A scene from School of Rock 2003
Patty

[Ned and Patty arrive home and see Dewey sulking at the table]

I have nothing to say to you.

Ned

Me neither.

Dewey

Okay, I'm goin' to bed.

Patty

You know, Dewey, it's one thing to throw your life away, but then to put Ned's career in jeopardy is so selfish!

Dewey

Hey! You're the one who told me to be like Ned and get a job.

Patty

Yeah, yeah, I told you to be like Ned, Dewey! I didn't tell you to be Ned! And you're not even gonna apologize?

Dewey

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SHOULD APOLOGIZE FOR CALLING THE COPS! It's not like I murdered anybody! I just wanted to play a great show! I was this close!

Ned

SHUT UP!!!! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! Would you both just cut it out for one second?!

Dewey

[Patty mutters something under her breath, then leaves]

Look, I'm sorry, dude. I was desperate. You can't understand. It was easy for you to give up music. It ain't easy for me.

Ned

It wasn't easy for me. I miss it.

Dewey

Well, then why'd you give it up?

Ned

'Cause I couldn't keep kidding myself anymore. You can blame it all on bad luck, but in the end, maybe we just weren't that good. Sometimes, you gotta know when to quit.

Dewey

Maybe you're right, maybe I suck.

Ned

That's not what I said.

Dewey

Well, music is my life, man. What do you want me to do?

Ned

I don't know, but... I think it's time you moved out. Sorry.
