Scene ini, bagi saya ajaib, terutama dialognya. Lagi dan lagi dari film Stand by Me (1986), film yang seumuran denganku. Kebetulan hari ini sedang berulang tahun, saya sebenarnya tak suka merayakan, justru akhir-akhir ini ingin memberi hadiah-hadiah kecil ke beberapa teman. Dan yang satu ini, spesial buat HAQRAH DEWI SAFYTRA. Seperti pesan Chris Chambers kepada Gordie Lachance, agar dia tetap percaya dan yakin akan jadi penulis nantinya.

I know how your dad feels about you, he doesn't care about you.
Denny was the one he cared about, and don't try to tell me different.
You're just a kid, Gordie.
GL : Gee thanks, Dad.
CC : I wish to hell I was your dad.
You wouldn't be talking about taking these stupid shop courses if I was.
It's like God gave you something, man, all those stories that you can make up.
He said, "This is what we got for you. Try not to lose it".
Kids Iose everything unless there's someone there to look out for them.
If your parents are too fucked-up to do it, then maybe I should.
