Stephanie Dees: Margaret

Quotes 

• Lanny : I think somebody broke into Pete's house!

  Scott Carpenter : Are you sure?

  Lanny : No, but I left Eldon there to watch.

  Scott Carpenter , Margaret Miller : Eldon?

  Lanny : Could you see me sending him for help?

  Scott Carpenter : Well, that's a good point.

  Lanny : I promised him a big chocolate milkshake if he would just stay there.

• Margaret Miller : I came to collect on that favor you owe me.

  Lanny : You owe *her* a favor?

  Eldon Flowers : That's worse than dog breath!

  Scott Carpenter : Very funny!

• Regina : I heard Scott talking to Dad about Pete being in a gang, and I heard Pete say that he stole from Mr. Graff.

  Margaret Miller : So that's why he wanted to borrow my report.

  Regina : What should I do?

  Margaret Miller : Well, what you need now is more proof of what Pete's been doing. Maybe some of your friends could help you follow him.

  Regina : Why should we do that?

  Margaret Miller : Because the ButterCream Gang can't do everything.

• Margaret Miller : Pete's been picking on little kids, stealing from Mr. Graff, and Regina and her friends say they've seen him doing all sorts of different things. This is serious, Scott. I think you need to do something.

  Scott Carpenter : Well, what am I supposed to do?

  Margaret Miller : Stand up to him. You're the only one he'll listen to.

  Scott Carpenter : Okay, I'll talk to him. See you, Margaret.

  Margaret Miller : Not so fast. You still owe me that favor.

  Scott Carpenter : I thought talking to Pete was the favor.

  Margaret Miller : No, that's just the right thing to do. The favor is you have to take me to the dance. Pick me up at seven and don't be late.

  Scott Carpenter : But...

  Eldon Flowers : Hey! Pick her up at seven and don't be late!

• Scott Carpenter : What's this?

  Margaret Miller : It's a picture of a gang in Chicago. I'm doing an extra credit report on inner-city gangs.

  Eldon Flowers : Another report? Margaret, you already got an A. Why do you torture us?

  Scott Carpenter : They look pretty mean.

  Margaret Miller : That's because they're a real gang, not like you guys.

  Eldon Flowers : I hope Pete doesn't run into them.

• Margaret Miller : Look, if you don't want to go to the dance with me, that's fine! I don't want you to feel obligated!

  Scott Carpenter : No, I really want to go to the dance with you.

  Margaret Miller : You do? Why?

  Scott Carpenter : Well, I've never seen you look so pretty before.

• Scott Carpenter : What's going on? What happened?

  Baseball Coach : It's about Pete.

  Mr. Turner : I got a letter from his aunt today.

  Mr. Carpenter : I just want you to know, son, it doesn't always turn out this way.

  Scott Carpenter : What happened?

  Margaret Miller : I'm really proud of you. You did the right thing.

  Scott Carpenter : Will someone please tell me what's going on?

  Mr. Carpenter : Mr. Turner, I think we ought to have the reverend read that letter.

  Baseball Coach : [reading]  "Dear Mr. Turner, I know I haven't written since last year when I told you that Pete was coming back to town to stay for the summer. I was reading the paper today when I saw his name in the article included. I guess it's pretty self-explanatory." Scott, why don't you read this?

  Scott Carpenter : [reading]  "Today at two o'clock, the mayor of Chicago honored, for the first time in the city's history, a member of a gang. That gang member was Pete Turner. Mr. Turner's gang is rather unusual. Mr. Turner tells his gang, 'If you accept yourself for who you are and truly love others, a lot of good will happen.' This gang, which only a few months ago was typical of those found in the area, refuses to fight or participate in any illegal activities and instead devotes much of their time to helping and serving the community around them."

• Margaret Miller : Two papers in one day? You are an anteater, aren't you? To what do I owe this unexpected surprise?

  Scott Carpenter : Pete. My dad made it sound so easy in his story, but in real life, it's a lot harder.

  Margaret Miller : Maybe it isn't supposed to be easy.

  Scott Carpenter : I wouldn't mind if it would make a difference, but Pete's just getting worse.

• Margaret Miller : Guys, I've been thinking.

  Scott Carpenter : About what?

  Margaret Miller : Well, now there's a Chicago chapter of the ButterCream Gang.

  Eldon Flowers : Yeah, so?

  Lanny : I think it's cool.

  Margaret Miller : But there's another change the ButterCreamers need to make.

  Scott Carpenter : And what's that?

  Margaret Miller : I think it's time for the ButterCream Gang to have a girl member.
