You guys know Lindsay?
Yeah, you were in my English class last year. You were the chick that got an A, right?
Yeah, well, what are you gonna do?
I don't know. What are you gonna do?
Are you guys going to the homecoming dance?
Excuse me?
Daniel [to Lindsay] : That's funny. It's a joke, right?
My dad's kinda makin' me go.
Your dad's makin' you go to the dance? What's that all about?
Who's your dad? Hitler?
[to Sam] The dance is tomorrow. She's a cheerleader. You've seen "Star Wars" 27 times. You do the math.
Check it out man, that's uh 14 mounted toms, 8 floor toms, 4 splashes, 2 gongs, 10 cowbells , 4 rides, 5 snares, a rototom rack, and it's all mounted on my infamous quadruple kick drum system. Six more pieces and I got a bigger set than Neil Peart from Rush, yeah.
That's great Nick.
Teachers want us to work, and I say, "Fine, I'll work. But you've gotta let me do the kind of work that I wanna do." And for me, it's my drum kit, man. This is my passion. This is the essence of who I am now. But before I had this, I was lost, too. You see what I'm saying? You need to find your reason for living. You've gotta find your big, gigantic drum kit.
Why don't you blow your nose in some bread and make me a sandwich?
I had a friend who used to smoke. Know what he's doing now? He's dead. You think smoking looks cool, let's go dig him up and see how cool he looks now.
[Later at dinner]
You know, there was a girl in our school... and she had premarital sex. Know what she did on her graduation day? Died! Of a heroin overdose!
Dad? Are any of your friends alive?
The smart ones.
