- Rocky Dennis: [Ben shows up at Rocky's house to tell him he's leaving for good to Michigan for a job with his dad he got applied to] Hey Ben, what's happening?
- Ben: Rocky, I gotta talk to you.
- Rocky Dennis: Ok. You want some cake?
- Ben: No.
- Rocky Dennis: You sure? My mom made it. It's actually pretty good.
- Ben: No thanks.
- Rocky Dennis: You want something to drink?
- Ben: Mmm-mmm.
- Rocky Dennis: Found a noose to hang yourself. What's the matter, Ben?
- Ben: I've been wanting to tell you this for a while.
- Rocky Dennis: Well, what?
- Ben: Rock... . I'm going back to my Dad's in Michigan. He got me a job there. It's great money.
- Rocky Dennis: When are you coming back?
- Ben: I'm not coming back.
- Rocky Dennis: What do you mean, Ben?
- Ben: I'll go nuts if I have to stay here. I mean, my mom, the school. So I quit. Look, I can work back there. I'll be making 7.50 an hour.
- Rocky Dennis: What about the trip?
- Ben: I'm sorry, Rocky. Look, you can keep the money.
- Rocky Dennis: I don't want the freaking money, Ben. I wanna go to Europe. What about our trip, huh? Huh? How can you do this, Ben? This is all we've talked about for a year.
- Ben: That's all you talked about!
- Rocky Dennis: That's BULLSHIT, man! You talked about it too and you know it!
- Ben: I didn't know that. I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.
- Rocky Dennis: You know what you mean, didn't you, Ben? You know why? Because you're stupid! You are so stupid, Ben!
- Rusty Dennis: Rocky!
- [Rocky slams the door and rips one of the cards he gave him]
- Rocky Dennis: Rube Walker, man! I call you a Rube Walker!
- Ben: [Sobs] Look, take it easy.
- Rocky Dennis: No more, Ben. No more taking it easy! I...
- Rusty Dennis: Rocky, stop it!
- Rocky Dennis: Get out of here, Ben.
- [Their friendship ends for good, a sad Ben leaves]
