Dick: Do you know that right after they recorded that song Jan himself crashed his car... Barry: It was Dean you idiot... Rob: It was Jan. It was a long time after the song. Barry: Okay, whatever. Tell Laura I Love Her. That would bring the house down - Laura's Mom could sing it. You know what I'd want? One Step Beyond by Madness. And, uh, You Can't Always Get What You Want. Dick: No. Immediate disqualification because of its involvement with The Big Chill. Barry: Oh God. You're right! Dick: Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot. Barry: You bastard!

    Customer: Hi, do you have the song "I Just Called To Say I Love You?" It's for my daughter's birthday. Barry: Yea we have it. Customer: Great great... Well, can I have it? Barry: No, you can't. Customer: Why not?! Barry: Because it's sentimental tacky crap that's why. Do we look like a store that sells "I Just Called to Say I Love You"? Go to the mall! Customer: What's your problem?! Barry: Do you even know your daughter? There's no way she likes that song! Oh oh oh wait! Is she in a coma? Customer: Oh, okay buddy. I didn't know it was Pick on the Middle-Aged Square Guy Day. My apologies. I'll be on my way. Barry: [sarcastically] Buh-bye! Customer: Screw you!

    Rob: What did Laura mean last night when she said, "I haven't slept with him yet." Yet! What does "yet" mean anyway? It means you're gonna do it, doesn't it? Or does it? Rob: [To Barry] Just come on. What would it mean to you, that sentence: I haven't seen Evil Dead II yet? Barry: Well, to me it would mean that you're a liar. You've seen it twice.

But let's just say that I hadn't seen it and I said to you, "I haven't seen Evil Dead II yet", what would you think? Barry: I'd think that you're a cinematic idiot and I'd feel sorry for you. Rob: All right. But from that one sentence, would you think that I was going to see it? Barry: I'm sorry, Rob. I'm struggling here. You're asking me what would I think if you told me you hadn't seen a film that you have already seen. What am I supposed to say? Rob: Just liste

    Rob: Why'd you have to tell her about the store? Barry: Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was classified information. I mean, I know we don't have any customers, but I thought that was a bad thing, not like a business strategy!

    Rob: Just the obvious stuff. Laura: What's the obvious stuff? Rob: I don't know. Laura: So it's not that obvious, then. Rob: No.
