Quote: "Archie disliked violence;  most of his assignment were exercises in the psychological rather than the physical. That's why he got away with so much. The Trinity brothers wanted peace at any price, quiet on the campus, no broken bones. Otherwise, the sky was the limit.
Explanation: In the following paragraph we gain insight about how both the Vigils and the faulty of Trinity work. Archie, believes that getting to a persons mind is the way to really hurt them, rather than beating them up. All that the brothers want is a calm and peaceful environment though if something goes against their plans or expectations they are willing to act on it, whichever way they will. This paragraph also foreshadows what Brother Leon will do at the end of the book.

Quote: "My name is Jerry Renoults and I'm not going to sell the chocolates." He said to the empty apartment. The word and his voice sounded strong and noble.
Explanation: After an unsuccessful phone call with the girl that he had seen on the bus station, he realizes that it did not matter whether she refused him, it was the fact that he had the guts to call her. He soon realizes that he is practically doing the same thing with the chocolate sale. Even though refusing to sell the chocolates is not resulting in a positive development, he is standing up for what he believes and rebelling, showing others that they don't have to follow the Vigils of Brother Leon. Even though the "rebellion" started with a Vigil assignment it developed into more.
3. Quote: You see Carter, people are two things: greedy and cruel. So we have a perfect set up here. the greedy part- a kid pays a buck for a wining a hundred, plus fifty boxes of chocolates. The cruel part- watching 2 guy hit each other, maybe hurting each other, while they r safe in the bleachers.  That's why it works Carter, because we're all bastards."
Explanation: Archie talks about how he knows the raffle will be a success. We learn more about Archie himself and gain yet another reason why hes against physical tormenting the students of Trinity. This also shows how most people are more like Archie, greedy and cruel, rather than like the Goober or Jerry.

Quote: "The tell you to do your own thing, but they don't mean it. They don't want you to do your own thing, not unless it happens to be their thing too. It's a laugh Goober, a fake. Don't disturb the universe, Goober, no matter what the poster says."
Explanation: Jerry finally hits the downfall in the book, he is only truly beaten when he takes everything in. He gives up the refuge and grasps the idea of Archie being unbeatable. Fighting against people like him, is a loss of effort and time, because even though you might not realize that at the begging, your bound to understand that Archie Costello don't go down. By the end of the book, Jerry accepts the Vigils victory.

Quote: "Maybe the black-box will work next time, Archie... Or maybe another kid like Renault will come along."
Explanation: Obie tells Archie, that his luck is about to run out. And that, he is bound to be defeated eventually. Ironically (as it is the end of the book), Archie and Obie are sitting in the same bleachers, as in the beginning of the book. Thinking and debating about the future and past,
