Rushmore

Magnus Buchan: I always wanted to be in one of your fuckin' plays. Bert Fischer: [to Herman] Are you fond of that moustache? Mr. Littlejeans: Best play ever, man. Rosemary: Nihil Sanctisne?, Is nothing sacred? Found on Max Fischer's Mother's Grave Stone: All paths of glory lead but to the grave. Found in the book Diving for Sunken Treasure: When one man, for whatever the reason, has the ability to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.

Dr. Nelson Guggenheim: We're putting you on what we call sudden death academic probation. Max Fischer: And what does that entail? Dr. Nelson Guggenheim: It entails that if you fail another class, you'll be asked to leave Rushmore. Max Fischer: In other words, I'll be expelled. Dr. Nelson Guggenheim: That's correct. Max Fischer: Can I see some documentation on that, please? Dr. Nelson Guggenheim: Too many extracurricular activities, Max. Not enough studying. Max Fischer: Dr. Guggenheim, I don't want to tell you how to do your job. But the fact is, no matter how hard I try, I still might flunk another class. If that means I have to stay on for a post-graduate year, so be it... Dr. Nelson Guggenheim: - We don't offer a post-graduate year. Max Fischer: Well, we don't offer it yet.

Max Fischer: What was your major? Rosemary Cross: I didn't have a major, but my thesis was on Latin American economic policy. Max Fischer: Oh, that's interesting. Did you hear that they're not going to teach Latin anymore? Rosemary Cross: This was more like Central America.

Herman Blume: What's the secret, Max? Max Fischer: The secret? Herman Blume: Yeah, you seem to have it pretty figured out. Max Fischer: The secret, I don't know... I guess you've just gotta find something you love to do and then... do it for the rest of your life. For me, it's going to Rushmore.
