Mike sr: Good god!
Phone bill's past due, power bill's past due.
I'm not paying my dues, I'm paying my past dues!
Adult mark: But poverty can't buy anything.
Well, you'd better pay the tv bill.
'cause I'm betting on the tyson/frazier fight.
You want me to pay a bill so you can gamble away your money?
Oh, you don't know the first thing about investments!

Good morning.
You slept in. You'll miss your bus.
You want some toast? Mark: No, thanks.
You can eat at recess, then.
Look. I made you a special lunch.
Two buns, two bags of chips, and two pepsis, huh?
Adult mark: My mother was killing me with kindness.
And maybe diabetes.
I couldn't fit in your sandwich.
You want to eat that on the bus?
That's okay. Thanks, mom.

Mary: What? Pop: She's got a new boyfriend.
Pop: He's a bit older. Drives a car!
I'd tell you more, but...
I'm sworn to secrecy.
Hey, guys.
Mary: Mike, honey!
Here, made you a ham sandwich.
Mike jr: Oh, thank you!
Mike sr: How was the night shift?
Oh, it was awesome.
And you know what?
I got my first cheque.
Mary: Oh! Mike sr: Oh, well done!
That's my boy!
That can't be right.
Says here he's making 10 cents more an hour than I am.
[chuckles] cool.
Jesus murphy!
You can't be making less than your son.
Well, when's the last time you asked for a raise?
Well, I...
I mean, you have to... Find the right time
For this kind of...
Adult mark: The old man hated conflict.
He believed in living life as free as a bird.
An ostrich, specifically,
With his head buried deep in the sand.
Mary: The right time is right now.
Now, you get on over there and you tell mr. Murphy
That you're the heart and soul of that station!
And all that other crap you're always telling me, hm?

And now every inch of it reminded me of her.

Fox: Hey. Mark: Hey.
Adult mark: Our witty banter was back!
All I had to do now was not say anything stupid!
Mark: So...
Why isn't your boyfriend driving you?
You know, besides it being illegal.
Even with a learner's permit,
You should always have an adult present in the car.
Adult mark: And so much for that.
We broke up.
Oh. That's too bad.
Adult mark: Huzzah!
I had defeated my enemy without having to do a thing.
I felt as powerful as the noble ostrich.
He's a jerk.
He's always trying to get me to do gross stuff.
Boys are dicks.
Can I ask you a personal question?
If he's so rotten, then why'd you even date him?
In the summer, he seemed nice
Compared to everyone else I was hanging out with,
But now I realize that's 'cause
The people I was hanging out with... Suck.

Check this out. I got double-lunched.
No way! How?
Oh, my mom.
Fox: Okay, give me the chips. Mark: Both?
Adult mark: The bus had become a time machine,
And by the time we got to school,
I felt as though a great weight had been lifted
From my shoulders...
...And tied around my ankles.
Fox: [to mark] that's so lame...
Millard: Hey, fox!
Millard: We gotta talk. Fox: I gotta get to class.
Oh, would you just give it up?!
She said she doesn't want to talk to you.
Millard: And I wasn't talking to you
