A group of college-age buddies struggle with their imminent passage into adulthood in 1959 Baltimore.

Edward Eddie Simmons: You're dealing with a rational girl; that's your problem.
Modell: You know what word I'm not comfortable with? Nuance. It's not a real word. Like gesture. Gesture's a real word. With gesture you know where you stand. But nuance? I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong.
Timothy Fenwick, Jr.: Do you ever get the feeling that there's something going on that we don't know about?
Shrevie: Ok, now ask me what's on the flip side.
Beth: Why?
Shrevie: Just, just ask me what's on the flip side, OK?
Beth: What is on the flip side?
Shrevie: Hey, Hey, Hey, 1958. Specialty Records.
[Beth nods blankly]
Shrevie: See? You don't ask me things like that, do you? No! You never ask me what's on the flip side.
Beth: No! Because I don't give a shit. Shrevie, who cares about what's on the flip side about the record?
Shrevie: I do! Every one of my records means something! The label, the producer, the year it was made. Who was copying whose style... who's expanding on that, don't you understand? When I listen to my records they take me back to certain points in my life, OK? Just don't touch my records, ever! You! The first time I met you? Modell's sister's high school graduation party, right? 1955. And Ain't That A Shame was playing when I walked into the door!
Shrevie: when you're dating, everything is talking about sex. Where can we do it? Why can't we do it? Are you parents gonna be out so we can do it? Everything is always talkin about getting sex, and then planning the wedding, all the details. But then, when you get married... it's crazy, i dunno. You can get it whenever you want it. You wake up in the morning and she's there. You come home from work and she's there. So all that sex planning talk is over with. And so is the wedding planning talk cause you're already married. So... ya know I can come down here and we can bullshit the entire night away but I cannot hold a 5 minute conversation with Beth. I mean it's not her fault, I'm not blaming her, she's great... It's just, we got nothing to talk about... But it's good, it's good
Fenwick (to Boogie): The only hand on your pecker is going to be your own!
Edward Eddie Simmons: If you want to talk, you always have the guys at the diner. You don't need a girl if you wanna talk.
TV customer: [watching a black and white television program in the showroom] Is this show in color, or is there something wrong with the set?
Second Stripper: [about marriage] You?
Billy: [shakes his head negatively] No marriage.
Second Stripper: No girl?
Billy: Not really. Just in love.
Second Stripper: Does the girl know?
Billy: Yeah, I told her about it.
Second Stripper: Told her? Didn't you show her?
Timothy Fenwick, Jr.: All I did was I parked the car on a nice lonely road, I looked at her, and I said fuck or fight.
Carol Heathrow: [about his penis] It just pushed the flaps open?
Boogie: It's Ripley's, I'm telling you.
Eddie: You... You... You make me sick. You've just gone down two steps in my... my book!
Modell: We all know most marriages depend on a firm grasp of football trivia.
Billy: I'll hit you so hard, I'll kill your whole family.
Timothy Fenwick, Jr.: [to his older brother] It's funny. You know, when I was a little kid I always wanted a brother. I told that to mom once and she said, "You have a brother". I said, "Oh, so that's who the asshole in the other bed is".
Edward 'Eddie' Simmons: When you're making out, which do you prefer, Sinatra or Mathis?
Robert 'Boogie' Sheftell: I like Presley.
Modell: This is why you are so nervous all the time. You have like chunks of roast beef in your heart!
Boogie: You know I got plans.
Bagel: Always a dreamer, hey, Boog?
Boogie: If you don't have good dreams, Bagel, you got nightmares.
Fenwick: Definitely the smile of the week!
Beth: That's very mature, Fenwick.
Fenwick: Fuck mature!
Boogie: Did I tell you guys I'm taking out Carol Heathrow tomorrow night?
Fenwick: She... is death! (Thumbs up)
