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: 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 "speargun" no.
Dewey: Dad, listen. I never ask for anything, but I'm asking you to do this for me. It's important.
Hal: I'm sorry, Dewey, but I know a little bit more about this than you do. And you ask for things all the time.
