• Quint : [to Ronald]  Oh, Return of the Living Dred.

  Ronald Miller : [walks over with a bat]  Why don't you lay off?

  Quint : Why don't you go back where you belong, hose head.

  Ronald Miller : Take your hands off Kenneth or I'll break your arm. Your pitching arm.

  Quint : Oh yeah? Don't make me laugh, lawn boy.

  Ronald Miller : Let go. NOW!

  [slams the table with the bat] 

  Quint : [Let's Kenneth go] 

  Ronald Miller : You broke your arm once before, remember? You fell out of our tree house. Kenneth picked you up and we carried you 12 blocks to the hospital.

  Kenneth Wurman : Yeah, you cried all the way.

  Ronald Miller : We were all friends then, remember? And now you want to end his life because he's talking to Patty on your side of the cafeteria. Oh man, that's stupid. I know cuz that's where I wanted to be. On your side, with your crowd. But I messed up. See, I tried to buy my way in. But Kenneth, he's not trying to buy anybody. He's just trying to make friends *being* *himself*. Cools, Nerds, your side, my side, man it's all bullshit. It's just tough enough to be yourself.

• Ronald Miller : I just think it would be more fun to party with those guys our senior year... go to the games...

  Kenneth Wurman : We go to ALL the games.

  Ronald Miller : We sit in the visiting section Kenneth... at our own school.

• Kenneth Wurman : Look, It's the African ant eater ritual!

• Kenneth Wurman : Why would you be thinking about them? They're certainly not conscious of us.

• Ronald Miller : We do have a lot of great memories but be honest... wouldn't you like to be popular?

  Kenneth Wurman : And have to be in a clique... no.

  Ronald Miller : What happened to us? We were all friends in elementary.

  Kenneth Wurman : That's because we were all forced to be in the same room together. But, hey, Junior high, high school. Forget it. Jocks became Jocks. Cheerleaders became cheerleaders. We became us. I like us.

• Kenneth Wurman : You got a crush on Cindy? Well, most living organisms do, but she's way out of our league.

• Kenneth Wurman : [pointing to Ronald]  Hey, it could be worse. We could be alone like that poor guy.
