Chris: I mean, you could be a real writer someday, Gordie.
Gordie: **** writing! I don't wanna be a writer. It's stupid. It's a stupid wasted time!
Chris: That's your dad talking.
Gordie: Bullshit!
Chris: Bulltrue! I know how your dad feels about you, he doesn't give a shit about you. Denny was the one he cared about, and don't try to tell me different! You're just a kid, Gordie...
Gordie: Oh, gee, thanks, Dad!
Chris: I wish the hell I was your dad. You wouldn't be going around talking about taking these stupid shop courses if I was. It's like God gave you something man. All those stories that you can make up, and He said, "This is what we got for you kid, try not to lose it." But kids lose everything unless there's someone there to look out for them. And if your parents are too ****ed up to do it, then maybe I should.
Vern: Come on, you guys, let's get moving!
Teddy: Yeah, by the time we get there, the kid won't even be dead anymore.
Gordie: **** writing! I don't wanna be a writer. It's stupid. It's a stupid wasted time!
