:52:01
But those people on the screen
ain't even supposed to be you.

:52:05
They're college students...
:52:07
who live with their parents
in big houses in the suburbs.

:52:10
They're gonna get degrees, get good jobs,
and they're gonna stop being nerds.

:52:14
Remember what I told you
about loud talking? Use your inside voice.

:52:18
Look, Toby, the guys in that movie...
:52:20
are not 28-year-old file clerks
who live with their grandmother...

:52:23
- in an ethnic ghetto.
- That's enough.

:52:25
They didn't get their computers
the way you did...

:52:28
by trading in a bunch of box tops
and $49.50 at the supermarket.

:52:32
You're funny, Harvey.
:52:34
I'm getting in the front.
:52:35
Sure, Toby, fine.
You go to the movies and daydream...

:52:39
but this Revenge of the Nerds ain't reality.
It's Hollywood bullshit.

:52:43
Harvey, let him alone.
:52:46
The thing that I loved about it is
I was transported to another time in my life.

:52:50
- I like when they took the video cameras...
- lf everyone could see it...

:52:54
It's the same as the "I Have a Dream"
speech.

:52:56
It's very empowering.
:52:57
Maybe I was being so harsh on Toby
on account of my own problems.

:53:01
You see, I wasn't even married a month...
:53:03
and my old lady
was already showing signs of trouble.

:53:06
Granted, I tend to get married fast,
'cause I'll take any woman that'll have me.

:53:11
But this time I really met my match.
:53:16
How about these old 78s? Can't you
sell them to one of your collectors?

:53:20
Are you kidding me, man? No way.
:53:22
I ain't getting rid of my 78s.
:53:24
Forget it, then. I give up.
:53:26
How can I make more storage space
if you won't get rid of anything?

:53:29
You know what? I'll get rid of stuff.
:53:32
- Just not my good stuff.
- Everything is your good stuff.

:53:35
How am I supposed to live here
if there's no room for me?

:53:37
Come on, baby.
:53:39
I'll make room for you, okay?
:53:42
You just have to give me time.
I'm not so good at these things.

:53:45
- Because you're obsessive-compulsive.
- Come on!

:53:47
I don't wanna hear that psycho-babble crap.
:53:49
I don't care if you don't wanna hear it.
You are the poster child for the DSM III.

:53:53
I'll have you know
I come from a very dysfunctional family.

:53:56
I can spot a personality disorder miles away.
