Dave: If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go on the roof.
Vicky: Hey, I don't want you going up there to smoke pot.
Dave: Oh, I'm not. I'm going to throw myself off it. (edit)
Vicky: I want to just say I am really proud that you actually stopped smoking pot.
Dave: Thank you. I appreciate that. But I'm letting you know right now, I'm not doing anything about my sex addiction.
Vicky: If you're not proof that drugs kill brain cells, I don't know what is. (edit)
Dave: For your information, I quit smoking the pot.
Larry: What, are you baking it into brownies now? (edit)
Hillary: Hey, why'd you ask him that?
Mike: Well, I think a guy might have been hitting on me. Maybe. I'm not exactly sure.
Hillary: Well, it's not that big of a deal. Just tell him it's not your thing, and you're not interested.
Mike: Um... it's a little bit more complicated than that. He's, uh... kind of an older man.
Hillary: Oh... ew!
Mike: And technically... he's a priest.
Hillary: A priest, huh? Well, in that case, yes, he was definitely hitting on you. (edit)
Mike: Larry, I cannot believe you got kicked out of school. I'm so impressed with you.
Hillary: Yeah, I mean, for years I thought you were the biggest dork on the planet, and now this. It's like I have a brand-new brother.
Larry: For your information, that pot wasn't mine. I've never smoked pot a day in my life and I never will.
Hillary: And there's the brother we all know and don't really love. (edit)

Allusions

Dave makes reference twice to the "kenna-hurra" when talking to Vicky early in the episode. The Yiddishism "kaynahora" (there are many spelling variations) is roughly similar to "knock on wood" and is often spoken to ward off a jinx after praise or good news. Spitting three times is considered to help ward off jinx as well, though the spitting is usually done between the index and middle finger (see the end of the dream sequence in "Fiddler on the Roof" to see spitting between the fingers).

The expression can be broken down as follows:

Kein is German (and Germanic) for "without."
Ayin is Hebrew for "eye."
Hara is Hebrew for "(the) evil." ["Ha" is an article in Hebrew and the adjective follows the subject, unlike in English.] (edit)
