How you doing, Pete?

We've met before, haven't we?

I don't think so. Where is it you think we've met?

At your house. Don't you remember?
Pete
No. No, I don't.

In the east — the far east — when a person is sentenced to death, they're sent to a place where they can't escape, never knowing when an executioner may step up behind them and fire a bullet into the back of their head.
Pete
What's going on?
Mystery Man
It's been a pleasure talking to you.
Mr. Eddy
Pete, I just wanted to jump on and say I'm really glad you're doing okay.
Calling an Assembly with the Conch
Roger
Halt! Who goes there!
Ralph
Don't be stupid, you know who we are! We brought the conch and I'm calling an assembly! Where's Jack?!
Jack
What do you want now?!
Ralph
You heard me! We brought the conch and I'm calling an assembly!
Jack
Why don't you two just fuck off?! This is my end and my tribe! Keep to your own end!
Ralph
You're the one that won't keep to your own end! Tearing up our camp and stealing Piggy's glasses! You've gotta give em back!
Jack
Got to?! Who says?!
Ralph
I do! Piggy can't see! If you wanted to have a fire, all you had to do was ask!
[Jack walks towards him with his spear]
Jack
I don't have to ask!
[whacks his spear onto Ralph's]
Piggy
I've got the conch! Let me speak!
[blows the conch again]
Tony
Get out of here, Piggy!
Ralph
Stop that, Roger! Let Piggy speak!
Piggy
Please! This is serious!
Tony
Get out, fat ass.
Luke
Go away.
Tony
Go back to your own camp!
Piggy
What I wanna say is...if we don't get rescued...we might have to live here for a long time!
[as the other boys are still berating him]
Tony
Shut up!
Piggy
Maybe the rest of our lives!
Piggy
If we are stuck here until we get old, then we can't go on acting like kids!
Piggy
We've gotta be sensible and make things work!
Ralph
NOOOO!!!!!
Ralph
You're not gonna get away with this.
Jack
Yeah? And what are you gonna do? Huh? What are you gonna do about it? You're out of it pal, you're on your own!
[Ralph still looks at him, shocked as he does so; picks up a rock and chucks it towards Ralph]

Ray Gauquin
No more beer for Linda. Doubles for Jack - he's gonna be a father!

I'm getting too old for this shit.
Lenny Richter
Why do they always have to be on the 12th floor? Why can't they be on the 4th?
Conflict Over Authority and Respect
Jack
Whats the matter, tits?! Were you afraid to bring it with you? Anyway the conch doesn't count anymore, Miss Piggy-tits!

Stop that!

Nobody's interested in you and your fucking conch! Why don't you take your fat friend and shove off! You've had all the meat you can eat! Come on, hunters! Roger's the pig!
Power Struggle Among Rivals
Ralph
Face it, Jack, you fucked up! We could've been rescued!
Jack
Back off, man! I'm sick of your shit and so's my gang!
Ralph
Your gang? What's that supposed to mean?
Jack
What it means, Colonel, is that if you know what's good for you you'll stop trying to run everything!
Call for Discipline and Responsibility
Ralph
The reason I'm calling this assembly is, too much people are screwing around when they should be working. I mean there's a bunch of things. Some kids don't even know when to use the bathroom.
Tony
Yeah. There's this one kid, the other day he took a shit in his pants and then sat in it! I'm not naming names because it's possible, Mikey couldn't help it!
Piggy
Everybody shut those goddamn mouths! Ralph's got the conch!
Ralph
All I mean is we have to have more discipline, and more spearfishing. We've gotta have real food.
Rapper
We should be hunting pigs.
[offscreen]
Ralph
That's all I got to say. Anyone else want the conch?
Luke
Some jerk-off stole my pocketknife.
Steve
Yeah, things are disappearing all over.
Will
What are we gonna do with thieves when we catch em?
Tony
Shove their dick in the conch!
Sam
Put a stick up their butt! Ram it in there!
Ralph
Okay, okay! We can't have kids stealing and just running wild. We're gonna have to have stricter rules. And hand out demerits, I guess.
Roger
Demerits?
Rapper
Demerits for grand larceny?
Will
Eat shit and die!
Jack
YEAH!
[pumping a fist in the air]
Peter
Sir? Are we ever going home?
[Ralph looks at him]
Ralph
Of course we are. As soon as they see our signal.
Peter
Jack says that we're never gonna be rescued.
Ralph
No, you misunderstood him, that's not what he meant.
Jack
That's exactly what I meant. There's eight million islands out here. Why should they find this one?
Ralph
Don't listen to him. We will be rescued, Peter, honest.
[to Peter]
Survival and Despair in Isolation
Jack
You better start learning to live with yourself, because we ain't gonna get rescued.
Piggy
What are you talking about?
Jack
Just being logical. A plane goes down in the middle of the ocean, there's no wreckage; who's gonna find us?
Piggy
Why don't you just shut up?
Jack
Are you telling me to shut up?
Piggy
What we need around here is positive people, not people trying to scare people!
Jack
What we don't need around here is you, shitbrain!
Sam
His name's not shitbrain! It's Piggy!
Jack
Yeah Piggy!
Ralph
Shut up! Everybody just shut up! It's just cause you're new.
[to Piggy]
Piggy
No it's not. It's always this way.
Ralph
Just cut it out, okay?!

Rodge, you okay, man? That was some jump.

I got him. Right up his ass.

Up the ass!
Eric
Get him, get him, get him!
Will
Hey, come on, cut it out!
Ralph
Stop it!
Will
You dorks, it hurt!
Sam
I know it hurt.
