Sam : I admit we knew we'd get in trouble. That part's true. We knew people would be worried, and we still ran away, anyway. But something also happened, which we didn't do on purpose. When we first met each other, something happened to us.
Captain Sharp : That's very eloquent. I can't argue against anything you're saying. But then again, I don't have to, 'cause you're 12 years old. Look, let's face it, you're probably a much more intelligent person than I am. In fact, I guarantee it. But even smart kids stick they're finger in electrical sockets sometimes.

Sam : That's true. Did you love someone ever?
Captain Sharp : Yes, I did.
Sam : What happened?
Captain Sharp : She didn't love me back.
Sam : Ah.
Captain Sharp : I'm sorry for your loss. Anyway, that's what you're supposed to say.

But in all likelihood, Suzy's probably hiding in the closet at her best friend's house playing Chinese checkers at this very moment, as we speak.
Walt Bishop : She doesn't have any friends.
