Quotes 

• Off. Doug Penhall : Studs and leather, here I come. KKK - awesome band.

  Off. Tom Hanson #2 : Band?

  Off. Doug Penhall : KKK- Klean Kut Kids. It's a band. It's a gang. It's a floorwax. You gotta keep up with the popular culture, Hanson.

  Captain Adam Fuller : Sorry, Penhall. They're not gonna buy two of you. one of you goes in hardcore, the other's just cute.

  Off. Doug Penhall : Hanson? What are you breaking the laws of nature here? I'm a natural.

• Off. Tom Hanson #2 : You know, man, this thing was completely bizarre. I mean, it's like this weird apparition off shot you know.

  Off. Doug Penhall : Let me guess, you stood in the corner and took votes all night.

  Off. Tom Hanson #2 : No man, I got out there and got into it.

  Off. Doug Penhall : You slammed and I missed it?

  Off. Tom Hanson #2 : Yeah, you get out there and you bash into a bunch of other guys. You sweat a lot. I mean it's just another sub culture. Taking orders, packing rules, that kind of thing.

• Lancer : The stupid new kid.

  Off. Tom Hanson #2 : Fine. I see I'm going to have to put this into terms you can understand. That's my stepbrother, Douglas. He's kinda lame, but it's not his fault. You kick his tail - he tells my stepdad - my stepdad kicks my tail. Then I'm going to have to come back here and kick your tail. So, why don't we leave him out and I'll just kick your tail right now?

  Lancer : Ooh tough talk, Junior. You see, uh...

  Off. Tom Hanson #2 : It's a custom. Getting used to newcomers like that. I appreciate it.

• Captain Adam Fuller : Don't you ever do that again! You call, you get somebody, you get arrested, but you do not leave me sitting here wondering if you are alive. Penhall said he stuck with you as long as possible, then he came back and reported in, which is what you are supposed to do.

  Off. Tom Hanson #2 : Yes, sir.

• [last lines] 

  Off. Tom Hanson #2 : You know this means I'll have to arrest you, right?

  Brian Gans : I know.

  Off. Tom Hanson #2 : I'm sorry.

• Off. Tom Hanson #2 : [about Lancer]  I don't get it, what does he want with a bunch of high school kids?

  Captain Adam Fuller : You said they worship his music, maybe he wants to be God. It's a great position to be in if you think about it.

• Off. Tom Hanson #2 : You could always quit.

  Brian Gans : And what? Go back to being a jock? President of the student council for gosh's sake?

  Off. Tom Hanson #2 : WHY NOT!

  [gritted teeth] 

  Off. Tom Hanson #2 : Why not?
