Empire Records - A Moment of Heartfelt Confession and Regret
A.J.: [on the roof]
Hi, what're you doing up here?
Corey:
You listen to me! You're so special and you're so talented and you have everything it takes! You have MORE than everything it takes and you're REALLY stupid because you don't know that. And I know you don't love me anymore, and I know that I blew it but at least I know that, and if you don't go to art school and if you don't understand how special you are then you know nothing!
A.J.:
Corey, I...
Corey:
And I did love you, and I still... only I didn't realise that it really was love because it was more than love and it wasn't just some stupid feeling in my stomach like everything else and I'll never love anybody as much as you and I hate you! I hate you!
A.J.: [pause]
Corey, I quit. I quit! I'm going to art school, in Boston. So I can be near you.

A.J.:
Lucas, do you think it's possible for a person to be in love with someone else and not even know it?
Lucas:
In this life there are nothing but possibilities.
A.J.:
Well, that's good, because I have to tell Corey I love her by 1:37.
Lucas:
That's an excellent time.

Empire Records - Love Advice from a Troubled Mentor
A.J.:
Joe, I need to ask your advice. Now I know you know a lot about love and women and all that sort of thing...
Joe:
Oh, yeah, my wife left me for another woman and my girlfriend forced me to leave at gunpoint. Does this qualify me?
A.J.:
Oh yeah, definitely.
