Did Tom ever really have a chance with Summer?

358 Love it

McKenzie: [drunk] So do you have a boyfriend?

Summer: No.

McKenzie: Why not?

Summer: Because I don’t want one.

McKenzie: Come on; I don’t believe that.

Summer: You don’t believe that a woman could enjoy being free and independent?

McKenzie: Are you a lesbian?

Summer: [laughing] No I’m not a lesbian. I just, don’t feel comfortable being anyone’s girlfriend. I don’t actually feel comfortable being anyone’s anything.

McKenzie: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Summer: Really?

McKenzie: Nope.

Summer: Ok, let me break it down for you–

McKenzie: Break it down!

Summer: Ok. I, like being on my own. I think relationships are messy and people’s feelings get hurt. Who needs it? We’re young, we live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world; might as well have fun while we can and, save the serious stuff for later.

McKenzie: You’re a dude. [to Tom] She’s a dude!

Tom: Ok but wait–wait. What happens, if you fall in love?

[she scoffs]

Tom: What?

Summer: You don’t believe that, do you?

Tom: It’s love, it’s not Santa Claus.

    Tom: What are we looking for?
    Summer: A trivet.
    Tom: What about a ....?

    Did you understand what Tom said there?
  • Alanna
    he said "what about a flygel?"
  • I'm from Sweden, just like IKEA. ;) It was probably the word "flygel", that is the swedish word for a grand piano (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano#Grand). He didn't pronounce it right, though! But swedish is a hard language to pronounce if you're speaking English. ;)
  • guestt
    he said "frug" & he was refering to one of the products at ikea, which often have pretty weird names
  • char
    I think he said a "frugue?" I don't know how to spell it, but it started with an F and I don't think it was English.
  • pinoy_patty
    i thought tom did... but after i saw summer's engagement ring... i knew... she wasn't so sure about him... aaawwww.. there are just things we can't insist...
  • dudette143
    I think it was something like "she's better than my dream girl... because she's real."
  • marius
    yeah, I think thats the line..
  • imperfectmasterpiece
    Can anyone submit the quote by Paul? When he was talking about love and Robin his girlfriend? THanks!
  • Alexissosick
    " Robin is better then the girl in my dreams. She's real.
  • alyssamelody
    "I wouldn't say 'the girl of my dreams,' no. The girl of my dreams would have a bodacious rack. Probably different hair, could like sports a little more. But...truth is...Robyn's better than the girl of my dreams. You know why? Cause she's real."
  • Rosalyn
    At which part of the film does Paul say that? Is it the part where Tom goes to Summer's engagement party? I love this part of the film, but I don't know when the scene starts!
  • alyssamelody
    It's the scene where everyone describes their version of love. I believe it's right before the engagement party scene.
  • imperfectmasterpiece
    THanks so much :)
  • ♥ its love. not santa claus Ü
