Movie Quote(s):
- Dr. Fromberg: What was that you were watching, Mr. Brower? Michael: "Death, Death, Death..." Dr. Fromberg: 'Death, Death, Death..." Michael: ...Part 2" Dr. Fromberg: Oh my god. Tell me Michael, why do you watch these films? Michael: Really? Dr. Fromberg: Yes, I want to understand. Michael: Well, it's kind of an escape. Dr. Fromberg: An escape. Like lighting up a marijuana cigarette and escaping the real world? Like watching a pornographic sex film, getting an erection and raping someone? Michael: I don't think erections rape people, people rape people.
-
Michael: It wasn't supposed to be real!
-
Michael: Kyle! Kyle: No, it's Axl Rose!
-
[Micheal hugs Kyle] Kyle: Watch out for my lucky charms! They're magically delicious! Hahaha!
-
Kyle: That outfit's totally bitchin'. Stacie: You think so? Kyle: I know so. You look just like that one girl in that one video by what's his face. Only better.
Movie Trivia:
