Benny Miller
I penetrate people's brains and leave my mind blank.
I feel like a tin can with a dog's tail tied to it.
Dialogue
Benny Miller: Do you mind if I have a piece of candy while I wait on you?
Hazel Temple Morrison: Aren't you worried you're going to wear your teeth down to the bones?
Benny Miller: What?
Hazel Temple Morrison: You ate three packages of cracker jacks, two bags of peanuts, one of those red gooey apples on a stick, and three chocolate malked milkshakes.
Benny Miller: And don't forget the banana split, with a lot of fruit on it!
T.S. Chandler: Don't tell me, let me guess, he took the shirt off your back.
Benny Miller: Took my pants too.
T.S. Chandler: Did you ever go to school, stupid?
Benny Miller: Yes, sir, and I came out the same way.
