    • Quotes

      Scotty Wandell: I know my friends weren't the warmest last night.

      Kevin Walker: I should have worn a parka!

      Scotty Wandell: They were just being protective.

      Kevin Walker: From what? Me?

      Scotty Wandell: You have to admit our history has been a little bit checkered.

      Kevin Walker: I'm not solely responsible for the checkery, okay? Do you tell them any of the good stuff.

      Scotty Wandell: Yes, they just happen to remember the other stuff. They'll warm up to you, you're different. They're more... bohemian.

      Kevin Walker: Come on, admit it. They just think I'm boring.

      Scotty Wandell: No, they just think you're... uptight.

      Kevin Walker: I am not uptight!

      Scotty Wandell: Okay. Whatever you need to tell yourself.
