"That kiss was probably the most wonderful kiss I've ever" "What I meant to say was that, uh" " Your lip." " What?" " Your lip is swollen." " My lip?" " Yes." " Oh, my lip!" "Oh."

"First time we had to use one of these without an accident." "The class left 20 minutes ago." "Dean Richmond!" "Oh, hello, sir." "You caught me in the middle of an experiment I was doing." "I was trying to see how the students would respond to a teacher-Iess environment." "Teacher-Iess environment." "New field of research for you?" " Uh, yes, sir." " Interesting." "always thinking." "That's good, KIump." "Let me know your results." "would you mind explaining this?" "Oh!" "Yeah, well, um, my car's in the shop, so" "So you put a $47,000 luxury car on your faculty account." "initially, I" " I requested a Yugo, and this is all they had." "If it's all they had, it's all they had." "After all, men like us can't walk around now, can we?" "Hmm?" "Come on." "Oh, well, well." "I'm glad you're takin' it like that, sir." "I thought you was gonna get angry and start screamin'... and hollerin', and maybe even fire me." "Whoo!" "Oh, Sherman, Sherman." "In the end we know so little of each other, hmm?" "No, my friend, I've got bigger fish to fry." "I spoke to HarIan HartIey." "He's offering that tiny trinket that could save your entire research program." " Oh, yes." "absolutely." " I set up a meeting with him." "He wants to hear your grant proposal personally" " Friday, the Ritz, dinner, 8:00 sharp." "well, sir, I think that's a wonderful idea, sir." "absolutely." " And I promise you, I will not let you down." " I know you won't." "I know you're going to be there, and you're going to be great." " In fact, I know you're going to be perfect." " Do you know how I know?" " How's that?" "'Cause if you're not perfect, never mind the yelling and the screaming and the firing." "If anything goes wrong for any reason," "I'm going to kill you." "I don't mean that as a euphemism." "I'm going to literally kill you." "I'm going to strangle you and choke off your air supply... until you pass away." "Ooh, okay." "'TiI Friday, then." "It's a date." "Sir, this is incredible." "It's" " It's a complete metabolic transformation." "How did it happen?" " Was it an accident?" " No, I did it to myself, Jason." "You did?" "Why?" "If it was for the grant, the data with SheIIey was already so compelling." "well, I have compelling reasons of my own, Jason." "I have a case of infatuation of sorts with Miss Purty." "Professor, if you feel this way about carla, why don't you tell her?" "It'd be a Iot simpler than transforming into" "This guy's testosterone levels are right off the charts." "He was mean last night." "It was so unlike you." " You know, I did feel that." " Sir, you can't control him." "Jason, you have no idea what it feels like to be Buddy Love." "It's indescribable." "It's just wonderful!" "The way people talk to him and treat him, and the way she looks at him." "But he's dangerous." "He almost killed us last night." "We should be concentrating on getting the grant proposal to HarIan HartIey." "This is nuts!" "I guess you're right, Jason." "I never have behaved like this before." "But on the other hand," "I've never been in love before." "Ever." " Afternoon, carla." " Hi, Sherman." " How are you doing today?" " Pretty good." "I come over to see how things were going with you and Buddy." "I wish I knew." "We went out last night." "It was great." "We had such a wonderful time." "And then all of a sudden he runs out of the club." "He has some allergic reaction." " I don't even know if he's all right." " He's fine." "He told me that his lip swelled up, he put ice on it and the swelling came down." " Kinda strange, huh?" " well, did he even ask about me?" "Did he say why he didn't call me and let me know he was all right?" "carla, Buddy's kind of unreliable." "He's kind of what you call a ""here today, gone tomorrow"" kind of fellow." " Oh, I see." " Mm-hmm." "So he had you talk to me because he's not interested anymore." " No, it's nothing quite like that." " Look." "I know what it feels like to be brushed off, and it's okay." "This is all my fault." "I should've never encouraged you to go out with Buddy." "Sherman, you have been so sweet." "I'II just have to forget about him." "I'II see you later." "carla." "I was wonderin' if, uh," "I couId talk to you about you and I for a second." "I was" "I was wonderin' what you were doin' later, 'cause... the family gonna get together." "She made a meal