Quote from Hyde

Hyde: Hey, I got you something. It's no big deal. But, you know, Christmas.
Donna: Suddenly Hyde's getting bashful? [opens present] Oh, wow! This is great.
Eric: What is it?
Donna: It's a picture of me and Hyde.
Hyde: Yeah, it's me and you in fifth grade. I've had it in my drawer forever, so I just framed it.
Donna: That is so sweet.
Eric: Yeah, that is so sweet.

Eric: You're welcome.
Donna: Oh, my God you can see my training bra through my shirt.
Hyde: Yeah, I remember that training bra.
Eric: Yeah, I wish I'd gotten you something like-
Hyde: Man. Dude, it's nothing.
Donna: It's not nothing. This is so thoughtful. It's the sweetest thing anyone's ever given me. [kisses Hyde on the cheek] Next to the perfume.
Eric: Right. Well, I wrapped it myself. I know how you like things... wrapped.

Quote from Jackie

Red: Eric, before you explain the beer, maybe you can tell me why there are two state troopers in the living room confiscating our Christmas tree?
Eric: Oh, um- That- Funny story, and a true story. You're gonna laugh-
Red: Get to the point!
Eric: We cut the tree off the side of the interstate.
Red: Well, that's just great, Eric. Now the party's over, you're grounded, and I want what's left of my $40.
Eric: Kelso, give it to him.
Red: Oh, no!
Kelso: Yeah, I sort of spent it on Jackie's gift.
Jackie: Oh, Michael, my hot rollers! [squeals] You got in trouble for me, Michael? Oh, I love you, Michael! [sobs]

Girl #1: God bless us, everyone!
Jackie: And Hyde loves Donna.
Hyde: She's crazy, man!
Red: Eric, what the hell is going on here? Have these girls been drinking?
Eric: No. Look, Dad, I swear. Just Mom's punch.
Red: [drinks] Lousy with hooch!
Hyde: You see? You see? You see, Red? She's drunk, man. That's drunk talk. False.
Red: Come on, Jackie. I'll take you and the "sob sisters" home. Eric, the rest of that beer goes in my refrigerator. Donna, your father's upstairs. I suggest you join him. Steven, you help Eric clean up. And Kelso, go home!
Fez: Eric, do something. Your father's taking my women!
