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.
