With a big see-thru 'fridgerater. It was full of sammiches! But... but... I couldn't open the door, Martin! So I just stood there and cried man. Oh yeah! Bruh-Man cried.
  • Martin: [repeated line; to Tommy] You ain't GOT no job, man!
  • Martin: Tommy, it's all good. If you like her, then we like her. It don't matter what color she is. I don't care if she's black, white, green, or whatever.

  • Martin: There's a difference, a good job is hard to come by, but they got Dark & Lovely on damn near every corner you pass!
  • Pam: This is great. This is really, really, great. I fly all the way here with Harold Muppet and the Blue Notes, and I still can't get out of this marriage.
  • [repeated line]
  • Martin: WAZZUP!
  • Pam: Martin was the one who said Cole was a virgin until he was 23!
