"I didn't want you to be this miserable." "A little bit's all I asked for." "Come on now." "Talk to him, Evelyn." "What are you doing?" "Hi, Kathy." "What did you do to yourself?" "Oh, I liked you better before." "What happened to your cornocello?" "Now you look like everybody else." "I am everybody else." "I mean..." "Listen, Kathy..." "Catherina!" "I feel terrible." "You sound funny." "Che cosa, Enrico?" "Tell me." "Look..." "Kathy, I..." "My name is Dave Stohler." "I made all that other stuff up." "I was born in Bloomington." "I went to Bloomington high." "I was treasurer of the Latin Club..." "Stop kidding around." "I'm not kidding around!" "See..." "I'm what you call a cutter." "Oh, and Napoli?" "And the big family?" "Well, it was a good act." "You..." "You certainly fooled me." "You know what you are?" "I got a clue." "I'll tell you what you are." "Oh, God!" "You..." "Dave." "Yes, Dad?" "I cut the stone for this building." "You did?" "Yeah." "I was one fýne stonecutter." "Mike's dad, Moocher's, Cyril's... all of us." "Well, Cyril's dad... never mind." "Thing of it was, I loved it." "I was young and slim and strong." "I was damn proud of my work." "And the buildings went up." "When they were fýnished, the damnedest thing happened." "It was like... the buildings was too good for us." "Nobody told us that." "Just..." "Just felt uncomfortable, that's all." "Even now, I..." "I'd like to be able to stroll through the campus and look at the limestone, but I just feel out of place." "You guys still go swimming in the quarries?" "Sure." "All you got to show for my 20 years of work is the holes we left behind." "I don't mind." "I do." "Cyril's dad says he took that college exam." "We both took it." "How did both of us do?" "Well, I don't know." "One of us did O.K." "But neither... of us..." "Hell, I... don't want to go to college, Dad!" "To hell with them!" "I'm proud of being a cutter." "You're not a cutter." "I'm a cutter." "What, are you afraid?" "Yeah." "A little bit." "And then there's the rest of the guys." "Well, you took the exam." "Did all right, didn't you?" "Yes." "Well, that's..." "That's good." "Well, your mom..." "Your mom will be expecting us home." "Come on." "I'm supposed to ride this thing?" "Well, that's the offýcial issue." "You can't add or change anything." "Well, it's a piece of junk!" "Hey, it's got a lot of personality to it." "It doesn't look that bad to me." "That's 'cause you don't have to ride it." "You don't have to ride." "We're not going to beg you." "We'll plead, but never beg." "The hell with it!" "Get off, Cyril." "At least we got invited." "I'll just take it back." "You seem relieved, Mike." "Don't you think we can win anymore?" "Why not?" "Maybe those guys are better than us." "That's the fýrst time you ever said that!" "That's the fýrst time I ever felt that." "All right." "Hello." "What are you doing here?" "I'm leaving soon." "Where are you going?" "I got a job in Chicago." "Moocher's dad got a job in Chicago." "He's, uh..." "I'm going to Italy after all with my parents." "Great, Kath." "I wish you a nice trip." "You, too." "I'm not going anywhere." "I don't know about that." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "If you eat so much, how come you're small?" "Oh, it's my metabolism." "I eat three times a day." "My metabolism eats fýve times a day." "Well, I go back to work tomorrow." "You won't watch us race?" "He thought he might bring you bad luck." "Well, I just have work to do, that's all." "Besides, there might be another metabolism to feed here." "We might be a father?" "No, I might be a father." "Your mom might be a mother." "You might be a brother." "That way, I keep it all in the family." "I didn't think people your age..." "The next word may be your last." "You must be very happy." "Do I have any choice?" "You were going to give a pep talk." "They don't need pep." "I need pep." "Go on, give it to them." "Uh, we thought..." "As long as you're out there, you might as well tell them who you are." "Right." "Oh, wow!"

"No way." "He wants off, man." "That's the signal." "He's coming in." "Here you go." "I don't want to race." "Get on the bike!" "It's ours now." "It's our race." "We got it." "Get going!" "No one is going." "The other riders are holding the bike." "Get out there, Mike!" "Get on the bike!" "The little guy's riding!" " You O.K.?" " What's the matter?" "What happened?"
