• Dewey : Dad, can I have a sleepover tomorrow?

  Hal : Somebody wants to sleep over? Here? That's fantastic! Who?

  Dewey : Chad from my class.

  Hal : Oh, geez, Dewey, I don't think that's a good idea. That kid is really...

  Dewey : He's fine. He's just a little strange. Nothing to be scared of.

  Hal : Well, it's not anything to be taken lightly, either. That boy has a lot of serious issues. I don't think you know what you're getting into.

  Dewey : Yes, I do. I also know people treat him like a freak for no reason. Even his parents have given up on him. They're just looking for an excuse to have him institutionalized.

  Hal : This is supposed to be convincing me?

• Dewey : [to Hal about Chad sleeping over]  Dad, I want to prove that he can do normal stuff like a normal kid and have a normal life.

  Hal : No means no, Dewey.

  Dewey : No doesn't always mean no.

  Hal : This isn't "PG-movie" no, this is "spear gun" no.

• Hal : [to Dewey]  I told you no, and you went behind my back and tricked your mother into letting you have this sleepover?

  Dewey : I just told her it'd be a nice thing to do for a kid who doesn't have many nice things in his life. If you call that a trick, then yeah. You don't have to freak out. I know how to handle Chad. You can't believe everything you read in the special needs bulletin. They only say that stuff to get extra funding.
