Arlo
- Arlo: Group W is where they put ya if you may not be moral enough to join the army after committin' your special crime. There was all kinds of mean, nasty ugly-lookin' people on the bench there. There was mother rapers... father stabbers... father rapers... Father rapers! Sittin' right there on the bench next to me!
- Officer Obie: Want your wallets and your belts. Put everything on the desk.
- Arlo: I can understand you wanting our wallets, so we don't have any money to spend in the cell, but what do you want our belts for?
- Officer Obie: Kid, we don't want any hanging.
- Arlo: [pause] Obie, do you think we're gonna hang ourselves for littering?
- Criminal: [approaching Arlo on the bench] Kid, what'd you get?
- Arlo: I didn't get nothin'. I had to pay fifty dollars, and pick up the garbage.
- Arlo, Pete Seeger: [singing] Let's go ridin' in the car car, Let's go ridin' in the car car, Let's go ridin' in the car car, Let's go ridin' in the car...
- Draft Clerk: What's this huntington's chorea?
- Arlo: Incurable nerve disease.
- Draft Clerk: And you have it?
- Arlo: It runs in the family! My father has it and my grandmother had it.
- Draft Clerk: It says here, "Do you know of any reason as to why *you* might not qualify for military service?" Not your father, not your grandmother.
- Arlo: I could get it.
- Draft Clerk: But, you don't have it now.
- Arlo: No.
- Draft Clerk: [writes down on draft form] "None." You'll hear from us.
- Arlo: Peace.
- [exits]
- Arlo: How old are you?
- Reenie: [Sniffing, takin off her shorts and shirt] Seventeen.
- Arlo: Seventeen?
- Reenie: Fifteen.
- Arlo: Fifteen going on fourteen.
- Reenie: Okay!
- Arlo: What do you want? Jesus.
- Reenie: I'm no teeny bopper. I already made it with Dick Bogarde of the Raspberry Wristwatch. It's his shirt. And Jack Hennessy of the Unreal. And the drummer of the Democratic Convention. And the Wanderer. And lots of other big guys. With concerts and record deals and everything. And, I like - well - you know, with you. Because you'll probably get to be in an album.
- Arlo: [takes off his handkerchief] Here. Keep this, as a souvenir. It's the same as if we made it. I just don't want to catch your cold.