and... we gonna be eatin', so I figured if you not doin' anything for dinner, we'd love to have you, if you want to come over for dinner." "We'd love to have you over for dinner." "I'd love to." " would you, now?" " Yes, I would." "should we call and make sure there's going to be enough food?" "I don't think that's going to be a problem." " There's nothing like being with family!" "I am hungry." "Come on now." " carla, where are you from?" " Chicago." " Oh, Chicago!" "We have family there." " Windy City, huh?" "I was workin' on a skyscraper in Chicago once and my lunch blew off the 27th floor." "Yeah, I figure your fat ass would remember somebody's sandwich fIyin' off a building." " Oh, baby, eat some bread." "Miss Purty, are you and Sherman havin' relations?" " That's a good question." " Uh, no, Grandma." "It's not Iike" " Iike that." "We're colleagues." " Oh." " We just work together." "That's how it start out- colleagues." "Me and your grandfather was colleagues." "Next thing you know he's on top of me in the shed, pumping' and a-sweatin'." " It's not Iike that." " will you hush up?" "You never brought a girl home." "The least you can do is let us talk to her." "Yeah, I'd Iike to get to know her a little better myself." "Ain't nothing wrong with havin' relations." "Don't be ashamed of that." "relations is beautiful." "When I was young I used to always have relations." "Every night, if a nice gentleman bring me flowers and candy, take me to a movie, show me a lovely evening', then I would take him home and give him hot, lovely relations." "relations is a beautiful thing." "It's nothing to be ashamed of." "especially two young people." " That bIowhoIe." " CIetus!" " Sometimes when I'm alone, I relate to myself." " I can relate." " Oh, Mama." " I don't wanna hear this shit while I'm eatin'." " CIetus!" " I'm gonna kill you later." " carla, do you Iike children?" " Yes." "Oh, that's wonderful." "I can't wait for Sherman to bring me home some grandbabies." "I know you're gonna enjoy making them babies." "Got those childbearing hips." " Baby'II pop right out." "Your family got any money?" "I ain't paying' for no big-ass wedding." "I know a wonderful minister." "What religious background are you?" "I still got my wedding dress." "If you want it, I'II take it in." "You'd look so lovely in it." "It's white, though." "Can you wear a white wedding dress, young lady?" "Now, Sherman, you can wear a white tuxedo." "'Cause you know Sherman" " Sherman has never had relations." "Mama, you gonna embarrass my baby." " I hope you got a strong back." " Oh, look at my baby bIushin'." "When you get all that man, and release all that that's been built up... for 35 years" "Just wanting' and wantin' and wanting'!" "Whoo!" "Might make your head blow off." "Pop goes the weasel!" "I got my own self hot tellin' that story." "Pop goes the weasel, 'cause the weasel say ""pop""!" "You gonna get married here or in Chicago?" "Do you cook?" "'Cause somebody's got to feed my Sherman." "Yeah, I know a wonderful church down there on Main Street, but they won't marry you if you're a lesbian." "Not that I have anything against lesbians." "I Iove lesbians." " Lesbians is cool." " There's nothing wrong with a little bingo." "A little cunnilingus ain't never hurt nobody." " Why is it the woman always gets the choice where they're gonna be married?" " Tradition." "Tradition, my ass!" "I ain't gonna pay for everybody fIyin' to no Chicago!" " You know how much plane tickets cost?" " You cheap bastard." "We're gonna have to drive down there." "I'm not driving over to Chicago." "* Sherman gonna have relations *" " My baby's not gettin' married" "There you go again, poppin' off gas in front of this lovely young lady." "We're trying to have a meal." "Put that brake on this gas." "I hope your ass turn into a frog." " Don't nobody want to hear your flatulence, CIetus KIump." "You're such a disgrace!" " I stopped holding my gas a Iong time ago." " You spoiled the dinner!" " Say one more word" " Listen, carla," "I want to apologize about my family back there." " I think they got the wrong idea about things." " Oh, no." "I should apologize." "I'm so sorry if I seemed distant tonight." "I still have Buddy on my mind." " You really care for Buddy, huh?" " I don't know." "I mean, on the outside, he seems so cocky and brash." "But when I Iook in his eyes, I see kindness, I see warmth." "And that's the side of Buddy I wanted to get to know." "I just got way ahead of myself." "And here I