Eric: Hey, dad. Do you mind closing up the store for me tonight. I got a date with sweet Sinda.
Alan: Why do you talk like that. Why can't you just say the young ladies name; Cindy.
Eric: Because, her name's Sinda. (edit)
Frankie: I am here with a heavy heart to reveal that somebody has something he would like to return to you.
(Herman steps up and pulls a shampoo bottle from behind his back)
Chet: Of all the valuable things we have in this trailer, and you steal our shampoo? What kind of little weird thief are you?
Herman: I am sorry for my transgression, and the betrayal of your trust. With that said, I return your "Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific".
Chet: You used some, didn't you?
Herman: I am shame faced. (edit)
Chet: Uh-oh.
Shawn: What's the matter?
Chet: Boy, I could never lie to you. So I'll just tell you the truth. Your momma exploded. (edit)
(Cory is leaving the motel room)
Virna: Shawn's got a good friend.
Cory: Yeah, well; he's got a good mom too. Lucky guy. (edit)
Frankie (to his brother): If I do not outrun the trucks, here's my watch. It is a little slow. I hope I am not. (edit)
