Staten Island Summer

[first lines]

Danny Campbell:
[narrating] I grew up in Staten Island New York. It might not sound like it, but I did. For those of you who don't know, Staten Island is like Brooklyn and New Jersey had a baby. A baby that would up to be either a cop, or a fireman. And you know, some how it gets a bad rap, but really it's just like any other suburb. I mean, sure it looks like this [tightly packed houses] , and this [store fronts] . But what most people don't realize is that Staten Island also looks like this [ocean front properties] , and this [moored yachts] .

Danny Campbell:
And for me, every single summer since I was old enough to remember looked like this, the Great Kill Swim Club. This is where I spent every waking hour of my summers. From 8 AM swim practice, 'til they threw us out at night, this is where I found friendship. This is where I tasted victory and defeat. Where I fell in love. And it's where I had the best job in the history of the world. I was a lifeguard.

Anthony:
Irish kids develop later, okay. They don't think about sex until they're like 25.

Mary Ellen:
Wow, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life.

Anthony:
It's a biology fact, Mary Ellen, okay. Read a f***in' book.

Mary Ellen:
"Biology fact."

Anthony:
Okay look, first it's Hispanic guys, obviously, then the Black guys, then the Italians, then the French, and then the Irish, all right? And then, probably, like the Asians eventually.

Mary Ellen:
Oh my God, when you join the Navy their collective IQ is gonna drop like 25 points. You're gonna sink our ships.

Anthony:
Hey, if you're love with me, just say you're love with me.

Mary Ellen:
Ms. Greeley, maybe you have had a little too much to drink... like forever

Victor:
All right, ready to do the honors?

Wendell:
Hells to the yeah.

Victor:
Okay, but remember, A.B.C., always be safe. [hands him the flamethrower]

Griffith:
I promised your mom I'd try to scare the crap out of you, 'cause she cuts me a deal on my Valtrex. But honestly, if I had to do it all over again, I'd f***in' ride, man. I would ride the f***in' bike every f***in' day of my life. Okay? Okay? You feel me. [fist bump] No regrets. No regrets. Except the herpes. That I would not do all over again. So put a hat on your bat. Okay?

Danny Campbell:
Hey, if you guys are going to have sex in the pool, can you at least do it over by the filters...

Frank Gomes:
Sinners!

Danny Campbell:
I feel like you're the kind of girl that wants to marry me, but not kiss me.

Krystal Manicucci:
Well, I feel like you're the kind of guy that wants to kiss me, but doesn't want to marry me.

Danny Campbell:
What if we try to be different kinds of people for one night. [they begin to kiss]

Krystal Manicucci:
You know we're not having sex, right?

Danny Campbell:
Oh, I couldn't. I'd be thinking about your dad the whole time.