am, talking your ear off once again about Buddy." "No, it's quite all right, really." "Listen, carla, don't you worry about Buddy." "I'II find him for you." "Thank you, Sherman." "Thank you for being such a good friend to me." "A good friend." "Good night." "Good night." " Professor?" "Is that you?" "I just finished the grant proposal." "What's the matter with you?" "Never seen a brother wearing a circus tent before?" " black man can't go campin'?" " Now, wait a minute." "You" " You can't be you." "We agreed that you wouldn't do this." "Someone has to tend to chunky butt's sex life." "Chunky butt is extremely horny." "Excuse me." "But Professor KIump has a meeting tonight with HarIan HartIey at the Ritz." "I'm gonna be at the Ritz tonight, but it will not be in the interest of science." "No!" "I can't let you go." "Professor!" "If you're in there and you can hear me, come out!" "Professor, listen to me." "The testosterone levels are way too high." " You can't control him." " Oh!" "Jason!" " What?" "It's me, Sherman." "I'm talking to you from deep down inside Buddy Love." "Listen to me closely." "Go in the back room while I'm holding him..." " and get the coagulant serum off the back shelf!" " In the storage closet?" " Yes, Jason!" "Hurry, Jason!" " I got it!" " We don't have much time." "Let's move!" " I got it!" "Professor!" "Professor!" "I have an appointment with love!" "Good night, hamster boy!" " No, Professor!" """Sorry I haven't phoned, but I haven't been myself lately." """Join me for dinner." "Buddy Love." "P.S. I've enclosed a waIIet-sized photo for your enjoyment."" "Buddy, how can I stay mad at you?" "This is gorgeous!" "You're gorgeous and I'm gorgeous, so we should be in gorgeous surroundings." " Let me get the room key." " Wait." "hold it." "I didn't say anything about going to any room with you." "You said you were taking me to dinner." "What are you talking about?" "Oh, you think that" " Oh!" "Oh, my" " Hey, hey, hey." "slow down." "I just want to spend some time with you, by ourselves." "I don't want to share you with these people." "I want to eat, alone, quiet." "I would never disrespect you." "I'm a puppy dog." "please, can I go get this room?" " Yes?" " Yes." "I'd throw him in the river with a Buick tied to his neck." "He'd probably drag the car down." " Miss Purty." "Purty!" " Dean Richmond." "Have you seen Professor KIump?" "He's 40 minutes late." "If HarIan HartIey walks out that door, $10 million goes with him." "Oh, Lord." "I'm gonna have to lay down in front of his car." " Let's go." " Buddy, you know Sherman's research." "He's late for a meeting." "fill in for him." "No, it's a nice thought, but he'd have to know Sherman's research." "You know Sherman's research?" "Who are you?" "You might say I'm a visiting professor who might be staying for a while." " I do know Sherman's work." "In fact, I am Sherman's work." " Buddy!" "Do you think you can do KIump's job and crowbar that dough out of HartIey?" "There's not a job on this planet I can't do twice as good as Sherman." "Good." "follow me." "I'II go do this just 'cause you asked me, not 'cause of him." "You just stay put." "I've got to go be brilliant." "Look at your fine self." "I bet you have on a thong made of licorice, don't you?" "Excuse me." "AII righty!" "well, this had better be Professor KIump." "KIump?" "That fraud, that hack, that no-taIent." "No, sir, this is the man behind KIump's work, the real genius." "I give you Professor Buddy Love." "AII right, Professor Love." "You have one minute to show me your research." "No, you got it backwards, RockefeIIer." "You have one minute to listen." "May I borrow this?" "You haven't used it, have you?" "Don't want to get your boogers on my fingers." "Okay." "Here we go." "25N times C." "You have to excuse my handwriting." "I'm in a bit of a rush." " You have a pleasant evening." "Good night." " Uh, Professor Love, don't you think Mr. HartIey would Iike to know what that means in lay terms?" " Oh, you mean rich-dummy terms?" "I'II break it down for the rich dummies in the room." "Listen up." "If you eat nasty stuff like this" "I know it looks good, and some of y'aII like pork chops, but this greasy, nasty pork chop- there's a gene in your D.N.A.... that routes this straight to your fat cells, and it causes unsightly conditions." "The arm is taking on a gelatin sort of vibe." "It's quite nasty." "To my left, this gentleman has turkey neck." "To my immediate left, this woman is suffering from what we like to call..."

