Classes - nothing before 11.
Beer - it's your best friend, you drink a lot of it.
Women - you're a freshman, so it's pretty much out of the question.
Do you have a car?
No
Someone in your hall will, make friends with them on the first day.
Ahhh, PCU. It really isn't all that good of a movie. It's sort of a cookie cutter college comedy in the vein of Animal House. They have some good moments, like locking everyone in a room and playing Skyrockets in Flight loudly and on repeat. Or some interesting ideas like charging people to use the restroom at a big party (although in my college party days we had a hard enough time getting people to even use the restroom - one of the perils of being in warm California where parties are outdoors.) But in the end, what sets this movie apart for me is all of the excellent quotable lines. I can't tell you how many times we used this one when the Fraternity was setting up for an event:
Hey! What are you guys doing?
Us? Well, we're seniors - we're going to game.
But wait, there's more. I'll just let you browse these tasty morsels:
What is this? You're going to wear this to the show. You're going to wear the shirt of the band you're going to see. Don't be that guy.
Spring break I filled his suitcase full of dog biscuits coming back from jamaica. Drug sniffing dogs went apeshit.
That's the beauty of college these days Tommy. You can major in gameboy if you know how to bullshit.
You went out with a white male?
I was a freshman...
Freshperson! Please.
We need kegs. Multiple, cold and domestic.
I guess in the end the movie could have dug into political correctness a little more. They had a set up to make a movie with some bite and good social satire. But instead they just used it for some silly jokes. I'm fine with that, I laughed. And a couple of those quotes have had real longevity...
Don't be that guy
