Quotes 

• Brian : [after being beaten up by jocks for listening to Black Flag]  You know what?

  Dave : What?

  Brian : We need to start a band.

• Dave : We do suck in the grand scheme of things.

  Vicky : The grand scheme of things is Huey Lewis and the News. Which you guys aren't, thank God.

  Greg Glaverman : She's right. You're not Huey Lewis or the News.

• Brian : [Listening to Bad Brains]  That's a song, man. That needs to be us.

  Dave : That'll never be us.

  Brian : Why not?

  Dave : First of all... Bad Brains are black. Second of all, we can't keep a band together for more than 5 minutes.

• Greg Glaverman : [Handing the boys a business card]  My name's Greg Glaverman. I manage and promote bands.

  Dave : [Looking at the card]  It says here you sell furniture, Greg.

  Greg Glaverman : That's an old card. The new ones are gonna say both.

  Billy : [Suddenly realizing]  I know you, dude! You're that guy who's always getting his ass kicked in those TV commercials!

  [the band cracks up] 

  Greg Glaverman : So... have you guys, like, cut a demo? Is there anything I could listen to? I've got a cassette player in my car, I could just pop it in.

  Dave : Are you serious?

  Lance : What's "Slamdini" like in real life?

  Greg Glaverman : He's pretty nice. We don't really talk much. I'm serious about the demo.

• [Brian and Dave approach Billy and Lance tripping on mescaline] 

  Brian : Great show guys.

  Billy : Yeah right.

  Brian : No, I... I'm serious. You guys ever thought about joining a real band?

  Dave : What real band?

  Brian : Our real band.

  Dave : [Realizing Brian's idea]  ... no... no no no no no, not these guys. They're all heavy metal and shit.

  Billy : [Scoffs]  Whatever, dude.

  Dave : Sorry...

  Brian : [to Dave]  It's okay. Why don't you just leave the staffing & sonic stylings to me, okay? I can mold these guys into our sound.

  Lance : [to Billy]  Do they know that we're, like, right in front of them?

  Billy : Who the fuck are you guys? We don't even know you!

  Brian : Look, this is Dave. He is the best bass player in the whole tri-county universe.

  Dave : [Genuinely touched]  Thanks... this is Brian. He's out of his goddamn mind.

  Brian : Look, I know this is gonna sound crazy, okay? But after you lost... Gandalf on bass, I had a vision of a band that we're all in. It's not metal, it's not really punk and you know what? It doesn't suck.

  Lance : [Takes a long drag on his spliff]  So are you guys, like... on drugs or something?

  Dave : No, we're not.

  Billy : You got any more?

  Brian : ...yes.
