• Ben Luckett : I got a couple of things I... I need to talk about with you.

  David : Yeah?

  Ben Luckett : Yeah. I guess me and your grandma are going away, David.

  David : Where to?

  Ben Luckett : Well, that's not important. What's important is that when we get where we're going, we'll never be sick, we won't get any older and we won't ever die.

  David : You're joking me, right?

  Ben Luckett : No. No.

  David : Would I be able to visit you and Grandma?

  Ben Luckett : No. And we wouldn't be able to visit you, either. And that kind of bothers me.

  David : I'd never see you again?

  Ben Luckett : No.

  David : When would you go, if you did?

  Ben Luckett : Soon, my boy. Soon. And do you know where?

  David : Where?

  Ben Luckett : Look up. Outer space, my lad. Outer space.

  David : Who's gonna take you to outer space?

  Ben Luckett : It don't matter. You wouldn't believe me if I told you, and I can't tell your mother, because she'd then know her old man had snapped his cap.

  Ben Luckett : I wonder if they'll have fishing holes there. There's some things they won't have. They won't have grandsons, and they won't have baseball games, and they won't have hot dogs, and they won't have that kind of stuff. And... I'm gonna miss them.

• Susan : You guys wanna go out to dinner?

  David : Yeah.

  Ben Luckett : No Italian food! Makes me fart!
