[Lucas quietly joins the kids in the cafeteria, sad over the distance between him and Maggie]
Ben : [Ben shouts out to Lucas] Lucas! We're over here.
Ben : Sit down. We're trying to figure out how to get rid of this jackass band teacher. I hate the idiot's guts.
Tonto : Too bad Treichel had to kill himself.
Ben : Yeah, Why'd he have to kill himself and leave us with this jackass.
Tonto : Sex-crazed, that's why.
Rena : He wasn't sex-crazed, he was in love.
Tonto : With a dental technician?
Rena : Not everybody has to be glamorous to have someone fall in love with them.
Tonto : You don't kill yourself over a dental technician.
Rena : You ever hear of Romeo and Juliet?
Tonto : Was she a dental technician?
Rena : No, but people do kill themselves when they can't have who they love.
Ben : I thought he had a heart attack.
Tonto : No heart attack, my man. He blew his brains out with a book of poetry open and a rose in the page.
Rena : I think it's kind of beautiful, the poetry, I mean. It was probably Keats or Shelley.

Bruno : [Lucas returns to school and a few of the football players and Lucas's closest friends wait for him in the hallway of his locker] Here he is.
[Lucas opens his locker to find a football jacket with the name Lucas on it, as everyone begins to clap in unison]
Maggie : Try it on, Lucas!
Kid in Hallway : Try it on, Luke!
Bruno : [Lucas puts on the jacket] All right, Lucas!
Ben : [Ben films Lucas on his camera] All right, Lucas! Way to go!
Kids in Hallway : [the students all begin to cheer the name Lucas] Lucas! Lucas! Lucas! Lucas! Lucas! Lucas!
Bruno : All right!

[Lucas and Ben stand up to Bruno in the theater lobby]
Cappie : Hey, what's going on?
Bruno : Hey, this kid is mouthing off to me.
Cappie : Come on, let's go.
Bruno : Hey, wait a second.
Cappie : Hey, what's the point?
Bruno : Hey, I'm kidding around, and this fat little marshmallow opens his mouth to me.
Cappie : Don't worry about it. Let's go see a movie.
Bruno : You better watch your mouth fat boy.
[grabs Lucas by the neck]
Bruno : Learn to be like Lucas here, he's smart, not like you.
Ben : He's scared, not like me.
Bruno : Oh, yeah?
Ben : Yeah.
Bruno : You know, you're asking for it.
Lucas : Well, so are you!
Bruno : What'd you say?
Lucas : You heard me.
Bruno : You know, maybe you boys would like to step outside.
Angie : Bruno, let's go.
Bruno : No, I think I have to settle this.
Angie : Well, I came to see a movie.
Cappie : So did I.
Lucas : [Lucas gets in Bruno's face] Yeah, but not King Kong.
Cappie : Come on, settle down.
Angie : No fights, I mean it.
Cappie : I'd listen to the lady.
