[The Eagle Fang students are scared of Johnny ordering them to jump the gap between two buildings with a long way drop to some mattresses below]
I know what I'm doing.
Do you? Based on your track record, you don't have the best judgment.
Oh, you wanna talk judgment? How about smashing into my Firebird and driving off with your girlfriends?
I wasn't even driving. I was in the backseat.
Showing up at my place drunk, causing your dad to kick down my door? Guessing that wasn't your fault either.
I'm a teenager who's made mistakes. You're a 50-something-year-old man who lives alone, drinks all day, and clearly hasn't figured out his own life.
I figured out one thing for sure. If I did everything my parents wanted me to do, I'd be wearing a suit and tie in some worthless job while I wait out the clock. I didn't want that. And now I get to do what I love every damn day. I get to try to help kids like you find their own way. If you wanna sit in the back seat your whole life, go right ahead. It's no sweat off my back.
