Will Friedle: Eric Matthews

Quotes 

• Eric Matthews : You know what, Jack, I'm having trouble opening this jar.

  Jack Hunter : That's because it's a can.

• Eric Matthews : [to Shawn and Jack while holding a book]  All right, look. I'm glad you're both here. Listen to me. I've been reading a lot about this guy named Gandhi. Gandhi's an Indian. He's a Cherokee, I think, but it's not really what's important. Gandhi is a master at solving all conflicts peacefully. Now, the first thing we need to do is start a dialogue.

  [Shawn and Jack don't respond] 

  Eric Matthews : Okay, see, to have a dialogue, somebody has to talk.

  [reads from the book] 

  Eric Matthews : "Somebody has to talk." Yeah. So, who's gonna go first?

  Jack Hunter : [to Jack]  Oh, to hell with you, man.

  Eric Matthews : Now, see, that's good. Let's build from that.

  Shawn Hunter : To hell with you, too.

• Shawn Hunter : Eric, butt out!

  Eric Matthews : I can't butt out. I'm the peacemaker. That's why I was on both sides. Remember? Shh.

  Shawn Hunter : You weren't on anybody's side.

  Eric Matthews : What are you talking about? Everybody wanted me!

  Jack Hunter : No, nobody wanted you!

  Eric Matthews : What?

  Jack Hunter : Nobody wanted you on their team!

  [Eric sadly walks away and leaves the room] 

  Shawn Hunter : [to Jack]  What did you do that for?

  Jack Hunter : Don't tell me what to do, moron!

  [Shawn picks up his food and leaves the room too, leaving Jack sitting at the kitchen table alone]
