Quote from Red

Kitty: So... you've been playing much bingo, Pearl?
Pearl: Oh, for God's sakes, Kitty, I ate your damn pudding. So go!
Kitty: Laurie, say something nice.
Laurie: Fine. Something nice.
Pearl: That's my magazine. [goes to the bathroom]
Red: [closes door] Nobody needs to see that.
Pearl: [o.s.] Get out!

Quote from Red

Kitty: Pearl, honey, please come out. Oh! Laurie, she kinda likes you. Do something.
Laurie: Aunt Pearl! [knocks on door] Why don't you come out, and you can show me your damn scrapbooks again?
Pearl: [opens door] Every time you people come, I gotta get dressed and put my teeth in. And you're not worth it, so get lost! [closes door]
Laurie: Now can we go?
Red: [Kitty nudges Red] No. [clears throat]
Kitty: Okay, fine. You know what? I give up. Let's just go. I just hope when I get old, someone comes to visit me.
Laurie: Don't be ridiculous, Mom. Eric will come. Well, I'm gonna go warm the car up.
Red: No, Laurie. This is important to your mother. So sit down. Come on, Pearl. There's a Bucks game on.
Pearl: [opens door] The Bucks, huh? Oh-ho!
Kitty: Well, you know, see? This is nice.
Pearl: The only thing that keeps me alive is watching the Bucks lose. Pfft!
Red: [quietly] Go Bucks.

Quote from Hyde

Hyde: Hey, what's going on?
Jackie: Nothing. Nothing at all. Thank you, Hyde, for tonight. It was very special.
[Jackie gives Hyde a quick kiss and then leaves]
Kelso: Oh!
Hyde: Isn't she nice? Hey, fellas, you like my new boots?

Quote from Eric

Eric: Listen, Donna...
Donna: No. Wait. I've been thinking about... you know... what happened. And I realize I may have overreacted. It's just that I'm a little vulnerable now that our relationship is... mature.
Eric: Donna, no apology necessary. I welcome your insane behavior and criticism.
Donna: Don't be a jerk, Eric.
Eric: No. No. Uh, ahem, I'm actually... I'm being serious. I'm willing to do... whatever it takes for us to be together. Whatever it takes. It's worth it.
Donna: Well... thank you.
