[Willie is waxing the hallway floor as Nancy walks up] Nancy: Oh! Bet you can't do that and chew gum at the same time. Willie: You're probably right. I'm just good at simple tasks -- like cooking, and waxing the floors, and acting as a cover for my sister... Nancy: Cover? Willie: What was I supposed to do if Lois had come out of the bathroom while you and Tom were making out in the kitchen -- yell "Fire!" and push her out into the garden? Nancy: Making out? What a way you have with words. Willie: I didn't imagine the two of you in the kitchen, Nancy. Nancy: No, you didn't, but you sure imagined the rest of it. Willie: Well, a person can only go by what he sees. Stacey Palmer: How come your mother didn't stick up for your pal, last night? Buddy: I don't know what you're talking about. Stacey: I guess she's worried about your relationship with a certain party. Buddy: I dare you to keep talking. Stacey: Some of us have always wondered about you, Buddy. Other girl:I certainly have. I meant to ask: how come you wanna try out for the boys' basketball team? Buddy: For your information, there's a law about discrimination in sports. Stacey: I bet I know who taught you that. Hey, Buddy -- when Miss Jessup leaves, is she gonna take you with her, the way she did the girl in her other school? Buddy: What are you talking about?! Stacey: For your information, Buddy Lawrence, people go by what they see.
