      • Wanda: What's that stuff? Brent: It's one of those new energy drinks. Wanda: Scamola. Brent: Nope, it's called "Haywire".

      • (reading the list of ingredients in the energy drink) Wanda: There's no scientific evidence that any of this boosts energy. Brent: Yeah, well, there's no scientific evidence behind Voodoo either, but go explain zombies.

      • Oscar: I promised the School Board I'd fill in for the school bus driver. Emma: Why on earth would they pick you? Oscar: Oh, who knows? (cut to....) Fitzy: The bus driver, Clarance, is sick. Here's a list of people qualified to take his place. Here's another list of people who aren't qualified at all. Now don't go mixing these up.

      • Davis: It was a lucky shot; you hit my sciatic nerve. Karen: Your sciatic nerve is in your jaw? Davis: They're all connected... right, Brent? Brent: Your jaw and your hip are connected, yes, via the torso. Karen: Well, somebody took biology in high school! Brent: I took it seven or eight times.

      • Brent: You're drinking Haywire? I thought you said that was stupid. Wanda: No, I said you were stupid; I said this was fraudulent. But it's tasty!

      • Hank: I'm in the advertising business. Lacey: Oh. Hank: It hit me last night, I should be in the advertising business. Maybe because I was watching a Bewitched marathon on TV. Lacey: Oh, right, 'cause Darrin was in advertising. Hank: No, I just really liked the way they advertised the marathon.

      • Hank: Is your eye twitching? Wanda: No. Brent: Yeah, it is. That's 'cause you're loaded on Haywire. You're all zipped up on the H. Wanda: It's got nothing to do with this crap. I just haven't been eating enough zinc lately. I just need to eat some more broccoli, a few more pumpkin seeds. (they stare at her) Quit gawking at me!

      • Davis: You think I can't back you up? Karen: Let's just keep this quiet... these things have a way of getting out. (Emma walks by with her groceries) Karen: Hey Emma! I knocked out Davis. One little bump, good night Sally! (to Davis) See? Now it's out there.

      • (Brent is scraping gum off the floor) Wanda: Hey, Brent, whatcha doin? Brent: Who just tosses chewed gum on the floor? Wanda: Yeah, people can be pigs sometimes that's for sure tossing their crap all over the place. Pigs! Piggy piggy people, pigs! Brent: How many of those Haywire drinks have you had? Wanda: Oh, one, two, three, ...four, five... why am I counting again?

      • Hank: Please, Lacey, make me an offer. I'll take anything you got... anything! Lacey: Okay, I'll give you 20 dollars. Hank: What? That's insulting, that's a slap in the face. Lacey: No, it isn't. I could give you an actual slap in the face, and show you the difference. Hank: Twenty's good.

      • Oscar: All right, listen up. Your regular driver, Clarence, has gone home sick. I don't know what you psychos did to him, but they called in the cavalry! That's right... there's a new sheriff in town, and his name is "Yes, Sir!" And he doesn't put up with any of your punk shenanigans! Student #1 (raising hand): Um, excuse me, Mr. Sir. But, could you tell us what a 'shenanigan' is, so we can avoid that? Oscar: Funny you should ask, 'cause that's a shenanigan. Put your nose against the window! Student #1: Pardon me? Oscar: Window. Nose. Now. Student #2 (to another student): I'm confused... is he the cavalry, or the sheriff?

      • Emma: Is Wanda inside the cooler? Brent: Yeah. She's cleaning it. She's got a bunch of excess energy 'cause she's all jacked up on Haywire. Wanda: No, I'm not! Brent: Hmm. Gave her super hearing too.

      • Oscar: All right, let's have it! Student #1: Have what? Oscar: The booze! Student #2: What's booze? Student #1: The stuff they warned us about in Church Camp.

      • (Karen comes in looking dishevelled) Davis: Where were you? Karen: Oh, I just went for a run. You know, though some back yards, over some fences.

      • (Wanda is digging frantically in Emma's yard) Brent: Yo, Zippy! Time to get back to your job! Wanda: It's a nice day, Brent! I like working outside the sun is shining and the birds are singing and the sky is bleeding and the grass is screaming! I want to stay here!

      • Karen (into the phone): I'll be right there. Davis: You'll be right where? Where will you be? Karen: Oh, just taking care of some uh, you know, personal stuff, with my cousin, who's in town for some family things, and uh,... where's the riot gear? Davis: In the trunk. (Karen runs out) But this better not be a call!

      • Lacey: Okay, I give up, I can't chase you around all day. I want to get back to The Ruby and have something to eat. Hank: There's the power of advertising right there. I mean, you could sell any kind of crap with a well-placed ad. (cut to... a shot of the season 4 "Corner Gas" DVD set) Announcer's Voice: Season Four of Corner Gas. Now available on DVD.

      • (after explaining his 'evil plan') Brent: All in all, it meant mucho de mayo for the evil genius; me. Lacey: 'De Mayo' means 'May', Genius, and for the record, I paid Hank 20 dollars, you 10 dollars, and with all the extra traffic, I came out with a profit of over 400 dollars, which means mucho denero for me Hank: De Niro's an actor, Genius.

      • Rob Van Meenan (credited as Rob Van Meenen) was listed in the credits as playing the Bus Driver. However, the bus driver is never seen in this episode, as he's sick. The character that Rob Van Meenan played was the man, possibly from the school board, who was given the task of finding a new bus driver by Fitzy.

    • ALLUSIONS (1)

      ADD ALLUSIONS
      • Oscar: This title's misleading. Are they going to kill a mockingbird or not? The book Oscar is reading is To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, published in 1960.
