場景1:

艾倫:我不幹了。

埃米特:為什麼啊?

艾倫:上法學院是個錯誤,當實習生也是個錯誤!

埃米特:你在說什麼呢?這一切都是你努力爭取來的。

艾倫:我什麼也沒有爭取。卡拉漢教授給我這個實習機會隻不過是看我長得好看,昨天他對我動手動腳的時候說得非常清楚。

埃米特:卡拉漢幹什麼了?

艾倫:算了吧,我要回洛杉磯了,不用再穿這種單調的服裝了,不用再穿連褲襪了,不必再裝了。

埃米特:可萬一那恰恰是你想要成為的那種人呢?讓卡拉漢見鬼去吧,別走,留下來。

艾倫:來加州的話給我打電話。

場景2:

院長:女士們,先生們!現在,我隆重地向大家介紹2004級哈佛法學院的畢業生。我非常榮幸地介紹本年度由學生選出的致辭代表,她在哈佛的開始非常有趣。畢業後她將獲邀加入波士頓一家最有聲望的律師行。我相信她會幹得非常出色。女士們,先生們,歡迎艾倫·伍茲小姐上台!

艾倫:我們第一天到哈佛的時候,一位賢明的教授引用了亞裏士多德的名言:“法律是排除激情的理性。”亞裏士多德,恕我冒犯,但是我在哈佛三年的求學生涯中卻發現:激情是學習和實踐法律不可或缺的要素,同時也是生命中不可或缺的要素。要有激情,敢於堅持按照自己的信念做事兒,要有強烈的自我意識,這樣我們才能步入社會。提醒大家,第一印象並不總是正確的。始終保持對他人的信心,最重要的是,對自己要有信心。祝賀2004級的畢業生們,我們畢業了!
