• Marybeth : You know in my world Casey, there were limitless oceans as far as the eye could see. Beautiful, huh? Till it started to dry out. So I escaped, came here, and I met you, all of you, and all of you were different from the others. You were lost and lonely, just like me. And I thought that maybe I could give you a taste of my world. A world without anger, without fear, without attitude. Where the underachiever goes home at night to parents who care. The jock can be smart, the ugly duckling beautiful, and the class wuss doesn't have to live in terror. The new girl - well - the new girl she can just fit right in with anybody. People who are just like her. You see Casey, even Mary-Beth's feelings can be hurt by a bunch of pathetic, lost, little outcasts who truly believe that their disaffected lonely life is the only way they can survive. I can make you a part of something so special Casey, so perfect, so fearless... Don't you want that, Casey?

  Casey : I'd rather be afraid!

  Marybeth : Fine. Alright. Have it your way! 'Cause this is where your land of fiction gets it right: we win. End of story!

• Zeke : Stan, take it.

  Stan : No way, you're takin' it!

  Casey : [laughing and obviously high]  You're takin' it!

  [Stan picks up gun and points it at Casey] 

  Stan : What the hell is wrong with him?

  Zeke : Nothing's wrong with him. He's tweaking you asshole! Let him fucking tweak!

  Casey : Tweak! Tweak!

• Coach Willis : You're not much into sports.

  Casey : I don't think that a person should run unless he's being chased.

  Coach Willis : "Being chased." I like that.

• Casey : If you were going to take over the world, would you blow up the White House 'Independence Day' style, or sneak in through the back door?

• Zeke : Here, take this.

  Casey : Now Marybeth.

  Zeke : Sniff it.

  Casey : You're out of your fucking mind!

  Zeke : I'm about to take my chances. I leave for five minutes, and when I come back everyone's a fucking alien. Now, if I have to Men In Black your ass, you're gonna fucking take it!

  [Casey sniffs it hasefuly] 

  Casey : Happy now?

• Delilah : Your fanclub is here.

  Casey : Network or local?

  Delilah : Both.

• Casey : God, you can be such a...

  Delilah : What?

  Casey : Pretty cool human being when you're not being a first class grade A bitch.

  Delilah : Are you hitting on me Casey?

  Casey : No. No, I just think that you can be cool. Sometimes. This not being one of them.

• Casey : You're not buying this, are you?

  Stokely : No, I'm not... but it's kinda cool.

• Stokely : What are we going to do with the police not being an option?

  Stan : I could call my dad, he'd know what to do.

  Casey : If he's really your dad anymore.

• Stokely : Body Snatchers is a story somebody made up, dingus. It's located in the fiction section of the library.

  Casey : Yeah, so is Schindler's List.

• Stan : Come on guys, this is nuts.

  Delilah : Then leave, Stan. Why are you hanging around? Go win a Pulitzer.

  Stan : Blow me, Delilah, 'cause I'm sick of your shit.

  Delilah : Well, then get the fuck out of here and take your little freak dyke with you.

  Stokely : Fuck you, tit bags!

  Casey : Will everybody calm down, please?

• Casey : [after being told to sniff scat]  Why me first?

  Zeke : It's your birthright man, just fucking take it.

• Stan : It must really blow being you.

  Casey : You have no idea.

• Casey : Everyone's been acting really weird, especially the faculty.

  Stokely : Tell me about it, it's like they've all turned into fucking pod people or something.

  Casey : Into what people?

  Stokely : Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Small town gets taken over by aliens... That was a joke.

• Stokely : So they've just been setting us up over the years with their E.T.'s and their Men In Black movies, just so no one would believe it if it ever happened.

  Casey : I think so.

• Zeke : Casey, the only person in this school who's an alien is you, man.

  Casey : Fuck you, Zeke.

• Delilah : Hello Casey. Where ya gonna go, huh? The class wuss... eternal little loser who comes to school everyday knowing this is it. You've been labeled 'pathetic' since first grade and you're afraid it's going to bleed over for the rest of your life. Well we can stop it Casey. We can help you belong. Isn't that what you really want?

  Casey : Please don't do this Delilah.

  Delilah : I haven't been this happy since... since... before my dad died. You know you want me Casey. Come on. Let's do it together.

• [last lines] 

  Casey : Things sure have changed, havent they?

• Casey : I say we go for the coach. He turned Stan. He's the one. Or do you want to wait for them to come to us?

  Marybeth : Either way we're completely unarmed.

  Zeke : Maybe not. I might have some more skat. In my trunk.

  Casey : In your trunk? In your car? Amongst the aliens? Oh, that's convenient.

  Zeke : [Holds up his car keys]  You got a better idea?

• Gabe : Hey yo, pisswad, you're in my way.

  Casey : I'm sorry. I was breathing here.

  Gabe : Yeah, that's the problem, you're occupying my air, anal probe.

• Zeke : You both take the drug.

  Casey : Ohh... showdown!

• Casey : We think aliens are taking over the school.
