Why can't he use the church?
Mrs. Hooten
Sometimes people have additional questions to be answered.
Cricket
Like what?
Well, um, for instance - if the forms of this world die, which is more real: the me that dies or the me that's infinite? Can I trust my habitual mind or do I need to learn to look beneath those things?
Mrs. Hooten
So Tommy, what do you do?
I'm a firefighter.
Mr. Hooten
Congratulations, you're a hero.
I'm no hero. We'd all be heroes if we stopped using petroleum!
Mr. Hooten
God gave us oil! He gave it to us! How can God's gift be bad?
I don't know. He gave you a brain too and you messed that up pretty damn good.
Mr. Hooten
I want you sons of bitches out of my house now!
If Hitler were alive, he'd tell you not to think about oil.
Mrs. Hooten
*You're* the Hitler! We took a Sudanese refugee into our home!
You did. But how did Sudan happen, ma'am? Could it possibly be related to dictatorships that we support for some stupid reason?
Mr. Hooten
You shut up! You get out!
You shut up.
Mr. Hooten
Stevo, I'm so disappointed.
Mrs. Hooten
It's all right. Look, he's sad. He's sad.
Mr. Hooten
I'm sorry Stevo. My bad. You didn't know.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Mr. Hooten
I should be what?
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Mr. Hooten
And why's that? Why whould I be ashamed of myself?
You're a hypocrite.
Mr. Hooten
I'm a what?
You're misleading these children. 'Cause you're the destroyer, man.
Mr. Hooten
How am I the destroyer?
I saw that S.U.V. out there.
Mr. Hooten
My car's the destroyer? You wanna know how many miles per gallon I get?
