'''Holden (Ben Affleck):''' No, but it's Miramax. So I'm sure it'll be Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. They put those guys in a bunch of movies.
'''Jay:''' Who?
'''Holden:''' You know, those kids from ''[[Good Will Hunting]]''?
'''Jay:''' You mean that fuckin' movie with [[Robin Williams|Mork from Ork]] in it?<br />
'''Holden:''' Yeah, I wasn't a big fan either... but Affleck was the bomb in ''[[Phantoms]]''.<br />
