" [Panting] I need to talk to you." " Fine." "Every time I called, you were either taking a bath, washing your hair." "Or you were out of the country." "That was a good one, by the way." "I tried to get you alone at school, but I got a month's detention." "Yeah, you're very big in bathrooms, aren't you?" "Cindy, Just hear me out." "And then I'll leave you alone." "Okay?" "Oh!" "You t..." "You demolished me New Year's Eve." "But see..." "I realize you did me a favor." "You brought me back to reality." "All I ever wanted to do was get close to you."

"J-Just, uh, take your time and follow the steps." " Okay." "Kenneth Worm-man is trying to pull a Ronald McDonald Miller scam on us." " He's probably trying to pay her off." " Relax, man." "He's harmless." "I'm sending him back to the minor leagues." " Be cool, man." " Hey, calm down." "Oh, man." "He's gonna make a fool of himself." " Hey, what do you think you're doing over here, twimp?" " H-Helping her with some math." " No, bullshit." "You're trying to pull a Ronald Miller scam." " A what?"

"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." "Yeah, you cried all the way." "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, 'cause 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."
