- Lewis: Do any of you have dates, besides Gilbert?
- Lamar: I do!
- Booger: Yeah, but that's with a guy.
- Lewis: Well, what about you, Booger?
- Booger: I've been out combing the High Schools all day!
- Booger: Big deal. Did you get in her pants?
- Gilbert: She's not that kind of girl, Booger.
- Booger: Why? Does she have a penis?
- Poindexter: Would you rather live in the ascendancy of a civilization, or during its decline?
- Omega-Mu Woman: Poindexter, do you want to fuck, or not?
- Betty: Are all nerds as good as you?
- Lewis: Yes.
- Betty: How come?
- Lewis: 'Cause all jocks ever think about is sports. All we ever think about is sex.
- Gibert: I just wanted to say that I'm a nerd, and I'm here tonight to stand up for the rights of other nerds. I mean uh, all our lives we've been laughed at and made to feel inferior. And tonight, those bastards, they trashed our house. Why? Because we're smart? Because we look different? Well, we're not. I'm a nerd, and uh, I'm pretty proud of it.
- Lewis: Hi, Gilbert. I'm a nerd too. I just found that out tonight. We have news for the beautiful people. There's a lot more of us then there are of you. I know there's alumni here tonight. When you went to Adams you might've been called a spazz, or a dork, or a geek. Any of you that have ever felt stepped on, left out, picked on, put down, whether you think you're a nerd or not, why don't you just come down here and join us. Okay? Come on.
- Gibert: Just join us cause uh, no-one's gonna really be free until nerd persecution ends.
