Risky Business

"Im really trying to be friends with you. But Id appreciate it if youd stop laying these little judgments on me while youre leaning on your daddys $40,000 car."

"[voiceover] The dream is always the same. Instead of going home, I go to the neighbors. I ring, but nobody answers. The door is open, so I go inside. Im looking around for the people, but nobody seems to be there. And then I hear the shower running, so I go upstairs to see whats what. Then I see her; this... girl, this incredible girl. I mean, what shes doing there I dont know, because she doesnt live there... but its a dream, so I go with it. "Whos there?" she says. "Joel," I say. "What are you doing here?" "I dont know what Im doing here; what are you doing here?" "Im taking a shower," she says. Then I give her: "You want me to go?" "No," she says; "I want you to wash my back." So now, Im gettin enthusiastic about this dream. So I go to her, but shes hard to find through all the steam and stuff; I keep losing her. Finally I get to the door... and I... find myself in a room full of kids taking their college boards. Im over three hours late; Ive got two minutes to take the whole test. Ive... just made a terrible mistake. Ill never get to college. My life is ruined."

"[about Lana] It was great the way her mind worked: No guilt, no doubts, no fear. None of my specialties. Just this shameless pursuit of immediate material gratification. What a capitalist! She told me I could make more money in one night than Id make all year. Enough to pay for my fathers car. She told me shed be my girlfriend. She told me a lot of things. I believed them all. So, she introduced me to her friends. I introduced her to my friends."

"It seems to me that if there were any logic to our language, trust would be a four letter word."

"Just use your best judgment. We trust you."

"[voiceover] My name is Joel Goodson. I deal in human fulfillment. I grossed over eight thousand dollars in one night. Time of your life, huh kid?"

"Joel, you look like a smart kid. Im going to tell you something Im sure youll understand. Youre having fun now, right? Right, Joel? The time of your life. In a sluggish economy, never ever fuck with another mans livelihood. Now, if youre smart, and I hope you are, youre not gonna make me come back here."
