You're so patronising.
Patrick Leave it to you to use big words when you're smashed.
I don't think so.
Patrick Okay...
Why are you doing this?
Patrick I told you. You may have a concussion.
You don't care if I never wake up.
Patrick Sure I do.
Why?
Patrick Because, well then, I'd have to start taking out girls who actually like me.
Like you could find one.
Patrick Ooh, see that, there? Who needs affection when I have blind hatred?
Patrick So what's your excuse?
For?
Patrick Acting the way we do.
I don't like to do what people expect. Why should I live up to other people's expectations instead of my own?
Patrick So you disappoint them from the start and then you're covered, right?
Something like that...
Patrick Then you screwed up.
How?
Patrick You never disappointed me.
Patrick Someone still has her panties in a twist.
Don't think for one minute that you had any effect whatsoever on my panties.
Patrick Well then, what did I have an effect on?
Other than my upchuck reflex, nothing.
Patrick Not a big talker, are you?
Depends on the subject. My fenders don't exactly whip me into a verbal frenzy.
She never wanted me. She wanted Joey the whole time.
Patrick Cameron, do you like the girl?
Yeah...
Patrick Yeah, and is she worth all this trouble?
Well, I thought she was, but you know...
Patrick Well, she is or she isn't. See, first of all, Joey is not half the man you are. Secondly, don't let anyone, ever, make you feel like you don't deserve what you want. Go for it.
Wow, is this what a bar looks like?
Patrick So, what have ya got for me?
A little insight into a very complicated girl....Uhh, excuse me, just one question before we start. Should you be drinking alcohol when you don't have a liver?
All right, first thing, Kat hates smokers.
Patrick So you're telling me I'm a... non-smoker.
Yes... well, just for now.
And, umm, here's another problem. Bianca said that Kat likes... pretty guys.
Patrick Are you telling me I'm not a pretty guy?
H--... he's very pretty. He's a gorgeous guy.
Yeah... I... I... just wasn't sure.
All right, here's this... Likes Thai food, feminist prose and angry girl music of the indie rock persuasion. Here's a list of CDs she has in her room...
Patrick So, I'm supposed to buy her some noodles and a book and sit around listening to chicks who can't play their instruments, right?
Have you ever been to Club Skunk?
Her favorite band's playing there tomorrow night.
Patrick I can't be seen at Club Skunk. All right?
But she'll be there, she's got tickets.
Just assail your ears for one night.
She has a pair of black underwear... If that helps.
You're not surrounded by your usual cloud of smoke.
Patrick I know, I quit. Apparently they're bad for you.
You think?!
Patrick Verona. I see we're making our visits a weekly ritual.
Patrick Only so we can have these moments together. Should I, uh, hit the lights?
Oh, very clever, kangaroo boy. Says here you exposed yourself in the cafeteria?
Patrick I was joking with the lunch lady. It was a bratwurst.
Bratwurst? Aren't we the optimist? Next time, keep it in your pouch, okay? Now scoot!
Sweet love, renew thy force.
Patrick Don't say shit like that to me. People can hear you.
Patrick Well maybe you're not afraid of me but I'm sure you've thought about me naked.
Okay I talked to her, I got the scoop.
What'd she say?
"Hates him with the fire of a thousand suns." That's a direct quote.
Patrick Thanks Michael. That's very comforting of you.
I just need to lie down somewhere
Patrick Uh, uh. You lie down and you'll go to sleep
Sleep is good
Patrick Yeah. Not if you have a concussion.
You can't just buy me a guitar every time you screw up, you know.
Patrick Yeah I know. But then you know there's always drums, and bass, and maybe even one day a tambourine.
Patrick You're right. She's still pissed.
Sweet love, renew thy force!
Patrick Hey, man! Don't say shit like that to me. People can hear you.
Look. you embarrassed the girl. Sacrifice yourself on the alter of dignity and even the score.
Patrick None of that stuff is true.
State trooper?
Patrick Fallacy. Uh, Dead guy in the parking lot?
Rumor. The Duck?
Patrick Hearsay. Bobby Ridgeway's balls?
Fact. But he deserved it. He tried to grope me in the lunch line.
Patrick Fair enough.
The accent?
Patrick It's real. I lived in Australia until I was 10.
With the Pygmies?
Patrick Close. With my mom.
Where were you last year? I know the porn career's a lie.
Patrick Do you?
[Both laugh]
Patrick [While dancing]
Milwaukee.
What?
Patrick That's where I was last year. I wasn't in jail, I don't know Marilyn Manson, and I didn’t sleep with a Spice Girl--I don’t think. You see, my grandpa, he was ill, so I spent most of the year on his couch watching Wheel of Fortune and making Spaghettios. End of story
Patrick Some asshole paid me to take out this really great girl.
Is that right?
Patrick Yeah, but I screwed up. I, um, I fell for her.
