Lord of the Flies - 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: [Jack walks towards him with his spear]
I do! Piggy can't see! If you wanted to have a fire, all you had to do was ask!
Jack: [whacks his spear onto Ralph's]
I don't have to ask!
Piggy: [blows the conch again]
I've got the conch! Let me speak!
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: [as the other boys are still berating him]
What I wanna say is...if we don't get rescued...we might have to live here for a long time!
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: [Ralph still looks at him, shocked as he does so; picks up a rock and chucks it towards Ralph]
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!

Lord of the Flies - 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: [offscreen]
We should be hunting pigs.
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: [pumping a fist in the air]
YEAH!
Peter: [Ralph looks at him]
Sir? Are we ever going home?
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: [to Peter]
Don't listen to him. We will be rescued, Peter, honest.

Lord of the Flies - 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: [to Piggy]
Shut up! Everybody just shut up! It's just cause you're new.
Piggy:
No it's not. It's always this way.
Ralph:
Just cut it out, okay?!
