I swear all I've asked for out of life is Lloyd Dobler to stand outside, under my bedroom window....
....and play "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel at volume 10 on his boom box.

Is that too much to ask for out of life. It doesn't even have to be Lloyd Dobler but just some guy who understands the importance of doing a gesture like that.

1. I'd call the cops if i saw some punk pulling that stunt.
Slap a TRO on his scrawny punk ass.

3. What the hell, I'm game.
I can do that. Next time I'm in Delaware I'll make a point of it.

4. Fave quotes in any movie
Edited on Mon Nov-17-08 02:53 PM by Rambis
I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.


I was supposed to party with him in college up at Carleton college MN but he got held up in Chicago traffic and didn't make it. Would have been a riot!

5. I would be satisfied if my next husband remembers my birthday
every once and a while, but a Lloyd Dobler moment is behind my sphere of hope....

I actually sort of had somebody do that for me once..they "sang" me a song when I was lonely and hurting..."Everybody Hurts"...I know that sounds weird but its one of the most romantic things I have had in my life...:(

11. I'm willing to do so for you.
I would play "Immigrant Song" and then smash the boombox as is required to make that horrible whining stop. Then I'd shrug and go get a Slushie. This is the essence of true romance.

15. Clearly you don't get it
If you did that but played anything but "In Your Eyes", I'd slam the window shut on you!

16. I'm sensing discontent; you obviously require something more romantic..
Will this keep your window open?

17. Yeah, well, keep in mind that you just dumped Lloyd and crushed his
hopes, dreams and future happiness. He gave you his heart and you gave him a freakin' pen. Yeah, his "gesture" sounds all romantic and sweet, but he wouldn't be out there with his boombox if you hadn't coldly dumped him and shredded every last vestige of his self-esteem.
