Sam
[edit]- You know, it seems to me that, I mean, except for being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.
- Oh, oh Benny, hey Benny, thanks for the couch... um Mike made me sleep under the sink.
- Mommy?
- Ruthie, do you got any avocados?
Joon
[edit]- Some cultures are defined by their relationship to cheese.
- Don't underestimate the mentally ill. We know how to count.
- Having a Boo Radley moment, are we?
Benny
[edit]- I am serious. I'm always serious. I'm too serious.
- You can't bet a human being!
Dialogue
[edit]- Sam: You don't like raisins?
- Joon: Not really.
- Sam: Why?
- Joon: They used to be fat and juicy and now they're twisted. They had their lives stolen. Well, they taste sweet, but really they're just humiliated grapes. I can't say I am a big supporter of the raisin council.
- Sam: Did you see those, those raisins on TV? The ones that sing and dance and stuff?
- Joon: They scare me.
- Sam: Yeah me too.
- Joon: It's sick. The commercial people they make them sing and dance so people will eat them.
- Sam: It's a shame about raisins.
- Joon: You're out of your tree.
- Sam: It's not my tree.
- Joon: We have to tell him.
- Benny: What? Tell me what?
- Sam: Uh, Benny, Joon and uh and I are uh... you know.
- Benny: Hi, I'm Benny
- Sam: With an N?
- Benny: Yeah. Two of them. And this is Joon.
- Sam: With an N?
- Joon: One.
