Dialogue
edit- Randy: Hello.
- Julie Richman: Hello.
- Randy: Having a good time?
- Julie: I'm trying.
- Randy: That's good.
- Julie: What are you doing here?
- Randy: Well, it's a party.
- Julie: Yeah, I know it's a party, but who invited you?
- Randy: Oh, you have to be invited. That explains it.
- Julie: What?
- Randy: Why everyone is dressed so weird. You see, if I had been invited, I would have known it was a costume party.
- Julie: Right.
- Randy: I saw you once before, you know.
- Julie: Where?
- Randy: At the beach.
- Julie: That was you?
- Julie Richman: Do you think she really does all the stuff she says?
- Stacey: You know, I think she does. I mean, who could make up 'That stuff tastes like Clorox.'?
- Fred Bailey: So, you wanna dance?
- Girl: In another life!
- Fred Bailey: Yeah, I didn't either. I was just taking a poll.
- Julie Richman: Yeah, but Tommy can be such a dork, ya know? Like he's got the bod, but his brains are bad news.
- Suzi Brent: But he is bitchin'. You really are so lucky, Julie.
- Julie Richman: I know, but we've been going together so long now. Like I'm beginning to think I'm a piece of furniture or something, like an old chair!
- Loryn: Oh, bad news!
- Julie Richman: [glancing at Brad] I definitely need something new.
- Randy: Where do you work?
- Julie Richman: At my parents' store.
- Randy: What do they sell?
- Julie Richman: Health foods.
- Randy: That's cool.
- Julie Richman: Like, it's not cool at all! Like, it's all this stuff that tastes like nothing and it's supposed to be so good for you. Why couldn't they, like, open a Pizza Hut or something?
- Julie Richman: I'll start my diet tomorrow.
- Stacey: You better watch out, because Randy might like the Hollywood lean look.
- Suzi Brent: Yeah, but blimps don't get to go out with Tommy.
- Julie Richman: Who?
- Stacey: Tommy.
- Julie Richman: Who?
- Loryn, Stacey, and Suzi: [in unison] TOMMY!
- Julie Richman: Fuck him!
- Randy: [shouting over the noise just as the music ends] So, when can I see you again?
- Julie Richman: [embarassed] Gee, Randy... why don't you wait until the end of the evening to say these things?
- Randy: It's how I feel. It's what I want.
- Julie Richman: I'm here with you now.
- Julie Richman: [arguing about staying out all night] Why can't you just punish me like Stacey's parents?
- Sarah Richman: Bad karma, dear!
