Skylar I can be in the NBA. I'm tall, I like to wear shorts. Hook! Hook! Dunk! Dunk! Baby, I'm all about three points.

So, you ladies ah, go to school here?
Lydia
Yes.
Yeah, cause I think I had a class with you.
Skylar What class?
Ah, history I think.
Skylar Oh...
Yah, just cause I go here doesn't mean I'm a genuis...I am actually very smart...
...
Clark
What class did you say that was?
History.
Clark
History? Just history? It must have been a survey course then, huh?
Yeah, it was, it was surveys.
Clark
Right.
Chukie
You should check it out, it's a good course. It's a, uh...good..good class.
Clark
How'd you like that course?
You know...Frankly, I found the class, you know, rather...uh...elementary.
Clark
Elementary? Oh, I don't doubt that it was...I remember the class, it was just between recess and lunch.
...
All right, are we gonna have a problem?
Clark
There's no problem. I was just hoping you could give me some insight into the evolution of the market economy in the early colonies. My contention is that prior to the Revolutionary War the economic modalities, especially of the southern colonies could most aptly be characterized as agrarian pre-capitalist and...
[interrupting]
Of course that's your contention. You're a first year grad student. You just got finished some Marxian historian, Pete Garrison prob'ly, you're gonna be convinced of that until next month when you get to James Lemon, then you're gonna be talkin' about how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist back in 1740. That's gonna last until next year, you're gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood, talkin' about you know, the Pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization.
Clark
[taken aback]
Well, as a matter of fact, I won't, because Wood drastically underestimates the impact of--
..."Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth..." You got that from "Work in Essex County," Page 98, right? Yeah I read that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us- you have any thoughts of- of your own on this matter? Or do- is that your thing, you come into a bar, you read some obscure passage and then you pretend- you pawn it off as your own- your own idea just to impress some girls? Embarrass my friend?
[Clark is stunned]
See the sad thing about a guy like you, is in about 50 years you're gonna start doin' some thinkin' on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life. One, don't do that. And two, you dropped a hundred and fifty grand on a ****in' education you coulda' got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the Public Library.
Clark
Yeah, but I will have a degree, and you'll be serving my kids fries at a drive-thru on our way to a skiing trip.
Skylar You're an idiot. I've been sitting over there for 45 minutes waiting for you to come and talk to me, but I'm tired now and I hafta' go home, and I..I couldn't sit there any more waiting for you.
Well..I'm Will.
Skylar Skylar.
Skylar.
Skylar Oh, and by the way, that guy over there...the Michael Bolton clone...he wasn't singing with us, so to speak.
Yeah, I know. I kinda' got that impression.
Skylar Good. Okay. Well, I've got to go. Gotta' get up early and waste some more money on my overpriced education.
No..I didn't mean you. I--
Skylar Oh, that's all right. There's my number. Maybe we could go out for coffee sometime?
All right, yeah. May-maybe we could just get together and eat a bunch of caramels.
Skylar What?
When you think about it, it's just as arbitrary as drinking coffee.
Skylar [laughs]
Okay, sounds good.
Skylar Who?
It's Will. I'm, you know, the really funny, good-lookin' guy you met at the bar the other night.
Skylar I don't recall anyone who matched that description. I think I'd remember.
All right. Well, you got me. It's the ugly, obnoxious toothless loser who got hammered and wouldn't leave you alone all night.
Slylar
Ohhhh, Wiill. I remember.
Skylar I'm going there [Stanford] in June when I graduate.
Oh, all right, so you just wanted to--to use this sailor and then uh..run away, huh?
Skylar Well, I was gonna, you know, experiment on you for anatomy class first. Obviously.
Skylar You were hoping to get a goodnight kiss.
No, you know. I'll tell ya, I was hoping to get a goodnight lay... But I'll settle for like, a kiss, you know.
Skylar [Bursts out laughing]
How very noble of you.
Thank you. But I was, you know, hoping for a good night kiss.
Skylar Well, let's just get it over with.
Right now?
