Benji Quotes in Tarzan and the Mermaids (1948)

Benji: Tarzan go fishing, catch mermaid, eh!

Benji: We are The East. And we are your wake-up call. And we are not hiding from you.

Benji, Izzy: [now in unison] We *are* you. We are the morning you got off the treadmill and ran under the open sky. We're the first time you kissed someone and they kissed you back.

Izzy: We are the night you couldn't sleep. The night you stared at the ceiling thinking, "Is this it? Is this the best life has to offer?" No. There is a freedom in you that knows no fear.

Benji: You probably wouldn't like what you find here anyway.

Sarah: Why is that?

Benji: Well, because this is the end of the road. There's no where to hide.

Sarah: And you think I'm not tough enough for the truth.

Benji: No, I think you're not soft enough for it.

Benji: I guess you *don't* like it better on the outside.

Sarah: The jam worked.

Benji: Is that why you came back?

Sarah: I came back because I missed being uncomfortable.

Benji: Sometimes people die before they're ready. Perfect relationships end in ruin. Adventures peter out.

Benji: People don't share champagne.

Benji: Look, just so you know, I'm not a total nerd. I also happen to be super-into close-up magic.

Jesse: Dude, that's awesome! How long was that little guy in there?

Benji: Several days.

Sigma Beta Frat Guys: [Chanting] Taking names, taking numbers, join our righteous frat! If you ain't pledging Sigma Beta, you ain't worth no crap!

Benji: That's a double negative!

Jesse: That's a lot of negatives.

Benji: The Treblemakers. The rock stars of a cappella, the messiahs of Barden. Well, you know, not including athletes, frat guys, or actual cool people.

Jesse: Organized nerd singing? This is great!

Benji: [about his Dad] Does he have a boyfriend at the moment?

Felicia: No, no he doesn't.

Benji: Neither does Mum. She used to have a girlfriend, but she got over her.

Benji: [Benji pauses, then turns and looks at Felicia] You want to come play in my room? I've got Lego.

Man In Crowd: More! More!

Benji: We want more!

Benji: More! We want more!

Benji: Are you still undateable?

Frances: Oh yes, very undateable.

Benji: I think it's a great day. I ate an egg bagel that Lev's slut made me. I internet-acquired three pairs of very rare Ray Bans. I'm doing awesome.

Benji: Yup. I was there when Serge Gainsbourg died.

Caroline: Weren't you like, eight?

Benji: Yeah. It was the end of Euro disco.

Frances: I'm poor.

Benji: That's actually offensive to poor people.

Frances: Do I look old to you?

Benji: No. Yes.

Frances: How old?

Benji: Older than I am.

Frances: Older than 27?

Benji: No. 27 is old, though.

Benji: Let's do something fun. We could go to a movie.

Frances: Movies are so expensive now.

Benji: Yeah, but you're at the movies.

Benji: It's after three, I can drink.

Dennis: Benji, there isn't a straight man in America who doesn't refer to anyone but his girlfriend as 'girlfriend'.

Benji: I know, but I was so butch when I said it.

Benji: It's called being horny.

Howie: It's not horny. I know horny. I've taken a lecture series on horny.

Benji: They have lecture series on horny?

Howie: There isn't a movie in the cinema canon that depicts a gay character that we would aspire to be. What are our options... noble, suffering AIDS victims, the friends of noble suffering AIDS victims, sex addicts, common street hustlers and the newest addition to the lot, stylish confidantes to lovelorn women. Just once I would like to see someone who is not sick, hasn't been laid in about three months and is behind on his student loans.

Benji: And that is someone you would aspire to be?

Taylor: Right?

Peter: You're awful frisky for a jilted groom. Hey, it sucks to break up, but that's why they invented rebounds.

Benji: Rebounds are my specialty... and three-ways. Those are my specialty.

Benji: Just because you're gay, it doesn't mean you should be hating on women.

Jason: Why are you telling everyone you're straight?

Benji: Because I am.

Jason: Come on. Ray Charles can see you lookin' at that ass like it was Sea Biscuit.

Zack: You've ever had to kiss a guy before?

Benji: How bad could it be?

Benji: I'm close.

Zack: Me, too.

Benji: I love theater.

Zack: Do you like any of the girls here, bro?

Benji: Bro?

Zack: I don't know. Isn't that what guys say to each other?

Benji: In gay pornos, maybe, or the south.

Max: You might be more comfortable on here, love.

Benji: Thanks, but I've already got a boyfriend.

Max: I'll struggle to restrain myself.

Benji: We are officially like boyfriends, right?

Floyd: I've been with ya nearly twelve hours now and you ain't got on me nerves yet. For me that's practically married.
