Quote from Jackie

Jackie: [whimpers] [whimpers]
Hyde: Jackie, if I asked you what's wrong, will you stop doing that?
Jackie: It's the prom. Stupid Michael's taking stupid Pam Macy. And I don't have a date, but I told him I did, and I'm a complete loser.
Hyde: [laughs] No, you're not. It's just that, like, I thought he was gonna ask me and now everyone who's anyone is already going.
Jackie: That is so true. How would you know? You're not even going. [gasps] Oh, you're not even going. And I bet you clean up real good.
Hyde: Well, I do, but I won't. See, that's a big part of who I am.
Jackie: Look, I know we've had our differences, but-
Hyde: Jackie, we've had nothing but differences. In fact, don't we kind of hate each other?
Jackie: Yes, but this is the prom. [sobs]
Hyde: Jackie, stop. Stop crying. Stop it. Look, do you want to go to the prom?
Jackie: Yes.

Midge: I've decided what kind of business I'm going to open. What's the one thing people can't live without?
Red: Oxygen.
Midge: No.
Kitty: No, no, no. That's true.
Midge: But that's not what I'm selling. So keep guessing.

Kitty: [laughs] ... Good wine.

Quote from Fez

Mrs. Clark: Why so glum, Fez?
Fez: Well, Mrs. Clark, you may be good at teaching the music but you cannot help me in the ways of love.
Mrs. Clark: Fez, has someone got you down?
Fez: So far down, Mrs. Clark.
Mrs. Clark: Here's a little ditty I've been working on. Maybe it'll help. Hit it.
[As Mrs. Clark sings "I Will Survive", Fez dances with her]

Quote from Bob

Midge: Kitty, don't you think I should have my own card shop?
Bob: Midgie, hold on. I think I have a dynamite solution.
Midge: Really?
Bob: Oh, yeah. 'Cause I love you. So, I want you to have another baby and stop bugging me.
Kitty: Oh, Bob. No. [Midge and Kitty exit]
Red: So, how much this whole setup gonna cost you, Bob?
Bob: Plenty. But I figure it'll be cheaper than a divorce.
Red: We'll see.

Quote from Eric

Eric: You know, Donna, I've thought about this moment like, a thousand times.
Donna: Me, too. [they kiss]
Student: [o.s.] One, two, three. All right. [all cheer]
Eric: When you thought about this moment, was it like this?
Donna: Not really.
Eric: You know, I was having a pretty good time at prom.
Donna: [sighs] Me, too. Let's get out of here.
Eric: Okay. Um... Donna, what if this is our only chance?
Donna: It won't be.
Eric: Okay.

Quote from Hyde

Hyde: Forman, if you don't get a motel, it's gonna be more like this.
[fantasy: Eric arrives home]
Red: You're home already? It's not even 10:00. You didn't have a plan, did you? Kitty, he's home already.
Kitty: [enters] Already? Oh, Eric, you're just such a loser. [laughs]
Red: [laughs] He is, isn't he?
[reality: Hyde laughs and hands Eric the telephone]

Quote from Kelso

Kelso: Okay, guys. Guess who's taking Pam Macy to the prom?
Hyde: Anyone with a quarter?
Kelso: Me. [chuckles]
Fez: Damn, and I had a quarter.
Eric: Wait. Kelso, you're not taking Jackie?
Kelso: No way, man. Jackie dumped me.
Fez: Hey, I can take Jackie.
Kelso: Yeah, do it, Fez, and I'll kick your ass.
Fez: Well, well, well. Look who suddenly cares. [Kelso punches Fez in the shoulder] Why did you hit me? That was sarcasm.

Quote from Donna

Donna: Wow, the gym looks like... Well, the gym with streamers. But it's nice.

Eric: Nothing.
Donna: Okay, then me neither.

Fez: Isn't she adorable?

Quote from Hyde

Edna Hyde: [o.s.] They're all gonna laugh at you!
