(Cut to where Riley is talking to Forrest in thier dorm, and he's throwing a frizbee back and forth between another guy.)

RILEY: So she says, "you teach human behavior. Maybe you ought to show some."

FORREST: Oh, you're lying. She says that to Walsh?

RILEY: Hope to die.

FORREST: Doesn't lack for guts. You've got to give her that.

RILEY: Yeah, but she's nuts.

FORREST: Oh, come on. Like you never wanted to tell the professor off? Hey, Parker!

PARKER: Forrest. What's up, man?

FORREST: What's the scoop on Buffy Summers? Is she cool?

PARKER: Buffy? Yeah, she's all right, I guess. I mean, kind of whiney.

FORREST: How's that?

PARKER: Well, you know, clingy. I mean, we got a little physical-- Uh, well, fully physical, and then she's all over me, you know, like we're betrothed or something.

FORREST: No, but fun was had, yeah?

PARKER: [Laughs] oh, yeah. The word is stamina. I mean, definitely a bunny in the sack, but later on, well. You know the difference between a freshman girl and a toilet seat? A toilet seat doesn't follow you around after you use it.

(Riely decks Parker who hits the floor. Cut to a bit later, Riley, Forrest and Graham are walking away)

RILEY: I can't believe that I did that.

FORREST: Welcome to the club. Do you have any idea how much trouble you could have gotten into? If Parker reported you--

GRAHAM: He won't, he's too embarrassed.

RILEY: I hit him.

FORREST: What the hell for?

RILEY: He--he was just being so crude.

FORREST: Please. You've heard me say much grosser things than that.

RILEY: And most of those are about your own mother.

FORREST: What is it?

RILEY: I just didn't like hearing him...

(he pauses thoughtfully)

RILEY: ... talk about Buffy that way. I think I... Well, I guess I like her.

FORREST: You're kind of like a moron.

RILEY: So, you... You knew that I had feelings for her?

FORREST: Everybody knows, man. Oh, she's peculiar? Dead giveaway, buddy.

RILEY: I'm always the last to know.

FORREST: So, whatcha gonna do?

RILEY: Well, I guess I'm gonna go see a girl.
