Eric Peterson: Oscar Leroy

Quotes 

• Oscar Leroy : Why do you suddenly want to learn guitar?

  Brent Leroy : You are aware I was the lead guitarist in a band all through high school.

  Oscar Leroy : And now you want to learn how to play the thing? You should have thought about that back then when it could have done some good.

  Brent Leroy : Thanks. Oh, by the way, the Father of the Year committee called. It's between you and Fred MacMurray.

• Oscar Leroy : [to the father of Brent's guitar teacher]  Tell your kid to stop filling my kid's head with rock 'n' roll dreams!

  Mr. Dillems : Who's your kid?

  Oscar Leroy : Brent! The big one. Big head. This high, this wide. Wears jeans.

  Mr. Dillems : Oh, the beginner? I always thought he was weird, but now that I see his old man, it all makes sense.

  Oscar Leroy : What's that supposed to mean?

  Mr. Dillems : It means you're a nutcase, and I don't want you or your weirdo son taking lessons from my kid.

  Oscar Leroy : Well, I won't let my kid hang out with your kid, because your kid has a jackass for a father and comes from a long line of jackasses!

  Mr. Dillems : You can't insult my whole family like that!

  Oscar Leroy : Your whole jackass family!

• [as Oscar is working on the fence] 

  Corky Dillems : [off-screen]  Hey Leroy!

  Oscar Leroy : [looking up]  Who the hell...

  [he sees a man standing by the trees] 

  Oscar Leroy : Corky? Corky Dillems?

  Corky Dillems : I'm talking to my kid and he tells me that you called him, and my whole family, a whole bunch of jackasses.

  Oscar Leroy : [laughing nervously]  I didn't know it was *your* family, Corky!

  Corky Dillems : Or maybe you don't think I'm as tough as I used to be.

  Oscar Leroy : Oh no, no, no, no, no, no... You've always been pretty tough.

  [flashback to Oscar and Corky as young boys at school, Corky has Oscar in a headlock] 

  Young Corky Dillems : You wanna die young, Leroy?

  [flashback to Oscar and Corky at their school reunion, as Corky grabs Oscar by the collar] 

  Corky Dillems : You wanna die middle-aged, Leroy?

  [back to the present day] 

  Corky Dillems : You wanna die a senior, Leroy?

  Oscar Leroy : Yes. I mean, eventually!

• [Oscar is struggling to build a wooden fence around Emma's garden, Brent stands behind him] 

  Brent Leroy : It's just... I'm not learning anything from this kid! He doesn't know half of what I know.

  Oscar Leroy : Well, the important thing is that you gave up. Now pass me the hammer.

  Brent Leroy : I bet he couldn't play 80s rock as good as me.

  Oscar Leroy : Yeah, too bad for him. Pass the hammer!

  Brent Leroy : [walking away]  Yeah, I should go over there, blow his doors off with some heavy thrash metal!

  Oscar Leroy : Less yammer, more hammer!
