Can someone quote me from Powder?


There is a scene when Powder's classmate takes his hat, and saying the same things his stepfather told him when he took his real father's hat.

I would be glad if someone would tell me the dialogue beetwen Powder and his classmate.

Thanks in advance!

Guy: Why don't you take a picture, man? Hey, Skye! Does this look like a genius to you? Peeping Tom f@gg0t, maybe. You were gettin' an eyeful of him, weren't you, light bulb? You want to see what a real man looks like? Huh? You think you can take me, freak show, go for it. In the meantime...I keep the hat.
When you think you're man enough
to get it back, you take your best shot.

Powder: You think you're man enough to get it back? You take your best shot, tough stuff.

Guy: What did you say?

Powder: I'd beat you to Sh!t before you got this old hat back. That's what he said to you when he was drunk. You were 12 years old, and he took your father's hat. It's the only thing your real father ever left behind. Your stepdad, John.
That's what he said to you. "You think you're man enough to get it back? Then take your best shot, tough stuff." And then he beat you bloody that night when you tried.

Guy: Hey, fvck you!

Powder: You had marks so dark, you were embarrassed to suit up for gym.

Guy: I ought to kill you right now, man. I ought to slit your throat and
spit down it while I'm doing it.

Thanks for your kind and prompt answer.

It's a heartbreaking movie, one of my favourite.

Saw it yesterday. Good movie. It gives a very good message about human nature. A bit underrated.
