Patterson: You think you'll understand him? Rusty: Yeah, but what I don't understand is why you hate him so much? Patterson: I hate him because you kids think he's an idol but he isn't. He is anything else but he is no hero!

Father: Every now and then, a person comes along, has a different view of the world than does the usual person. It doesn't make them crazy. I mean... an acute perception, man... that doesn't, that doesn't make you crazy. Rusty: Could you talk normal? Father: However sometimes... it can drive you crazy, acute perception. Rusty: I wish you'd talk normal 'cause I don't understand half the garbage you're saying. You know? You know what I mean? Father: No, your mother... is not crazy. And neither, contrary to popular belief, is your brother crazy. He's merely miscast in a play. He was born in the wrong era, on the wrong side of the river... with the ability to be able to do anything that he wants to do and findin' nothin' that he wants to do. I mean nothing.

Rusty: How can you tell if someone is crazy? Benny: Can't always... Depends on how many think he's crazy.
