Mrs. Kim : [to David, in response to his request to take Lane to the prom] "Let never day nor night unhallowed pass, but still remember what the Lord hath done."
[he leaves, confused]
Mrs. Kim : [the next day, David confronts Mrs. Kim]
Dave Rygalski : I stayed up all night. I read the entire Bible cover to cover. I don't know what it means.
Mrs. Kim : David...
Dave Rygalski : You have to tell me what it means. Is it "yes?" Is it "no?" I can't feel my right elbow any more. I don't even know why, but I... I can't.
Mrs. Kim : David!
Dave Rygalski : [pleading] Please. Just tell me. I'm so tired.
Mrs. Kim : It's not from the Bible.
Dave Rygalski : What?
Mrs. Kim : It's Shakespeare. Hevry VIth. I like to goof off now and then too, you know.
Dave Rygalski : Shakespeare?
Mrs. Kim : That is a very difficult thing to do, reading the Bible in one night. I myself have only done it three times. You need great determination and excellent light. I'm very impressed.
Dave Rygalski : [he looks at her expectantly]
Mrs. Kim : All right.
Dave Rygalski : All right what?
Mrs. Kim : You can go to the prom, but you can not get married.
Dave Rygalski : That seems fair to me.
[the quotation is from Henry VI, Act ii, Sc.1]

Dave Rygalski : A few weeks ago you told me that Lane had a crush on me. Well, I have a crush on her, too. Now, I know you have very strict rules about dating and boys, but I just want you to know that I'm a good person. I don't smoke, I don't drink, I've never gotten a ticket, I'm healthy, I take care of myself, I floss. I never watch more than 30 minutes of television a night partly because I think it's a waste of time and partly because there's nothing on. I respect my parents, I do well in school, I never play video games in case they do someday prove that playing them can turn you into a serial killer. I don't drink coffee. I hate soda because the carbonation freaks me out. I'm happy to give up meat if you feel strongly about it. I don't mind wearing a tie. I enjoy playing those hymns on my guitar, and I really, really want to take your daughter to the prom.
Dave Rygalski : [Mrs. Kim doesnt say anything] Mrs. Kim? Please don't make me repeat that list again.
Mrs. Kim : Let never day nor night unhallow'd pass, but still remember what the Lord hath done.
Dave Rygalski : Okay, thank you.
Dave Rygalski : [Dave and Lane walk outside] Did you hear what she said?
Lane : Yes, I did.
Dave Rygalski : What did it mean?
Lane : I don't know.
Dave Rygalski : Was it a yes, was it a no?
Lane : I'm not sure.
Dave Rygalski : Well, it's gotta be from the bible, right? So I'll just go home, do some research, look on the Internet, see what I can find. I'll call you when I know something.

Lorelai : Boy, you'd think love songs are all you and Lane would wanna play.
Zach : Man, this crunch just now sounded like the drum-fill in Baba O'Reilly.
Dave : Yeah, Zach, a musical mouth. That's awesome.
Zach : But why would Dave and Lane wanna play just love songs?
Lorelai : Because, I was just thinking, you know, with Dave's name - Dave - you've got the last two letters in love. V, E. And with Lane's name, you have the L. You can just dump the A and add an O and there you go.
-
Zach : Yeah. Dave, you're a Christian. So what? That's cool.
Brian : It's nothing to hide.
Zach : Christians can still rock.
Dave : They can?
Lane : Yeah, yeah, Dave. Christians can still rock, don't hide it.
Zach : Marshall Stacks don't know Christians from atheists.
Dave : Gosh, I just wasn't sure if you guys would be accepting of my devoutness.
Brian : Dave, it's a part of you, and we think you're cool, so it's cool.
Dave : Great. Thanks, guys.
Zach : But no way are we playing Creed, man.
Dave : Oh, no, of course not.
Zach : Or Amy Grant. That's where we draw the line.
-
Dave : Anyhow, I hadn't seen you in a while, and I thought I'd come down and maybe we could figure something out on this band issue.
Lane : Sure, we could do that.
Dave : Plus, I missed you.
Lane : You did? You missed me?
Dave : Well, yeah. Did you miss me?
Lane : Oh, yeah, definitely. I definitely, definitely missed you.
Dave : Glad and relieved to hear it.
-
Dave : Thank you. You know, my parents would love these sandwiches. I wish I could bring 'em by but unfortunately they're in private bible study right now.
-
Dave : What we need is a name.
Brian : I made my suggestion.
Zach : Yeah, and we vetoed "The Harry Potters." Next.
Brian : So yours is better?
Zach : "Follow Them to the Edge of the Dessert" is memorable and classy.
Brian : I run out of breath every time I say it.
Zach : You've got asthma, dude. You run out of breath saying your name.
Dave : Yeah, Brian, we can't work our name around your respiratory illnesses.
Brian : Even without an inhaler, "Follow Them to the Edge of the Dessert" is too long.
Zach : Yeah, but when we get famous, our fans will shorten it to F-T-T-T-E-O-T-D.
-
Dave : Wow, you run really quiet.
Lane : Sorry, I'm sorry about everything.
Dave : What?
Lane : The whole night. I had no idea she'd make you play five straight hours without a break.
Dave : It's okay.
Lane : Your hands must be dead.
Dave : They're just a little numb. But I've got these Kurt Cobain calluses now, how cool is that?
-
Lane : Hi.
Dave Rygalski : Hi, and hi.
Lane : Uh, this will not be the mental image you carry around of me the rest of the week.
Dave Rygalski : No, it won't. Hold on, I just saw the back. Yes, it will.
