Quotes 

• Charles : [a car horn makes three long blasts to indicate that Ernest is a P3]  Who's that?

  Jason : That's the upper-class men. They flash their lights to say what rank they think we should get. Hey Charles, what's up with your socks?

  Charles : Don't worry about my socks man, it's a tuba thang shorty.

  Jason : Better be.

• Charles : Man, it won't be the same without you.

  Devon : It's all about the tubas now.

  Charles : What do you mean? It's *always* been about the tubas, shorty.

  Jason : Well, you know how Dr. Lee is about time.

  Devon : Yeah.

  [in Dr. Lee's voice] 

  Devon : "You're on time if you're five minutes early; you're late if you're on time."

  Charles : Look, Friday night, in my living room, be there, alright?
