Warren (to Reverend Isaac): You have no way of knowing this, but I am usually very, very cool. (edit) Reverend Isaac (to Warren): Last time I mentioned this girl, your face popped out like a blowfish. (edit) Ed (to drunk Dennis): Dennis, listen to me. You and I are not buddies. You and I will never be buddies. (edit) Dennis (drunk, after Ed helps him home): Ed, you are so good. You are so so good. Isn't he so good? (edit) Ed (to Carol): Let me cut to the chase: your boyfriend's an ass. Fry? (edit)

Ed calls himself "Da Quizman" while being nicknamed "Captain Screwup" by Gary's stepfather. (edit) Phil's Scheme: Phil decides to promote a boxing match in Stuckeyville, acting like Don King. He recruits Roy and Carol, two dock workers, to be his boxers. He gives them their own personas: Roy becomes "Deadly Roy", and Carl becomes "The Irish Prince", a Russian born boxing machine.

He promotes the fight as the "Phil Stubbs Weekly Boxing Series" and manages to get a crowd at Stuckeybowl for the fight. Once the fight starts, Roy and Carl lack of skills are clear and Phil is left with an empty house. (edit) $10 Bet: Ed bets Mike to go up to a man at the Smiling Goat and ask for his autograph pretending the man is Kenny Rogers. (edit)
