So, what about World War two? What about Nazi Facism? There were a lot of Satan's followers walking the earth then, and the world didn't end.
Eddie
It's all those chemicals in your body. They're DANGEROUS man! They mess you UP!
Heroine Bob
Bob was like that. A real asshole when it came to reading into things. He liked to wrap things up into neat little packages that implied the world.
Stevo
But this fall was going to be the fall alright. Bob and the rest of us had made a note to do absolutely nothing. We were going to waste our educated minds–we had no other way of fighting. As I said, there just weren’t enough of us.
Stevo
Dad, you and I have got to work on your definition of good news.

Eddie wasn't an anarchist, he wasn't really even a punk. Eddie was into Women. But not in a macho jerky kinda way, right, he was a true romantic. He had his ass beat several times for being gay, which, he was not. Imagine: fag bashing without all the benefits.
Stevo
If looking the way we did in Utah was unusual, in the state of Wyoming (affectionately called the Cowboy State) we were fucking aliens.
Stevo
I like Sandy. Now Sandy has nothing to do with anarchy in general, she's just a beautiful, wonderful, funnny, witty, loving, sexy, tough-as-nails, little weird girl, and I absolutely adore her. I like Sandy a lot.
Stevo
Poseurs are people that look like punks, but they did it for fashion. And they were fools, they'd say, "Anarchy in the UK". See? Poseurs. What good is that to those of us in Utah, America? You don't live your life by lyrics.
Stevo
I didn't sell out son, I bought in.
Stevo's Father
He takes after his father. He's a real son of a bitch.
Stevo's Mother
Stevo’s Mother: He takes after his father. He’s a real son of a bitch. Stevo’s Father: Fuck you dear.
So Heroin Bob was named as such 'cause he was afraid of needles, but you know not just needles, the guy was afraid of drugs too. We couldn't even get him to take a damn asprin. He drank, and he smoked cigarettes, but that was it.

To be an anarchist in Salt Lake City was certainly no easy task, especially in 1985. And having no money, no job, no plans for the future, the true anarchist position, was in itself a strenuous job.
Stevo
Stevo (To his father driving up on the street): You couln't afford me, old man.
Stevo
What can I say? We weren’t much more than a couple of young punks.
Stevo
What do you do when your foundation falls apart? I don't know. They don't teach you that in school.
Stevo
You couldn't afford me, old man.
Stevo
You see life is like that...we change, that's all. You see, the guy I am now, is not the guy I was then. If the guy I was then met the guy I am now, he'd beat the shit out of me. Those are the facts.
Stevo
I am.. an ant.. waiting to be squashed by you.
