Quotes 

• [Elle sees David the geek trying unsuccessfully to get a date with two lovely girls, who mock him, and decides to help by making the girls think she dated David] 

  Elle : Excuse me.

  [Elle turns around and slaps David] 

  Elle : Why didn't you call me? We spent a beautiful night together and I haven't heard from you since.

  David : [pause]  I'm sorry?

  Elle : Sorry for what? For breaking my heart, or for giving me the greatest pleasure I've ever known and just taking it away?

  David : Both?

  Elle : Well, forget it. I've spent too much time crying over you.

  [Elle walks away, and the girls change their mind about him] 

  Girl : So, when did you wanna go out?

• David : My name is David Kidney. I have a master's in Russian literature, a PhD in biochemistry, and for the last eighteen months I've been deworming orphans in Somalia.

• Professor Stromwell : The law is reason free from passion. Does anyone know who spoke those immortal words?

  David : Aristotle.

  Professor Stromwell : Are you sure?

  David : Yes.

  Professor Stromwell : Would you be willing to stake your life on it?

  David : I think so.

  Professor Stromwell : What about his life?

  David : I don't know.

  Professor Stromwell : Well, I recommend knowing before speaking. The law leaves much room for interpretation, but very little for self-doubt. And you were right. It was Aristotle.
