• Barry : It's just one big rock video, eh Kent?

  Kent : Yeah!

  [laughs] 

  Kent : [Both are silent for a moment]  Well, go on, Bear... it's your show.

  Barry : [after a pause]  Yeah, that it is, that it is, it's my show.

• Barry : We have a very special guest with us tonight... Kent. Say hello to everybody, Kent.

  Kent : Alright!

  Barry : My sentiments exactly. We've brought Kent on board to get an inside look on the future of America. Kent is the classic American youth: energetic and resourceful, spoiled, perverse, and disturbed. Would you say that's an accurate description, Kent?

  Kent : Yup, sure!

  Barry : Now what do you call that haircut?

  Kent : I don't know... Rock and roll!

  Barry : ...Are you high right now Kent?

  Kent : Am I high?

  Barry : Are you on drugs, or is this your naturally moronic self?

  Barry : [Kent leans over laughing]  Watch the drool, you're getting all over the console.

• Barry : I'm listening, Michael. What's up?

  Michael : Yeah, I heard your little advertisement there for the pizza place.

  Barry : Yeah, Jericho's Pizza. I love that pizza. What about it? Don't you like it? You sound like you'd love it. I enjoy Jericho's Pizza.

  Michael : What I wanted to say to you tonight, Mr. Champlain, was... I have an interest in this place, or at least, some friends of mine...

  Barry : Just use one-syllables, Billy, if it's really difficult. Oh, Michael.

  Michael : Hey, smart guy.

  Barry : Just use one-syllable...

  Michael : Smart guy? Smart guy?

  Barry : We're being- Oh, Smart guy. Smart guy. We got somebody with a little lip on us tonight.

  Michael : Hey!

  Barry : Hey. Hey. Hey. Don't call me "Hey." My name isn't Hey, ok?

  Michael : This is not a conversation. This is a monologue. I talk, you listen. Understand me? Understand me?

  Barry : Oh, yeah, we're listening. Go ahead.

  Michael : I don't want you makin' any more comments about the place, the pizza joint.

  Barry : Do you have relatives that run the place?

  Michael : People gotta make money on this.

  Barry : Uncle Vinnie or someone?

  Michael : There are people...

  Barry : You know what I think, Michael? You're a meatball.

• Kent : YOU DON'T GET IT, WIMP? HERE'S WHAT YOU GET! YOU GET $1.59 AND YOU GO DOWN TO THE DRUG STORE! BUY YOURSELF A PACK OF RAZOR BLADES AND SLASH YOUR FUCKING WRISTS, PINHEAD!
