Quotes

• Connie: You're not gonna sleep now, are you?

Susan Clemmins: I'd leave now, but I already paid your dad for the continental breakfast.

• Manager: There is one other class, but it wouldn't be right for you.

Bobby: There's nothing about the YMCA that's right for me. But until I'm famous enough to afford my own bodyguard, I am going to have to learn how to defend myself! Now, do your job, sir!

• Chane: Connie, when you kiss this loser, do you still taste dirt?

Connie: No. Not anymore.

• Joseph: My dad says that whenever you're in a jail-type situation, the best way to survive is to take out the biggest guy there. That way, you establish who's boss right from the get-go. Or you can hang yourself with your pants. He says that's another way to go.

• Connie: Uh-oh. It's the metal shop kids. If they hassle us, just run. They won't be able to catch us because they smoke.

• Principal Moss: I wish I'd called you folks here under pleasanter circumstances, but I'm afraid your son's been caught fighting again on the school grounds.

Hank: Well, first of all, my son was just defending himself. Second of all, I do consider these pleasant circumstances.

• Hank: Where in the heck did you learn to do that?

Bobby: At the women's self-defence course I signed up for at the Y.

Hank: Women's self-defence? (turns to Peggy)

Peggy: What did I do? It was your idea to send him to the Y in the first place! So, I could point the finger at you, but I won't. But I could.

• Bill: (to Hank) You... have... been... kicked... in... the... testicles!

• Dale: I live in constant fear of the day Joseph finally can take down his old man. If I were him, I'd do it while I was sleeping. Best chance he's got. Although, I've recently learned how to sleep with my eyes open. God, am I tired.

• Bill: I wish I had a son to kick me in the nuts.

• Connie: Word in the halls is you got suspended for kicking Principal Moss in the crotch.

Bobby: What? No. That's crazy. I kicked my dad in the crotch.

Connie: You kicked your father? We all have those feelings, Bobby, but you never act on them.

• Kahn: I heard what you did to Chane Wassanasong. Unforgivable! Then I heard what you did to your father. Very funny. So I'm conflicted.

• Peggy: Uh-huh. That's right, Bobby. I believe you will find that I have no testicles. Where's your secret weapon now, huh?

Kahn: She bluffing! Finish her!
