You see, Lloyd isn't like the other guys in the herd. The women pause, look at each other, and unanimously agree that they would totally fall for him. "If you were Diane Court, would you honestly fall for Lloyd?" Corey asks her two friends. Like the maxim goes, opposites attract - no one can quite understand what the couple's doing together, but Lloyd's female friends answer their own question. How many men can actually admit such honesty? If that doesn't pan out, he can always fall back on the "sport of the future," aka kickboxing. He wants to be with Diane for a living, because he thinks he's good at it. Lloyd then goes into a screed about not wanting to process anything or sell anything for a career (something Millennials would say today), leaving his dinner guests with mouths agape. Diane's father thinks Lloyd's joking but he is not. He explains that he wants to spend as much time as possible with Diane before she jets off to school in England. For instance: During the dinner party scene with Diane, her father (John Mahoney), and her father's co-workers, they ask Lloyd point blank what his career plans are. Rust and Lloyd have interesting philosophies on life and march to their own drum beats.
They don't give a shit what people think of them. "Lloyd Dobler would beat Vince Vaughn from Swingers in a fight in like, one round and that's even if you put an eyepatch on him and gave Vince Vaughn from Swingers the weapon of your choice and maybe a superpower." The difference between the two characters, Crane explains, is that Dobler "knows who he is and he knows what he wants," much in the same way Rust Cohle from True Detective knows himself. In writer Elizabeth Crane's 2008 essay "How to Be Lloyd Dobler," she analyzes Lloyd from a feminist perspective and explains how all women want to date a Lloyd Dobler type, and that Vince Vaughn from Swingers is the exact opposite of the guy women should be seeking out. He's the kind of guy men want to be and the kind of man women eternally swoon over. hit theaters, the fast-talking, trench coat-wearing Lloyd Dobler still personifies the quintessential American male. "I'm Lloyd Dobler," he responds, blowing Mike's mind. At the party Mike Cameron (Jason Gould) comes up to him and asks, "How did you get Diane Court to go out with you?" "I called her up," Lloyd says.
She then decides to go out with him because he makes her laugh. He has the balls to call Diane - who has to thumb through her yearbook in order to find out who he even is - and invite her to a kegger.
He's a good friend and an even better boyfriend. I'm sorry, it's just you're a really nice guy, and we don't want to see you get hurt." "I wanna get hurt!" Lloyd replies. "Diane Court doesn't go out with guys like you," Corey (Lili Taylor) tells him. Within the first couple minutes of Cameron Crowe's directorial debut, Say Anything., protagonist Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) tells his female pals he wants to ask the valedictorian of his high school graduating class, Diane Court (Ione Skye), out on a date.
