Quotes about The Catcher in the Rye

Stan: Did you get to any dirty parts yet?
Kyle: No. It's still just some whiny annoying teenager talking about how lame he is.
Stan: I don't get it, dude. What's so controversial about this? All he's done is said "shit" and "fuck" a few times.

—South Park, "The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs"

"And what really bothers me, is you pretend that you're this deep guy that loves women for their souls, but all you do is date bimbos. Yeah, I date women for their bodies, but at least I'm honest about it. I don't buy them a copy of Catcher in the Rye and then lecture them with some 7th Grade interpretation about Holden Caulfield is a profound intellectual, he wasn't. He was a SPOILED BRAT. And that's why you like him so much — he's YOU."

—Quagmire giving "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Brian, some book or play or something
