Ashley : You know how you told me that every night before you go to bed you'd pray that you'd get into Stanford?
Shaun : Yeah?
Ashley : Well the other night I prayed for something too.
Shaun : What?
Ashley : I prayed... that you wouldn't get into Stanford.

Shaun : You think you're going to create a T-shirt company? You can't even dress yourself!

Lance : [Stripped down to his underwear] Shaun. Shaun...
Lance : Shaun. It's so psychedelic. Buddy, I light one match, and the building blows up.
[Giggles deviously, while Shaun looks slightly horrified]
Lance : Well, I was just tryin' to help you, bro.
Shaun : [Incredulous] By lighting the building on fire?
Lance : Well, I was high...
Shaun : You're *always* high! Y-you're a drugged out loser. You think you're gonna' create a T-shirt company? You can't even dress yourSELF!
Lance : [Deflated] Harsh.

Shaun : I should have seen this coming. The one day I need my family to come through for me, they end up doing what they always do: my father goes ballistic, my mother gets plastered, and my brother burns down a building. It's like they've all come together in some evil conspiracy to prevent me from getting anywhere.
Ashley : [Annoyed] Is that what you think?
Shaun : What else am I supposed to think?
Ashley : You know, I really believed, that you wanted to go to Stanford, because you wanted to study with Marcus Skinner. But that's not it, is it?
Shaun : What are you talking about?
Ashley : You want to run away. You want to be free of everybody. And you think by coming up here, you're gonna' meet people who are smarter, and saner... and better. You know, if you went to Stanford, that'd be the end of us. It doesn't seem to me that thought's ever crossed your mind.
Shaun : Oh, Ashley, come on!
Ashley : Shaun, I'm sorry you didn't get into Stanford. But if you think that going here is the only way that you can be the person you want to be, well, then I just feel sorry for you.

[Lance has discovered that Shaun can't get into Stanford]
Lance : You should sue, man. This isn't right. Sue the school.
Shaun : Shut up, Lance.
Lance : Or you know what? Just go to Stanford anyway. Go there and take the classes. Don't take "no" for an answer. Just say, "I'm goin' here. Kiss my ass."
Shaun : That's actually a good idea!
Lance : What is?
Shaun : I should! I should go up to Stanford! If I talk with the dean of admissions face to face, and tell him my situation, - he's gotta let me in.
Lance : I can get you there in three hours.
