Tripp quotes from I'm in the Band

Tripp

There goes my dream. My dream's getting in their van. My dream's closing the van door. My dream's... putting on their pajamas and brushing their teeth? I think my dream lives in their van.

TRIPP'S LEAVING THE BAND? THIS IS YOUR FAULT! MY FAULT?! STOP SAYING WHAT I'M SAYING!

Tripp

GUYS!

What?

Tripp

I'm not leaving the band.

HE'S STAYING! IT'S BECAUSE OF ME! BECAUSE OF YOU?! STOP SAYING WHAT I'M SAYING!

Tripp

Hey guys! They were having a bake sale at school today. Who wants a cupcake?

Fluff your cupcakes! (He swats the box of cupcakes out of Tripp's hands but then he picks it up again.)

We're so mad at you right now, we're all like this! (He swats the box of cupcakes out of Tripp's hands again.)

Tripp

Hey, what's going on?!?

Ash

What's going on? I don't know, because we weren't invited to the BOOGER carnival! (Gives Tripp the cupcakes but swats them out of his hands again.)

We know you're leaving us and joining Metalwolf. (Goes into the living room.)

Tripp

Wha-hey, hey! No, no no-I am NOT joining Metalwolf! I can't believe you guys would even think that!

(All cover their faces with magazines)

Tripp

What is this music? It's awful!

Oh, you wanna hear awful, you should listen to Metalwolf's last album. It's loud, and you can't understand any of the words! It's just like, "LA DA DA DA DA! BLU LA LA LA LA!"

LA DA DA DA DA!

BLA BLUH BLA! Won a Grammy.

Tripp

...You guys don't like your own music? Then why do you make it? Just for the money?

Tripp, let me explain something to you. (Puts his hand on Tripp's shoulder.) Yes.

Tripp

"Iron Weasel Baby Fight"?! Here's a note from Ms. Dempsey. "Dear neanderthals."

Ash

Oh, that's us.

Tripp

If you're gonna act like children, the whole world's gonna see you as children. We've already got a half a million pre-orders. Reba, sign my name.

I can't believe it! Half a million people are gonna see us look like idiots!

Tripp

Or...half a million people are gonna see us look like IDIOTS!

YES! He's gonna see if he can work with us first. If he likes what he sees and we don't wimp out like that stupid Finnish band, then he'll sign us to a RECORD DEAL!

You guys do that a lot?

Tripp

No.

Not at all.

Hardly ever.

Ash

Sometimes we do this.
