Stand by Me1986

Gordie:
Maybe you could come into the college courses with me.

Chris:
Yeah right, that'll be the day.

Gordie:
Why not? You're smart enough.

Chris:
They won't let me.

Gordie:
What do you mean?

Chris:
It's what everyone thinks of my family in this town. It's what they think of me. I'm just one of those low-life Chambers kids.

Gordie:
That's not true.

Chris:
Oh wait, it is. No one even asked me if I took the milk money that time. I just got a three day vacation.

Gordie:
Did you take it?

Chris:
Yeah, I took it! I mean, you knew I took it. Teddy knew I took it. Everyone knew I took it. Even Vern knew it, I think. But maybe I was sorry and I tried to give it back.

Gordie:
You tried to give it back?

Chris:
Maybe. Just maybe. And maybe I took it to Old Lady Simmons and told her, and the money was all there. But I still got a three day vacation because it never showed up. And maybe the next week, Old Lady Simmons had this new suit on when she came to school.

Gordie:
Yeah, yeah! It was brown and it had dots on it.

Chris:
Yeah. So let's just say that I stole the milk money, but Old Lady Simmons stole it back from me. Just say that I told this story. Me, Chris Chambers. Kid brother to Eyeball Chambers. Do you think that anyone would've believed it?

Gordie:
No.

Chris:
And do you think that that b*tch would have dared try something like that if it had been one of those douchebags from up on the view, if they had taken the money?

Gordie:
No way!

Chris:
Hell no! But with me?... I'm sure she had her eye on that skirt for a long time. Anyway, she saw her chance, and she took it. I was the stupid one for even trying to give it back. [begins to cry] I just never thought a teacher... Oh, who gives a f*** anyway? I just wish... that I could go some place... where nobody knows me. I guess I'm just a p*ssy, huh?

Gordie:
[comforting] No way. No way.
