Quotes 

• 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!

• 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.

• 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!

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
