Joan of Arcadia, Season One

Kevin:
So, I was in the "in" crowd. I just got to see the jerks closer up. Why do you think I spent so much time playing sports? I didn't like that social thing so much. People were mean, it was boring. I wanted to play my own game.

Joan:
Oh my god! Somebody just said that to me yesterday. About chess.

Kevin:
Well, it's the basic rule of any sport. Otherwise you're always on the defensive posture, always reacting to the other guy.

Joan:
You really weren't happy in high school? You really felt like a reject sometimes?

Kevin:
Everybody does. Even the ones who claim they don't. You-- you are going to find some people who totally get what a non-repulsive, sub-defective you are. Trust in yourself a little bit, you'll figure it out. And if you need me to roll over anyone, let me know.

Joan:
Sub-defective.
