Quotes 

• Andy Hardy : Well I'll be a wolf on a scooter.

• Andy Hardy : Oh, you don't go in very much for kissing, huh?

  Kay Wilson : I've been kissed before and I expect to be kissed again.

  Andy Hardy : Well there's no time like the present.

  Kay Wilson : But, *not* casual necking.

• Kay Wilson : I'd have loaned you the money.

  Andy Hardy : A man doesn't borrow money from a strange young lady.

  Kay Wilson : I'm not a strange young lady. We're a couple of kids going to the same college. Look here, young man, you've got a lot to learn.

• Andy Hardy : Hi ya, cupcake.

  Lyn Walker : What did you say?

  Andy Hardy : I said, "Hi ya, cupcake."

  Lyn Walker : That's what I thought you said.

  [slaps Andy] 

• Kay Wilson : Don't worry, they'll be a time - and a place.

  Andy Hardy : And a fella?

  Kay Wilson : And a fella. A fella I like as a person. A fella I want to kiss because at that particular place, at that particular moment, I want that particular fella to kiss me.

  Andy Hardy : And I bet he'll be over 40 years old too.

  Kay Wilson : Well, only recently, I kissed a man 40 and, um, it wasn't bad.

  Andy Hardy : Why, that's an insult to young American manhood.

• Andy Hardy : Dr. Standish, she, I mean, this somebody that we're talking about, she isn't quite normal. She's been brought up to believe that older men are much nicer than - men her own age, like me. It's not that I'm jealous or anything like that. But, this somebody that we're talking about, she's just dazzled because you're old enough to be her grandfather.

• Lee Walker : Listen, they always strip the new boys and paint 'em blue all over.

  Andy Hardy : Blue? All over?

• Andy Hardy : Wainright, huh. Well, it doesn't look very dangerous, does it? Or, does it?

  Pullman Porter : No, Wainright College, boy's, ain't dangerous. No more than a train wreck.

• Andy Hardy : You know, sometimes you talk like a regular girl.

  Kay Wilson : You don't know me at all, do you? And I want you to. I really do.

  Andy Hardy : You do?

• Andy Hardy : That's swell. With you scared and me scared, maybe together we'll only be half as scared.

• Lee Walker : Do you want me to call a policeman?

  Andy Hardy : Go ahead and call a policeman, it's not legal for even a *blonde* to steal a fella's money.

  Lee Walker : Me?

• Kay Wilson : B.S.Y.

  Andy Hardy : Eh, pardon me, but, what'd you say?

  Kay Wilson : B. S. Y. Be Seeing You. You don't say "good-bye" on the campus.

• Lee Walker : I have a job all picked out. It's Joe's place.

  Andy Hardy : Huh?

  Lee Walker : Joe's Place, near every college has a Joe's Place and mostly it's called Joe's Place.

  Andy Hardy : Yeah, well, what's this one called?

  Lee Walker : Joe's Place. It's a hamburger heaven with rug cutting on the side. They want to hire a singer and I'm going to get the job and then I'll pay you back all your money. If you'll only not knife me in the back with the Dean. And, besides, I pay interest.

  [looks around, kisses Andy] 

  Andy Hardy : Whoa!

  Lee Walker : That's the interest.

  Andy Hardy : Oh, take all of my money under the same terms.

• Andy Hardy : When they take off my clothes and paint me blue they'll find that I have less than five bucks.

  Dr. M.J. Standish : Paint you blue? Five bucks? I'm sorry, Andrew, I'm afraid somebody's been giving you the old heave-ho.

• Andy Hardy : I picked out a hard year's work ahead of me to lick and Kay, I want to let you know, I wanted to see you.

• Andy Hardy : Say, I still have room for Elizabethan poets, that's if you don't mind my being around.

  Kay Wilson : Mind? Why, I'd love it!

• Andy Hardy : I kinda thought that's what you thought.

• Andy Hardy : I won't tell anybody.

  [Lyn kisses Andy on one cheek and Lee on the other] 

  Andy Hardy : Oh, boy. I know this is only good, clean fun, but, boy oh boy, what fun!

• Andy Hardy : Look, this kissing business it's only a stage you're going through. But, you'll out grow it.

  Lee Walker : Oh, it'll take years!

  Andy Hardy : Oh, behave, will you. Now, I'm not saying you're never supposed to kiss a fella, but, only when at that particular place, at that particular minute, you want to kiss that particular fella.

  Lee Walker : Right! This is the minute and you're the fella!

• Lee Walker : I should kiss you now.

  Andy Hardy : Now, wait a minute.

  Lee Walker : What's the matter?

  Andy Hardy : There are a lot of things that you have to learn.

  Lee Walker : Well, learn me brother, learn me!

• Andy Hardy : There's something sour around here and it ain't milk.

• Dr. M.J. Standish : He thought it'd be a good idea to give you a responsibility.

  Judge Hardy : Yes, preferably a young woman - and preferably a lollapalooza.

  Andy Hardy : A lollapalooza?

• [last lines] 

  Andy Hardy : This girl, I'm not in love with her and she isn't in love with me. But, I think she's a very nice person and that's what she thinks of me. I'm good for her and she's good for me. This girl's past the silly stage of casual kissing and smooching. This girl, if she'd ever let a fella kiss her it would be because at that particular moment, at that particular place, she'd want that particular fella to kiss her. And, oh boy, I'm the fella!

• Andy Hardy : Excuse me. My boner.

  Kay Wilson : Oh, but it wasn't your boner.

• Andy Hardy : What does your father do?

  Kay Wilson : My father's dead.

  Andy Hardy : Oh, I'm sorry. I bet you have a swell mother though.

  Kay Wilson : No, I haven't any mother either.

  Andy Hardy : I'm just a dope. I hope you excuse me.
