[...]

- See, you use dirty words, and maybe you end up becoming a whore, you understand?

- Come on, Rocky. I'm just 12.

- Hey, that don't matter that you're 12. It don't matter. You don't really have to be one. You just act like one and that's it. Boom.

- Hey, if you get a bad rap, you understand? 20 years from now, people are gonna say, 'Hey, you remember Marie? No, who's she? She's the little whore that hung out at the Atomic Hoagie Shop. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, now I remember her.'

- You see, they don't remember you, they remember the rep. You understand?

- Hey, you got a boyfriend? No, you ain't got a boyfriend. You know why? Why don't you think you have a boyfriend? 'Cause you're hangin' out with them coconuts in the corner, you understand?

- You hang around coconuts, you get nowhere. They're lemons. Lemons.

- You hang out with nice people, you get nice friends, you understand? You hang out with smart people, you get smart friends. You hang out with yo-yo people, you get yo-yo friends. You see? It's simple mathematics.

- I hope you ain't gonna...

- I won't.

- What was I gonna say?

- You hope I don't keep acting like a whore, or I'll turn into one, right? Yeah, something like that.

- Good night, Rocky.

- Good night, Marie. Take care, you know?

- Hey, Rocky?

- Yo.

- Screw you, creep-o!
