Quotes 

• Ricky Stratton : If you're my friend, how come you stopped me from getting a motorcycle? I really wanted one!

  Kate Summers : Because a real friend doesn't just tell you the things that you want to hear. I worry about your having an accident on that motorcycle - and I will not apologize for worrying about you! Because I love you... Well, I - I just wanted to tell you how I feel.

  Ricky Stratton : [as she leaves]  ... Kate?

  Kate Summers : Yes?

  Ricky Stratton : ...I love you, too.

• Edward Stratton III : Rick, your mom's taking you to Bernard's by the Bay, and they have a proper attire requirement.

  Ricky Stratton : I don't like Bernard's by the Bay, Dad! Fourteen dollars for a hamburger - and it doesn't even come with a bun! The last time I was there, I asked the waiter for some ketchup, and he looked at me like I'd just shot his dog.

  Edward Stratton III : Well, you see, son - your mother is philosophically opposed to eating at anyplace that doesn't have valet parking.

• Ricky Stratton : What a mom... what a dad... I am blessed.

• Ricky Stratton : After all you've done, can't you just leave me alone?

  Kate Summers : I want us to talk this out...

  Ricky Stratton : There's nothing to talk about! Me and my dad were all set to get our dirt bikes - and then you come up with this bummer story about your relative? And the next thing I know, I'm right back on my Schwinn.

  Kate Summers : All I was trying to do...

  Ricky Stratton : You were trying to act like my mother!... And you're not my mother.

  Kate Summers : Ricky, your father and I are... involved right now. And - and it's a tough situation for all of us. You're not sure where I fit in - and, to tell you the truth, I'm not sure either. Now, I'm not trying to be your mother - but I am trying to be your friend.

• Evelyn Stratton : You conned me, young man. Now, what do you have to say for yourself?

  Ricky Stratton : I'm sorry, Mom; I'll never do it again. If I do, you can tie one end of a rope to me, and the other end to a smelly camel - and then you can drag me across the Gobi Desert, until my body swells up, and my tongue turns black.

• Edward Stratton III : Son, your tie is the wrong length.

  Ricky Stratton : You wear it the same way all the time, it gets boring.
