Fuck writing, I don't want to be a writer. It's stupid. It's a stupid waste of time....

Gordie: Fuck writing, I don't want to be a writer. It's stupid. It's a stupid waste of time. Chris: That's your dad talking. Gordie: Bullshit. Chris: Bull true. Chris: I know how your dad feels about you. He doesn't give a shit about you. Denny was the one. He cared about and don't try to tell me different. You're just a kid, Gordie. Gordie: Oh, gee! Thanks, Dad. Chris: Wish the hell I was your dad. You wouldn't be goin' around talkin' about takin' these stupid shop courses if I was. It's like God gave you something, man, all those stories you can make up. And He said, "This is what we got for ya, kid. Try not to lose it." Kids lose everything unless there's someone there to look out for them. And if your parents are too fucked up to do it, then maybe I should.

you could be a real writer someday, Gordie. Fuck writing! I don't want to be a writer. It's stupid. It's a stupid waste of time. That's your dad talking. Bullshit! Bulltrue!

But kids lose everything unless there's someone there to look out for them. And if your parents are too fucked-up to do it, then maybe I should. Come on you guys, let's get moving. Yeah, by the time we get there the kid won't even be dead anymore. Any of you guys know when the next train is due? We could go down to the Route 136 bridge. What? Are you crazy? That's five miles down the river. You walk five miles down the river, you gotta walk five miles back. That could take till dark. We go across here, we can get to the same place in 10 minutes. Yeah, but if a train comes, there's nowheres to go. Hell, there isn't. You just jump. Teddy, it's 100 feet. Yeah, Teddy. Look, you guys can go around if you want to. I'm crossing here. And while you guys are dragging your candy asses
