Quotes 

• Paul Denton : I watched him with growing intensity as he refilled the pipe in the dark and smokey din of the room. He delicately fingered what looked like dried moss to me, and it struck me then that I liked Sean because he looked, well, slutty. A boy who'd been around. A boy who couldn't remember if he was Catholic or not.

• Paul Denton : I feel like my life lacks forward momentum, ya know.

• Sean Bateman : No one ever ever knows anyone. You're not ever gonna know me.

  Paul : What the hell does that mean?

  Sean Bateman : It means, Paul, you're not ever gonna know me. Deal with it. Figure it out.

  Paul : Fuck you, Bateman! Fuck you Bateman!

• Donald : Need I remind you we have somebody OD-ing back here?

  Paul Denton : He's not OD-ing. He's a freshman. Freshmen don't OD.

• Sean Bateman : [Under his breath]  I need a case of beer.

  Paul Denton : A quesadilla?

  Sean Bateman : What?

  Paul Denton : A quesadilla? Mexican food? El Sombrero?

  Sean Bateman : El Sombrero closed a long time ago.

  Paul Denton : How 'bout tomorrow then? 7:30? I'll buy.

  Sean Bateman : [Hesitant]  Ah...

  [Realizes] 

  Sean Bateman : You'll buy?

  Paul Denton : Totally buy.

  Sean Bateman : Rock 'n' roll.

• Paul Denton : What the hell are you doing?

  Dick : Getting fucked up. Maybe getting fucked?

• Paul Denton : Do you have any E?

  Harry : That shit makes your spinal fluid run backwards.

• Paul Denton : Oh, Jesus, Richard is that you?

  Dick : It's Dick. And yes.

• Paul Denton : Sometimes I'm amazed at the shit the spills out of my mouth.

• Paul Denton : What'd he do, try to OD on Sudafed and wine coolers?

• Paul : Three months later, the handsome dunce was having an affair with a friend of mine. Within a year he was a full-blown queen and telling people I couldn't get it up. Luck has nothing to do with anything.
