Quote from Kitty

Kitty: Eric, just because there has been a tragedy in the family it's no reason to act crazy. My son getting in a bar fight like... like some kind of bar-fighter.
Red: Kitty, stop cooking and go to bed.
Kitty: Okay, all right. When the timer goes off one of you better take that roast out of the oven or there will be hell to pay.

[The scene fades to black as the minister closes Bernice's eyelids]

Quote from Eric

Eric: Hey.
Donna: Oh, God, you got a black eye. It looks pretty hot.
Eric: Well, you should see the other guy.
Donna: Did you really lay him out?
Eric: No, I mean, he was huge. I mean, you should have seen him. The fact that I even took the punch is a testament to how tough I really am. [Eric groans as Donna hugs him and grazes his black eye]
Donna: Sorry.
Eric: Look, Donna, I'm sorry about the other night. I was acting crazy and I'm completely over it now. I mean, you can't dwell on these things.
Donna: So you had a heart-to-heart with Red?
Eric: Hell, no.
Donna: So you're still just suppressing everything.
Eric: Sure beats dealing with it now, right? [chuckles] Yeah. Hug?
