• Arnold Stoner : [to wife, off camera]  Sweetheart, I'll talk to him.

  [to Anthony, "Man", as he makes a fruit smoothie] 

  Arnold Stoner : Son, your mother and me would like for you to cozy up to the Finkelstein boy. He's a bright kid, and, uh... he's going to military school, and... remember, he was an Eagle Scout...

  Mrs. Tempest Stoner : Arnold...

  Arnold Stoner : [shouting as wife continues]  Will you shut up? We're not going to have a family brawl!

  Mrs. Tempest Stoner : ...and a retard!

  Arnold Stoner : We've put up with a hell of a lot.

  [Anthony starts blender] 

  Arnold Stoner : Can this wait? Build your goddamn muscles, huh? You know, you could build your muscles picking strawberries. You know, bend and scoop... like the Mexicans.

  [Anthony turns off blender and pours contents into tall glass] 

  Arnold Stoner : Shit, maybe I could get you a job with United Fruit! I got a buddy with United Fruit. Get you started. Start with strawberries, you might work your way up to these goddamn bananas!

  [Anthony drinks from glass as his father shouts] 

  Arnold Stoner : When, boy? When... are you going to get your act together?

  [Anthony turns to him and gives a loud belch] 

  Mrs. Tempest Stoner : [in disgust]  Gross!

  Arnold Stoner : [rubs his forehead with his hand]  Oh, good God Almighty me. I think he's the Antichrist.

  [turns to his son] 

  Arnold Stoner : Anthony, I want to talk to you. Now, listen!

  [Anthony walks away and gives an obscene gesture behind his back] 

  Arnold Stoner : Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you! You get a goddamn job before sundown...

  Mrs. Tempest Stoner : [pointing to Anthony as he walks away]  Is that some kind of peace sign?

  Arnold Stoner : ...or we're shipping you off to military school with that... goddamn Finkelstein... shit kid!

  [turns away in frustration] 

  Arnold Stoner : Son of a BITCH!

• Arnold Stoner : You get yourself a job before sundown, or we're shipping you off to military school with that goddam Finklestein shit kid! Son of a bitch!

• Arnold Stoner : Dear God, almighty me... I think he's the Antichrist.

• Arnold Stoner : When, boy? When, are you gonna get your act together?
