Empire Records
- Mark: Empire Records, open til midnight.
- Lucas: In the immortal words of , 'The time to hesitate is through.'
- Lucas: I do not regret the things I have done, but those I did not do.
- Lucas: Mitchell's the man, Joe.
Joe: And the man calls all the shots.
Lucas: Damn the man.
Joe: Let me explain it to you: Mitchell's the man, I'm the idiot, you're the screw-up, and we're all losers! Welcome to Music Town. - Gina: Attention Rex Manning fans! To your left, you will notice a shoplifter being chased by night manager Lucas. This young man will be caught, deep fried in a vat of hot oil and served to our first hundred customers. Just another tasty treat from the gang at Empire Records.
- Gina: Welcome to Music Town, may I service you?
- A.J: Joe, I need to ask your advice. Now I know you know a lot about love and women and all that sort of thing...
Joe: Oh yeah, my wife left me for another woman and my girlfriend forced me to leave at gunpoint. Does this qualify me?
A.J: Oh yeah, definitely. - Lucas: Joe, is it okay if I leave the couch? 'Cause I'm gonna leave the couch now, okay? My ass is falling asleep, so I gotta go. I'm leaving.
- Warren: Who glued these quarters down?
A.J: I did.
Warren: What the hell for man?
A.J: I don't feel that I need to explain my art to you, Warren. - Mark: Hey, Lucas. I've decided I'm going to start a band.
Lucas: The first thing you need is a name. Then you'll know what kind of band you've got.
Mark: Right, right. I was thinking about, um, Marc. How does that sound?
Lucas: Is that with a 'c' or with a 'k'?
Mark: Well my name is with a 'k', so I was thinking my band's name could be with a 'c'. That way its kind of that psychedelic, you know, trip thing.
Lucas: Always mess with their minds. - A.J: What's with you? Yesterday you were normal and today you're like the Chinese guy from Karate Kid. What's with you today?
Lucas: What's with today, today? - Gina: Well Sinead O'Rebellion. Shock me, shock me, shock me with that deviant behaviour.
Debra: God, that is so clever. I swear you get smarter the shorter your skirt gets. - Gina: Oh no, Debra, don't be bitter, surely with your ever growing collection of flesh mutilating silver appendages and your brand new neo-nazi boot camp makeover, the boys will come a-runnin'.
- Lucas: The long arm of the law has embraced our dear friend Warren.
