  • Annie Potts as kooky Iona steals every scene she's in:
    Duckie: You know what an older women does for me?
    Duckie: Touché.

    • She shoots a kid trying to shoplift with a staple gun on the face:
    Kid: You missed my eye by an inch!
    Iona: *smugly* Half an inch.
    • "I know I’m old enough to be his mother, but when the Duck laid that kiss on me last night, I swear my thighs just went up in flames! He must practice on melons or something!"
  • Duckie is a fan favorite for a reason too:

    Andie: You know you're talking like that just because I'm going out with Blaine.
    Duckie: His name is BLAINE?!?! Oh! That's a major appliance, that's not a name!!!

    Andie: What are you doing?
    Duckie: I had to use the powder room, so I figured I'd come in the back.
    Andie: I'm sure there are bathrooms all over the place!
    Duckie: I'm not nine, Andie, I know that.

    • "This is a really volcanic ensemble you're wearing, it's really marvelous!"
    • When bullies shove him into the girls' restroom: "We don't have none of this stuff in the boy's room! Wait a minute! We don't got none of this... we don't got doors on the stalls in the boy's room, we don't have, what is this? What's this? We don't have a candy machine in the boy's room!"
    • And the infamous scene of Duckie dancing and lip syncing to "Try A Little Tenderness" while Andie and Iona just stare at him.
