Randy is angry when Brad joins the school newspaper and launches a tawdry gossip column.

Quote from Wilson

Wilson: Well, hidy-ho, Taylor-teen.
Randy: Oh hey, Wilson.
Wilson: Shouldn't you be putting those newspapers in the recycling bin?
Randy: Nah, thanks to Hey Yo, this paper is definitely trash.
Wilson: Oh, I take it you didn't like Brad's article.
Randy: Did you read it?
Wilson: Yes, he gave a copy of it to me a few moments ago.
Randy: I'm surprised he didn't frame it for you.
Wilson: Well, actually, he did.

Quote from Brad

Brad: So, um, what are you planning on writing about next?
Randy: You know, I haven't really thought about it. Still kind of coming down from my last article.
Brad: Yeah, it was pretty intense.
Randy: You actually read it?
Brad: Yeah, I read it. I didn't really understand what I was reading, but, I can definitely tell you are a talented writer.
Randy: Thanks. Maybe one day we can combine our talents and write something together. Hey Yo, did you see what Ralph Nader wore to the latest EPA conference?
Brad: Well, if he's got jock itch, we've got a story.

Quote from Tim

Al: Well, this particular condominium is part of the estate of the late Mrs. Wallis Danforth.
Tim: Late? Heck, I bet she doesn't even show up.
Al: Tim, Mrs. Danforth is dead.
Tim: Mmm. That would explain the tardiness then, wouldn't it? Well, I guess we'll just go on without her.
Al: That's right.
Tim: As will Mr. Danforth.
Al: Tim.
Tim: With a swinging bachelor pad, he's gonna have big parties. Woo-hoo!

Quote from Tim

Al: Now, before you take out any wall, you want to make sure that it's non-load bearing.
Tim: The simplest way to do that is check out your blueprints. We found out this wall is non-load bearing, so we're gonna rip it out. And the safest, quickest way, is using a claw hammer.
Heidi: And to handle our debris, we'll be using this trash chute. It goes directly down to the dumpster below.
Al: Good thing to remember: One square foot of wall equals one cubic foot of debris. Remember that when reserving a dumpster.
Tim: Thank you "Humpty-Dumpster."
Al: All right. Now, we also have these buckets here for easy cleanup. Tim, do you have to make such a mess?
Tim: No, I don't have to, but I want to. I really, really, want to.

Quote from Tim

Jill: Guess what? I have a surprise for you.
Tim: [grunts] Oh, I love surprises.
Jill: We're being audited.
Tim: [grunts] I hate surprises.

Quote from Tim

Jill: They want all of your business receipts from three years ago.
Tim: They do?
Jill: Yeah.
Tim: These guys are nosy. Who do they think they are?
Jill: They're the IRS. They can take away your possessions, your house, cars...
Tim: Ah-ah. No, no, no. I love my country, but no feds are touching my cars. How are we set with ammo?

Quote from Tim

Brad: I talked to my college advisor, she said I need more extracurricular activities.
Tim: Well, you can help me and your mom start our own country.

Quote from Randy

Randy: At the end of my article I will introduce data from the EPA and the DEP.
Brian: Now will that data include the number of people who fall asleep reading the data?
Randy: You know, Brian, I thought you'd take a bit more interest in mutation, seeing as how you are one.
Lauren: Randy, don't stoop to his level. Let me. You're a geek.

Quote from Brad

Matt: So, Brad, have you thought about what you want to write?
Brad: Yeah. I wanna do something on sports and stuff.
Randy: That'd be great if our paper were called News and Junk.
Matt: What specifically did you have in mind?
Brad: Articles on Lakeside High sports, like the locker room buzz. I was thinking we could get workout tips from our athletes, and I'd ask them important questions like "Hey yo, so what do you look for in a babe?" So that's my idea.
Brian: And it sounds really cool.
Matt: It has some promise.

Quote from Randy

Brad: Hey, yo. So, did you ever think I'd be working with you on this newspaper?
Randy: Hey, no.
