- Bum Johnston: A tie? Gimme a break. Boring! Like kissing your sister. Sure, you're still puckering your lips, but the thrill's all gone.
- Shifty Nelson: [seated at the dinner table with Alice, Cathy and Laura] I understand you're somewhat of a hockey player, Cathy. I bet that raises a few eyebrows, huh?
- Alice Yarrow: Uh, Martin, would you please pass the Brussels sprouts?
- Shifty Nelson: I used to play a little myself way back when. Old Shifty Nelson, they used to call me. You want to know why? I'll tell you why. Because I used to play on every shift.
- Cathy Yarrow: Do I have to listen to this crap?
- Alice Yarrow: Cathy! You apologize to Mr. Nelson.
- Cathy Yarrow: *Mister* Nelson? I thought it was Shifty.
- [storms away from the table]
- Alice Yarrow: Cathy! Don't you dare leave this table.
- [chases after Cathy as Nelson says something unintelligible]
- Alice Yarrow: Sit down, Nelson.
