Angel Stripper Quotes in Can't Hardly Wait (1998)

Angel Stripper: Fate! There is such a thing as fate, but it only takes you so far. Then it's up to you to make it happen.

Angel Stripper: Oh I'm the weird one? You're the one calling Barry Mannilow from a phone booth at 2:00 am!

Angel Stripper: You know what? This is just like that Scott Baio thing. When I was 16, I had the biggest thing for Scott Baio.

Preston: Listen, you don't have to sit here and go through... Scott Baio?

Angel Stripper: I said I was 16. I mean, this was back in the 'Happy Days' years, you know? Not to mention 'Joanie Loves Chachi'. God... I hated her. Joanie. You see, I always knew that somehow I'd meet him. You know? Like I wanted it bad enough, I could make it happen. And it did. Right after his first season of 'Charles in Charge', he was doing this mall tour, and he came here to our mall in this town. It was like everything was finally falling into place for me, you know? It was like...

Preston: Fate?

Angel Stripper: Yeah. So, I went... you know. And I had this red bandanna. 'Cause you know how Chachi always wore that red bandanna? And I waited there outside. And I was the first person there when he pulled up in his limo to the entrance to the mall. He got out of that car... he was so beautiful. And he looked right at me. But... I didn't know what to do. I mean... I couldn't say anything. I couldn't even move. I never talked to him, and he was right there. I think I still have that red bandanna. But the thing is, you never know. Like, had I had least maybe said something... you never know. But anyway, the point is I totally realized that, you know? Fate. There is fate. But it only takes you so far, because once you're there, it's up to you to make it happen.

Preston: You are so definitely right.

Angel Stripper: Yeah. So look, don't make the same mistake I did, okay? Because if you really want to be with him, then you get back on that phone and you call Barry Manilow, and you tell him how you feel.

Preston: No... no. I don't want him. I just...

Angel Stripper: [walks off] It's okay. Look at me... Scott Baio. We all have our things.
