Dialogue

 * Randy: Hello.
 * Julie Richman: Hello.
 * Randy: Having a good time?
 * Julie: I'm trying.
 * Randy: That's good.
 * Julie: What are you doing here?
 * Randy: Well, it's a party.
 * Julie: Yeah, I know it's a party, but who invited you?
 * Randy: Oh, you have to be invited. That explains it.
 * Julie: What?
 * Randy: Why everyone is dressed so weird. You see, if I had been invited, I would have known it was a costume party.
 * Julie: Right.
 * Randy: I saw you once before, you know.
 * Julie: Where?
 * Randy: At the beach.
 * Julie: That was you?


 * Julie Richman: Do you think she really does all the stuff she says?
 * Stacey: You know, I think she does. I mean, who could make up 'That stuff tastes like Clorox.'?


 * Fred Bailey: So, you wanna dance?
 * Girl: In another life!
 * Fred Bailey: Yeah, I didn't either. I was just taking a poll.


 * Julie Richman: Yeah, but Tommy can be such a dork, ya know? Like he's got the bod, but his brains are bad news.
 * Suzi Brent: But he is bitchin'. You really are so lucky, Julie.
 * Julie Richman: I know, but we've been going together so long now. Like I'm beginning to think I'm a piece of furniture or something, like an old chair!
 * Loryn: Oh, bad news!
 * Julie Richman: [glancing at Brad] I definitely need something new.


 * Randy: Where do you work?
 * Julie Richman: At my parents' store.
 * Randy: What do they sell?
 * Julie Richman: Health foods.
 * Randy: That's cool.
 * Julie Richman: Like, it's not cool at all! Like, it's all this stuff that tastes like nothing and it's supposed to be so good for you. Why couldn't they, like, open a Pizza Hut or something?


 * Julie Richman: I'll start my diet tomorrow.
 * Stacey: You better watch out, because Randy might like the Hollywood lean look.
 * Suzi Brent: Yeah, but blimps don't get to go out with Tommy.
 * Julie Richman: Who?
 * Stacey: Tommy.
 * Julie Richman: Who?
 * Loryn, Stacey, and Suzi: [in unison] TOMMY!
 * Julie Richman: Fuck him!


 * Randy: [shouting over the noise just as the music ends] So, when can I see you again?
 * Julie Richman: [embarassed] Gee, Randy... why don't you wait until the end of the evening to say these things?
 * Randy: It's how I feel. It's what I want.
 * Julie Richman: I'm here with you now.


 * Julie Richman: [arguing about staying out all night] Why can't you just punish me like Stacey's parents?
 * Sarah Richman: Bad karma, dear!
