Quotes 

• Ramsey : [during Lumpy's funeral service]  There are a lot of moments in life, and I didn't know Lumpy very long. Most of you probably had more time with him than I did, but... just because dying on a cactus was Lumpy's last moment doesn't mean it was his most important one.

• Ramsey : My mom says taking drugs for fun is okay, but taking them for problems is not. 'Cause once the drugs wear off, you still have the problem.

• Ramsey : [during Lumpy's funeral service]  He didn't tell anyone about his heart because he didn't want his friends or his family to worry. And if he only had a little time left to live, the last thing he wanted to be was a lawyer. He just wanted to fish and have fun.

• Ramsey : Don't you have candles to light, or like... wine and crackers to hand out?

  Priest : That's what you think I do? Mood lighting and catering?

• Jaime : You never gave it a chance.

  Ramsey : No one makes new friends in high school.

  Jaime : Oh, you're so smart though.

  Ramsey : Yeah, and everyone's just dying to be friends with that freak girl who does math two years ahead of everybody else.

  Jaime : Oh, if you try, it'll get better.

  Ramsey : You sure about that, Mom? Is it gonna get better like Milwaukee, where I got beat up every week? Or is it gonna get better like Rockford, where you got beat up every week?

  Jaime : Stop it. I did the best that I could.

  Ramsey : Or is it like Brooklyn Park, where I had to watch my dad O.D.? So tell me, Mom...

  Jaime : [interrupting]  Stop it!

  Ramsey : ...When does it get better, because I wouldn't want to miss it.

  [stomps out of house in winter weather] 

  Jaime : Ramsey... where are you going?

  Ramsey : Anywhere but here.

• Ramsey : I still think you should've gone to the hospital.

  Lumpy : Mm-mmm, no, no. No, Duluth is... like umm... two hours away from here. I took a hot shower. I'll be fine.

  Ramsey : Well, you look purple and bloated.

  Lumpy : I always look bloated.

  [pause] 

  Lumpy : It's okay, it's okay. I work really hard to look this bloated. It's a point of pride for me.

• Ramsey : Hot date?

  Priest : What are you doing here?

  Ramsey : You know I like to watch. I hate it when you pull the blinds, Dad.

  Priest : [sighs]  I'm not your dad.

  Ramsey : Dad, father, father, dad... Whatever. I need 50 bucks.

  Priest : I don't have 50 bucks. This is really your best option? Blackmailing a priest?

  Ramsey : Think of it as community welfare.

  Priest : Is there a doctor or a lawyer you can hustle?

  Ramsey : If you want me to go back to taking it out of the offering tray, I will.

• Lumpy : [outside motel in wintery night weather]  Let me at least put some clothes on, and I will drive you home.

  Ramsey : I can walk.

  Lumpy : Get your butt back in the hotel room, or I'm gonna drop this towel!

  [sardonically] 

  Lumpy : You'll be scarred for life.

• Scott : We can drive you to Minneapolis but then, how you're gonna get back home?

  Ramsey : I don't know. I'd take the bus or something.

  Kristin : I think we should figure that out before...

  Scott : [reciprocating]  Yeah

  Ramsey : [interrupting]  I'm pregnant.

  [silence] 

  Ramsey : It's Lumpy's.

  Kristin : [faces away]  I knew it.
