Only a few friends of mine and myself seem to find the humor in many of Wes and Owen's dialogues, as I'm sure most of you have noticed. Let's point out some of our favorites from Rushmore:

"Would you like a carrot?"

"Yeah I'll have one of those."

or

"What's that.... oh it's latin isn't it."

and

"But this is my baseball diamond"

another great part is when Max is standing in the field with the pile of leaves on fire. Dr. googleheim then asks what he is doing. Max responds with the bird. ahh great comedy i tell ya

"Get them in the crosshairs, and take them down."
"My previous bicycle, yes."
"We both have dead people in our families..."


I do have one question about dialogue. I suppose I could easily find the rushmore script online, but can anyone tell me if when Max hits Luke Wilson's hand with his spoon, does he call him "Doc" or "Dog"? It's probably the former, but then again Max at one point says "I'm gonna put a cap in his ass," so you never know.

In my script, when Max hits Lukes hand with the spoon, Max says, "Would you like me to pass the butter."

But in the movie, when I watched that part with the subtitles, Max says, "Would you like me to pass the creamer, Doc?"

"I saved Latin"

the scene were max is on teh roof with Blume's wife and he offers her the sandwiches.

"I'm applying to Oxford and the Sorbonne. Harvard's my safety."

Max Fischer: So you were in Vietnam?
Herman Blume: Yeah.
Max Fischer: Were you in the shit?
Herman Blume: Yeah, I was in the shit.

Max Fischer: So tell me Curly, how do you know Miss Cross?
Dr. Peter Flynn: We went to Harvard together.
Max Fischer: Oh that's great. I wrote a hit play and directed it, so I'm not sweating it either.

Rosemary Cross: That's none of your business.
Max Fischer: I know it's not, but I just got hit my a car and I'm feeling a little confused.

I love the line: "What's that? ... Oh, it's Latin, isn't it?"

Or:

When Max freaks out at the restaurant.
"Oh my god!!!! I wrote a hit play!" <p>"That cab has a dent in it"</p>

"Never in my wildest imagination I would have dreamed to have kids like these." <p>"That cab has a dent in it"</p>

I love the megalomania in Max' voice when he says about building the aquarium: "I don't give a shit about the baracudas, but f*ck it, i'm building it anway!"

UN LOCKIT!!

I'll show you the door.
I'll just go back out the window.

Why did you ask me to come here?
Oh, I was going to drop that tree on you.
That one?
Yeah.
It would've flattened me.

<p>
...that's inappropriate...that's inexcusable!</p>

another bit I like is the really awkward handshake Max gives Dirk's mother as he gets out of her car. There's just something about it that makes it hilarious!
