Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Joey : There are but a handful of individuals in this world whom I would consider to have been touched by whomever does the touching. Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Sir Isaac Newton, and Joseph Patrick Finley, sometimes known as "Cy," after the late, great Cy Young. Who is Joseph Patrick Finley, you wonder, besides the son of Doctors Archibald and Catherine Finley, besides the finest friend a friend could have? Nobody special, at least not in his eyes, which is good in one way and a problem in many others. Suffice it to say, his is a curious case.

• Joey : All right. Cuff him to the post.

  Hayes : You're not cuffing me into a post.

  Joey : We're not?

  Hayes : Not a chance.

  [Joey cocks the gun] 

  Joey : Cuff him.

  Hayes : Don't touch me. Especially you, Piggy.

  [Hays spits on Book] 

  Hayes : Compliments of the chef.

  Book : [to Joey]  Give me that.

  [Book takes the gun and points it at Hayes] 

  Book : Back up.

  Hayes : No, Piggy.

  Book : [louder]  Back up!

  Hayes : [louder]  No, Piggy!

  Book : [louder]  Back up!

  Hayes : [louder]  No, Piggy!

  Book : [Book shoots the gun in various directions]  Back up! Back up! Back up! Back up! Back up!

  [Joey and Mouth handcuff Hayes] 

  Book : Why, why, why? Just because someone half your size calls you an asshole from two blocks away that means to terrorize him? Who gave you the right to call me "Piggy?" Huh? Who gave you the right to drag me out of a shower and throw me into a hallway full of kids? Huh? And who gave you the right to touch anyone? Who? God dammit

  [screams] 

  Book : who?

• Joey : You don't remember how frightened and pathetic you were, curled up half-naked with your runny nose mushed up against the door, crying like it was the end of the world. How easily you forget the pain. I don't forget the pain. I don't forget your pain. I don't forget Mouth's pain, and I don't forget my pain. I'm sick of it.

  Mouth : Maybe it's your brother you should be knocking off.

  Joey : Maybe you're right. But Dale won't kill me. Hayes might.
