Lindsay Weir quotes from Freaks and Geeks

Lindsay

All my new friends think I'm some goody-two-shoes and all my old friends think I'm throwing my life away. What the hell am I supposed to do?

Daniel

You guys know Lindsay?

Nick

Yeah, you were in my English class last year. You were the chick that got an A, right?

Lindsay

Yeah, well, what are you gonna do?

Ken

I don't know. What are you gonna do?

Lindsay

Are you guys going to the homecoming dance?

Ken

Excuse me?

Lindsay

My dad's kinda makin' me go.

Nick

Your dad's makin' you go to the dance? What's that all about?

Ken

Who's your dad? Hitler?

Nick

Check it out man, that's uh 14 mounted toms, 8 floor toms, 4 splashes, 2 gongs, 10 cowbells , 4 rides, 5 snares, a rototom rack, and it's all mounted on my infamous quadruple kick drum system. Six more pieces and I got a bigger set than Neil Peart from Rush, yeah.

Lindsay

That's great Nick.

Nick

Teachers want us to work, and I say, "Fine, I'll work. But you've gotta let me do the kind of work that I wanna do." And for me, it's my drum kit, man. This is my passion. This is the essence of who I am now. But before I had this, I was lost, too. You see what I'm saying? You need to find your reason for living. You've gotta find your big, gigantic drum kit.

Lindsay

Well, my house is so boring looking...so I just wanted to make it look more party-like.

Ken

Well I'll tell you how to make it look more party-like. Point me to the keg.

Nick

Oh yeah.

Lindsay

In the corner.

Ken

Then I am in the corner.

Millie

I heard about what she does in the yearbook darkroom.

Lindsay

What? She does what? I have no idea what you're talking about.

Millie

She does it.

Lindsay

What do you mean, it?

Millie

She fornicates it!

Daniel

Lindsay... I think it's really great that you and Nick are going out.

Lindsay

Yeah. Me too.

Daniel

No, I mean it. Nick's a great guy. We give him a hard time, but you know... he's the man. I just think it's really great you guys are going out. He's a really great guy.

Lindsay

Yeah, I know.

Daniel

Nick's a stud. You know? I mean, he may not seem like it, but he is.

Mr. Desario, don't you have something to do?

Daniel

Right, but I thought we were going to do that after class, Ms. Yeats.

Oh, be still my beating heart.

Daniel

[whispers to Lindsay] I like that dress.

Nick

See, Lindsay. Nothing 'bout you and me should ever be rushed. I made that mistake before, but I'm not gonna make it with you. Cause we've got time. We've got all the time in the world. And you know why? [singing] Cause you're my lady of the morning. Love shines in your eyes. Sparkling, clear and lovely. [speaking] You're my lady. See, Lindsay. We were made for each other.

Lindsay

You wanna make out or something?

Nick

No. All guys wanna make out. But I just wanna hold you. [holds her] What's better than this?

Millie

You're high!

Lindsay

How could you tell?

Millie

I know what high people look like. I went to a Seals and Crofts concert last summer.

Lindsay

God! We used to love Mac Davis, remember?

Millie

Yeah. You used to say you wished you had pillows stuffed with his hair.

Harold

OK, I'll tell you what Lindsay. I'll listen to this album and you can go to the concert if I don't find anything objectionable.

Lindsay

Thanks Dad. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Harold

Oh don't be so sure of yourself; I'll be listening to it backwards too!

Lindsay

Are you copying Ken's homework?

Kim

Trying to. He writes like a mental patient.

Harold

You know what the difference is between you and Nick? You're my daughter. Every second you're out of this house... every second that I can't see you... or know what you're doing... it's... it's absolute torture for me.

Lindsay

Dad... I can't stay inside all the time...

Harold

I know...... Why not?

Lindsay

I don't know. Rosso's okay. And why would you want to ruin a mailbox?

Ken

I don't know. We gotta blow up something.
