The Body : I'm after any quote I can find

**Four_Eyed_Psycho** · March 18th, 2011

I've only read it once, a long time ago. I plan to go shopping for it at some point -
in the meanwhile I'm looking for quotes on the web and I find they play hard to get.

What I'm after really is bits of paragraph, like this one:

«You four-eyed pile of sh*t!» Chris said.
«The pile of sh*t has a thousand eyes» Teddy said gravely,
and both Chris and I cracked up. Teddy stared at us with a slight frown,
as if wondering what had gotten us laughing.

Anyone who can come up with that kinda stuff will spoil me rotten!

Here you go four eyes...

Chris: How do you know if a Frenchman has been in your backyard?
Teddy: Hey, I'm French, okay?
Chris: Your garbage cans are empty and your dog's pregnant.
[Chris and Gordie laugh]
Teddy: Didn't I just say I was French?

"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them - words shrink things that seemed limitless..." - Opening paragraph, The Body (Stand By Me)
"Friends come in and out of your life like busboys in a restaurant, did you ever notice that?" - end of chapter 32, The Body (Stand By Me)

"I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12 - Jesus, did you?" - end of chapter 11, The Body (Stand By Me)

NOW-Go Buy The Book, we ain't gonna assemble it fer ya a line at at time...

G, I can almost see myself reading the 3689th page of this thread

Bwah-ah, look what I wrote in my first post

In the meanwhile

An example of typing between two bites of sandwich.

Here we got this "like busboys in a restaurant" quote which seems to
be everywhere these days; countless Stand By Me fans opining it is
the most memorable - Jesus, does everyone?!!

With Four Eyed Psycho for a screen name, you guess "I cherish Teddy's moments"
and all narrative related to him. I found this one by chance:

«Teddy bugled, and then gave out with his patented Teddy Duchamp laugh -
Eeee-eee-eee, like a rusty nail being slowly hauled out of a rotten board.»

Patented Teddy Duchamp laugh. Priceless.

Then Glewman has me remembering the film and its script, one line in particular
I thought was highly un-Stephen-Kingy.

Ace Merrill: " Okay. Okay. You stated your position clearly. I'm gonna state mine [...] "

Stating one's position?... Sounds more like a thing you hear at the
Board of Directors meeting, not from the mouth of some cheap dime store hood!

I could be wrong, though.
