40 Days and 40 Nights (2002)

“Guys don’t fake it. I don’t even think that we can.”

No known awards.

Matt: Hey, have you ever noticed the crack on my ceiling?
Ryan: Dude, you’re action-packed with issues.

Erica: If I told you, “Don’t think about the color red”, what would you think about?
Matt: Sex.

Ryan: One – you can’t do it. It’s j… This isn’t a personal attack towards you, I’m just saying that no man can do it. It goes against nature. The male was biologically designed to spread his seed, Matt. You’re gonna piss off the seeds, man! You’re gonna… It goes against science! You wanna be the guy who goes against science?
Matt: And two?
Ryan: Two – are you out of your fucking mind? You’re the guy who can’t finish a sandwich! You think you can go 40 days? Four… Do… This isn’t normal. Did your brother put you up to this or something?
Matt: No. You know what? He’s about as supportive as you are. And what do you care, anyway? This doesn’t affect you in any way.
Ryan: You… This affects everyone.

Erica: Don’t you ever feel like you just keep meeting the same exact people over and over? You know, like people that went to this kind of college and…
Matt: And now in that kind of job, right?
Erica: Yeah. I wanna have a party with a list on my door of all my friends and friends of friends, and if you’re on that list, or know somebody on that list, then you cannot come in.
Matt: How do you know I am not on that list?
Erica: Nobody on that list would have talked to me like you did last week, or not talked to me.

Nicole: You never think about me anymore? Not even just a little?
Matt: Let me put it this way: I have thought about you – about us – a lot, but tonight, when you came in, was the first time I didn’t get all fucked up about it.

Matt: Everything was going great until you had to… I stopped having sex, I’m totally falling for Erica, and I’m finally over Nicole.
Ryan: You really think you’re over her?
Matt: Fuck yeah! Bitch.
