"Shut up. SHUT UP, ART, SHUT UP! God, you dont know when to quit, do you?! Look at me! Im a shell of a man because of you, Art! YOU LEAVE THEM ALONE! GET OFF THEIR CASE ALREADY! They didnt do anything to us! They didnt do anything to us! All right, so theyre different, so they keep to themselves! Can you blame them?! They live next door to people who break into their house and burn it down while theyre gone for the day! Remember what you were saying about people in the burbs, Art? People like Skip? People who mow their lawn for the 800th time, and then SNAP?! WELL, THATS US! ITS NOT THEM, THATS US! WERE the ones who are vaulting over the fences, and peeking in through peoples windows! Were the ones who are throwing garbage in the street, and lighting fires! WERE the ones who are acting suspicious and paranoid, Art! WERE THE LUNATICS! US! ITS NOT THEM! Its us."
