Quotes
-
Aunt Maria : Do you know what this is? It's a letter from your school. You've been expelled. It says you broke into another kid's locker!
Pete Turner : One of the other gangs set me up.
Aunt Maria : Ever since you were arrested, you've been blaming other people.
Pete Turner : I didn't do anything wrong this time.
Aunt Maria : Well, what you did do was pick the wrong friends, and ever since then you've been getting into trouble!
Pete Turner : I'll stop hanging out with them.
Aunt Maria : You've told me that before. I asked you here because I thought you'd be a good example for my children. Now all they talk about is being in a gang like you.
Pete Turner : I'll do better.
Aunt Maria : Help me to the curb with this.
Pete Turner : Where we going?
Aunt Maria : You're catching the bus back home.
-
Scott Carpenter : We just saved you!
Pete Turner : Saved me? What did you save me from? I set the whole thing up to get money to go back to Chicago!
Scott Carpenter : I don't believe that! Why?
Pete Turner : You ruined everything!
-
Pete Turner : Give me your money, old man! Open it up, come on!
Mr. Graff, the store manager : All right, Pete, if you need money, I'll give you some.
Pete Turner : Don't you get it? You're being robbed here!
Mr. Graff, the store manager : Well, I know that's what you're trying to do, Pete, but if I give you the money, then you're not robbing me. Here's two hundred and seventy-four dollars. Is that enough?
Pete Turner : You're as crazy as Scott! This whole town's crazy!
-
Pete Turner : You better back off, Scott, or I'm gonna swing you upside the head! You're not gonna touch me!
Scott Carpenter : You're right, I'm not. I just want to know what you really want. I've done everything I know to show that I accept you for who you are. You're my friend no matter what you do. I've tried to show you that. Pete, what do you really want?
Pete Turner : I want you to hate me!
Scott Carpenter : Hate you? Why?
Pete Turner : Because I hate myself!
-
Pete Turner : My aunt's alone with two little boys. I gotta go help her out. I'm a ButterCreamer, right?
Lanny : Yeah!
Eldon Flowers : You know it!
Pete Turner : Besides, it's the closest I may ever get to having a real mom. And she does make spaghetti with ketchup. Now, in my last official act as President, I would like to nominate Scott to be President of the ButterCreamers in my absence.
Scott Carpenter : Why do you want to nominate me?
Pete Turner : All in favor say aye?
Lanny , Eldon Flowers : Aye!
-
Pete Turner : Hey, Aunt Maria.
Aunt Maria : Well, hey, Pete. How'd you do in school today?
Pete Turner : Fantastic. Got an A on the old history report.
Aunt Maria : Pete, that's great. You know, if your parents were alive, they'd be so proud of you. Oh, you got a letter from Scott today. He's your friend, right?
Pete Turner : Yeah, he's the best.
-
Scott Carpenter : Wow, you look different.
Pete Turner : So do you, man, but that's cool.
Scott Carpenter : When did you get back?
Pete Turner : Just now. Hey, how'd you guys even know I was in town?
Scott Carpenter : We didn't.
Eldon Flowers : We saw your grandfather yesterday, and he spaced out when we asked how you were doing.
Lanny : We thought something might be wrong.
Scott Carpenter : How come you didn't write?
-
Mr. Graff, the store manager : Why, Pete Turner, I almost didn't recognize you!
Pete Turner : Actually, I've changed my name to Pete Valdez. That was my mom's name.
Mr. Graff, the store manager : Well, Pete Valdez, I can tell you've been to the big city.
-
Pete Turner : I picked up a lot of bad habits back in Chicago. But hanging out with you's helping. It's helping a lot.
-
Scott Carpenter : Pete, the ButterCreamers had a meeting. If you don't start doing your share of the work, you're out.
Pete Turner : Okay, I make it unanimous. There, I'm out.
Scott Carpenter : Don't you want to talk about it?
Pete Turner : Smarten up! This is my gang now! I don't want anything to do with your stupid club! Me and these guys, we can have anything we want just by taking it, so you, your geek girlfriend, and everybody else just better stay out of my way!
-
Pete Turner : You and your two buddies over there better watch out!
Scott Carpenter : No, you watch out!
Pete Turner : I'm warning you!
Scott Carpenter : You best stop what you're doing!
Pete Turner : Who's gonna stop me? You and the two stooges? I don't think so.
Scott Carpenter : If we have to.
Pete Turner : Oh, big talk, Scott. I'm real scared.
Scott Carpenter : Yeah, well, this time it's not talk.
Pete Turner : Are you threatening me? Is that a threat?
Scott Carpenter : No, that's a promise.
-
Pete Turner : I came here to fight.
Scott Carpenter : I think there's a better way.
Pete Turner : Sounds to me like an excuse not to fight.
Scott Carpenter : I'm here, aren't I? I'm not afraid of you.
Pete Turner : Yeah, well, maybe you should be. I learned a lot back there in Chicago.
Scott Carpenter : Maybe not enough.
Pete Turner : What's that supposed to mean?
Scott Carpenter : What you learned in Chicago is how to fight.
Pete Turner : What else is there?
Scott Carpenter : Courage.
Pete Turner : I ain't afraid of nothing.
Scott Carpenter : All right, then, I challenge you to spend the whole day with me tomorrow, just like we did last summer. If you've got the guts.
-
Scott Carpenter : Well, you did it again.
Pete Turner : What'd I do now?
Scott Carpenter : Made me relax and forget all my worries.
Pete Turner : What worries?
Scott Carpenter : Our big championship game tomorrow. I completely forgot about it.
Pete Turner : Except it's not like old times, is it?
Scott Carpenter : It could be.
Pete Turner : I don't think so.
Scott Carpenter : Why not?
Pete Turner : Because things change. People change.
Scott Carpenter : They don't have to.
Pete Turner : They already have.
Scott Carpenter : But look at you and me now. It's just like old times, isn't it?
Pete Turner : Except that what you're really trying to do is safe me from myself, and I already know it's too late.
Scott Carpenter : It is not. Today proves it.
Pete Turner : No, the only thing today proves is that we *were* friends.
Scott Carpenter : What do you mean?
Pete Turner : Sometimes I want so bad for things to be the way they were! But they can't!
Scott Carpenter : But why not?
Pete Turner : They can't! It's like you're riding your bike somewhere, and you get lost. You try to go back and figure out where you made the wrong turn, but you don't know where you made the wrong turn, and every turn you make just gets you more and more lost.
-
Pete Turner : You never once asked me what happened to me in Chicago! You never once asked me!
-
Pete Turner : Just remember, in my neck of the woods, there are only two kinds of people, your friends and your enemies.
Scott Carpenter : Is that a threat?
Pete Turner : No, that's a promise.
-
Scott Carpenter : You turned out to be so selfish.
Pete Turner : What makes you think I'm being selfish?
Scott Carpenter : You take things, and you only think of yourself.
Pete Turner : I only take what I deserve! I spent hours helping people like Mr. Graff and never got anything in return. I've done plenty for this crummy little town, and what did I get for it? Nothing! No, Scott, I think you're the one being selfish!
Scott Carpenter : Me?
Pete Turner : Yeah, you! Real friends accept each other for who they are, but you're only willing to be my friend if I change. I'm not who I was, Scott, I am who I am!
Scott Carpenter : That's garbage! You chose who you are! I'm trying to be your friend, so don't accuse me of being selfish!
