- Howard Handupme: And taking a look at the long range forecast, continued snow, darkness, and extreme cold. This is Howard Handupme, saying goodnight...
- [pause]
- Howard Handupme: ... and goodbye...
- Ethyl Phillups: [regarding Earl] I always knew he'd screw up, but I never thought he'd screw up this bad!
- B.P. Richfield: Let's see, how can we make it rain?
- Earl Sinclair: Well, we could have everybody wash their cars. That usually makes it rain.
- Roy Hess: Or everybody could take a bath. No, that makes the phone ring.
- B.P. Richfield: OH SHUT UP.
- Earl Sinclair: Maybe we went a little overboard with the poison.
- Charlene Sinclair: A little? Your stupid spray killed all plant life!
- Earl Sinclair: Hey, what are you complaining about? You never liked salads anyway.
- Robbie Sinclair: You've destroyed the global food chain! No plants means no food at all!
- Earl Sinclair: Nonsense! There's a wide variety of commercial snack foods which have virtually no natural ingredients.
- Fran Sinclair: Earl, we can't live on Ho-Ho's!
- Baby Sinclair: I can!
- Charlene Sinclair: [on the news regarding the bunch beetles] We've plowed over their mating grounds and annihilated an entire species.
- Stan: All gone.
- Charlene Sinclair: And for what?
- Stan: What?
- Charlene Sinclair: Wax fruit!
- Robbie Sinclair: Dad, you're going to coat the entire continent with poison? Isn't there some safer alternative?
- Earl Sinclair: Like what?
- Charlene Sinclair: Well, trim back the vines as much as we can, live with a little discomfort, and hope that nature eventually restores the balance.
- Earl Sinclair: That's inconvenient and time consuming, my idea is exciting and high tech.
- Robbie Sinclair: Yeah but have you tested this stuff to make sure it's safe?
