Peter: It's a country. Howie: I'd like to dip you in Cheez Wiz and spread you all over a Ritz cracker, if I'm not being too stuble. Charlene: Boy, you some kind of freaky! Howie: Oh, you have no idea. You got me straight trippin' boo! Mrs. Kline: We have to brush your hair differently. You look like a fag. Peter: I message for you.

Get used to it, twiggy; you're going to be seeing a lot more of me around here! Ashley: [to Peter, about Charlene] Not without a broom in your hand.

Howie: Do me a favor, precious: don't ever scare me like that again, or I'm going to give you a nasty spanking... if I'm not being too subtle! Charlene: [smiles] He's such a damn freak! Peter: Charlene, what is this particular taste? It's familiar, yet... what is it, some sort of an herb, like sage? Charlene: Naw... it's more like a milk of mint. Peter: Well, whatever it is, the taste is explosive! Charlene: Well, good then! Enjoy!