"Like I was saying, everybody, where there's a will, there's a way." "There is a way we can turn these genes off." "I'm not talking about using exercise or diet." "I'm talking about by taking a simple solution... that helps reconstruct your metabolic cellular strands, thus giving you the appearance of, in medical terms, gluteus minimus." "Or, in layman's terms, an extremely tight, wonderful ass." "Let's give a big round of applause for the woman with the nice ass." "Her ass is so nice, don't you agree?" "She's worked so hard." "Have a seat." "Oh, are these girls with you?" "Everyone has a nice ass at this table." "Is this the nice-ass section?" " Where'd you find this man?" " HarIan, it's an outrage." "I assure you he has no affiliation with this school." " He's brilliant." " exactly my point." "It's an outrage that his brilliance has no affiliation with this school." "That's why I found him and brought him to your money." "Attention." "Brought him to your attention." " My goodness, it is time to take my medication." " Professor!" "HartIey loved you." "He's going to be at the alumni ball tomorrow night." "If you can prove the formula works, the ten million is ours!" "What makes you so sure that the money is ours, instead of just being mine?" "You're good, Love." "Very good." "How'd you Iike to fill in for Professor KIump on a more permanent basis?" "That's what I had in mind." " He talked to me first." " Hey, I'm the one with the gluteus minimus." "will you guys just chill?" "He said he could handle all three of us." "With a name like Buddy Love, I bet he can." "carla, are you ready to go upstairs?" "I guess not." "Hey, wha" " Where ya goin'?" "What's your problem?" "They're my problem, and you can handle all three of them, huh?" "Oh, well, I thought after dinner you might want to have a little group activity." "After all, Buddy does have a Iot of love to give." "Oh, you are one sick, twisted freak!" "Oh, come on, carla."

"Sherman?" "Sherman, is that you?" "Are you all right?" "Oh, hi, carla." "Hi." " Did you have a party last night?" " Oh, no." "My cIeanin' lady's, uh- CIeanin' lady's sick, so I got to clean up myself." "I see." "You sure she didn't die?" "Oh." "Look, I'm a little embarrassed about the way how my place is lookin'." " Why don't I clean up and get back at you later?" " No, no, no." "Sherman, I need to talk to you now." " It's about Buddy." " He hasn't been misbehaving', has he?" "He's an egotistical pig, and I wish I never met him." "But, Sherman, I owe you a very big apology." " You owe me an apology?" " Yes." "Last night- I was only trying to help" "I insisted that Buddy Love speak to HarIan HartIey." "He took all the credit for your research." " Now Dean Richmond" " Where's Buddy?" " Oh" " Buddy came here?" " No!" " So what's this?" " Are you guys- You guys share girls?" " Oh, no, no, no, no." " I guess I was next on the list." " No, you don't understand."

