• Uncle Frank : You got any friends, Andy?

  Andrew : No.

  Uncle Frank : Oh, why's that?

  Andrew : I don't know, I just never really saw the use.

  Jim : Dying broke and drunk and full of heroin at the age of 34 is not exactly my idea of success.

  Andrew : I'd rather die drunk, broke at 34 and have people at a dinner table talk about me than live to be rich and sober at 90 and nobody remembered who I was.

  Uncle Frank : Ah, but your friends will remember you, that's the point.

  Andrew : None of us were friends with Charlie Parker. *That's* the point.

  Uncle Frank : Travis and Dustin? They have plenty of friends and plenty of purpose.

  Andrew : I'm sure they'll make great school board presidents someday.

  Andrew : You catch on quick. Are you in Model UN?

  Travis : I got a reply for you, Andrew. You think Carleton football's a joke? Come play with us.

  Andrew : Four words you will never hear from the NFL.

  Aunt Emma : Who wants dessert?
