Tristan: Samuel! Samuel, come here! Run along now. Go with Pet. Get him in the house! John T. O'Banion: He's a fine boy. You know we're not here to arrest you. Tristan: You take me to the woods. I don't want my boy to see. I don't want my boy to see....

Tristan: You guys look like a bunch of ice-cream cones!
