David : [pause] I'm sorry?
Elle : Sorry for what? For breaking my heart, or for giving me the greatest pleasure I've ever known and just taking it away?
David : Both?
Elle : Well, forget it. I've spent too much time crying over you.

Professor Stromwell : The law is reason free from passion. Does anyone know who spoke those immortal words?
David : Aristotle.
Professor Stromwell : Are you sure?
David : Yes.
Professor Stromwell : Would you be willing to stake your life on it?
David : I think so.
Professor Stromwell : What about his life?
David : I don't know.
Professor Stromwell : Well, I recommend knowing before speaking. The law leaves much room for interpretation, but very little for self-doubt. And you were right. It was Aristotle.
