(about the boy who shot himself)
Michael: Daddy, the gun wasn't yours.
James: Oh it was and don't try to tell me any different.
Michael: But Daddy it's not your gun. Last night I got to thinking, what would you do if you ever really got mad? Hmmm, so I took it.
Florida: You did?
Michael: Yeah, I took it and hid it in that lamp you were fixing. (edit) Florida: Maybe it wasn't your gun.
James: It was my gun, Florida, the kid wouldn't be hurting now if it weren't for me. It was supposed to be for protection but who in God's name did it protect? (edit) Florida: I didn't take the gun, James.
James: Well the gun didn't just get up out of the box and walk away!
J.J.: Maybe a moth ate it...all we'd have to do would be to find a pregnant looking moth. (edit) (trying to figure out who took the gun, all eyes go to J.J.)
J.J.: Don't look at me, my idea of a Saturday night special is getting a girl to say yes to a date who's said no for the last six nights of the week. (edit) Willona: Is that one of those Saturday night specials?
James: Yep.
Willona: I heard they go off if you breathe on them heavy. (edit)

Notice all of the locks on the door in this episode. Did the neighborhood suddenly become safe because after this episode all of the extra locks are never seen again. (edit)
