Zach[edit]
- Dammit, now can't ANYBODY up there hear me! Just let your hair down! Can't you talk? All of you, just talk, to me, to each other!... Jeez!
Sheila[edit]
- Why is it only I ever get invited places?
Bobby Mills[edit]
- I couldn't catch a ball if it had Elmer's Glue on it. And wouldn't my father have to be this big ex-football hero. Well, he was so humiliated, he didn't know what to tell his friends, so he told them all I had Polio. On Father's Day, I used to limp for him.
- I would always try to find ways to kill myself, but then I realized to commit suicide in Buffalo is redundant.
Dialogue[edit]