"Jason, I have such a bad hangover," "I honestly do not remember." "well, the good news is I'm not going to kill you, not physically, anyway." "I am, however, going to kill you professionally." "You're not only fired from this institution, but I'm going to make sure you never get hired by any other college in the state, the country, the world, maybe even the universe." "unless, of course, they're looking for teachers on planet Fat." "Oh, by the way," "Buddy Love is going to be using your invitation to the alumni ball, so show a little school spirit and see that he gets it." "* We're in the money ** Put that food down!"

"Let me talk to you." "If you're receiving' this message, that means you went and plumped back up... to your usual, fat, sorry, stuff-my-face- 'tiI-I'm-aImost-dead self." "Is that what you did?" "Shame on you, Sherman!" "Do you know what you did last night?" "You had the time of your life." "Do you know you can get arrested in 50 states for the shit you did just last night?" " Oh, my goodness!" " You know what you need to do?" "You need to go down to the laboratory and mix up another batch of this blue stuff." "Come on back to the party, Sherman, because carla doesn't want you." "She wants me." "Me, not you." "So come join me, because you can't beat me." "You can't beat me." "You can't beat me!" "Yes, I can!" " Yes, I can." "Professor, I got your message." "What's up?" "I'm goin' to that alumni ball tonight, and I'm gonna reclaim my Iife." "Yes!" "I'm so glad to hear you say that." "Get things straight with Miss Purty," " and I'm gonna get that grant from HarIan HartIey." " excellent." "Jason, we have seen the Iast of Buddy Love." "Horace, good to see you." "The jitterbug contest just started." "I'm kidding, I'm kidding." "Your table's upstairs." "That's another joke." "Ha-ha-ha-ha!" "When did you marry Sharon Stone?" "Keep those legs crossed." "Ha-ha-ha-ha!" "HartIey!" "Damn it!" "And where the hell is Buddy Love?" " No sign of him yet, sir." " Here's an idea." " Find him!" " Yes, sir!" " HarIan." " well, Richmond." "Where's your Professor Buddy Love?" "Oh, with you it's always business." "Let's get to know each other man-to-man." "Now, if our files are correct, you and your fabulous wife have a terrific daughter." "I'm divorced, and my daughter is in rehab." "So you're saying our files are not correct." "Listen, you pompous butt-kisser." "I have a check in my pocket for $10 million." "Your Buddy Love has 'til midnight to prove that formula works." "He'II be here, the formula works, and you have the check." "really?" "On you now?" "Because on behalf of" " Which pocket?" "No, don't tell me." "Let me smell it." "Punch?" "Oh, come on now." "Look at this." "I can't eat this." "This stuff is too tiny." "I can't get full off this mess!" "I think it's wonderful, all the precious little finger foods." "Finger food?" "I got a finger for 'em." "I ain't paid no hundred-doIIar ticket for no finger food." "I couId go down to Subway, get me a sandwich for three dollars." "I gotta pay a hundred-doIIar ticket for finger food?" "You must be crazy to think I'm gonna eat this" " You're getting on my damn nerves!" "Shut up!" " I'm hungry!" "There's carla." "I wonder if she's seen Sherman." "carla!" "carla." "Oh." "Oh, oh!" " Oh, you look fabulous." " Thank you, Mrs. KIump." " Have you seen Sherman?" " Yeah, where's Sherman at?" "I ain't come to pay no hundred-doIIar ticket to suffer this alone." " CIetus, shut up, please!" " Hey!" "That's strike two." "I don't think Sherman will be coming tonight." "Yes, he is." "Sherman called me and told me make sure we was here." "He got a big announcement to make- something about gettin' it all off his chest." "Have you noticed that Sherman's been acting kind of strange lately?" "Sherman has definitely been acting strange lately." "I knew it!" "See, CIetus?" "I told you." "You really think I be listenin' to you." "I