American Pie
American Pie is a 1999 American coming-of-age teen sex comedy film directed and co-produced by Paul Weitz and written by Adam Herz. It is the first film in the American Pie theatrical series and stars an ensemble cast that includes Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Alyson Hannigan, Natasha Lyonne, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Mena Suvari, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Seann William Scott, Eugene Levy, Shannon Elizabeth, and Jennifer Coolidge. The film's story centers on a group of four classmates at East Great Falls High School: Jim Levenstein (Biggs), Kevin Meyers (Nicholas), Chris "Oz" Ostreicher (Klein), and Paul Finch (Thomas). The youths make a pact to lose their virginity before their high school graduation. The film's title refers to a scene in which the protagonist is caught masturbating with a pie after being told that third base feels like "warm apple pie". Herz has stated that the title also refers to the quest of losing one's virginity in high school, which is as "American as apple pie." Released on July 9, 1999, in the United States, American Pie received mixed reviews from critics, who were polarized on the film's raunchy humor but praised the performances of the cast. The film was a box office success, grossing $235.5 million worldwide on a $10 million budget. Retrospective critical analysis has placed American Pie among the greatest teen films of all time. American Pie's success spawned three sequels: American Pie 2, American Wedding, and American Reunion. In addition to the primary American Pie saga, there are five direct-to-DVD spin-off films bearing the title American Pie Presents: Band Camp, The Naked Mile, Beta House, The Book of Love, and Girls' Rules.
# Midnight at the oasis # # Send your camel to bed # # Shadows painting our faces # # Traces # # Of romance in our heads # # Heaven's holding a half-moon # # Shining just for us # # Let's slip off to a sand dune # # Real soon # # And kick up a little dust # # Come on Cactus is our friend # # He'll point out the way # You know, at band camp we have dances like this, only they're way funner.

# Till the evenin' ends ## All right, status check. Where do you guys stand? Finch, we know where you are, but can't really use that as an excuse. Jim? Uh, my date's a flute-toting band dork. Does that answer your question? Oz, is this vocal-jazz shit gonna pay off or what? Kevin, what's with the attitude? Attitude? Me? I think you guys should be a little more enthusiastic. This is the night we've been waiting for. We're in this together. You guys can't back out. Kev, you don't need us to get laid. Are you afraid or something? No. Come on. We made a pact. You can't break that. You guys are gonna have to... Have to what, Kev, huh? I don't have to do shit. Forget it already. I am so sick and tired of all this bullshit pressure. I've never even had sex, and already, I can't stand it. I hate sex! And I'm not gonna stand around here busting my balls over something that, quite frankly, isn't that damn important. I'm gonna go hang out with that geek over there... 'cause at least she has something else to talk about besides sex. Goddamn.

- These are, uh... - Let me just clarify... - that you have no chance of scoring with me, Finch. - Of course not! So I take it you and Sherman are pretty close, huh? You met at that party a while back, right? Yeah, we were up all night together. We had one of those amazingly deep conversations... where you feel like you really get to know someone. Deep conversation, huh? Is that what you call it? What else would I call it?
American Pie
Excuse me, everyone. Sorry to interrupt. I just thought you all should know this. Chuck Sherman is a liar. I never had sex with him. He's never had sex with anyone. I know this because he told me. Once he tried to screw a grapefruit, but that's all. Oh. He also told me that when he gets nervous, he sometimes wets his pants. Thank you for your time.
American Pie
- Guess what? - Not interested. Kevin. Come on, man. The bus to Stifler's is gonna be here soon. - I'm not going. - What? Why not? Look, things didn't really turn out how I wanted them to. I mean, I don't even know what I'm doin'. I-I'm acting like I've got everything together tonight. I know that Vicky's gonna ask me if I love her, and... I don't know what I'm gonna say. I mean, I'm on the brink. I'm just about to do it. I should be psyched. I don't know. Maybe you're right. Maybe I am just scared. Come on, Kev. Tonight is the night. We-We are finally going to a post-prom party on the lake. We have been waiting for this for four years. Why else have we been friends with Stifler all this time, right?

Stifler's mom got it in the divorce. That reminds me of this one time... Hey, can I ask you a question? How come you don't have any stories? I've got lots of them, and you don't have any. Oh, I've got stories. Believe me. They're just, uh... They're just a little more risque than tales of band camp. Are they gross or something? Like guy stuff? Tell me! Okay. You want a story? Here's a story. Stifler finds this beer...
American Pie
There's something I've been meaning to tell you, Heather. What's that? It's gonna sound really bad, but, uh, I want you to know. You see, uh, I'm a virgin, and, uh... Well, me, Kevin, Jim and Finch were... We all made this pact... that we would lose our virginity... before high school was over, and tonight is supposed to be the night that we all do it.
American Pie
This isn't the best way to proposition me. No, that's... That's not what I mean. W- What I mean is, uh... Look, do you know what made me leave that game? See, Coach, he was givin' us this speech about... not slacking off when you see the opportunity to score... This isn't any better, Chris. No, you see... You see, Heather, what I realized is that... with you, it's... not like I'm running towards a goal... looking for the best way to score. This may sound a little corny, but... I feel like I've already won.
