Quote from Eric

[circle:]
Hyde: So, Forman, man, I'm sorry about tonight with Donna. [eats chicken] And for taking your dinner. So, are we cool, man?
Eric: Yeah, man. We've gotta be. Look, we've been friends since kindergarten. No girl's gonna come between us.
Hyde: That's great, man. So, um, if Donna ever breaks up with you and starts dating me, are we still friends?
Eric: [laughs] No. [eats chicken]