ain't Iistenin' to you!" "well, Mrs. KIump, I hope you have a wonderful evening." "Oh, you do the same." "Thank you so much." "So precious." "Look at your little purple dress." "They gonna think we twins." " Mr. KIump." " Oh, yeah, yeah." " fabulous." "You know, CIetus, I think something's goin' on between her and Sherman." "You don't go get up in Sherman's business." "That's Sherman's business." "Sherman's business?" "That's my business." "Sherman is my baby." "Sherman's 35 years old!" "What you talkin' about he's your baby?" " I don't wanna hear it." "Shut up, please!" "carla!" " That's strike three, damn it!" "Don't you walk away from me, goddamn it!" "Hey, this is the Iast of it, Professor." "I'II tell you this, Jason." "If I'm gonna change my Iife, it's not gonna come from some magic drink." "Gotta come from a Iot of hard work and exercise and plenty of these." "Good-bye, Buddy Love." "hello, Megashake." "Professor?" "Oh!" "I lost 300 pounds in 30 seconds!" " Thanks, Megashake!" " You tricked him!" "You damn right, hamster boy." "I knew Sherman was gonna go soft on me." "That can wreak havoc on a man's sex life." "See, I've done some calculations of my own." "If I drink 500 milliliters of formula," "I'II have enough cellular stability to be rid of Sherman's ass forever!" "You drink that much formula at one time and it will kill you!" "If I drink it all at once, yes." "If I drink half now and half later, that's safe." "At midnight, I don't have to worry about turning into no KIumpkin." "If you don't mind, I have a date at the alumni ball, and you have a date with linoleum." "Who?" "No, no, no, child." "Not a wild party." "Not Sherman." "He's too shy for something like that." "He hates parties." "In fact, we tried to have a party for Sherman when he was 18 years old... and he's so shy, he didn't even show up." "well, I must admit, it didn't seem like the Sherman I knew." "Oh, no, not my baby." "Maybe he loaned his house out to somebody..." " or one of his buddies was throwin' a party." " Yeah!" "Is that a test tube in my pocket?" "Or am I just happy to see you?" " Oh!" "How dare you?" " Oh, you know you loved it." " I felt you percoIatin'." "Whoo!" "Hey, thanks a Iot, man." "Thank you so much." "Oh!" "What you serving' here?" "This stuff is na" " Y'aII got to get some collard greens and yams!" " Some red beans and rice!" " Some ""Buddy"" is right." " This ain't no party!" "This ain't no ball!" " Dr. Love!" "Y'aII gotta get y'aII some peach cobbler up in here!" "Dr. Love!" "Where the hell have you been?" "I've been nursemaiding HartIey for three hours, and if I didn't need that money" "Shut up!" "Who you think you're talkin' to, Sherman KIump?" "Man, if you ever talk to me like that again, I'II kill ya!" "I don't mean that as a euphemism." "I mean I'm gonna literally kill ya." "I'm gonna strangle you and cut off your air supply until you pass away!" "Now find the rich dummy a seat." "It's show time." "It's show time, everybody!" "Show time!" "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God!" "That's enough out of you!" "That's it." "You're the reason everybody faIIin' asleep." "Take a break, Nigger-ace." "Take the everly Brothers with you." "Get outta here!" "Look at everybody sIeepin' because of y'aII!" "It's show time!" "Whoo!" "Now why are y'aII Iookin' at me like y'aII don't know me?" " Y'aII know me!" " I don't know that fool." "How 'bout now?" "You recognize me?" " I don't know that fool." " Maybe it's because... this morning I weighed 400 pounds!" "You should've seen me." "Look at me now." "You know how I did it?" "One sip." "I know why he like that, 'cause he drunk." " Be quiet!" " Don't tell me to be quiet!" "He drunk!" "I Iike to call it ""Buddy's Wonder Tonic.""" "I know what wonder tonic you had." " Right on schedule." "cellular destabiIization due to arrive in exactly three," " two, one" " Ain't that a bitch!" " What the hell?" " My