• Lee : He won't die!

  Billy : You are such a pussy.

  Lee : ...He's stronger than he looks!

  Billy : [laughs towards Lee] 

  Lee : You do it then!

  Billy : No fucking way, Lee!

  Billy : [Hands Lee his pocket knife]  Here. Take it.

  Lee : What if he tries to grab the knife away from me, or something?

  Billy : I don't know, just fucking stab him really quick...

  Lee : Like where?

  Billy : Stab him in the fucking stomach, I don't know!

  Lee : He's going to bleed all over the floor, Billy!

  Billy : Who fucking cares! Do it!

  Lee : [Interrupting]  Shut up!

  Billy : Come you little pussy! Do it, you bitch!

  Lee : ...Don't push me!

  Billy : Stab him! Fucking kill him!

  [Lee lunges toward Charley] 

  Charley Bratley : Ow!

  Billy : Oh, shit...

  Charley Bratley : You stabbed me in the stomach!

  Lee : I did it! I did it Billy...

  Billy : ...Is it deep?

  Lee : Is it deep, Charley?

  Charley Bratley : [pauses]  Fuck you!

• Crystal Falls : [Sitting on a bench overlooking the neighbourhood]  How old are you?

  Charley Bratley : Thirteen.

  Crystal Falls : Then why are you so small?

  Charley Bratley : I don't know. Just am... My dad put me on this bulk 2000 for a while, this powder stuff? It ended up costing him $400, but after a couple of weeks, I got really bad diarrhea. I ended up losing, like, eight pounds. My dad went ballistic.

  [Crystal and Charlie both laugh together. Charlie takes a puff of a cigarette and coughs] 

  Crystal Falls : You don't smoke, do you?

  Charley Bratley : Sure... Well, no.

  Crystal Falls : Well here's a secret...

  Crystal Falls : [Takes the cigarette from Charlie]  Don't act like somebody you're not. You do that long enough, you'll forget you were acting. And so will everyone else.

• Mr. Peck : Who's the kid?

  Billy : Charley.

  Mr. Peck : Damn, you're teeny-tiny.

  Billy : I'm holding him for ransom.

  Mr. Peck : Oh...

  Charley Bratley : Yeah, I should probably get home. My mom's getting married tomorrow.

  Mr. Peck : I was married once. Problem was my wife never really understood me... she even said that. "I don't understand you." What do you suppose that means? Makes no sense to me.

  Billy : ...Okay, dad.

• Charley Bratley : So, who are you guys calling?

  Lee : Your brother.

  Charley Bratley : Who?

  Lee : Your brother, Dean.

  Charley Bratley : I don't have no brother.

  Lee : [pauses]  ... Charlie Stiffle?

  Charley Bratley : [Shakes his head]  Charley Bratley.