Skylar Yup. Come on.
Skylar [They have their first kiss, Skylar giggling the whole time] [after a few seconds, Skylar bursts out laughing]
I think I got some of your pickle!
Skylar Do you have lots of brothers and sisters?
I'm Irish Catholic, what do you think?
Skylar But how many?
You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Skylar Why? Go on, what, 5? 7? 8? How many?
I have 12 big brothers.
Skylar You do not have 12 brothers.
I swear to God, I swear to God, I'm lucky 13 right here.
Skylar Do you know all their names?
Do I... yeah they're my brothers.
Skylar What are they called?
Marky, Ricky, Danny, Terry, Mikey, Davey, Timmy, Tommy, Joey, Robby, Johnny, and Brian.
Skylar Say it again.
Marky, Ricky, Danny, Terry, Mikey, Davey, Timmy, Tommy, Joey, Robby, Johnny, and Brian.
Skylar ...and Willy.
Willy? Will...
Skylar What if I said I would not sleep with you again until you let me meet your friends?
I'd say it's like 4:30 in the morning, they're probably up.
Skylar Oh my god. Men are shameless. If you're not thinking with your wiener, then you're acting directly on its behalf.
You bet. And on behalf of my wiener, can I get like an advanced payment?
Skylar I don't understand how your mind works.
Do you play the piano?
Skylar I wanna talk about this.
No, I'm tryin' to explain it to you. Do you play the piano?
Skylar Yeah, a bit.
Okay, when you look at a piano you see Mozart, right?
Skylar I see "Chopsticks."
Beethoven, okay. He looked at a piano, and it just made sense to him. He could just play.
Skylar So what are you saying? You play the piano?
No, not a lick. I mean, I look at a piano, I see a bunch of keys, three pedals, and a box of wood. But Beethoven, Mozart, they saw it, they could just play. I couldn't paint you a picture, I probably can't hit the ball out of Fenway, and I can't play the piano.
Skylar But you can do my o-chem paper in under an hour.
Right. Well, I mean when it came to stuff like that... I could always just play.
Skylar Well, what aren't you scared of? You live in this safe little world where no one challenges you and you're scared shitless to do anything else but defend yourself because that would mean you'd hafta' change.
Oh no. Don't, don't, don't tell me about my world. Don't tell me about my world! I mean you just wanna have you fling with like the guy from the other side of town. Then you're going to go off to Stanford, you're going to marry some rich prick who your parents will approve of and just sit around with the other trust fund babies and talk about how you went slumming too, once.
Skylar Why are you saying this? What is your obsession with this money? My father died when I was 13 and I inherited this money. You don't think that every day I wake up and wish I could give it back? That I would give it back in a second if I could have one more day with him? But I can't, and that's my life and I deal with it. So don't put your shit on me when you're the one that's afraid.
I'm afraid? What am I afraid of? What the **** am I afraid of?
Skylar You're afraid of me! You're afraid that I won't love you back! **** it, I wanna give it a shot! At least I'm honest with you.
What do you want to know? What? That I don't have twelve brothers?
Skylar Yes.
That I'm a ****in' orphan!
Skylar Yes.
No, you don't wanna hear that!
Skylar I didn't know that.
No, you don't wanna hear that.
Skylar I didn't know it.
You don't wanna hear that I had ****in' cigarettes put out on me when I was a little kid.
Skylar Oh...I didn't know that...
That this isn't ****in' surgery, that the mother****er stabbed me. You don't wanna hear that shit, Skylar.
Skylar I do wanna hear it.
Don't tell me you want to hear that shit!
Skylar I want to hear it because I want to help you. Because I want to--
Help me! What the ****? What I got a **** sign on my back? That says "save me?"
Skylar No.
Do I look like I need that?
Skylar No. God, I just want to be with you because I love you!
Don't bullshit me. Don't bullshit me. Don't you ****in' bullshit me!
Skylar I love you. I wanna hear you say that you don't love me. Because if you say that, then I won't call you, and I won't be in your life...
I don't love you.
