• Ernest P. Worrell : My motto is, "I never met a bad kid."

  State Supervisor : Then let me introduce you to some. These misfits were selected by their ward leaders as most in need of help.

  [they step over to the boys] 

  State Supervisor : This here's the ringleader, Bobby Wayne. He's been in and out of institutions like this since he was eleven.

  Bobby Wayne : Since I was nine.

  State Supervisor : And this here's Crutchfield. Twelve years old and already a master thief.

  Crutchfield : [Hands back Ernest's wallet]  It's like a... gift or something.

  Ernest P. Worrell : Well, thanks

  [takes the wallet] 

  State Supervisor : And here's Danny Simpson. He comes from a long line of troublemakers.

  Danny : It's a family tradition. I've got a reputation to uphold.

  State Supervisor : And the Albert Eeeeiiinstein of this institution, Chip Ooooozgood.

  Chip Ozgood : [Says nothing] 

  State Supervisor : [Shakes her head]  Butch Too Cool Vargas.

  Butch 'Bubba' Vargas : [Says nothing, looks at her contemptuously] 

• Butch 'Bubba' Vargas : Ernest, um... we've been thinking.

  Crutchfield : Yeah, we ain't got much of a chance but we got a plan.

  Bobby Wayne : If we stop those miners then there will be a Camp Kikakee.

  Ernest P. Worrell : Boys, we can't stop those miners, look what they did to me and that was just one of them.

  Chip Ozgood : Come on Ernest, that don't sound like no path of the brave to me.

  Moustafa 'Moose' Hakeem Jones : I don't want to go back to no institution, I want to stay right here with you.

  Bobby Wayne : Yeah we all do, Ernest.

  Chip Ozgood : Come on, Ernest, we can get them.

  Bobby Wayne : Hey, it's the path of the brave.

  Crutchfield : Let's go for it, we can do it, Ernest.

• Ernest P. Worrell : And then, he thought he heard it, and that's when Vernon turned around and looked in his rear window... and there, staring back at him was the hook man!

  [laughs sinsterly] 

  Ernest P. Worrell : So, he stomps on the gas, and he tore out of there, and the next day, Vernon went to get in his car, and there, hanging on the rear view mirror, was the hook!

  Crutchfield : I thought it was supposed to be on the door handle.

  Ernest P. Worrell : Well yeah it was, but then Vernon hung it on the rear view mirror like dice and baby shoes.

• Crutchfield : That sure was some rap Chief was putting on for us.

  Chip Ozgood : Do you think it's true?

  Bobby Wayne : Well you wouldn't catch me standing around letting some Indian throw knives at me.

  Crutchfield : Whack!
