Brandon Walsh: Dylan, at this point in time, I’m just about the only friend you’ve got. You sure you want to do this? Push me away like you’ve done to everyone else?
Dylan McKay: Yeah! May the bridges I burn light the way!
I’m not 100% sure that this line from Beverly Hills 90210 wasn’t cribbed from somewhere else, but it does seem to be an Easter egg reference to “Dylan” Thomas who wrote “When one burns one’s bridges, what a very nice fire it makes.”
If anyone knows that it was stolen by a Beverly Hills 90210 writer or even better which 90210 writer wrote it, please let me know, because I’ve done 30 minutes of Google research and can’t find anything to dispute that these words were not first uttered by the great Luke Perry.
