Quote from Eric
Eric: You know what? Falling off that water tower was a sign. The minute I stopped working hard, I accomplished exactly what I needed to do. I found the ring.
Jackie: And, if you're gonna land on a diamond, it's best to land on the smallest one ever made.
Eric: Well, I'm afraid your schoolyard insults have no power here, child. I'm a whole new me. Tougher, braver and louder. I'm gonna go tell my dad what's what, and get my gosh-darn fried chicken.
Quote from Bob
Bob: Okay, Donna, here's the situation. I have to choose between Pam and Midge, and it's a very personal and intimate decision that only I can make. It's really scary, so I'd like you to do it.
Donna: Dad, I can't choose for you.
Bob: Come on. You choose my shirts, choose my lady love.
Jackie: Mom, where are you going?
Pamela: Bob, I saw how hard you struggled to get on the roof earlier, what with the kicking and the wiggling. I realized that it was time for me to go home and give you and Midge a chance.
Bob: You're one fine lady.
Pamela: Well, I'll miss you, Bob. And, honey, it's scary to be on my own, but if you come with me, I know I can do it.
Jackie: Oh, Mom, I would love to come home with you!
Pamela: Oh, good. You're the only one who can explain things to the maid!
