The Legend of Billie Jean Quotes

Binx: Hey, get your hand off that!

Hubie: What, your sister? Or your fagmobile?

Ophelia: Would you look at those tits?

Putter: I think they're gross.

Ophelia: That's because you don't have any.

Binx: What's this?

Putter: I think it's chicken.

Binx: It doesn't taste like chicken.

Ophelia: When you rich, food ain't supposed to taste like what it really is.

Billie Jean: Who wants to watch this?

Putter: I do!

Ophelia: You like anything on the TV.

Lloyd: Tapes are not going to be enough.

Billie Jean: What do you mean?

Lloyd: I mean they don't have to give you the money, they'll just hunt you down and catch you. Cops don't have to bargain with you, you don't have anything they want. Unless you offer them a trade.

[starts tying himself up]

Ophelia: Whatever is that boy doing?

Putter: It's a trick, I saw it on TV.

Billie Jean: What kind of trade?

Lloyd: I'm going to be your hostage, then they have to reason with you. I'm your guarantee.

Putter: Like when you buy a car.

Ophelia: That's a warranty.

Billie Jean: Go away, Putter!

Putter: [to Ophelia] Billie Jean said I can come, don't move!

Binx: [about Lloyd's pills] What are those, uppers or downers?

Lloyd: They're for asthma, you want one?

Ophelia: You're supposed to be taking your medication! Your father says please give him his pills!

News Announcer: [to girl] What do you think of this Billie Jean character?

Interview Girl: She's a rebel, and uh... I'm gonna personally... I think they're picking on her because she's a girl, and I think that's disgusting.

News Announcer: Well there you have a woman's perspective...

Interview Teen: I thought it was awesome, this guy was chasing Billie Jean up the stairs, she turnd around and kicked him in the nuts and kept on running, I thought it was hilarious. Billie Jean if you're out there, I love you!

Billie Jean: [shoves Binx aside] Sorry, that is him. Mom, I don't know when we'll be comin' home, but we love you. I know people are making up stories about us. Don't you believe them. As for you, Mr. Pyatt. You are so sleazy.

Putter: [cheers on camera] YEA!

Billie Jean: You think you can do anything you want and then lie about it and we just have to take it, because what are we? Just a bunch of kids. Well not this time. From now on we're doin' this our way. No lyin', no cheatin', fair is fair.

Kid #1 in Crowd: [at electronics store watching TV] Alright!

Billie Jean: $608 dollars for the scooter your son trashed. That's what you owe, and we're NOT turnin' ourselves in til we get it. Fair is fair! We didn't start this, we didn't mean it to happen, but we're not givin' up til you pay. FAIR IS FAIR!

Billie Jean: I thought you were grounded.

Putter: I am.

Donna Davy: Binx, sulking will not get you that bike back. Spent all that money, and now here you are broken-hearted.

Billie Jean: It wasn't his fault.

Billie Jean: Oh Mom, come on...

Donna Davy: He loved to go fast,

[to Binx]

Donna Davy: just like you. I'm relieved that darn bike is gone.

Ringwald: Call their parents, send them home.

Muldaur: What about this gun they pulled on you, all fun and games?

Ringwald: I've been thinking about that, I'm not sure that gun's even real. The toy store reported a few things missing, they left IOUs.

Muldaur: These kids got the drop on you with a toy gun?

Ringwald: [smiling] Yes sir I believe they did.

Muldaur: I would've loved to have seen that.

Billie Jean: [reading newspaper article] The victim was taken to Shoreline Hospital where his condition was listed as good. Did you hear that? Good! Not fair!

Ophelia: Not critical!

Binx: Not dead! Yaaaaaaaay! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Putter: Billie Jean, I don't feel so good.

Billie Jean: I wonder why, you only ate 12 Kit-Kats.

Binx: I didn't mean to shoot him, you heard what he said, he said it wasn't loaded.

Billie Jean: We have to go to the police.

Ophelia: They'll never believe you.

Binx: It was an accident!

Ophelia: You think he's gonna say that? It's his word against a bunch of crazy kids, he's gonna lie.

Pyatt: Little more, little less, just take the money.

Billie Jean: For my troubles? Or to keep my mouth shut? Or maybe for a few minutes in the upstairs room of your store. How much is that worth to you, Mister Pyatt?

Pyatt: Nobody forced you up there, you knew exactly what you were doing.

Billie Jean: But what about our lessons? Pay as you go, earn as you learn. What were you going to teach me, Mr. Pyatt? And you said I was gonna love it, love being touhed by a man like you.

Binx: I was scared.

Billie Jean: So was I.

Binx: Why were they shooting at us?

Lloyd: I'm done being your hostage.

Billie Jean: Fine, I'll see you in jail!

Binx: How can they say that about us?

Billie Jean: They can say whatever they want, we're news now.
