So my wife and I go out to Fazoli's last night. I pull up and park right in front of the door because it's only about 5:00 PM (no early bird special comments plz). Two teens are walking in the door as we pull in. Here's the conversation that occurred:
(teen #1 - blond scruffy looking skinny kid, baggy pants that he's walking on- shirts, yes plural, hanging down to about his knees, hair sticking out every which way from grubby hat which is worn backwards): "Dude, you, like, think you're a cop or something?"
(Me): "No."
(teen #2 - mirror image of teen #1 except reverse colors to dark shirts and light colored hat, but this one is worn the "right way"): "You think that <points at MM> all black makes your car look fast?"
(Me): "No."
(teen #2): "You gotta spice that up with somethin' to give it some attitude!"
(Me): "Nope."
(teen #1): "How fast is it?"
(Me:) "Faster than that." <pointing to purple Chevy Cavalier with bleacher seat wing that they are headed from - educated guess>
(teen #1): "Not EVEN close."
(Me): <snicker> "Go right on thinking that."
(teen #2): "Dude, you wouldn't even come, like, within a 1/4 mile of us!" (sorry, I'm just repeating the words as best I remember them, I make no claims on coherence)
(Me): <laughing> "Yeah, I'll bet." <turn to go order food as we are very hungry>
(teen #1): "Let's go for a ride then!"
(Me): <holding door open> "Call me when you get about 150-200 more horsepower, kids. Right now you're neither fast nor furious!" <door closes amid several remarks about my age, some kind of trip I am going on, or something - I didn't catch it all>
Apologies to whoever I stole that quote from, but I have been dying to use it lately!
They did stick around looking at the car for a minute or so while we were in line ordering, though. I saw one of them mouthing "Ma-raud-er. WTF is that?"
As we order, my wife looks at me and says "I'm suprised you're still here!"
I reply "Those little ones weren't worth the effort. Now, let me get you something." (points for naming the movie reference)
They didn't say anything else to me during the meal. Thankfully they sat across the restaurant.
I know it didn't end the way you all probably wanted it to, but it was a very cool conversation as far as comebacks go. Here's a camera phone pic of their car I took as we were leaving:
Thanks,
