• Mother : [She enters the kitchen, as she finishes dinner and hears crying]  Randy? Hi What's the matter? What you crying for?

  Randy : [Crying]  Daddy's gonna kill Ralphie!

  Mother : [Assuring him]  No, he's not...

  Randy : [Still upset]  Yes, he is too!

  Mother : [Assuring him]  No, he's not! I promise you, Daddy is not going to kill Ralphie!

• Schwartz : Hey, smart ass. I asked my old man about sticking your tongue to a flagpole in the winter, and he says that it'll freeze right to the pole, just like I told ya.

  Flick : Ah, baloney. What would your old man know about anything?

  Schwartz : He knows, because he once saw a guy stick his tongue to a railroad track on a bet, and the fire department had to come get the guy's tongue off the track, because he couldn't get it off.

  Randy : [is trying to catch up]  C'mon, guys! Wait up! C'mon, guys! Wait up!
