• Ricky Stratton : I did it, Dad! I sold the rest of the popcorn.

  Edward Stratton III : You did? But how? I thought you were upstairs.

  Ricky Stratton : No. I went out and I sold the popcorn from door to door to door to door. I sold most of them that way.

  Edward Stratton III : Great! How'd you sell the rest of them?

  Ricky Stratton : Derek's father bought 'em.

  Edward Stratton III : He did?

  Ricky Stratton : Yeah. I just went and knocked on a door at the Shangri-La Motel and Derek's father answered. He seemed real nervous. He bought my last 88 bags. I wonder why?

  Edward Stratton III : Well, when I see him, you can bet I'll ask him.

• Edward Stratton III : You've committed to selling 1,000 bags of popcorn. So, I'll tell you what... first thing tomorrow morning, we'll go down to the mail, and you'll sell 1,000 bags.

  Ricky Stratton : In one day? That's impossible.

  Edward Stratton III : Well, you never know until you try. But I'll tell you this much... if you work hard and earn that $1,000, you're gonna feel a whole lot better about yourself.

  Ricky Stratton : Okay, Dad, I'll give it a try. But if I go through all that hard work and don't feel any better about myself, your credibility is shot.
