Quotes
-
Sloan Sabbith : Since I'm never going to see you again after Friday, I feel I can tell you something...
Don Keefer : We'll see each other again!
Sloan Sabbith : Maybe not, after I say what I'm going to say.
Don Keefer : ...and you're not leaving.
Sloan Sabbith : I don't know who told you you're a bad guy, but somebody did. Somebody along the way. Somebody or something convinced you of it, because you think you're a bad guy... and you're just not. I'm socially inept, but even I know that. So because you're a bad guy you try to do things you think a good guy would do. Like committing to somebody you like, but maybe don't love. A sweet, smart, wholesome midwestern girl.
Don Keefer : [Stares at her, amazed]
Sloan Sabbith : I could be wrong. I almost always am.
Don Keefer : Why are you single?
Sloan Sabbith : A lot of men are intimidated by my intelligence.
Don Keefer : No, seriously.
Sloan Sabbith : Because you never asked me out.

Sloan Sabbith : The greater fool is someone with the perfect blend of self-delusion and ego to think he can succeed where others have failed. This whole country was made by greater fools.
