• 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] 

  Matthew : being a fucking 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 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.

• Eli : [as Danielle walks ahead]  Dude!

  Matthew : I know.

  [smiles] 

  Klitz : [also in awe]  Dude!

  Matthew : I know.

  [smiles] 

• [repeated line] 

  Matthew : It's not funny.

  Danielle : It's a little funny.

• Matthew : Why are you doing this?

  Danielle : What?

  Matthew : This.

  Danielle : Isn't this what you want? To fuck a porn star in a cheap motel room? So this is what you really think of me.

• Matthew : Okay.

  Kelly : Okay what?

  Matthew : [dares Kelly]  Show 'em the tape.

  Kelly : I'm not fuckin' around.

  Matthew : I just don't care anymore.

  Kelly : This... is gonna be interesting.

• Danielle : Thank you.

  Matthew : For what?

  Danielle : I never went to prom.

• Matthew : I just feel so weird...

  Danielle : Shh. Relax. Ecstasy is not that bad.

  Matthew : What?

  Danielle : Kelly likes dosing people with E.

  Matthew : Oh, my God. Am I gonna die?

• Matthew : [to Samnang]  You better cure cancer, kid.

• 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, I'm never going to see her again.

  Eli : Oh, you know what? Fine!

  Matthew : Fine!

  Eli : Fine!

  [pause during scene change] 

  Eli : Goddammit Matt! I swear to God if you don't fuck her, I'll kill myself! Matt! Please! Please, Matt! Fuck her for me! For me!

• Danielle : Ooh, boxers.

  Matthew : I always wear boxers. You just caught me on a weird day.

• Matthew : Why didn't you just tell me?

  Danielle : Because I didn't want to, okay? Because I loved the way you looked at me. God, do you have any idea how hard...

  [walks away] 

  Matthew : Hold on!

  Danielle : [shouts]  Fuck you.

• Matthew : I just wanna let you know, I know who you really are, and you're better than this.

• Matthew : [awkwardly driving with Danielle]  It's such a long road, you know?

• Matthew : I'm in so much trouble.

• Matthew : Do you have the fever?

  Klitz : No. Why? Do you?

  Matthew : I don't know. Maybe.

  [turns to Eli] 

  Matthew : 'Bout you?

  Eli : I just gotta fuck something.

• Karate Guy in Porn Film : Oooh, excellent, grasshopper. And now, for the final task of your training.

  Danielle : You're gonna need a harder piece of wood that that, cowboy.

  Matthew : That's not her.

  Eli : Yeah, it is.

  Matthew : Oh, no.

  Eli : Oh, yeah.

• Danielle : [about Hunter and his crew]  Look. They're coming to you.

  Hunter : Yo, Matt.

  Matthew : What's up?

  Hunter : What's up. Can we talk to you for a second?

  Matthew : Dude, I'm with my girl.

  Hunter : Oh, sorry man. Should we come back?

  Danielle : No, I'll leave you guys alone.

  [gets up to leave, and passionately kisses Matt] 

  Matthew : [turns to watch Danielle leave, folds his arms behind his head, then nonchalantly]  What's up?

  Dr. Salinger : Matthew, what has been going on?

  Matthew : Some serious shit.

  Matthew : Just living life, my man.

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

  Matthew : Yeah, but this is breaking and entering.

  Kelly : This is politics.

• Kelly : If I'm gonna do this payment plan thing, I need a show of good faith, you know, something concrete.

  Matthew : Well, like what?

  Kelly : A blow job.

  Matthew : Nah, I told you. She's not gonna do that anymore.

  Kelly : Who said anything about her?

  [beat] 

  Kelly : Yeah. We're definitely outside the box now, huh? Now you gotta ask yourself, how far are you willing to go, hmm? How much do you really care about her?

  [Kelly unzips his pants, then starts laughing] 

  Kelly : I'm joking, man! Relax. Damn! Do I look gay to you?

• Eli : Matt, time to go, time to go!

  Matthew : What happened?

  Klitz : It got bad. Bolt! Bolt!

  Klitz : [running away]  Dude, wait up!

  Eli : [running in front of Klitz]  Fuck you, dude!

• Matthew : Oh my god, she's so hot.

  Eli : What channel, dude?

• [after Matt's parents and Dr. Salinger leave the dining room table, both Matt and Kelly have a private conversation with an assumed adult film tape Eli and his "minions" made during prom night] 

  Kelly : [turning cross]  So how was Prom?

  Matthew : That's mine.

  Kelly : You know, we were gettin' along fine. But now you go and do this? This was my idea. Now I'm really gonna fuck your shit up!

  Matthew : I'm gonna need that back.

  Kelly : Oh.

  [Kelly pushes the tape towards him] 

  Kelly : Take it from me.

  [Matt leans forward and thinks about it, but Kelly thinks he's chicken] 

  Kelly : Yeah. What are you gonna do?

  Matthew : [becomes brave]  I don't have to do anything. Hugo Posh will. He's my partner on this 50-50. So... can I please have my tape back?

  Kelly : FUCK...!

  [coughs, then whispers] 

  Kelly : Fuck you. I'm takin' your half then.

  Matthew : No. That money's going to Samnang. The money you stole from him!

  Kelly : You say that like I care. I don't give a shit! You're giving me your half.

  Matthew : And if I don't?

  Kelly : [picks up the tape]  Showtime.

• Danielle : So what's the craziest thing you've done lately?

  Matthew : Oh I mean, it's hard to tell, you know. I've just done so much nuts stuff.

  Danielle : You haven't done anything, have you?

• Mr. Peterson : [while both receiving lap dances]  So, what was the scholarship for?

  Matthew : Moral fiber.

• Matthew : Well, I don't speak a foreign language, so that's out. And I can't quote John F. Kennedy now, can I, Ryan?

• Matt : No, that money is going to Samnang. The money that you stole from him.

  Kelly : It's funny, you say that like I care. I don't give a shit!

• Matthew : Excuse me.

  [starts making out with Danielle] 

• Matthew : So what do you do besides torture people?

  [Danielle laughs] 

• Matthew : [at the porn convention]  Oh, by the way, if things get bad, just bolt, okay?

  Eli : What? Bro, what do you mean, "if things get bad?"

  Matthew : Just bolt.

  [goes off] 

  Eli : [to Klitz]  Bro, what's he talking about?

• Matthew : [repeated line] 

  Matthew : Fuck it.
