Red is angry when Bob decides to throw a competing Veterans Day barbecue. Meanwhile, Jackie tries to make Hyde jealous.

Quote from Hyde

Jackie: So, Steven. Would you like to go to Mr. Forman's barbecue with me?
Hyde: No. As a matter of fact, I don't want to go anywhere with you.
Jackie: You know, that's okay. You know what? We can stay in.
Hyde: No, Jackie. Look, I told you, again and again I have no interest in you, and you don't have a chance. And yet, you keep thinking that I have interest in you, and you have a chance.
Jackie: Wait, did you just say that you're interested in me and that I have a chance?
Hyde: Okay. You know what? You've forced me to do this. I'm gonna explain my feelings to you through a highly disciplined form of Japanese poetry: haiku. "My heart aches with pain. When I see you, I vomit. Die away from me."
Donna: Ouch.
Hyde: [chuckles] Sayonara.

Quote from Red

Kelso: Look. I'm Paul Stanley from KISS.
Red: Kelso, don't play with the cheese. These damn kids. They don't respect anything American.
Kitty: Oh, Red, this isn't about the kids misusing dairy products. You're still upset that Bob marched in the Veteran's Day parade.
Red: Well, he was only in the National Guard. It's called Veteran's Day. Not Pansy-ass, National Guard Wussy, Pansy-ass Day.
Kitty: Oh, come on, Red. Are any dirty Commies less dead because of him?
Red: No, I guess not. You're right, Kitty. You know, I'm gonna put away this uniform, and then we'll fire up that grill.

Quote from Jackie

Jackie: And then Steven said, "That's cool." But not like "cool." More like he's jealous.
Donna: Jackie, or he just thinks it's cool.
Jackie: Donna, it is so romantic. Just like West Side Story. Yeah, but without the dancing and the Puerto Ricans. Wait. Is Fez Puerto Rican?
Donna: You know what? I don't know.
Jackie: Huh.

Quote from Midge

Donna: Mom, the Formans have a barbecue every Veteran's Day. I mean, why are we having one?
Midge: Honey, this isn't about a barbecue. This is about your father going bankrupt. Now help me with these chairs.
Donna: What? What are you talking about?
Midge: We need the chairs for people to sit on.
Donna: No, Mom. About Dad being bankrupt.
Midge: Your dad's appliance store's going out of business 'cause he can't compete with Price Mart. So he decided to throw a big barbecue.
Donna: Okay, I'm still not getting this.
Midge: Oh, your dad wants to be big shot one last time before everybody discovers what a failure he is.
Donna: Oh, my God.
Midge: And please don't tell anybody. He's very sensitive about being a failure.

Quote from Kelso

Kelso: Man, I can't believe Jackie chose that guy over me.
Fez: Or me for that matter.
Kelso: Yeah, that's true. 'Cause you're a good-looking guy.
Fez: Back at you, Kelso. Your eyelashes, they go for, like, miles.
Kelso: I've heard that. Yeah. I'm what's known as "man-pretty."

Quote from Donna

Donna: Did you ever stop to think that maybe my dad's barbecue is really important to him?
Eric: Uh, no. Because it's just a stupid barbecue.
Donna: It's not stupid. I'm so sick of your dad. He's such a jerk.
Eric: Whoa. My dad's a jerk? Well, Donna, your dad's a jerk, and he's just copying my dad. And your dad didn't even fight in the war. You're just a National Guard kid. Yeah, I said it. What? What?
Donna: Oh, yeah? Well, you and Red are going down. And you know what else? I was wrong, Eric. Red's not a jerk. He's an ass, and you're an ass. 'Cause the ass doesn't fall far from the ass tree. "What did I say, what?"

Quote from Jackie

Hyde: Jackie, get your car. We're going on a freakin' date.
Jackie: Oh, my God. It's a Veteran's Day miracle.

Quote from Hyde

Jackie: So, Steven. Isn't Veteran's Day romantic?
Hyde: Oh, yeah. Government pawns and missing limbs. That's amore.
Jackie: I know, I know. It's a day for people in love to have fun together.

Quote from Red

Kitty: Okay. Well, we've gone through three batches of ambrosia salad.
Red: Three batches! Not since D-day has there been such a complete and glorious victory.
