Life Lessons for Adolescents by Cameron Crowe-If you want your money back, there is a form to fill out-All the Action is in the food court-If a boy says anything remotely funny, laugh like you've never laughed before-There will be no eating in class-No shirt, no shoes, no dice-Do your own business on your own time but.......-....if we're together, it's OUR time-Ask for your waitress's phone number as part of your food order-Cultivating the Pat Benatar look doesn't necessarily make you better in bed-Relax your throat muscles, don't bite, slide it in-If someone just switched to Sanka, have a heart-A girl decides how far she's going to let you go in the first 5 minutes-If you keep doing it, it gets a lot better-A single successful guy needs his freedom-You've gotta flip them or they'll burn-If you threaten a customer, or use profanity in any way, you're fired-'Spirit Bunny' is such a putdown-People on ludes should not drive-There is a five point plan for girls-Surfing is a way of looking at a wave and saying, "Hey bud, let's party!"-And above all else, FUCKING KNOCK!!!
this just further proves my theory that i cant survive american high school in the 80s because i have glasses and braces and i fall for every single boy who smiles at me
