we accept the love we think we deserve.

 

 

 

Charlie : Mr. Anderson? Can I ask you something?

Bill : Yeah.

Charlie : Why do nice people choose the wrong people to date?

Bill : Are we talking about anyone specific?

[Charlie nods]

Bill : Well, we accept the love we think we deserve.

Charlie : Can we make them know that they deserve more?

Bill : We can try.

 

Bill : You know, I heard you had a tough time last year. But they say if you make one friend on your first day you're doing okay.

Charlie : Thank you, sir, but if my English teacher is the only friend I make today, that would be sorta depressing.

Charlie : Did you have fun on your break?

Bill : More fun than you're gonna have today, Sinatra.

 

[Mr. Anderson hands Charlie a book]

Bill : Charlie. This was my favorite book growing up. This is my copy, but I want you to have it.

Charlie : [smiling] Thanks.

Bill : Have a great Christmas break.

Charlie : You, too, Mr. Anderson.
