Meatballs - Complicated Feelings About Roxanne
Rudy:
I saw you dancing with Roxanne.
Tripper:
Oh yeah? Well, she sorta cornered me and there was nothing I could do without embarrassing her.
Rudy:
Do you like her?
Tripper:
Well, I feel sorry for her. You know she's got a glass eye. And, uh, I'm one of the few people who knows exactly which eye to look at when they're talking to her, so she's sort of fixated on me.
Rudy:
Well, I like her.
Tripper:
Well you're not exactly known for your taste. I'll probably just use her for the rest of the summer and then throw her on the scrap heap with all the rest of the women that I've destroyed. Uh, I have to go on this overnight. I'm takin the C.I.T.s on an overnight for the next couple days so you're gonna have to do your own training, son. I want you to run two miles today and two and a half tomorrow.
Rudy:
I've never run that far.
Tripper: [holds up a bottle of wine]
Neither have I, but somebody's gotta do it. I can't be expected to do it. Somebody's gotta do it, and it can't be me! Because I'm too busy. I've responsibilities. I'm the entertainment director for the overnight.

Meatballs - A Conversation About Food and Leaving
Tripper: [sees Rudy sitting in a diner both; Waiter brings Tripper his French fries; to Rudy]
Can I have some fries, please? Hey! Gerner. How's it goin'? This is the best damn food in the whole Two Pines area. Not surprised you found this place. I had you pegged for a gourmet first time I met you. You know, that's a smart move bringing a suitcase. You don't wanna be leaving a lot of valuable socks and underwear around camp where people can wrestle around in them when you're out on the town. Thank you. You like ketchup?
Rudy:
I'm going away.
Tripper:
You goin to Vegas? If you're going to Vegas, man, then I would be up for it cause I love that town. I'm a party guy, I love that town.
Rudy:
I don't think they want me around.
Tripper:
You talking about the soccer-heads back there? Well, that's life in the fast-paced, slam-bang, live-on-the-razor's-edge, laugh-in-the-face-of-death world of junior league soccer.
Rudy:
I'm serious, I've never played the game before! I tried to tell them.
Tripper:
What? You tried to tell... and they... Who was it? I'll get em. I'll get em with this Swiss army knife. The Swiss trained me to kill and I will do it; I will grab these guys by the neck, take the toothpick and stick it right in between their teeth! And then I'll slap them around the head a couple of times. They'll go out for just a couple of seconds, they'll be unconscious and what I'll do then, I'll go for the corkscrew. And I'll grap em and I will take that corkscrew and I will stick it right into the voicebox. I will twist that mofo, I will twist it, rip it out and he'll talk like this for the rest of his life!
Rudy:
I don't wanna hurt anyone. I just want them to like me.
Tripper:
Why? You make one good friend a summer and you're doing pretty well. Look, if you have trouble, come to me, tell me, and I'll help you.
