Sam Do you wanna hear my side of it?
Sam, how can there be two sides?
Sam Hey, look, I got every question right on the final and the only reason why Mr. Spengler failed me was because I didn't write out the solutions.
Why not?
Sam I do them in my head.
Did you tell him that?
Sam I did. He didn't believe me. He said that if he can't do them in his head then I must be cheating.
Well, that's ridiculous! How can he fail you for being smarter than he is?
Sam That's what I said.
You did? [Smirks] How'd he take it?
Sam He flunked me, remember?
Man you got some serious competition.
Sam Please.
I bet he's really rich too.
Sam Shut up.
Hey, thanks for bringing us here.
J.D. I couldn't let you leave New York without seeing the Natural History Museum.
Sam [Under his breath]
Of course not. It's the world's finest collection of stuffed animals.
Sam Excuse me, are there any pay-phones on the upper floors?
No, no, no. Uh, but there are some on the mezzanine.
Sam Great. [Walks away]
Oh, but I-I-I think it's all underwater!
Here it is. Oh, this fireplace probably hasn't been used in about a hundred years.
Sam [He opens the flue, dodging the snow that falls from the chimney.]
Ugh, whoa. Alright. [He starts ripping up books and throwing them in the fireplace]
What are you doing?
Sam What did you think we were going to burn?
You can't burn books!
NO! Absolutely not!
Sam You wanna freeze to death?
I've got one. Your favorite vacation?
Sam Besides this one?
Everything I've ever cared about, everything I've worked for, has all been preparation for a future that no longer exists. I know you always thought I took the competition too seriously. You were right. It was all for nothing.
Sam No. No, I just said that to avoid admitting the truth.
The truth about what?
Sam About why I joined the team. I joined it because of you.
