Quotes 

• Dewey Finn : [on sticking it to "The Man"]  Yes! But, you can't just say it, man. You've gotta feel it in your blood and guts! If you wanna rock, you gotta break the rules. You gotta get mad at the man! And right now, I'm the man. That's right, I'm the man, and who's got the guts to tell me off? Huh? Who's gonna tell me off?

  Freddy Jones : Shut the hell up, Schneebly!

  Dewey Finn : That's it Freddy, that's it! Who can top him?

  Alicia : Get outta here, stupid ass!

  Dewey Finn : Yes, Alicia!

  Summer Hathaway : You're a joke! You're the worst teacher I've ever had!

  Dewey Finn : Summer, that is great! I like the delivery because I felt your anger!

  Summer Hathaway : [proudly]  Thank you.

  Lawrence : You're a fat loser and you have body odor.

  Dewey Finn : ...All right, all right! Now, is everybody nice and pissed off?

• Dewey Finn : [half asleep]  How'd you guys get in there?

  Freddy Jones : Front door was open.

  Dewey Finn : Why aren't you guys at school?

  Lawrence : We did what you told us. We stuck it to the Man.

  Dewey Finn : Forget about everything I told you. Look, I'm a loser, okay? You listen to my advice, you'll end up like me with nothing.

  Freddy Jones : Come on, man, quit goofing around. This is serious business. We're on a mission. One great rock show could change the would. Look out the window.

  Dewey Finn : [looks outside to find the school bus with all the other kids calling for him to come down]  No way... That is so punk rock...

• Summer Hathaway : [concerned]  What's wrong?

  Dewey Finn : What's wrong, Summer? Didn't you hear? We lost!

  Freddy Jones : Hey, chill out, dude. Rock isn't about getting an A. The Sex Pistols never won anything.

  Lawrence : Don't let the Man get you down.

  Zack Mooneyham : [deeply agrees]  Yeah I mean, dude, you gotta cheer up. We played a kick-ass show.

  Dewey Finn : We did, didn't we? It was unbelievable, wasn't it?

  Summer Hathaway : [deeply agrees]  Yeah.

• Lawrence : [to Freddy]  You're an idiot.

  Freddy Jones : Hey, shut up!

  Lawrence : No, you shut up!

  Freddy Jones : Hey, you wanna go?

  Tomika : Hey, if you touch him, I'll shove those sticks down your throat, got it?

  [Freddy retreats; Tomika turns to the class] 

  Tomika : Mr. S was cool. We worked too long and hard not to play the show!

  Freddy Jones : Okay, so what are we supposed to do?

  Alicia : [stroking a stuffed toy Owl]  I say we get out of here and play the damn show!

• Dewey Finn : Give me a platform. Let's rock, let's rock, today. Now do it to me.

  Lawrence : Let's rock, let's rock, today.

  Dewey Finn : That's good. Slap it, shoot it, ka-boot it.

• [the shy Lawrence approaches Dewey at lunch] 

  Lawrence : Mr. Schneebly?

  Dewey Finn : Yeah? Hey, what's up?

  Lawrence : I don't think I should be in the band.

  Dewey Finn : Why not?

  Lawrence : I'm not cool enough. People in bands are cool. I'm not cool.

  Dewey Finn : Dude, you are cool. The way you play. Why do you say you're not cool?

  Lawrence : Nobody ever talks to me.

  Dewey Finn : Well, those days are over, buddy. You could be the ugliest sad sack on the planet, but if you're in a rocking band, you're the cat's pajamas. You're the bee's knees.

  Lawrence : Bee's knees?

  Dewey Finn : Yeah, the bee's knees. You'll be the most popular guy in school.

  Lawrence : Okay. I'll do it.

  Dewey Finn : Now listen, this is a big commitment. Don't say yes if you're gonna flake out.

  Lawrence : I won't.

  Dewey Finn : Larry... welcome to my world.
