Ronald Miller [to his dad, about his brother]
Here is the primate example. You're raising a doll-chopping homicidal maniac, and what do you do every time you see him? You give him money. Great!
Ronald Miller [Talking to Cindy outside her house]
I need to talk to you. Every time I call you're either taking a bath, washing your hair or you're out of the country. That was a good one, by the way.
Ronald Miller [to Cindy]
Oh! You-- You demolished me New Year's Eve. But see-- I realize you did me a favor. You brought me back to reality. All I ever wanted to do was get close to you. And then, when I finally got there, it wasn't me anymore.

Just going out with me is not gonna make you popular.
Ronald Miller Well I have a thousand dollars that says it will.
I think you've mowed one too many lawns!
Ronald Miller We do have a lot of great memories but be honest... wouldn't you like to be popular?
Kenneth Wurman And have to be in a clique... no.
Ronald Miller What happened to us? We were all friends in elementary.
Kenneth Wurman That's because we were all forced to be in the same room together. But, hey, junior high, high school. Forget it. Jocks became jocks. Cheerleaders became cheerleaders. We became us. I like us.
Quint Oh, Return of the Living Dread.

Why don't you lay off?
Quint Why don't you go back where you belong, hose head?
Ronald Miller Take your hands off Kenneth or I'll break your arm. Your pitching arm.

Kenneth Wurman Yeah, you cried all the way.
Ronald Miller We were all friends then, remember? And now you want to end his life because he's talking to Patty on your side of the cafeteria. Oh man, that's stupid. I know cuz that's where I wanted to be. On your side, with your crowd. But I messed up. See, I tried to buy my way in. But Kenneth, he's not trying to buy anybody. He's just trying to make friends being himself. Cools, Nerds, your side, my side, man it's all bullshit. It's just tough enough to be yourself.
