or things that have happened,
and I've seen them...

:51:06
as a lot more happy things going on
in there. He just doesn't put that in...

:51:10
because he just doesn't think
that sunshine and flowers sell.

:51:16
Is that right?
:51:18
You always say, "Misery loves company."
:51:23
You know, I'm just a gloomy guy, that's all.
:51:28
It's my perspective: Gloom and doom.
:51:31
And see, I thought I was marrying somebody
with a sense of humor.

:51:36
I guess I fooled you.
:51:39
What a crock of shit, man.
:51:41
- That's not the point.
- You missed the whole point of the movie.

:51:42
- That's not the point.
- You missed the whole point of the movie.

:51:44
Where the hell am I supposed to find
the point in garbage?

:51:50
I agree with Toby.
I think it's a story of hope and tolerance.

:51:53
Yes, it's about time that the people
who get picked on get to be the heroes.

:51:58
It's an entertaining flick and all,
and I can see why you like it, Toby.

: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.
