Quotes 

• Ashley : You know how you told me that every night before you go to bed you'd pray that you'd get into Stanford?

  Shaun : Yeah?

  Ashley : Well the other night I prayed for something too.

  Shaun : What?

  Ashley : I prayed... that you wouldn't get into Stanford.

  Shaun : [astonished]  Why?

  Ashley : Well I didn't really think it was gonna work!

• Ashley : Look Shaun, I'm sorry you didn't get into Stanford. But if you think that going here is the only way that you can be the person you want to be, well then I just feel sorry for you.

• Shaun : I should have seen this coming. The one day I need my family to come through for me, they end up doing what they always do: my father goes ballistic, my mother gets plastered, and my brother burns down a building. It's like they've all come together in some evil conspiracy to prevent me from getting anywhere.

  Ashley : [Annoyed]  Is that what you think?

  Shaun : What else am I supposed to think?

  Ashley : You know, I really believed, that you wanted to go to Stanford, because you wanted to study with Marcus Skinner. But that's not it, is it?

  Shaun : What are you talking about?

  Ashley : You want to run away. You want to be free of everybody. And you think by coming up here, you're gonna' meet people who are smarter, and saner... and better. You know, if you went to Stanford, that'd be the end of us. It doesn't seem to me that thought's ever crossed your mind.

  Shaun : Oh, Ashley, come on!

  Ashley : Shaun, I'm sorry you didn't get into Stanford. But if you think that going here is the only way that you can be the person you want to be, well, then I just feel sorry for you.
