“I can't swim.” – David, WarGames ... Movie Quotes Database

David

I can't swim.

Jennifer

You can't swim?

David

No, I can't, all right, Wonder Woman? I can't swim.

Jennifer

Well, what kind of an asshole grows up in Seattle and doesn't even know how to swim?

David

I never got around to it, okay? I always thought there was gonna be plenty of time!

Jennifer

Sorry.

David

I wish I didn't know about any of this. I wish I was like everybody else in the world, and tomorrow it would just be over. There wouldn't be any time to be sorry about anything. Oh, Jesus! I really wanted to learn how to swim. I swear to God I did.

McKittrick I don't have to take that, you pig-eyed sack of shit. General Beringer Oh, I was hoping for something a little better than that from you, sir. A man of your education.
