• Mike Callahan : [about Stephanie while sitting in Kenny's car]  Yeah, and why does she get shotgun, anyway?

  Kenny Morittori : Because she called it.

  Brendan Dorff : When?

  Kenny Morittori : She texted me this morning at 9:14 AM.

  Mike Callahan : You can't text shotgun!

  Kenny Morittori : Then why'd YOU text me at 9:18?

  Mike Callahan : Fine. Then I'm calling shotgun right now for the way home.

  P.J. Franklin : Would I NOT give your cigarettes back?

  Evan : No-no-no. You WOULD give them back.

  Evan : Can we stop being clever?

  P.J. Franklin : Please.

• P.J. Franklin : But sometimes a curveball is good because, if you connect with one, it can be a whole new ball game.
