Lacey: I was just washing dishes the old-fashioned way, with elbow grease. Customer: You're washing dishes with grease?
Brent: Isn't a skirt a little too la-di-da for a gas station? Wanda: I'm not the one in the powder blue blouse. Brent: It's not a blouse. And it's not powder blue. It's sky blue. Like the sky, where there's jet fighters, and lightning.
Emma: If you're just going to stand there, you might as well help me with these dishes. Brent: Gee, I better not stand here then.
Brent: How do I go about lending you fake money? Oscar:Just pretend to give it to me. Reach up and take 10,000 dollars off the fictional money tree and hand it to me. Brent:But why can't you do that yourself? Did some fictional hooligans steal your make-believe ladder? Oscar: It's against the rules; we can each take ten grand. That's it, that's the rules. Without rules, nothing makes sense. Brent: With rules this makes no sense.
Lacey: Hi Emma, I just stopped by to say sorry for before. And to make it up to you, I brought you a peace pie. Emma: A piece of pie? Lacey: No a peace pie - a pie to make peace. Emma: Well thank you. I guess I did over-react a bit. Mm, sure looks good. Lacey (nodding slowly): Uh-huh. Emma: What? Lacey: Oh, it's nothing. Well, it's just kind of interesting you'll accept this pie from me, which is a $1.50 a piece, or $12 for the whole pie, but you wouldn't accept $20 for helping me with the dishes. Emma: Oh, I see, you're trying to make a point...this isn't a peace pie, it's a point pie. A patronizing point pie.
Oscar: It's not cheating! It's a legal loophole....that's capitalism; that's how it works! If you don't like it, go back to Cuba, ya Commie!
Hank: Is that one of those little electric cars? Brent: Yeah, the guy stopped for free air for his tires, real nice. Oscar: Tiny little thing. Brent: I know, I've got cousins bigger than that thing. That car could wear my cousin's pants.
Customer: There's some dirt at the top of my glass. Lacey: That's why I didn't fill it up all the way.

Wanda (to Brent): And it's not a dress, Mr. Gucci, it's a skirt. Wanda is sarcastically calling Brent "Mr. Gucci" and referring to the Gucci designer clothing line, founded by Guccio Gucci (1881-1953).
Oscar: Electric cars are a fad. I've seen 'em all come and go. Cars that float. Cars that run on manure. Heli-cars. Brent: Heli-cars? What are you, a Bond villain? James Bond is a popular novel hero, created by Ian Flemming in the '60s; many of the books were made into movies as well. James Bond was a spy for the British Government, and always had the latest and sometimes futuristic gadgetry, such as cars that could fly, as Oscar is suggesting.
Brent (to Hank): Yeah, well, if nobody buys gas in the future, then I won't have any cash. Then who ya gonna borrow money from, George Jetson? George Jetson is the patriarch of the The Jetsons, a futuristic cartoon show from the 1960s.
