Reverend Shaw Moore: Were you drinking? Ariel: No. Reverend Shaw Moore: Smoking something? Ariel: No! I wasn't stealing, I wasn't gambling, I wasn't dancing, I wasn't reading books I'm not supposed to! I am late! Reverend Shaw Moore: Who were you with? Ariel: Ren McCormick. Reverend Shaw Moore: I don't want you to see him anymore. Ariel: Why not? Reverend Shaw Moore: Because I've heard he's a troublemaker. Ariel: Just because he hasn't lived in this town for 20 years doesn't make him a troublemaker! Reverend Shaw Moore: Ariel, I don't know what I'm going to do with you. Ariel: There ain't nothing to *do* with me, Daddy. You like it or not, this is it. It doesn't get much better.
