Quotes
Dr. Raunch: "For many Freshmen women, college provides their first experience in an adult heterosexual society. Their first unrestricted contact with members of the opposite sex. This sudden freedom may give rise to problems of interpersonal relationships. Today we discuss two of those problems: random dating among college Freshmen and premature emotional involvement."

Basil: "Please, please! We don't want applause. Let's keep things as unfrantic and cerebral as possible. If you have any questions, ask them during the breaks. The selection you just heard was the "Nuclear Love Song" composed by our percussionist. Next is an original of my own, written for guitar and flute, entitled 'A Meeting Between Shakespeare and Satchel Paige on Hampstead Heath'."

Merritt: "How are things going with you two?"
Tuggle Carpenter: "Oh, about the same. He hints what he wants. I hint about matrimony. And while each of us are hinting, the other isn't listening. He certainly is persistent, though. He keeps knocking on the door. It's just a question about how long I can keep it locked."

Tuggle Carpenter: "I made a vow on the way down here. I promised myself I'd try for a man the chaste way. And, so help me, I'll keep it if I have to drop in with the local blacksmith and buy a belt!"

Merritt: " In this day and age, if a girl doesn't become a little emotionally involved on the first date, it's gonna be her last - for that man, anyhow."

Ryder: "Sophistication isn't a matter of where you come from or even what your family does. It's the way you - the way you think, your outlook on life, what you've experienced."

Narrator: "For fifty weeks of the year, Fort Lauderdale, Florida is a small corner of tropical heaven, basking contentedly in the warm sun. During the other two weeks, as colleges all over the country disgorge their students for Easter vacation, a change comes over the scene."
Narrator: "The students swarm to these peaceful shores in droves, twenty thousand strong. They turn night into day, and a small corner of heaven into a sizeable chunk of bedlam. The boys come to soak up the sun, and a few carloads of beer. The girls come, very simply, because this is where the boys are."

Police Captain: " Gentlemen, the city of Fort Lauderdale is once again under fire from the north. We've survived it before and I reckon we're gonna survive it again. To you newly installed officers on the force, I'd to give you a little rundown on what to expect. Expect anything. Anything and everything cause that's what you're gonna get."
Police Captain: "Now, Fort Lauderdale is not the only city to be invaded at this time. In Palm Springs and in Newport, from the beaches of the Mid Atlantic to the snows of Colorado, the students of America are gathering to celebrate the rites of spring. And, if you pardon a pun, you've got that right. They're our future voters, their citizens of our country, and they're our responsibility. But how the hell to handle them, that's a different manner."
Police Captain: "Now these kids didn't come down here to break the law. They'll break it for sure, but that's not their main objective. And remember that they are our guests. So, I want every man on the force to try his best, his level best, to try to avoid arresting anyone. I know that this going to take great will power but try. And, above all preserve your sense of humor. Cause you're gonna need it if you want to survive. And... God bless you all."

Tuggle Carpenter: "Girls like me weren't built to be educated. We were made to have children. That's my ambition: to be a walking, talking baby factory. Legal, of course. And with union labor."

Police Captain: "Wait a minute! Haven't I seen you in here before?"
Lola: "Just once, and it was purely by accident. The night my strap broke?"
