Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Just after Teddy breaks down over Milo Pressman calling his father a looney and the gang lapses into awkward/sympathetic silence, Vern begins singing, 'Have Gun, Will Travel' and then abruptly trails off as he realises that nobody finds it remotely amusing.
  • "By the time we get there, the kid isn't even going to be dead anymore."
  • And then there's Gordie and Chris's reaction ('JESUS!!') to the gun firing (which Chris claimed wasn't loaded).
  • "Oh Billy, I wish we never boosted that car! Oh Billy, I think I just turned my Fruit-of-the-Looms into a fudge factory!"
  • "D'you use your left hand or your right hand for that?" "You wish."
  • The whole campfire conversation with the famous "What the hell is Goofy?" and all.
  • "This is my age! I'm in the prime of my youth, and I'll only be young once!" "Yeah, but you're gonna be stupid for the rest of your life."
  • "That's Chopper?!"
