A.J. : Hi, what're you doing up here?
[Corey pushes A.J so he falls]
Corey : You listen to me! You're so special and you're so talented and you have everything it takes! You have MORE than everything it takes and you're REALLY stupid because you don't know that. And I know you don't love me anymore, and I know that I blew it but at least I know that, and if you don't go to art school and if you don't understand how special you are then you know nothing!
A.J. : Corey, I...
Corey : And I did love you, and I still... only I didn't realise that it really was love because it was more than love and it wasn't just some stupid feeling in my stomach like everything else and I'll never love anybody as much as you and I hate you! I hate you!
A.J. : Corey, I quit. I quit!
[pause]
A.J. : I'm going to art school, in Boston. So I can be near you.

Eddie : Can I ask you something? Do you know where Harvard is?
A.J. : It's near Boston.
Eddie : No, I mean, do you really know where Harvard is? It's another planet man - another universe. Totally unlike the one we know. Filled with big blond guys who eat ivy and row boats. What I'm trying to say is, you and Corey just aren't made for each other. She's different from you.

A.J. : Lucas, hey Lucas. Hey Lucas. What the hell are you doin' here, man?
Lucas : Something happened to me last night. In Atlantic City.
A.J. : Oh, you went to Atlantic City?
Mark : Wow! Did you win anything?
Lucas : No. I did not win. So if you guys ever wonder if it was nice to know you, I tell you now that it was.

A.J. : You know that feeling when you get out of a warm bath... well... you make me feel like a bath?
