Miss Cross: Well, you pulled it off.
Max: Yeah, it went okay. At least nobody got hurt.
Miss Cross: Except you.
Max: No… I didn’t get hurt that bad.
Rushmore
(apologies to everyone who follows me on livejournal as well, you’re about to get all these as part of that 30 day meme thing!)
Max: I got a proposition for you.
Magnus: Well you can stick it up your mother’s arse, you little prick.
Max: I’ve got to hand it to you Magnus, you’ve got a way with words. You wanna be in a play?
Magnus: What’s all this shite?
Max: Nothing. I just think you’re right for the part.
Magnus: I always wanted to be in one of your fucking plays!
Max: I know you did, mate.
Rushmore
Herman: What’s this?
Max: That’s the perfect attendance award, and that’s the punctuality award. I got those at Rushmore. I thought you could choose which one you liked more, and you could wear that one and I could wear the other.
Herman: I’ll take punctuality.
Max: Okay. Come here.
Rushmore
Max: He thinks you dumped him because of Edward Appleby.
Miss Cross: What does that mean?
Max: Well, I mean, you live in his room. With all his stuff. It’s kind of…
Miss Cross: I was married to him.
Max: I know you were.
Miss Cross: Although I will say that Edward has more spark, and character, and imagination in one fingernail than Herman Blume has in his entire body.
Max: One dead fingernail.
Miss Cross: Right. One dead fingernail.
Rushmore
Max: I got kicked out because of you. Rushmore was my life. Now you are.
Miss Cross: What do you really think is going to happen between us? Do you think we’re gonna have sex?
Max: That’s a kind of cheap way to put it.
Miss Cross: Not if you’ve ever fucked before, it isn’t.
Max: Oh my god.
Rushmore
Max: Look, all I’m getting at is that… I’ve never met anyone like you. So you can take that for whatever it’s worth.
Miss Cross: I think I can safely say that I’ve never met anyone like you either.
Max: You haven’t, have you?
Rushmore
Max: Maybe I’m spending too much of my time starting up clubs and putting on plays.
Max’s dad: It’s possible.
Max: I should probably be trying harder to score with chicks. That’s the only thing anybody really cares about, but it’s not my forté unfortunately.
Max’s dad: It’ll happen, Max, it’s just, you’re like one of those clipper ship captains. You’re married to the sea.
Max: Yes, that’s true. But I’ve been out to sea for a long time.
Rushmore
Herman: What’s the secret, Max?
Max: The secret?
Herman: You seem to have it pretty figured out.
Max: Secret? I don’t know… I think you’ve just got to find something you love to do and then do it for the rest of your life. For me it’s going to Rushmore.
