Professor Stromwell
- Professor Stromwell: If you're going to let one stupid prick ruin your life... you're not the girl I thought you were.
- 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.
- [Elle has decided to quit law school after Professor Callahan made a pass on her. She is saying goodbye to Paulette]
- Elle: What's the point in staying, Paulette? I mean, all people see when they look at me is blond hair and big boobs. No one's ever gonna take me seriously. The people at law school don't. Warner doesn't. I don't think my own parents take me seriously. I just felt, like, for the first time that someone expected me to... to do something more with my life than just become a Victoria's Secret model. But I was just kidding myself. Callahan never saw me as a lawyer, he just saw me as a piece of ass. Just like everybody else.
- [sadly]
- Elle: Turns out... I am a joke.
- Paulette: [compassionately] No, you're not a joke.
- Elle: [They hug; unbeknowst to them, a woman is getting her hair done behind them] The hell with law school. I just wanted to say goodbye.
- [the woman getting her hair done turns around and is revealed to be Professor Stromwell]
- Professor Stromwell: [to Elle] If you're going to let one stupid prick ruin your life...
- [approaches Elle, who stares at her in astonishment]
- Professor Stromwell: ... You're not the girl I thought you were.
- [Stromwell smiles knowingly and admiringly at Elle before leaving. Elle stands there, stunned]
