Make a stack of game sheets so each guest can take a crack at matching the quote to the correct movie--extra credit points to those who can name the character who said it:

1. "I did it when I was a freshman, and you'll do it when you're seniors. But you're doing great. Now fry like bacon, you little freshman piggies. Fry!"

2. "What Jefferson was saying was, Hey! You know, we left this England place 'cause it was bogus; so if we don't get some cool rules ourselves--pronto--we'll just be bogus too! Get it?"

3. "We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all."

4.  "So. Okay. I don't want to be a traitor to my generation and all but I don't get how guys dress today. I mean, come on, it looks like they just fell out of bed and put on some baggy pants and take their greasy hair--ew--and cover it up with a backwards cap and like, we're expected to swoon? I don't think so."

5. "All you need is for one person to think you're cool, and you're in. Everyone else will be scared to question it."

6. "I mean, he went from totally geek, to totally chic!"

7. "You know, there's like a boat-load of gangs at this school. This one gang kept wanting me to join because I'm pretty good with a bow staff."

8. "My top schools where I want to apply to are Oxford and the Sorbonne. My safety's Harvard."

9. "Incredible! One of the worst performances of my career and they never doubted it for a second."

10. "This is not a democracy, it's a cheerocracy. I'm sorry, but I'm overruling you."
