Luke Quote #463
Quote from Luke in Commencement
Luke: I say if Alex doesn't want to go to her graduation, that's her decision.
Alex: Thank you, Luke.
Luke: As long as you know that whatever's going on here isn't about math.
Haley: Yeah, I think maybe you're afraid to leave school.
Alex: What?
Haley: Your whole life, you've always known exactly what you're supposed to do... study, get good grades, repeat. Now that's over, and it's scary. Kind of like if zero equaled 1.
Luke: But lucky for you, your dummy brother and sister have spent time in the real world. And if we can handle it, you're gonna do just fine.

Quote from Jay
Manny: And sorry if I'm distracted. It's cut day at CalArts. Half of the class isn't being asked back.
Gloria: Manny, my mother's intuition tells me that you have nothing to worry about.
Manny: It's just so cruel. I'm halfway to a playwriting degree and a minor in mask-making and they're just gonna throw me out on the street with no way to support myself?
Jay: As a wise man will say in about two hours, "Be grateful for the rocks life rolls in your path, for one day, you'll see them as stepping stones." I had that in my "maybe" pile. Trust yourself, Jay.
Quote from Alex
Alex: [aside to camera] So we were done with classes, done with finals, and, like college seniors since the beginning of time, we decided to get a little nuts.
[flashback:]
All: Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!
[v.o.:]
Alex: Our classmate Ashish Chug hacked his key card to get us access to the restricted section of the library. We decided to read Alister's Last Theorem. Gottlob Alister wrote a proof showing that zero equals one. This rendered mathematics meaningless and drove him insane. According to legend, the same fate befalls anyone who reads and understands the proof.
Quote from Jay
Jay: Hey, hey, hey, I was humiliated much worse than you. It was so unfair. A lifetime of service out the window. You think I don't see the faces of owls every night I close my eyes?
Joe: At least you've accomplished something they can tear down. I'm a fraud!
Gloria: You see what you did to your brother? Look at those sad, hurt eyes.
Jay: Like a sad little owl.
