ever catch you near Frankie again, I'll take you out so fast, you won't even have time to spit.
  • Ronnie: At first I gagged. But, after awhile it's really easy. I mean you guys swallow, don't you?
  • Frankie Croyden: I thought things were supposed to be easy when you have money.
  • Morgan Hiller: It is, if you don't take it seriously.
  • Frankie Croyden: How do you do that?
  • Morgan Hiller: By letting it go. I don't think you can hold onto anything until you let it go.
  • Nick Hauser: It was all for you, Frankie.
  • Frankie Croyden: It was NEVER for me, it's your whole life.
  • Ronnie: Don't let them fool you, it's the 80s, size does matter... I mean not in bed, we're all the same size in bed.
