Quote from Donna
Donna: By the way, thanks for the ride. [kisses Eric]
Eric: What was that for?
Donna: I just... wanted to see what it was like.
Eric: What was it like?
Donna: You were there.
Eric: Yeah, I wasn't ready for it.
Donna: What would you have done differently?
Eric: I don't know. Something with my lips?
Donna: Sounds good. Let's try that next time.
Eric: When exactly is next time?
Donna: [o.s.] Good night.
Eric: Yeah, I'm really gonna sleep after that.
Quote from Donna
Hyde: Check it out.
[Kelso's jaw drops as Hyde shows him a magazine]
Donna: I see that every day.
Quote from Bob
Bob: Hi, there, Eric. [chuckles]
Eric: Mr. Pinciotti.
Midge: So, Eric, how do you like Bob's new hair? Isn't it groovy?
Eric: It's incredibly groovy, Mrs. Pinciotti.
Bob: Yeah, it was Midge's idea. It's a perm.
Quote from Kitty
Kitty: Well, honey, it is the gas crisis. What can you do?
Red: And you know, Bob, those SOBs at the dealership offered me a lousy $400 trade-in on the Vista Cruiser.
Bob: Yeah, what you gonna do?
Red: It'll rust in the driveway before I trade it in.
Kitty: Honey, it is rusting in the driveway.
Quote from Kelso
Eric: Good news. My dad is thinking of giving me the Vista Cruiser.
Kelso: You're getting a car?
Donna: Ooh, have I told you how incredibly attractive you are, Eric?
Eric: No.
Kelso: You told me he was cute.
Donna: No, I didn't.
Kelso: I remember, 'cause you said not to say anything in front of Eric.
Quote from Jackie
Eric: Wow, Marcia, a football in the face. That's gotta hurt.
Donna: Ouch, my nose!
Eric: That's gonna be huge in the morning.
Donna: Huger than my boobs?
Eric: Well, bigger than the left one.
Jackie: Why are we watching this without the sound? I am totally confused.
Quote from Kelso
Kelso: What happened to your dad's hair?
Donna: He got a permanent.
Kelso: So that's permanent?
Quote from Fez
Jackie: Donna, I have to go to the ladies' room. [Donna doesn't move] Donna? [Donna gets up]
Fez: I, too, must go to the bathroom. Eric?
Eric: No, it doesn't work that way with guys.
Quote from Red
[The wall behind Red and Kitty sways in Eric's P.O.V.:]
Red: Eric, your mother and I have been talking. Since I've been cut back to part-time at the plant and the hospital is so close, I can take the Toyota to work, and your mom can take the bus.
Kitty: Honey. Honey, really, I'd rather walk. When I ride the bus in my nurse's uniform, people always show me their scars.
Red: Then I'll drop you off on my way to the plant.
Kitty: Well, no, I don't wanna be any trouble.
Red: Then Eric can take you.
Kitty: He's a teenager. He doesn't wanna drop-
Red: Well, if he can't drop his own mother off at work, well, then I'll be damned if he's getting a car!
Quote from Red
[The wall behind Red and Kitty sways in Eric's P.O.V.:]
Eric: So... do I get the car? [Red tosses the keys to Eric] Bitching!
Red: Eric, not in front of your mother.
Eric: Thank you, Pop. Sir.
Red: Yeah, well... clean the attic.
