Quotes from the Movie
"When one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself."--a quote by Jacques-Yves Cousteau that is written in DIVING FOR SUNKEN TREASURE, a book read by Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) <br> <br> "What's the secret, Max?"--Herman Blume (Bill Murray) <br> "The secret?"--Max <br> "Yeah, you seem to have it pretty figured out."--Mr. Blume <br> "The secret...I don't know. I think you 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."--Max <br> <br> "We both have dead people in our families."--Max to Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams) <br> <br> "Has it ever crossed your mind that you're far too young for me?"--Miss Cross <br> "It crossed my mind that you might consider that a possibility, yeah."--Max <br> <br> "I like your nurse's uniform, guy."--Max to Dr. Flynn (Luke Wilson) <br> "These are O.R. scrubs."--Dr. Flynn <br> "Oh, are they?"--Max <br> <br> "I know about you and the teacher."--Dirk Calloway (Mason Gamble) to Mr. Blume <br> <br> "I saved Latin. What did you ever do?"--Max to Mr. Blume <br> <br> "Rushmore was my life. Now you are!"--Max to Miss Cross <br> <br> "She's my Rushmore, Max."--Mr. Blume to Max <br> "Yeah, I know. She was mine too."--Max <br> <br> "Although I will say that Edward has more spark and character and imagination in one fingernail than Herman Blume has in his entire body."--Miss Cross <br> "One dead fingernail."--Max <br> <br> "Sic Transit Gloria" (Glory fades).--Max to Miss Cross, also in Max's play, HEAVEN AND HELL
