Quotes 

• 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 : 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.

• 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 : 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!

• 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.

• 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.

• 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!

• [last lines] 

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