The Way Way Back quotes

Page 2 of 2
Susanna

So. You're a big fan of REO Speedwagon?

What?

Susanna

Can't Fight This Feeling?

Oh, no. My mom must have put that on there.

Susanna

Oh. And you just got to it and thought "What the hell? I'm going to sing the shit out of it anyway."

Trent

Duncan! On a scale of 1 to 10, what do you think you are? [no answer] What... what don't you know? How you see yourself? You don't have any opinion? [no response from Duncan] I'm just asking. Pick any number, scale of one to ten. Just shout it out. Just say a number.

[reluctantly]

A six.

Trent

A what?

A six!

Trent

I think you're a three. You know why I think you're a three? You know what would make me say that?

[morosely]

No.

Trent

You don't know? You have no idea?

No.

Trent

You've got to speak up, buddy.

No!

Trent

Since I've been dating your mom, I don't see you putting yourself out there, bud. Meeting kids your own age. And from what your mom tells me, you just seem content to hang around her apartment. Is that a fair assessment? You're just happy not do anything? 'Cause... damn, to me that is a three.

[to Duncan, later repeated verbatim by Duncan to Susanna]

Water Wizz Waterpark. Built in the summer of '83, it's the last bastion of everything that period stood for. In fact, it was decreed by its creator that this place shall never age. On his deathbed, he said "I don't want this place re-painted or updated I don't even want it brought up to code. And the minute somebody tries, it needs to be destroyed."

It's called delegation, baby. I read about it in a book about it.
