Al: Me or Cindy Crawford? Mandy: Cindy. Al: Me or Phyllis Diller? Mandy: Phyllis. Al: Me or Marge Schott? Mandy: You. But the whole time we'd be doing it, I'd be thinking of Phyllis Diller.
(Al is talking to Marcy's cousin Mandy) Al: it was summer camp, wasn't it? You sprained a muscle skinny dipping. And the beautiful blonde counsellor - let's call her Betty - carried you back to her cabin and gave you a massage. And before you knew it, you were a love slave in an all-girl sex cult. Mandy: Yeah, that's what happened. You saw that in a video, didn't you.
