| Quotes |
Dot:
I told you I only date assholes. Trevor: Yes, and I'm not an asshole. And since you want an asshole, my not being an asshole makes me more of an asshole than the assholes that you normally date, because they're giving you exactly what you want, whereas I, by not being an asshole, am not. Which makes me an asshole. Dot: I can't believe I actually understood that. See more » |
