Luke quotes from Joan of Arcadia

Luke

So I asked Grace to do this thing with me, and, at the time, she said "yes". Sort of. But...

Joan

Wait, Grace Polk said yes to you?

Luke

It was somewhat contingent, but, essentially, yeah.

Joan

Huh, you're so gonna get it.

Luke

But see, I don't know if she actually remembers me asking, so do I - do I have to do the full reapproach, or...?

Joan

What is she going to wear, because they don't make gowns out of fatigues.

Luke

What are we talking about?

Joan

You asked Grace Polk to the semi-formal.

Luke

I asked her to be my partner in the science fair.

Joan

Wow. Science really is like sex to you.

Kevin

Maybe if learned how to shoot some hoops, we could turn you into a real man - put a smile on your face.

Luke

God, why don't you just cut out the cocky athletic crap, Kevin. You're not that guy anymore and never will be again. [Pause] I'm - I'm sorry.

Kevin

What's your problem? The more things that go my way, the more pissed off you get. What's that about?

Luke

I said, "I'm sorry," okay? It won't happen again.

Kevin

Yes it will. What do you and your science friends call that - Law of Inertia? What is it?

Kevin

What's the problem, Luke?

Luke

THAT! Right there. Do you have any idea how much I hated you for shoving me and hitting me and making fun of me all the time? And no one would say anything about it because you were the big star and I was just a geek. You know, after your accident, when I heard you'd never walk again, I was happy.

Joan

Just explain the electromagnetic spectrum to me.

Luke

Nope.

Joan

Luke, it's not for school. It's personal.

Luke

[staring at Joan; pencil falls from his teeth] You have personal issues with the electromagnetic spectrum?
