Most Quotable Comedy of 1982

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Fast Times came out my sophmore year in high school, and was, by far, the MOST quoted movie for those last three years. With one-liners like the following, FT was fodder for our limited time in the hallway between classes.

From Sean Penn's character, Jeff Spicoli -

"All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine."

"Relax, alright? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it."

"So what Jefferson was saying was "Hey! You know, we left this England place because it was bogus. So if we don't get some cool rules ourselves, pronto, we'll just be bogus too." Yeah?"

And Mike Damone's fifth point of his "Five Point Plan":

"And five, now this is the most important, Rat. When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV."

Except, here was the problem with the movie at this point. I was a huge Led Zep fan and was was excited to hear the reference to this awesome album. Unfortunately, the scene immediately cut to a car scene with Zeppelin playing "Kashmir" which was off their 1975 album, Physical Graffiti.

Tomorrow we'll reveal 1983's MQC!
