Stand by Me

As I am used to watching high-energy dramas, this one is really simple. But those teenagers, those conversations made me cry for no reason, and I never made friends as good as the 12-year-old gang. Maybe everyone is like that.

Chris and Gordy's conversation.
K: You will meet a lot of smart new friends.
G: You mean to meet a lot of girls
K: No.
Don't say that, don't think like that.
G: I'm not going to be friends with those girls.
K: Then you are an asshole.
G: What kind of a jerk wants to be with friends?
K: You're an asshole when you let your friends drag you down.
If you mix with us, you'll be a fool.

It's hard to imagine what Gordy would be like without Chris.
But Chris, who is called a bad boy, why are you so honest and kind.


Chris: I'll never get out of this place, can I, Gotti?
Gotti: You can do whatever you want.

Stand by Me quotes

  • Gordie: ...the main guy of the story is a fat kid that nobody likes named Davie Hogan.

    Vern: Like Charlie Hogan's brother. If he had one.

    Chris: Good Vern. Go on, Gordie.

    Gordie: Well this kid is our age but he's fat. Real fat. He weighs close to one-eighty. But you know, it's not his fault. It's his glands.

    Vern: Oh yeah, my cousin's like that, sincerely. She weighs over three hundred pounds! Supposed to be Hyboid Gland or something. Well, I don't know about any Hyboid Glands, but what a blimp! No shit. She looks like a Thanksgiving turkey. And you know this one time...

    Chris: Shut up, Vern.

    Vern: Yeah, yeah, right. Go on, Gordie, it's a swell story.

  • The Writer: [voiceover] It happens sometimes. Friends come in and out of your life, like busboys in a restaurant.
