"What's a nice, smart kid like you running around with trash like that for?"

"Shut your mouth, kid. If you wasn't Soda's kid brother I'd beat the tar out of you. You know better than to talk to Johnny like that."

"I stay away all night and nobody notices. At least you got Soda. I ain't got nobody."

"I wouldn't want you to see him. You're a traitor to your own kind and not loyal to us."

"If the fuzz show, you two beat it out of there. The rest of us can only get jailed. You two can get sent to a boys' home."

"I thought you were in the hospital."

"We stayed with you so much that the doctor told us we were going to end up in the hospital ourselves if we didn't get some sleep."
