Matthew
[while giving Danielle a crumpled paper]

I just want you to know that I know who you really are, and you're better than this. [Danielle uncrumples the paper and it is the drawing she made of the girl with lipstick at the table with Matthew.]

Matthew
[after Kelly gives him ectasy]

Oh my God, am I gonna die?!?

Matthew

Moral fiber. So, what is moral fiber? It's funny, I used to think it was always telling the truth, doing good deeds, basically [mumbling] being a **** boy scout. But lately I've been seeing it differently. Now I think moral fiber's about finding that one thing you really care about. That one special thing that means more to you than anything else in the world. And when you find her, you fight for her. You risk it all, you put her in front of everything, your future, your life, all of it. And maybe the stuff you do to help her isn't so clean. You know what? It doesn't matter. Because in your heart you know, that the juice is worth the squeeze. That's what moral fiber's all about.

Matthew

Matthew Kidman. I will always remember... The three legs of the tripod. My business partner. My student advisor. The next Einstein. Eli's calling card. Klitz's big debut. My own scholarship to Georgetown. And of course, I'll never forget the girl next door. As for me, I'm just going with it.

Mr. Peterson
[while both recieving lap dances]

So, what was the scholarship for?

Matthew

Moral fiber.

Eli

Dude, don't mess this up.

Matthew

Mess what up?

Eli

Matt, she's a porn star! Okay? Take her to a motel room and bang her like a beast!

Matthew

Eli, I like this girl.

Eli

And you can still like her with your penis inside her. Matthew, I tell you that you're going to regret this. What would JFK do? You know he'd tap that ass.

Matthew

Eli, you're never going to see her again.

Eli

Oh, you know what? Fine!

Matthew

Fine!

Eli

Fine! Goddammit Matt! I swear to God if you don't **** her, I'll kill myself! Matt! Please! Please! Matt! **** her for me! For me!

Matthew

Why are you doing this?

What?

Matthew

This.

Isn't that what you want? A porn star in a cheap motel? So this is what you really think of me.

Matthew

Why didn't you just tell me?

Because I didn't want to! Because I loved the way you looked at me. You don't understand how hard...

Matthew
[walks away]

Wait!

[shouts]

**** you.

Sometimes in life if you wanna do something good, you gotta do something bad.

Matthew

Yeah, but this is breaking and entering.

This is politics.

Mrs. Kidman
[referring to Eli & Klitz's porn star dates]

Eli, do those girls go to your school?

Eli

Actually, no, Mrs. Kidman, they're porn stars.
[Mrs. Kidman laughs dismisingly]
