Film: 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9
10 Things I Hate About You

"So, I hear you were terrorizing Mr. Morgan's class... again."
"Expressing my opinion is not a terrorist action."
"The way you expressed your opinion to Bobby Ridgeway? By the way, his testicle retrieval operation went quite well, in case you're interested."
"I still maintain that he kicked himself in the balls."

Review: A familiar teen movie with some unique touches. It avoids some of the worst cliches, but what makes it standout is the quality of the cast. I think it's better than American Pie which came out the same year.

"Old rule out. New rule, Bianca can date... when Kat does."
"But she's a mutant! What if she never dates?"
"Then you'll never date. Oh, I like that. And I'll get to sleep at night. The deep slumber of a father whose daughters aren't out being impregnated."

"I'm sure, you know, that there are lots of guys who wouldn't mind going out with a difficult woman. I mean, you know, people jump out of airplanes and ski off cliffs. It'd be like extreme dating."
"You think you could find someone that extreme?"
"Yeah, sure, why not."
"And you'd do that for me?"
"Hell, yes! I mean, you know, I could look into it."

"The situation is, my man Cameron here has a major jones for Bianca Stratford."
"What is it with this chick? She have beer-flavored nipples?"
"Hey!"

"Come to Bogey's party with me?"
"You never give up, do you?"
"Was that a yes?"
"No."
"Well, then, was that a no?"
"No."
"I'll see you at 9:30 then?!"

"I thought for sure I was busted when I was climbing out that window, I tell you. So, how did you keep him distracted?"
"I dazzled him with my... wits."
