Peter: You willlll! Remember how his arch-nemesis was the [Peter makes quotation marks with his hands]] "Rat-King"? Terry: Oh, no no no. We're not giving away rats. Peter: I already bought 'em! Terry: You what!? Peter: Don't worry, all 200 of them are safe and sound inside this [Taps on empty cage] cage. Hmm... They're all gone. Terry: Course they are. Peter: Must've left the lid off. Probably for the best. Terry: Go on. Peter: Well, all the rats that were left over I was going to feed to our new pet snake. Terry: What snake? Peter: That twelve-foot boa constrictor in that cage over there. [Camera pans to another, larger empty cage] Oh, it's gone too. Terry: Just out of curiousity, what was in that [points to even larger empty cage with bent bars] cage? Peter: You don't want to know [Grabs a battle axe]. Peter: It's a comic book shop. Everything about it is supposed to be fun. I used to brush my teeth with Tang. Terry: Why would you brush your teeth with Tang? Peter: [Matter of factly] Because I wanted the smile of an astronaut. Uch... Ever since you came back it's been all 'money, money, bitches and honey'. Terry: OK, that is a terrific impression of me. But it's not true. Peter: Oh yeah? You're all about the bottom line! You're Mr. "Buy High, Sell Low". Terry: You see? That is exactly why you're not allowed near the money. Peter: Then I'll just get away from you and your precious "The Money". [Jumps off counter] Ahh, dammit, why'd I put all the rat-traps back here? Terry and Peter vs. the Law [1.6] Rayna: Two break-ins in one week, Boyd? Tonight I need you to stake-out the mall. Boyd: Stake out? Tonight's no good. I've already made plans. Staying up all night in my van, eating junk food, monitoring the comings and goings of the mall... Rayna: That's what a stake-out is. Boyd: Well... Things just got interesting. Terry and Peter vs. the Season Finale [1.8] Peter: Please Terry, I'm not completely useless. Remember, I built my own scissor hands? [Cuts to flashback] ...Oh, my fly's open. Now to do it up, which I'm sure will be a total success, and completely uneventful. Terry: What a horrible example. Rayna: [Starts to drink cappucino, and then pulls out drenched sock] Is this a sock? Peter: No refunds. Rayna: I haven't paid yet. Peter: That'll be four dollars. Boyd: I'm really going to miss you Peter. Terry: Terry. Boyd: Right! Oh, and if in your travels you come across a one-legged man who answers to the name of Vargus, tell him I want my life back.
