Season 3, Episode 10 -  Aired November 28, 1987

Stan breaks the news to Dorothy that the Internal Revenue Service is auditing their old tax returns. Meanwhile, Rose tries to learn Spanish.

Quote from Dorothy

Rose: Wait a minute, if you bought the ring back, how did you come up with the money?
Stan: Sold the Corvette.
Dorothy: You didn't.
Stan: Yeah, it was tough. I had some great times with that car, but the times I had with you were a hell of a lot more important.
Dorothy: Oh, Stanley.
Stan: I'm so sorry. Me too. [chuckling] I guess I finally became what I always feared most: Another middle-aged bald guy who drives a Toyota.
Dorothy: Oh, Stanley, this... This is the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me.

Quote from Dorothy

Blanche: Rose, honey. Let's go down to Riley's and see if we can meet some men. Come on. Come on.
Rose: Okay.
Stan: If you're taking Biscayne Blvd., would you keep an eye out for my hair? [to Dorothy] We, um, really pulled it out of the fire, didn't we, babe?
Dorothy: We sure did.
Stan: It felt nice, you and me, working as a team again.
Dorothy: It did feel nice.
Stan: Reminds me of when we were first married.
Dorothy: We sure had some good times.
Stan: So, as long as I'm here, what do you say, Babe, for old time's sake, you wanna go to bed? [pained] Dorothy! Dorothy, let go, it was a joke. You're hurting me. You're really hurting me.

Quote from Dorothy

Stan: How can I explain it? When I sat behind the wheel, people noticed me. People paid attention. That car was a chick magnet.
Dorothy: That is it, Stanley. That's it. Get out. Get out of my house. Get out of my life.
Stan: Dorothy, what about the audit? We can get into a lot of trouble here. We could even wind up in jail.
Dorothy: Good, good. I want you to go to jail. And I want a big bald convict named Bubba to pick you for his girlfriend.

Quote from Dorothy

Mr. Murray: We'll expect you each to cough up $2500 in 30 days.
Dorothy: What if we can't?
Mr. Murray: We'll just have to put a lien on your bank accounts, your property, and your salaries. And if that doesn't work, we'll just have to incarcerate you.
Stan: Oh, my God. We're going to jail. [sobbing]
Dorothy: That's right, Stanley. And please, let me know where you and Bubba register for your china.
