Vision Quest (film)

"My name's Louden, Louden Swain. Last week I turned 18. I wasn't ready for it. I haven't done anything yet. So I made this deal with myself. This is the year I make my mark."

"[about Carla] She's got all the best things I like in girls and all the best things I like in guys."

"But all I ever settled for is that we're born to live and then to die, and... we got to do it alone, each in his own way. And I guess that's why we got to love those people who deserve it like there's no tomorrow. 'Cause when you get right down to it - there isn't."

"[to Louden] Don't you ever try that again! I choose who I'm going to be with and what I'm going to do. I'll never be with any foulmouthed kid jock who thinks a stiff cock is the height of romance. Part of being a man, asshole, is knowing what a woman wants and respecting that."

"[to Louden] First time I've ever went to a wrestling match. It wasn't what I expected. I guess I expected some macho violence trip, but it was all right, you know? Guess I just didn't understand."

"[Just before Louden is set to wrestle Shute] Hey, Louden? [Louden glances up] Kick his ass."

"What a blast to the First Amendment! The first thing they do is shut down the press and imprison the intellectuals. I LOVED YOUR PIECE ON THE CLITORIS! I SHOWED IT TO MY MOTHER!"

"Coach: [to Louden] Now, I remember the first time you walked in here and asked me to let you wrestle. You still had hay in your hair. What a surprise you turned out to be, darn near going the distance your first year."
