After Eric agrees to take in a French exchange student (Guy) as a temporary border, no one but Ruthie suspects the young man is actually a con artist.

Eric: (about hosting a foreign exchange student) I'm sorry. I guess I just didn't think it would be a huge inconvenience.
Annie: (shakes her head) I'd like to point out that that's because you're not exactly the one being inconvenienced. By that, I mean the cooking and cleaning part of the deal!
Eric: He's Matt's age. He's a guy. He should be pretty low maintenance.
Annie: Do you have any idea how much a teenage boy eats? And we're already on a tight budget! I can barely handle the laundry as it is without it piling back up to the ceiling by bedtime! Oh, and then there's the little matter of space. Any idea where he's going to sleep?
Eric: Well, Simon and Ruthie really miss being in the same room together.
Annie: No, they don't. (edit) Ruthie: (gets caught snooping in Guy's room) I, uh....thought I lost my Superball in here.
Simon: Nice try, but I don't think it bounced into Guy's closed suitcase. (edit) Simon: I'm not getting involved. If you're old enough to smoke, then you're old enough to light it yourself.
Ruthie: I can't. I'm not allowed to play with matches.
Simon: You're not allowed to smoke either, Einstein!
Ruthie: Yeah, but I like learning stuff the hard way.
Simon: Why?
Ruthie: Because then I remember it longer.
Simon: Yeah, well, if you smoke enough to get sick, you'll remember it for the rest of your life.
Ruthie: Exactly! (holds out cigarettes) You know you want one. (edit) Annie: He is kind of cute and charming.
Eric: Um, did you say cute?
Annie: Uh, yes, cute. That could be a problem, though.
Eric: What kind of problem?
Annie: We have two teenage girls in this house! (edit) Matt: So, does Mom know about this yet?
Annie: Does Mom know about what?
Eric: Hi, honey.
Annie: Hi.
Ruthie: Daddy says we're gonna have a change student who eats snails come to live with us.
Annie: (laughs) Oh, I don't think so, honey.
Eric: No, what Ruthie meant to say was a "foreign exchange student". (edit)

Response to last goof: Simon and Ruthie got very sick after smoking Guy's cigarettes. They were throwing up as I recall. Also, Simon didn't get on the exchange student chatroom until Annie came in. And it makes sense for Eric to be on the same chat because I doubt there are too many chatrooms on housing foreign exchange students.
(edit)
On the chat room that Simon and Annie were on. How would Eric be on that type of chat room? There are tons of different ones. And if he was wouldn't he have noticed Simon before Annie came in? And how would they know if that was Rev Camden. It could have been anyone. And how could the 2 Asian boys continue using Annie's name when she just walks away from the computer? When the kids smoked, wouldn't they feel a lot sicker?
(edit)
Guy: I'll always have Glen Oak.
Since Guy is from France, this is obviously a play on words with the famous term "I'll always have Paris". (edit)
