Jake
[about Samantha's panties]

These are really hers?

Yeah.

Jake

How did you get 'em?

She gave 'em to me.

Jake

Did you...

No! No, Jake. She's cranked for you. I told her you asked about her, right? The girl freaked. She had a fit. She thinks you're the cat's meow!

Jake

Really? She came up to me in the gym tonight. She looked at me like I was a leper.

Girls will do that, Jake. You know? They know that guys are like in perpetual heat, right? They know we do it, and they enjoy pumping us up. It's pure power politics, I'm telling you.

Jake

I thought she hated my guts.

Games, Jake. Silly torturous games. You know how many times I've gone without lunch because some bitch borrows my lunch money? Any halfway decent girl can rob me - blind! Because I'm too torqued up to say no. It's heinous, I'm telling you.

Jake

You better not be dickin' me around. It'd be a major downer to try and get together with this girl and find out that she really does think I'm a slime.

Jake, would I dick you? Let me put it to you this way: what happens to me if I dick you?

Jake

Heh, I'd kick your ass.

Right! So why would I lie? But I feel compelled to mention to you, Jake, that if all you want of the girl is a piece of ass, I mean, I'll either do it myself, or get someone bigger than me to kick your ass. I mean, not many girls in contemporary American society today would give their underwear to help a geek like me.

Jake

I can get a piece of ass anytime I want. Shit, I've got Caroline in the bedroom right now, passed out cold. I could violate her ten different ways if I wanted to.

[almost chokes on a pretzel]

What are you waiting for?

Jake

I don't know. She's beautiful, and she's built and all that. [Sighs] I'm just not interested anymore.

Does that really matter, guy?

Jake

Yeah, it matters. She's totally insensitive. Look what she did to my house. She doesn't know shit about love. Only thing she cares about is partying. I want a serious girlfriend. Somebody I can love, that's gonna love me back. Is that psycho?

That's beautiful, Jake.

Jake

I'll make a deal with you. [about Samantha's panties] You let me keep these, I'll let you take Caroline home. But you gotta make sure she gets home, you can't leave her in some parking lot. Okay?

Jake, I'm only a freshman.

Jake

So, she's so blitzed she won't know the difference.

Jake, I don't have a car.

Jake

You can take mine.

Jake, I don't have a license.

Jake

I trust you.

This is your car, Jake?

Jake

No, this is my dad's car. You said you can't drive a stick.

This is a...! This is a Rolls Royce, Jake.

Jake

So?

So? So? I heard the grill alone costs five grand on this. Five grand! Do you have five grand? I don't have five grand.

Jake

Then don't hit anything.

[incredulous]

Ha ha! Don't hit anything.

Howard Baker
[to Jake Ryan on the phone]

Are you the little beggar that's been calling up here all night and then hanging up?

Jake

Would it be possible for you to tell me if there's a Samantha Baker here? And if there is, may I speak with her briefly?

Howard Baker

Yes, it is, and no, you may not!

Thanks for getting my undies back.

Jake

Thanks for coming over.

Thanks for coming to get me.

Jake

Happy birthday, Samantha. Make a wish.

It already came true. [they kiss]
