Quotes

  • Rufus: Life was a bitch for Bill and Ted in 20th century San Dimas, yet today, we have much to thank the Two Great Ones for. Bowling scores are way up, mini-golf scores are way down, and we have more excellent water slides than any other planet we communicate with. Although destiny could have taken a most heinous turn, we are thankful for the circuits of time that'll allow me to travel back and keep the Two Great Ones on their correct path, ensuring our most excellent society. A society based on the philosophy and lessons learned during Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures.
