  Des : [head resting on table, looks up into video camera]  Hello.

  [pause] 

  Des : Fuck you!

• Clarke : Believe me, pal. If you don't slow down you're gonna be dead before you're twenty.

  Des : Promise?

• Clarke : Last night was quite the party, Des. Ya gotta wise up, bud.

  Des : What?

  Clarke : Last night?

  Des : I was doing homework.

  Clarke : Right. Ditto for your pal Stacker. Only he neglected to remember turning twelve last month. That's why he's gonna score six months in the slammer for the job.

  Des : [smirks] 

  Clarke : You just keep laughin' Des boy. Come your twelfth birthday I know ten cops who'll be at your door with a cake.

  Des : What if my buds and me jump you? Pour gas on you? Burn your skin off? You only got six shots in that gun.

• Des : [pulls up on a motorcycle, removes helmet]  You fight good. And that's why you got kicked out of your last school.

  [tosses helmet to Cory] 

  Cory : What's it to ya?

  Des : Ever do anything else?

  Cory : So what are you man? King shit?

  Des : That's right. Hop on.

  Cory : This yours?

  Des : It is now.

  Cory : Ride to school?

  Des : Screw school. I thought you wanted in.

• Des : They're puttin' me in a foster home.

  [tokes on a joint] 

  Cory : No way. We'll just take off.

  Des : [voice quivering]  Where?

  Cory : Who cares? Vince and my Mom got me grounded so bad it's like jail. Been locked up for three weeks and I'm sick of it. I took off school at lunch today and I ain't goin' back. I want out.

  Des : You got cash?

  Cory : No, but we know someone who does.

  Des : Like who?

  Cory : Chet's always flush.

  [brandishes a gun] 

  Cory : Picked it up from your place last night.

  Des : [toking]  Still works?

  Cory : I don't know. Let's try it. Hey Chet!

  [fires gun] 

  Cory : That's what you do, right? You wave it at him, he shits his pants, we take his money - payback!
