Old Steve, boy. He always said you'd be somebody and I bought it, too. If that's the way Steve wanted it that's the way it was going to be. Even after he told me he wasn't my dad. Once I knew the full score, I understood why he treated you just a little bit better than me. Okay? I said it, you know. I said, I'll just hang around for the leftovers, like a dog. That's how much I loved him. Like a goddamn dog.

Ritchie Valens:
Nobody told you to throw your life away man! I'm only sorry I didn't say something about you being drunk half the time. You did it to yourself!

Listen to you, coming in here like you own the whole goddamn country. To me you'll always be that little asshole who followed me around in the sticks.
Ritchie Valens:
Yeah, I followed you around man. I followed you around cause I thought you were somebody... then!
