Hey, hurry up, will you, Earl? It's freezing out there.
I know that, fool. I'm the one out here freezing.
Hey, Cliff. Isn't it something, man?
My cousin Sterling settling down and marrying Arlene, man.
Yeah. Sterling always did have a whole bunch of good-looking girlfriends.

Hey, I'd like to have any of the girls he rejected.
In fact, I'd like f the girls .
Say, you know, Sterling always was lucky.
Yeah, now he's getting married in Scranton.

You know, one with a price tag and everything.
Earl, I'm sorry, man.
I can't afford to give you the money. I just don't have it.
Wait a minute. No wonder you don't. You probably spent it all on the radio,
where they'll even frisk you when you walk out.
Aw, Earl, man. You know how weddings are.
In all the excitement, nobody will even notice your present.
Aha, I guess that's what you want, huh?
Aw, man.

Doggone, this place looks like it's haunted.
Boy, this place sure smells funky.
You see that, man? You see that, man?
Now if you had listened to me instead of listening to Clifton,
we wouldn't have never got lost.
Earl, when someone is speeding 60 miles per hour down an icy highway,
you're not supposed to yell, "Turn here, fool!"
He's right. Leonard could have killed that nun.

Oh, no.
Now this has gone far enough.
Mama, would you please turn out the light?
No, no, leave it on. another s map.

Well, see Earl was feeling down, because...
I got a more expensive gift for Sterling than he did.
But I convinced him that that was nothing to feel bad about.
