Can you believe it's been 20 years since you fell for Lloyd Dobler?

Fans of Cameron Crowe's directorial debut, "Say Anything," will fondly remember John Cusack holding up a boom box while blasting out Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes."

But there are plenty of other noteworthy moments worth reminiscing over, and you watch them all in the new collector's edition of "Say Anything" just released on DVD, including a retrospective featurette revisiting the classic film 20 years later, and a trivia track containing more than 200 questions.

Can't wait for the DVD? Here are a few classic "Say Anything" moments:

Lloyd at the dinner table, when asked what his plans are: "I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed."

Ione Skye as valedictorian Diane Cord, Lloyd's dream girl, who just dumped him: "I blew it. I called him basic. Can you believe I did that?"

Lili Taylor as Lloyd's best friend, Corey, singing about her deadbeat ex-boyfriend: "Joe lies, Joe lies, as he cries."

John Mahoney as Diane's jaded, criminal father long before he plays "Frasier's" lovable, wonderful father on TV: "Diane, in a million years, you could never be a priss."

Lloyd trying to calm a drunk guy at the big party hosted by rooster-costumed Eric Stoltz: "You must chill! You must chill! I have hidden your keys! Chill!"
