Quote from Midge

Hyde: Mrs. Pinciotti? Look, I was thinking about getting a present for this girl. And you know, she's about Donna's age so I was kinda wondering what Donna... likes.
Midge: Perfume. Donna wears White Shoulders. It's not just for shoulders, you can wear it anywhere.
Hyde: Really?
Midge: Sure. Like your neck, or the mall.
Hyde: Wow! All right. Well, how much does a bottle of that run?
Midge: Oh, about $12.
Hyde: Well, what about a bottle of crappy perfume? What does that run?
Midge: Gosh, I don't know. I'll call Bob's mom.

Fez: Right. So good luck with Donna.

Quote from Kitty

Kitty: Oh, no, Laurie. No, that punch is for Eric's party. Here, why don't you take this tonic out to the bar? Make sure we have enough rum and vodka.
Bernice: All that rum and vodka. Kitty, you have a problem.
Kitty: It's for the party, Bernice.
Bernice: Oh, that's convenient. All I know is that my Red didn't start to drink until he met you.
Kitty: And I didn't start to drink until I met you. [laughs] Merry Christmas.

Quote from Red

Eric: Hey, Dad, one more thing about the party. I need some money.

Eric: Dad, you know how much I hate haggling with those tree-
Red: Haggling is part of being an adult. Here's $40.
Eric: I want $50.
Red: Knock it off! Pick out a good one.
