Emile Hirsch: Matthew Kidman

The Girl Next Door

Matthew Kidman

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.

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: 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.

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!

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

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?

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.

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?
