You Better Work (1999)

Brian Austin Green: David Silver

Quotes 

• David Silver : Dropping this off for Dylan McKay.

  Dr. Lecksis : Uh, that won't be necessary.

  David Silver : You know, you're, uh, you're shortchanging someone that could really use the chance.

  Dr. Lecksis : Mister...?

  David Silver : David Silver. Graduated in '97.

  Dr. Lecksis : Well, alumni recommendations, Mr. Silver, should be in written, not oral, form. Besides, our classes are at capacity.

  David Silver : My... my freshman year at C.U., I was, uh, I was working the graveyard shift at the radio station. I was sleeping through classes and doing stuff that I still regret. Before I know, I'm two research papers behind. So I'm thinking, you know, I'll drop the classes. And Dylan shows up at my front door with a stack of books from the library, and, uh, says...

  [laughs] 

  David Silver : He says that, uh, he doesn't hang with quitters. And he stayed, for three days, until I finished.

  Dr. Lecksis : Look, I appreciate...

  David Silver : Somewhere between then and now, Dylan turned into what he hated. He's been through hell and he's going to appreciate this a lot more than the pimply-faced freshman whose parents are forcing him to come. You know, I think you get him back on track, he'd be unstoppable. Anyway, the essay's great. You should give it a read before you throw it away.

• Dylan McKay : Hey. You know who called me today? That idiot Lecksis from the admissions office. He says I got in.

  David Silver : Hm.

  Dylan McKay : He also said some pesky kid kept stopping by on my behalf.

  David Silver : Yeah? Well, don't get too misty.

  Dylan McKay : If that's the way you want it.

  David Silver : "I slide by because I can."

  Dylan McKay : Where'd you get my essay?

  David Silver : Made myself a copy; it makes a great bookmark. "I blow through people, I cheat myself, and the only outcome after four years is sitting here thinking up lies that'll persuade you to let me in. I can't, so here's the truth. College won't fix what's wrong, but it'll get me closer. I'm out of options, I'm open to anything, and I'm ready to contribute." Why don't you show us all you weren't lying?

• Pia Swanson : [answering her cell phone]  Yeah? What? Where? You are so completely fired.

  [hangs up] 

  Pia Swanson : The limo we rented for the models is stuck in traffic on the 101. With the models.

  David Silver : [entering]  The people from New York just got here. Should I show them to their seats?

  [off the group's reaction] 

  David Silver : What?

  Donna Martin : Does an aneurysm hurt?

• David Silver : You want a pat on the back, call your grandma!