goodness!" "Hey, moneybags, you want a demonstration?" "well, then feast your eyes on this." "That's a hell of a trick." " Ladies and gentlemen, for my final demonstration" "Look out, David copperfield." "I'm about to make a 400-pound fat man... disappear forever!" "No!" "Wait!" "I cannot let you do this anymore!" "This has got to stop!" "This man is trying to kill Professor Sherman KIump!" "That's it." "I'm glad I brought my knife." "Mm-hmm." "And I got my razor." " Hand over the vial now!" " Oh, sure thing, hamster boy." "But first, a short musical interlude." " Buddy!" "What has gotten into you, and where is Sherman?" "Sherman is gone!" " Disappeared!" " What the hell" "And that's a pretty good trick for a man with an ass as big as his." " Oh!" "I'm late for an appointment." "Ladies and gentlemen, say good-bye to Sherman KIump!" "I hate being called hamster boy." " Ahhh!" "You just don't know when to quit, do you?" "It's too late, fat boy." "It's over!" "Let go!" "Let go!" " My goodness!" " Damn!" "Give it up, fat boy!" "It's over!" "It ain't over 'til the fat professor sings!" " Let go of my hand, you fat mother" "Say one more word, Buddy, I'II tear your arm off!" "It's time... we take..." "Nestea... pIunge!" "Whoo!" " Gonna get the hell outta here in a second." "It's okay." "Ah!" " Ahhh!" " Sweet Jesus!" " Sherman!" " Sherman, don't do this!" "You need me!" "No, I don't!" "You fat ass!" "tinkerbell!" " BIubber butt!" " Featherweight!" "Somebody better call an exorcist!" "Sherman!" "Sherman!" "You can't beat me!" "This is some scary shit!" "Yes, I can!" " Ooh!" " Sherman, come back here!" "Sherman!" " What's happening to me?" "Everything's getting real dark!" "Oh!" "I feel real jiggIy!" "I'm bIubbifying!" "Sherman!" "You need me!" "I taught you to be confident!" "You needed me, Sherman!" "Sherman!" "No matter what" "No matter what, ya got to strut." "I ain't gonna be pickin' up your big ass all night, Anna." "Shit." " Oh, my God." " well, I'II be damned." "If you give me a moment, I believe I can try to explain." "My research is, uh" "well, uh, when I started out I wa" "I wanted to help people." "But I became desperate and selfish." "What I did was wrong." "Buddy's who I thought the whole world wanted me to be." "He's who I thought I wanted to be." "And sometimes when you want something so, so bad, you do just about anything to get it." "But I Iearned one thing from Buddy." "I Iearned that life is not about... bein' happy about how much you weigh, but just bein' happy with yourself." "I'm terribly sorry about all this." "I hope I haven't ruined everybody's evening'." "please excuse me." "I'm sorry." "Sherman!" "Sherman!" "Sherman, wait a minute." "Sherman, why did you lie to me?" "Why didn't you say anything?" "I didn't think you'd have me." "I mean, the fact of the matter is I'm a big man." "Now, I will lose weight, but I'm always gonna be big no matter what I do." "So, anybody I wind up with is just goin' to have to accept me for who I am." "And more important, I'm just going to have to accept myself for who I am." "Sherman," "I don't have a date tonight." "would you Iike to dance with me?" " Professor." " I thought you might need this." " Yeah, I guess I tore this one up, huh?" " You know one thing I couldn't stand about that Buddy?" " What's that?" " He was too damn scrawny." "Okay, Professor!" "Lookin' good!" " Have I mentioned we also have a terrific english Department?" " I'm giving him the grant." " What?" " I hate to admit it, but you're absolutely right." " He's a brilliant scientist and a gentleman as well." " well, I told ya!" " will you shut up!" " I'm fine with that." "Ooh!" "Sherman, Sherman, Sherman, Sherman, Sherman, Sherman, Sherman!" " Light as a feather tonight." "Come on." "Bump me." " Whoo, yeah!" "Oh, oh, my goodness!" "I'm so sorry." "I'm sorry." " You didn't hurt yourself, did you?" " I'm fine." " Yeah!" " fabulous!"
